That mechanic and the rng dice is what is stopping me from trying this. I have a suite of powers, but can only use two of them in a day. It's as stupid as saying I have to chose which two of my limbs I want to be usable for the day. Then RNG dice to determine if your abilities actually decide to work today? Fuck that noise.
I had successful talk to mom interaction and she took me to a coffee shop so I can work there. Nothing else. The first was clunky and grindy but there were a whole bunch of girls and cheating to make everyone horny 24/7 was pretty good, but this dosen't even have the smol goth sister in it outside of the intro.

I've got a very strange love-hate relationship with games from this dev. They're rather unique and I enjoy them a lot, but at the same time their grind is ridiculous and hellish, and I can only stomach them with cheats. Writing and scenes are in a weird spot too, since I know they are far from the best and yet I still find myself enjoying them.
I'm going to wait until this one gets a few updates before trying it out. Looks promising.

some devs seem to trying to be different by making games too complex-game definition=
an activity that one engages in for amusement or fun.
played first one yes i cheated otherwise i would not have bothered with it,lets hope this one is better

As someone who enjoys dark souls and the games of old where it wouldn't let you pass without completing the level I agree, I also however realise not everyone is me, so the option should be there regardless of my personal feeling on the matter to be honest.maybe-but are not games meant to be fun to play

by all means challenge the player but it should entice the player with clear direction to a clear goal,for me at least the first version had too many vairiables with too many outcomes.the old games show us in part what games were supposed to be,fun at first then challenging but these are adult games with a different set of values.i dont expect to have to fight a boss 10 times before i beat him,i am only saying that why complex an adult game to the the point its not fun or enjoyable without cheating but thats just my point of view with this dev

Bah, it change compared to other micro-management games, here you must micro-manage dices and limbs, all the rest is nothing
Seriously, introducing rng so much in such a game is an heresy and completly destroy it, maybe 5% or 10% max of variance to emulate fumble in using powers could be ok but here there is too much failure chance, it's like going hunting with a rubber gun ...

For me the complexity of this game is what makes it fun for me. If this game were easy I would have just forgotten about it like so many other VN games on this site.by all means challenge the player but it should entice the player with clear direction to a clear goal,for me at least the first version had too many vairiables with too many outcomes.the old games show us in part what games were supposed to be,fun at first then challenging but these are adult games with a different set of values.i dont expect to have to fight a boss 10 times before i beat him,i am only saying that why complex an adult game to the the point its not fun or enjoyable without cheating but thats just my point of view with this dev
Honestly, for a tech demo, this is actually pretty darned robust for an example of what is available.
Like, take Maggie for instance. She has different antics and behavior depending on a whole range of stats, there is different intimate details depending if the MC is a gent, a lady, or a bit of both. Several different powers have a direct potential cause and effect that tweaks the goings on a bit more.
Not saying it's perfect by any stretch, but there is some potential here to be sure.

Wasn't talking about the rags version that was long abandoned for the renpy version which I was a fan of but the renpy version is what I was asking about, with that said if their are still wips and to do messages in the renpy version that leads to nothing than the game is best called abandoned.

I agree with the fact that for me complexity in games is very interesting, I like management games where there is some sort of challenge but it is true only if you can plan your moves to create your own roadmap with your objectives.
In this context some random events can add fun IF missing them or fail them don't destroy your plan. Here rng is used on each action, combined with the limited useable powers per day, have as result that missing a dices roll kill your day (and often makes you rollback a few days) because you can't really react due to the limited choice of powers per day.
In SP0, SP1 and Looser, the more you learn the better you are and the more choices you have. Here, whatever the grind you will do to train and to buy/learn powers, you will be artificially limited (even with max focus) and in any case a bad roll will make you loose some days of game. Is there really an interest to grind and train in this context?
I only consider the core of the gameplay, all other things (lack of QOL options, balance,...) are peanuts and can be corrected as time advance but when you completly miss the core and have at start a bad gameplay the "game" is dead.
I can't really understand the difference between SP1 and SP2, why to re-create the wheel when you have an existing gameplay which did work? Without speaking that in this case the wheel have been transformed in a square...
I'd forgotten how 'superpowered' it felt to fail all the time... after an hour of play time i succeded once with the mom... this is hardly a game at this point. dev needs to take the dice game out. and yeah the limited powers thing is the dumbest idea storywise... and gameplay wise. mc is a superhero with two random powers that never work...
