Unity The Dancing Inn [v0.3.2] [The Dancing Inn]

[Willaberhaben]

I fully agree that fully balancing it right now would not be something that can be easily done.
However i do think that its time to point out that this part should (at some point) get some way to actually get more perks.
And in my personal opinion: It should be possible end game to get most if not all perks if the player actually invests in that. With the current x2 cost increase that would be plain out unreasonable to get a lot of perks unless you will get millions of exp for adventuring later on. And i doubt that this is the plan.
Which means it would be a good idea to at least brainstorm about what kind of balance you want.

And this is again just my personal opinion:
1) I want to get my super genious sluts in the endgame
2) I would prefer not being locked into having them all do only 1 job because thats the only one giving enough exp

which leads me to the suggestion that the cost curve for multiple perks gets reduced (again: not necassarily with the next patch, though i would like that).Here just a few ideas for brainstorming:
a) reducing the curve from x2 to something like +10 each. That would prevent the explosion for later perks
b) Getting a training that you pay with gold that reduces the cost by one step (so if you have 3 perks and two trainings you would again pay like if it was the first perk you buy). That would act as money sink
c) Free perks for reaching milestones. You could get one perk for the cooking category if you reach cooking 50 on a girl for example. That would reward you for giving them versatility and would tie in with clients for prostitution requiring stats too
d) Alchemy potions that give a random perk? That would make our alchemist trader much more useful

The game is overall pretty good. Kudos to the dev. The mining game, however, is atrocious. I've done it like 20 times. Dozens of gems of every type found. Not one fucking diamond. Seriously, wtf.

this mining game is diseased

Yeah, the RNG can be bad, but I notice the deeper in the mine you go, the more likely you are to get a diamond. I've gotten 3 in a single run. Just make certain to buy endurance to increase the amount of times you can dig.

Ditto on all the good UX feedback given earlier. It's really fucking annoying that the game doesn't save resolution or window settings. The lack of consistent locations for repetitive menu activity just plain sucks

What I was hoping to see:

• more images for every girl, every activity
• art refinement for the particularly bad examples of AI-weirdness
• more content for the new girl (she still has no image at all when assigned to a guest!)
• more bonding events with the girls, or new reasons to visit any other location at all
• more upgrades to the inn, you max it out very early

YOU KNOW, MORE PORN

What I got instead: more restrictions on seeing the porn. more downtime for the girls. the adventuring system is completely uninteresting bullshit, this isn't called "adventuring inn" dude

Look, I did the axe minigame until the inn was self-sustaining, and from that point on I don't want to engage with TEDIOUS AND BORING mini-games beyond the absolute bare minimum. All this update did was make this worse to play, because of how restrictive the girls HP has gotten.

Edit: i had a feature suggestion. The Depravity Level setting is set per girl, and changing it is a pain in the ass. I would recommend perhaps adding a global randomized setting. You have a ton of potential images, but the way the perks work it leads towards the girls specializing in a job. That and they level up too quickly to reveal all the images across all the tiers, and manually de-leveling them to see them is annoying. So you end up missing images from the tiers below max. Maybe a setting where they only hit max depravity on like Fri/Sat, or cycle through depravity based on libido? I don't know the right answer but i know it gets boring seeing the same images over and over, which feels really silly considering how many images are available.

The RNG for pictures to proc from activities is still really bad. I don't know if a fix has been attempted yet. I've taken a girl through her health from max to zero 5 times trying to get a single picture to proc. If you attempt to unlock the pictures and lock the depravity level you'll get girls going to full depravity while still trying to unlock "flirty" pics. That's never doing the optional talking to them to raise depravity, just the normal 1 to 2 points from serving/dancing.

True but if you reached that point and you want to still try getting the flirty pics as an example right click on the girls portrait and at the bottom right in much smaller writing where it says gallery and talk the button i'm assuming for you will say depraved , click on that and select flirty/horny/clean to try and get the pics you haven't yet (the way the dev intended which is partially the point to the game).

hope that helps (granted i know it will be tedious to try getting those pics . . . i do have a very simple and easy way to get to unlock all pics and i figured it out a long time ago and only did it once and then it completely defeated the purpose of the game . Unfortunately i won't say how because the dev poured alot of time into making the game and is still working on it ((maybe when it's complete i'll say how or someone else will))


TO THE DEV
i really do enjoy your game and the best part is the imagination of what the hell brought them to the point of the pic, makes it more fun making the little stories up in my head as it goes along. . . keep it up loving the work you doing. I do have a request could you make the writing next to their portraits white or a colour thats abit readable red is a little hard to notice

where is the cheat menu?

where is the cheat menu?

CTRL+SHIFT+D

Having a problem with the mining game. Once I dig down, I have no way of getting back up. I have the frog legs potion, but pressing J does nothing. ... Nevermind, I figured it out. Need to hit the spacebar to jump.

J activates the potion, spacebar is the jump button, so your next jump after pressing j will shoot you straight up.

Space bar to jump, 1 block up.
Pressing J give you a short duration (couple seconds) buff where you can jump about 5 blocks high instead of 1.
So the trick is to dig 5 blocks down, mine off to the sides otw down if you see a gem block.
Then dig one block to the side, and another 5 down.
That way you have landing zones for the jumps back up. Remember, you'll want at least a few potions with you.

Bug Report: V 0.2.7

Type: Functionality
Area of game: Cheat Menu
Description: The "Rest" option doesn't work.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Begin a game on normal difficulty.
2. Recruit any girl.
3. slot a girl into any action in the inn other than rest.
4. Go to the next day.
5. Observe the girl's health.
6. Press Shift + Ctrl + D to bring up the cheat menu.
7. Select Rest and close the cheat menu.
8. Observe the girl's health.

Result: The girl's health remains unchanged.
Expected Result: All girls' health should increase up to the maximum 100.


(This will be my last bug report for this build as the experience grind is too prohibitive to test all the perks without a health restore cheat especially with the health cost of 30 [29 with well,well, well perk] for studying and the health cost of 50 [49 with perk] for servincing guests.)

 

[High_Imperceptor]

Expected Result: All girls' health should increase up to the maximum 100.

This one may actually be working as intended and just labeled poorly. Hitting the "Rest" cheat button restores the player's stamina (so you can perform more actions with girls in their talk menus, cut wood, etc.), not the girls'. I don't think there is a cheat button that actually restores any girls' health.

Feedback:
For the next update, I'd recommend finishing the content for the girls.
Which includes:
1. Studying scenes for everyone besides Alma
2. Velissa's client scenes
3. Depravity events/quests for the other 3 girls
New features are nice but a lot of people won't even get to them if it means just seeing the frog without a picture

As for the adventuring system, the basics are there and don't seem particularly broken. But:
1. The fame cost is too high, so is the health cost
2. It's not clear if other stats affect adventuring, in fact the stats are very opaque beyond the requirements for quests and clients
3. Attunement eats XP but isn't increased by clicking on it
4. There is no clear indication what is the player supposed to achieve
5. To reach the end dwelling with the current costs, you need very high amount of fame and very skilled girls. But only Alma and Issa have sprites of fucking the monsters

As others have mentioned, making the game show scenes you haven't seen already would be prudent

The game is good and has great potential.

 

[alex666p]

Rushing end game content with basics unfinished is unwise. Finish the girls depravity unlock events and block depravity from rising untill event is done. That way people can see all events on all jobs in all tiers of depravity.
AFTER finishing upgrade events, If you want to balance income with higher health cost, add upgrades to girls rooms that reduce health cost and increase restoration from rest - better beds, ets. It will work as money sink and make health less of issue.
Also perks do need balancing or rework. Rigth now? I am not using em at all. Rolling good universal one first is impossible, and most job boosting push you to condemn girl to one job

Is there a way to reset the girls positions? As in, moving them all to the "available girls " list on the right? Issa somehow disappeared after serving a customer in one of the rooms and i have no idea falconetti Its a new save (erased the old one) and i did not use cheats.

Edit: Restarting the game fixed it somehow.

Edit2: I think i found what causes this. The girl seems to disappear, if she serves the cutomer and the customer also leaves "unsatisfied" on the next turn.

Thank you for reporting this, enough information for me to finally kill that bug.
