As a concept it could be really nice, overall managing the place and your relationships could be interesting, even more having both sides of the stick, meaning the brothel vs harem situation (or even a mix in which you pimp your girls lol).

Having said that the game seems to hint towards different routes and... managing games work better with just stats rather than fixed routes, especially if it's gonna have a decent gameplay about it.

Overall it could be a funny game of challenges and sexy moments.

But to be fair this can't truly be called a game at this state, character interactions are weird and direct, transitions need more work and there is no gameplay at all, even more the UI and all graphics are really bad atm, I would rather call it a "proof of concept" at most.

Things that I would expect based on the game concept:

-Multiple options to get access to the data, Debbie being the free one but that can have negative effects (such as blackmailing or if she is bisexual that she could use that to her favour in seducing them, even more if she gets mad at you that she used her blackmail material).

-Not easy way outs and reasons to interact with negative characters, for example Missy displays a dominant/bitchy attitude but I don't think we have any reason to interact with her, changing a bit the setting she could actually support you financially (which is really needed at the start) but you have to deal with her attitude until you don't need her support or you can blackmail her (but well it could be interesting that the MC becomes more submissive the more you interact with her).

-Developing your building to earn more money or have less costs, better living conditions for the win!

-Having temporary tenants that have effects, for example you can accept a drunkard to earn his rent but he will try to take advantage of the girls living there and it will be negative to happiness, however if the girls are bitches that love sex it could actually be a positive to it.

Overall these are just a few things that I would expect if the concept was more developed, which would need quite a few stats:

-Girls having traits, fetishes, relationships, dominant/submissive stat...
-MC having his own stats like dominance and fetishes
-Building condition and effects
-Overall stats such as happiness, economic circunstances (ability to pay the rent, some girls may propose to pay in a "different way"), security (protection against undesirable people).

Could it be interesting to deal with all of that? yeah, 100% sure, even more for those that don't want any challenge at all it's as simple as locking some stats and giving the player a starting situation to not need or depend on Missy.

But it's quite a bit of work, to be fair I would recommend that you play some management games and try to work on the UI for the start, I give as a good example of UI and ren'py use the well known game Summertime Saga, most people wouldn't even notice that game is made on ren'py, but be it the starting screen, visuals for options and choices and the overall UI is really well done.

Having said that, good luck with your project.

The game sounds good, but I would like to know if there is a lot (or if that is the intention) of: Blackmail, Male Domination, Female Domination, Sleep Sex. I'm not a big fan of these tags. Regarding corruption, it depends on what we mean and how it's carried out (if it's to turn the girls into sluts, it doesn't motivate me much)

Being fair sleep sex seems really situational; about blackmail, male domination and female domination seems that the original intention was to be route based, albeit it's much better stat based because you can actually disable it or make an easy mode to evade it.

The only fetish that seems to be core would be corruption, at least based on description and actions that the character takes, however the original intention seems to be based on routes and the options had a more corruptive side or a girlfriend side, still using routes in a management game feels like a total mistake.

Optimally on a management game you usually have a few difficulty settings (easy having more money and less costs, normal being as intended and hard as an economical challenge), the main issue you tend to have is money, so if you have a good economical situation you would tend to be really free on your interactions, while having heavy money issues could truly force you to do stuff such as pimping a girl, accepting negative tenants and stuff like that.

I'm going to try to see how the game is. I don't know if it will convince me about corruption, but we'll see

If you create a quality game that includes some form of sex, you will find an audience. So I wouldn't recommend worrying about whether the game will find an audience or not. The key is to create a quality game. However, in the future whether you continue with this project or a completely different project, I'd recommend trying as hard as possible on delivering a good first release. It makes a world of difference between getting people on board as being early patrons who are looking forward to the next release or a scenario where people will know not to try for at least several more releases in the future. Whatever you do, I wish you the best.

Adequate english.

"male protagonist" tag missing

Even though its in "Alpha" (some might argue it shouldn't be released in Alpha) repeating events are annoying with Missy and Quinn...and some placeholders are distractingly bad that maybe the initial "home" tour images should of rather been recycled.

Its early but I always look forward to blackmail games, lets hope Patreon restrictions don't hinder progress.
Thank you for the feedback, Ill be working on it in the upcoming weeks.

"So the game is no where near complete, I cant figure out how to import maps yet so please bear with me. More characters will be added however this is just to see how many people like the game."

These two lines worry me more then anything.

First line seems like you are not happy with what you put out but did anyway now want us to give you are break on the content of the game.

Second makes it seem like if you do not get Patreon support right away for this game it is going the way of the dodo.

Never before has a put the reasons I do not play first releases right into their Dev notes.

Hope you stick to it but I am skipping for now I may check back IF there are a few releases more to this.
Thank you for the feedback, I mainly put it out there to see what need improvement so far, Tho i bug test as i build the game i don't have that much time to do full testing and have seen a few comments about bugs and repeat events so ill be working on them before more content is added. also the money system is unbalanced so i was interested in hearing peoples suggestions

Honestly comments like this are exactly why i wanted to relese it so early, you have given me some good points to improve the game before i go to far in one direction with it.

I am alittle unsure of how i could make a stat system but i do have an idea, it was originally going to be a bit more randomly generated but im still learning.

Next time I work on the game ill have a quick look at this again as a reference of improvement.

Thank you for your input and subjections.

This is way too underbaked in its current form. If you are wondering if people on this site would be intrested in a porn game you really don't need to worry. It is kind of important to get the basics in place before you release it to the public though. As it is the game is chock full of typos, placeholder art, unimplemented features, and basically nothing else. Even for a first release this is just too rough.

Nothing playable yet.. I gave up on trying to see any more scenes beside the computer video as it currently has no direction.. Not even single days are in yet just weeks. Right now just title it pre-alpha demo phase because there is absolutely nothing to see at this time that I could see but a single masturbation scene on the computer file.
