Ren'Py Symphony of the Void [v0.48b] [Mad Doc]

1. with the inn lady (justine), the 2nd choice (extra service) really doesn't indicate in any way what you are going to have her do.
That scene really feels like it is setting up future public use/sharing (making her serve her customers naked and develop a taste for it).
that should really be clearly indicated and also be avoidable. (from the placement and dialog it seems like you need to do it to unlock further progress with her)

2. If you go to the inn and then return. then it advances time from evening to morning, but does not restore your focus. even though you should have gone to sleep after coming back from the inn.

3. In regards to the new thing where you click on an icon in the top left to change what happens in a scene... That really messes with the fast forwards option. And is somewhat easy to miss even without it. it really should have just been a standard choice interface, as those halt the fast forwards to let you clearly select the choice you want.

moreover, it gives an indication on what you are actually going to do. all it tells you right now is that you are going to be using your power. But not HOW you are going to use it. making it a blind choice.
You could use replace the current pink empty heart icon at the sides of each choice bar with the 3 purple dots icon you use for this interrupt event.

1. I already explained in dev notes that public use/prostitution content a) will have an obvious "warning" b) will always be avoidable.
However exhibitionism events like serving customers naked, dancing, public masturbation etc. do not fall under prostitution/public use. These type of scenes will be common in this game.
2. I'll look into that.
3. I dont like menu options during h-events specifically because its an intrusive way of interrupting the scene.
The button will most likely stay, my patrons seem to like it and I like it.
Can it be improved? Absolutely.
I might do something similar to what one guy here suggested - tie different effects with specific color(like red for forced arousal/orgasm, blue for returning their awareness etc.) so the player can predict the outcome of pressing the button.

Thank God somebody else hates the menus during sex scenes.

This sounds like a dope idea.

The game's good, is there any warning when we've reached the end of content?

Right now I'm in the cell, have done Justine's extra service and some Amelia stuff and a couple Lessons in Faith and it seems that's all there is to do, but I'm not sure.

Also, good luck with this project!

Not sure if "doesn't like dark themes of mind control" or "racist against main character".

(I kid, even if you actually are turned off by darker skin tones in porn, that's often just a matter of aesthetics. I'm just cracking a joke about the different ways to interpret "I don't like dark MC".)

There should be a scene with Lysandra and Faeryl in the crypt.

To anyone else - did the scene with wight king trigger for you?

Yeah, I assume they just didn't point it out because it wasn't a sex scene, and also because it happened on its own. Though the fact that it happens automatically as days pass could be an issue, especially since I think one of them takes a number of days that's actually longer than what it takes to go through the current content. Someone might look through the options, see that there's nothing new, and then not bother to just hit the sleep button multiple times to see if something happens.

I can't seem to trigger that. I've got 17 power and there's nothing new for me to do. I've redone every repeatable scene multiple times as well as slept a bunch of days

Thanks for letting me know. Im at work so I cant do anything about it atm but I'll look into it asap(tomorrow).

Hmm... Is it tied to a particular day? Maybe the tavern time glitch had something to do with it.

Probably not and there are a few reasons for it, both practical and artistic
