HTML Abandoned The Influence [v0.12] [MrNovaX]

[MrSalem]

Maybe the broken event in the cafeteria?

 

[Bandai_)))))]

Hey there, are you taking about the general store? Could you tell me what day and time the error happened?

Sure, it was at around the main part of the free roam section. I had taken a job mowing the lawn and went to the store after buying the bus pass. After applying and working, it had no area to progress the page, forcing me to return to the previous screen.

After an hour of playing enjoying the story and system of the game, got stuck in to a screen on the job which have not any way to move out of It. So I have to restart the game cause is not saved, stupid bugs like this could be solved adding a direction grid on the side of the UI... Not gonna restart, so cya "what could be a wonderful game", If the game progresses maybe I'll be back...

I see that you were smart with how your going to introduce cherictors. Only the base ones are needed as of now rest will be introduced when in use. Keeps the game less packed with filler cherictors who don’t actually do anything.

i do have a suggestion though when you do start adding in cherictors plan it wisely or at least with some more thought then she’s hot (I have seen people use pornstars who’s filmography don’t even pass 3 scenes before, ideots) because that bites creators in the butt all the time.

to explain what I mean think of it this way. The Star needs a few things to actually be truly advantageous and useful for long term development and use in multiple scenes (determined by you game content of course). In otherwords find the veterans around 3 years plus (their are some exceptions to this rule, example autumn falls only lasted a year but has a large quantity of work). Have at least 10+ scenes and the more variations the better (example dillan Harper is a hardcore veteran but she only ever did vanilla, with just a few ever verging from that). Finally try to pick cherictors that have had scenes together makes it less of an uncanny valley if a scene ever happens between them. Really all this is ment to do is streamline the process so it would be easier to find scenes and possibly future content while preventing dead ends or the need of creative workaround do to no matching scenes.

Hey there and thanks for the message. Finding images/scenes is probably the one thing that is slowing me down the most when adding more content to the game, so I definitely agree that finding a Star who has a larger amount of content is very important.

Hey there, I haven't really made it clear enough in game. But in order to unlock the influence level 2 you have to meet two requirements: Read the books vincent gave you in your room 5 times and influence three characters, after you meet these requirements then you should be able to sleep at night which should automatically take you to the event.

Yeah, that never happened for me. So far I've finished all the books and influenced Mom, Mrs Veronica and Ava twice each. No level up or anything.

stuck at intro, restarted and skipped intro, stuck at first class, you might want to add a text that is clickable here ....

The text is there but it can be hard to see, could you send me a screenshot of where exactly you were stuck at?

 

[Deleted member 3267607]

Looking good so far. But one of the first things it needs is an "undo last action" button. Got stuck in the library with an empty text without any way out. Such things will probably happen a lot during development and might save you and players a lot of headaches.

Hey there, I'm not sure why the back button isn't working as I've been using it all the time while developing the game, I am looking into this issue.

I went to the gym to train, not read....
And eventhough I have found and turned in the books, I can still search for them several places.
Just two of the many minor bugs that is in the game. Either I have reached the current end, or whatever I need to do to progress have bugged in some way, as all I can do is more of the same, already maxed stats and talked and influenced all that are available.
Overall it is a decent beginning, but the quests needs better hints, or an 'end of current content' label

Hey there, no idea why you are having that error in the picture but I'll definitely look into it. Thanks for alerting me to these bugs. And I definitely will be reworking the quests so that you know when you are at the end of the current content.

Shouldn't that actually increase the Influence? My influence was 1 went I got it, and it still is 1. The main thing in the game not increasing will create a lot of problems down the road in the game.

Hey there, that message isn't meant to actually increase your level of the influence, but is more a hint that you are on the path to do that. I am going to rework the quest a bit because it is too vague on how to progress. But after influencing multiple characters and reading the books from vincent in your room you should be able to sleep and automatically be taken to the event that unlocks the influence level 2.

 

[Deleted member 3267607]

Navigation is really broken. You need some kind of back button or a button that takes you home when you get stuck somewhere. I have gotten stuck so many times and had to restart that I just gave up. Pretty frustrating even for an initial release.

Hey there, does that back button in the sidebar not work for you? It seems to be broken for a few people. Could you tell me where you have gotten stuck at?

 

[Deleted member 3267607]

First of all, good amount of content for a first release. If the quantity will remain the same in every update we're looking to a large amount of work every time, I hope you'll keep this pace.
There are some things that I want to point out, on top of my mind:

1) The gym page must be rewritten, it's the same as the library page, easy fix;
2) The Influence mechanic needs a lot of work, It increases but the level stays the same;
3) It's clever to point out when a certain character is in a specific place, but you need to be there to see it. A map, or a list of the characters and their current location in the left bar would be better, so you won't need to remember everyone' schedule;
4) You can't talk to Mia (Rose Monroe, the neighbor) or advance her story, so it's pointless to point out that she's home. You can only help her with chores at this stage of development. At least write something, like a "drink a tea with her" situation or something;
5) The pics and videos need a better layout. Much better.

Keep up the good work! And, btw, your username makes my blood boil.

Hey there and thanks for the message. I do intend to add much more content to the game.

1) Thanks for telling me about this, It seems I just accidently pasted the wrong text here.
2) Where you able to get the influence level 2? After some feedback its clear to me that the requirements on how to actually process with the influence isnt clear enough and something I tend to fix immediately.
3) Having a different schedule for every character is something I am working on, and I will most likely implement your suggestion of having the characters location in the sidebar soon, thanks for the idea btw.
4) Right now you cannot talk to her that is correct, her story ends after influencing her 5/5 times, which can be seen in the relationship screen. I am going to add more content not just for her but for every other character.
5) I am aware that the format of videos is a bit off, do you have any suggests on how I can make things look better?

Also why does my username make your blood boil? Thanks again for the message.

 

[Deleted member 3267607]

So i missing someone/something...
I influenced Mom(2/5),Mia(1/5),Ava(2/5),Mrs.Veronica(2/5)...I see in the in the relationships panel a choice for Jack(101/100 friendship),Belle(found the arm contest but in futur version the game say) & Zoé(found in the store but power too weak the game say) but never found the choice of influenced them....

Hey, so you've definitely influenced enough times, have you read all the books in your room? Right now the only characters who you can influence in the game are: Mom, Mia, Ava, and Mrs Veronica.

Maybe the broken event in the cafeteria? View attachment 1345007

Is this happening in freeroam or in the prologue? The cafe is probably the most neglected area of the game in this version I do admit.

Hey there, have you tried clicking the back button? And which job were you stuck in? A few others are getting the same error.

 

[Deleted member 3267607]

somehow my game broke after i finished reading the last book. perma stuck on monday and it says I can't sleep.

Hey there, I'd really like to know more about what's going on. Are you stuck in one passage/screen, is the game stuck in a specific time like midday/night?

 

[Deleted member 3267607]

Yeah, that never happened for me. So far I've finished all the books and influenced Mom, Mrs Veronica and Ava twice each. No level up or anything.

That certainly shouldn't be happening, I've heard others are also encountering similar bugs so I'll see what I can do. When you go to sleep at night does it work normally and just go to the next day in the morning?

 

[shenzy]

It's more like after I read the 5th book, it put me to early morning and while the time passes if I do something like in the park or whatever, no NPC's ever show up anywhere. And if I make it go past midnight it will put me back on early morning, but the day will be the same as before. You can look at my save if it helps

Same thing for me and yes i just go to the next day normally.
I also had the "Monday stuck bug" with my first run but i restart and just read the book before influenced anyone for the second run and no "Monday stuck bug" anymore (but no level 2 event)

I had a similar problem. If I read the book at Late Night, I would get stuck in Early Morning.
