It's not bad as an initial premise, but I have questions: Is the game only going to be about taking photos? Aren't you going to be able to interact with the models,
have dates with them or some kind of romance? take more intimate photos, or have sex with them later?
I wouldn't want it to be a Sinful Spaces 2.0 (they've been updating the game for years and you still can't kiss any of the tenants).
And finally, I understand that if this game has any kind of sexual content, will it be vanilla or will you later integrate other types, like, I don't know, BDSM porn photos an "evil route," taking advantage of the models to have sex, gain fame and money, I don't know, by making them prostitute themselves or something like that while you take pictures of them?

It's true that for now, the game is focused on photoshoots. I don't want to spread myself too thin; that's the best way to leave bugs that make life crazy
The ultimate goal is to be able to "play" with your models, which is why their level isn't based on fame but on trust.
Later, it will be possible to spend time with them outside of shooting, build relationships, and even send them on missions. (that's also why they all have a small lore, dating, missions and events will be based on this).
Currently, I'm working on properly finishing the basics and having a large enough pool to start the dating and mission system. Quite a lots of ideas are noted on my TODO list, and I need to refine them to determine how this will be done (narrative dialogue, event, mini-game, or a mix of all of the above).
So yes, there are plans to go further than Sinful Spaces, but for the moment I still have to figure out how to do it so as not to be too simplistic or too complicated (the mission system should appear from 0.6.x)
Try:
c:\users\YOURNAME\AppData\Local\Woody Gamez
there should be a save file...
Linux users playing the game with wine should look in
/home/YOURNAME/.wine/drive_c/users/YOURNAME/AppData/Local/Woody Gamez

ElwoOOod, after having played your game yesterday, here's some - hopefully - constructive critique:
- the current gui needs some polish, cause on smaller monitor devices (like mine) most of all text elements are nearly unreadable. Font size is too small and the current font is very difficult to read - so please exchange the font and adjust the size
- as rb813 mentioned before, the photos should be made larger when you click to zoom in on them. Or there should be a photo gallery/portfolio gallery with the same function. I mean, it's almost all about shooting photos with models, but you can't properly admire the ...ahm... results?! Weird. I understand your argument about the games' file size, but maybe there's a possible compromise?
- apropos shoots: it would be very much appreciated, if those photoshoots had some more interaction with the models, like poses to suggest to the model or some dialogue, maybe even some spicy content in between those sessions. So far, the shoots are indeed a bit boring, random and too much automated and generic. They would definitely benefit from more personal encounters over the playing time (with more and more built up trust). And models with more extroverted personality traits could maybe do something unexpected or bold like flashing, teasing, flirting or something like that?!
- upgrades to your studio equipment could be added as well to enhance the quality of the photos further as well as the management part of the game

Thanks for the feedback. Always interesting, and I'll take note of it all.
Regarding the user interface, I admit I hadn't thought of it, and I'll put it on my to-do list right away. Since a lot of elements are calibrated to fit into a very specific space, it won't be easy, but it's not impossible.
Regarding the zoom, I tested being able to enlarge them to about 50% of the screen (currently 25%), and it seems correct in my current tests. I'll probably offer it starting with 0.5.5, and if there are no problems, I'll enlarge them a little more.
One of the problems with SD photos is that most have small flaws, invisible at normal size or slightly enlarged, but obvious at full screen. In any case, a major project will begin starting with 0.6.0: reviewing all the photos, redoing the ones with flaws, and being able to offer them even larger without them taking over the HD photos (which will also be enlarged because they currently occupy 80% of the screen).
For the galleries, the model detail screen needs to be completely redone, but I prefer to wait until I have a clearer vision of what to properly put there; that will be the last update of 0.5.x.
In any case, it's funny you mention it because yesterday I finished a screen where we'll be able to see the HD photos in large format, categorized by style. I'm still having freezing issues due to texture loading, but the galleries are being tested
Regarding the studio upgrade, I'm currently focusing mainly on consumables via various stores, but I'm thinking of being able to offer it, particularly with the rental of a larger studio, permanent staff, and a few other options. I admit I have no idea how to represent it visually yet, but it's on my to-do list. But in my opinion, I won't tackle it before v0.7.x ^^
Regarding interactions with models, this is also in progress, even if it's only in its early stages. In v0.5.4, an event system is making its appearance. For the moment, it's still in testing, so it's only narrative or with a very small gain/loss, but this first system is in place. It remains basic. Don't hesitate to join my Patreon; I don't post every update here to avoid spamming. Aside from the fact that Patreons have the earlier version, everything remains free on my Patreon as long as you're a free member.
Here's my little roadmap to give you an idea:
v0.5.x really focuses on the basics of shooting, with its consumables, staff, their negative/positive effects, client requests, random events that break up the "I spam the shootings" routine, visitable locations like shops, some of which improve the models' well-being, and a solid base of 15 models. v0.6.x will focus on the model interactions themselves, from simple things like invitations to go out to more complex things like sending them on missions to get awesome photos, or other things I haven't detailed yet in my to-do list so as not to confuse myself ^^
I don't think I've forgotten anything, and thank you again for taking the time to provide this feedback; it's always useful, whether it's to confirm that my roadmap is heading in the right direction or to add additional elements.

There is 5.5 on their patreon site but unfortunately no heroes here who can share the latest version (5.5 is out since several days). You can get 5.3 for free by joining patreon but there is not that much difference between 5.2 (available here) and 5.3 - just a few more pictures and a new girl...
I am also looking forward to the next free version.
