It seems the stress is not reduced as intended after completing the nemesis quest. (Build 12)

Correct, it reduces the stress level but then this reduction gets ignored next time stress is calculated.
I have fixed this for the next build.

I found lots of error like this below when i were in the local contacts and nearly can't find any picture of those companies.

Error: <<set>>: bad evaluation: State.temporary.tempCompany.replaceAll is not a function
<<set _tempCompany = $Judges[_tempJudge].company, _tempCompany = _tempCompany.replaceAll(" ","")>>

The likely reason is the replaceAll command does not work on your browser version, try another browser.

So I was meaning to add relationship events for 30 or so girls and only provide one ore two new ones, but somehow it ended up the other way around.

Other than the new girls, you will notice significant changes to the auditions screen. The receptionists personality will affect what percs you get for the audition.

You can only download Build 12 from

for now. It's 600mb significantly bigger than build 11 due to the new models added.

Date: 14 June 2022

• New - 31 new models have been added. Total 149 by default
• New - New tags have been created for the RelationshipData.lsm file allowing for more flexible text types to be displayed.
• New - Author tag has been created for the RelationshipData.lsm file allowing a creator to identify their own events.
• Change - Model auditions checkbox is now selected by default.
• Change - Auditions for each girl now cost money (default 500) and have to be individually clicked to reveal the model.
• Change - Receptionist personalities will alter the cost for auditions and how many girls can be auditioned. Certain personalities will also allow you to preview model stats.

I will see if I can create an instructional pdf for the events as there is no example in the existing relationshipData file for how to use the "author" tag. but essentially:

"RelationshipEvents":{
"AleciaFox1" : {
    relationship : 10,
    flag : "AleciaFox",
    author : "Your Name",   <- add this to your event
    pgender : "male",
    eventcontent : [

Hey obsessionau, thank you for the update!
Nice game btw... enjoyed the most of it so far, even there's so much potential for a lot of improvements:

- the number of contract offers per week should increase in dependence to the reputation
(e.g. 1-5 reputation = 1 contract / week; <5 reputation = 2 contracts / week; <10 reputation = 3 contracts / week; etc...)
This would significantly decrease the grind while fasten the pace of acceptance to the girls more revealing shoots.
Particularly when having many models & being self-employed, only one contract/week is much too less and makes the game mechanics tedious!
Plus it's the logical consequence: the more "famous" and reputated in business you'll become, the more contract options you'll get.

- in relation to the reputation and the models popularity (~fame) it would be so great to negotiate and/or refuse "bad" or
"poorly" paid contract offers. That feature could also affect the relationship towards the models positively (if a contract satisfies the model)
or negatively (if the contract does not meet the models "status")?!

- high confidence of a model (maybe paired with an open or extraverted personality) should effect the shoots,
the strongly confident/open/extraverted could give you more lewd/daring poses (up to widespreads, masturbation, close-ups etc. perhaps shown in an additional shooting category above the NUDE category ... or as some bonus pics in the NUDE category?!)

- more (lewd & non-lewd) [side]events, happening in different stages of relationship - not only when "smitten"
and special concubine events (yeah, you're already determined to add some - just continue and extend, maybe with the help of your
supportive modders Plonk & Mercedes .... ?!)

- better accessible & more complete stats for the models in the overview list (for example there's no status shown about the relationships, so you always have to click yourself through each of the models subsites)
... and please list all the required stats in the model competition selection list (as "tatoos" are always missing there)

- last but not least, I would strongly vote for some short movie/ gif scenes (maybe for the "special concubine events")
as well. These can, but not necessarily must be hardcore p*rn, cause most of your models are softcore actresses.


I really hope, you'll consider some (or all) of my suggestions in one of the next builds, cause these would definitely improve your already decent game a lot in my opinion.
But even you don't think these suggestion could be constructive (or implementable), thanks again for your hard work and effort to share this one with us !

My aim for this game is to be about smart play and not simply growing and becoming OP. You will want to focus on different things during the game depending on your deception choice and game stage as the punishment otherwise is grind. Currently you can get a new contract every 2, 3 or 5 shoots. If you want more contracts and your models to progress faster, stay doing full time work. If you want less stress and to make more money become self employed.

I am thinking about adding a 6 month contract for the winner of the model competitions, and also having assistants with a particular personality give you a % chance for a second contract.

Note: Contracts have model feature requirements which are currently evenly distributed - So there is just as much a demand for models with grey eyes as there is for models with brown eyes. However there are 69 models who have brown eyes and only 5 who have grey. As such models with grey eyes, extra long hair, or models with red hair can be seen as being special as they will reduce non-fulfillable contracts.

- in relation to the reputation and the models popularity (~fame) it would be so great to negotiate and/or refuse "bad" or
"poorly" paid contract offers. That feature could also affect the relationship towards the models positively (if a contract satisfies the model)
or negatively (if the contract does not meet the models "status")?!

This might add a bit too much micro-management to the game trying to avoid this. A alternative is that the contracts are increased massively and get bonus's award if you match the models feature, comp winner or is popular. You then get a % commision based on the models personality and experience. This way you won't have to track anything it would be displayed but you will have to decide, do I want to give the contract to Model X who needs more contracts or to Model Y who will give me more money.

- high confidence of a model (maybe paired with an open or extraverted personality) should effect the shoots,
the strongly confident/open/extraverted could give you more lewd/daring poses (up to widespreads, masturbation, close-ups etc. perhaps shown in an additional shooting category above the NUDE category ... or as some bonus pics in the NUDE category?!)

I did intend models with open or extroverted personalities to have an easier time doing these shoots, I'm not sure if I have coded anything in yet, but if I do it will likely affect the stability card chance. So Introverted models would have a higher chance of a stability event, and extroverted models would not get affected as much.

I did look at the potential of adding a 5th shoot which has a mix of fingering/toying/closeups. But a third of the models would not be able to feature this set.

- more (lewd & non-lewd) [side]events, happening in different stages of relationship - not only when "smitten"
and special concubine events (yeah, you're already determined to add some - just continue and extend, maybe with the help of your
supportive modders Plonk & Mercedes .... ?!)

Creating an event for a model is very very very very time consuming with the chances of a player getting that model in their game low. As such working on these is not a high priority for me as I can have a bigger impact working on tweaking other components. I am working on improving the optimisation of the event system and making it easier to add and remove mods.

Plonker has added some nice looking girls and events which I need to optimise the game more as it can run like a boat in it's current state.

- better accessible & more complete stats for the models in the overview list (for example there's no status shown about the relationships, so you always have to click yourself through each of the models subsites)
... and please list all the required stats in the model competition selection list (as "tatoos" are always missing there)

Will look at this for sure!

- last but not least, I would strongly vote for some short movie/ gif scenes (maybe for the "special concubine events")
as well. These can, but not necessarily must be hardcore p*rn, cause most of your models are softcore actresses.

Concubine was never intended to be a thing (just a feature to cull models), I agree it does feel lackluster and not what a player might hope for. At the bare minimum I would like concubine it to have more of an impact (perhaps a chance for a generic blowjob scene and less stress for the week).

I really hope, you'll consider some (or all) of my suggestions in one of the next builds, cause these would definitely improve your already decent game a lot in my opinion.
But even you don't think these suggestion could be constructive (or implementable), thanks again for your hard work and effort to share this one with us !

I do take on all feedback but being free ?fan fiction?, I tend to work on what I feel like as opposed to what should be worked on.

Thank you for the feedback!!

 

[Plonk]

- more (lewd & non-lewd) [side]events, happening in different stages of relationship - not only when "smitten"

I currently have this set out for my modded stuff. Depending on the content available for that model, I try to add multiple events that get more saucy as you progress with that model (i.e from tame with special photo shoots with some stripping/nude training or yoga to hardcore/anal/bondage). Currently this can start as early as "friend" but something I can consider is having earlier events that are much more tame. Maybe you ask her to go for dinner/coffee, or out for a walk... etc. Maybe she could give a slight hint she likes you. (maybe an innocent nip slip or "accidental" upskirt).

However from a modders point of view, mirroring what obsessionau as said, events are very time consuming, especially if you start from scratch. For the events I've made so far I've started to use "templates" that I've made with slight changes depending on the context. While this has saved some time making events, it still takes a ton of time. Due to the lag the events cause currently too I've opted to hold off of making anymore events until it's sorted (I know obsessionau is already working on this so all good).

When you combine the main game with my modpack you have just shy of 250 models to choose from and this will only get bigger as the dev, I and other future modders add more. The likelyhood of you getting a model with an event (let alone multieple events) will get slimmer.

Already observed and I am in the process of modifying the way these mods work. As I have added a tonne of girls myself I have split them into two more manageable groups a core and extended group where the extended group needs to be manually loaded in each game.




There will be a core version and extended version, if you download the extended version of the game clicking the load button will load the extra models into your game.



To add another custom lsm just type the LSM filename into the textbox





There is a bit more that needs to be done before this is ready:

• Adding the relationship and stability events into this
• Allowing the player to remove a mod once loaded in
• Storing the list for next time (so you don't have to type the filenames again)
• Only loading relationship events for the models the player currently has.
• Display a message if it can't find the file.

Note: I would also like to eventually get it to the point that you can "unload" the core lsm file. As long as you have more than 60 models loaded you could create a lsm file that only features asian or african/american models.

 

[obsessionau]

BUILD 13

• New - 11 new models have been added. Total 70 in core and 90 in extended.
• Fix - Stress reduction once you have completed the antagonist now works.
• Change - Complete rehaul of how the lsm mod files work. Different LSM files are now independent of each other.
• Change - General Optimisation to make the screens load faster - particularly with mods.

There are probably a few other changes to the ones listed above but I can't remember. The big one being the complete rehaul of the lsm files. There are still some improvements I can make such as using the load dialog box to open the load the lsm file but I couldn't figure it out at the time.

I have also optimised the game so pages load faster, this improvement is very noticable with Plonkers events loaded.

For now I will upload the game with all 160 models, as it is now above 700mb I will try to make just the core game available as well which will be around 300-400mb and contain the original 70 models.


To get all 160 models you will need to click the "Load" button to load the extended data when starting a new game.

Installing mods is pretty easy...

Download the mod and extract the file in the base directory.


Start the game and when prompted type the name of the mod, in this case "Plonkers"



If all went well it should get added, if nothing happens check the "data" folder to ensure the mod's lsm file is there and that you are spelling it correctly.

When you go to the next screen the game will save this info so you don't have to add them each time. By default they will not be loaded so you will have to click on the "Load" button to load them in.

excellent

 

[raventai]

Well I probably should keep my mouth shut for now but I must say I am pretty enthusiast seeing the efforts of the dev and the dedication of this modder community (Plonkers you are a prince !). Of course I will indulge in my bad porn habits and try to inject my own deviant pack at some stage. Just a general question, the game being real porn, would it be acceptable to propose virtual porn stars with fake biographies and custom events in the rather extreme range of the porn spectrum ? (I have many ready to fire and the image resolution is a breeze) Etiquette is a thing for me...

 

[hotmike]

Questions about the events with models:
- Will they only be fired once?
- Any manual (or should I reverse engineer Plonkers file)?
- Any way to add events to already existing models, or will that cause a name clash? (eg will the model object inherit events?)

Technically events will only be fired once, however there is currently a bug if the event is linked to multiple models where it can get fired again by the same model when the event is loaded in again for the second model.

Events can be created for existing models yes. Below is an example mod file to add 2 events for Elsa Jean. These events will fire when your relationship gets to 9 and you are a male character. The second event will fire the following shoot with Elsa.

/data/HotMike.lsm

window.getLSMData = function () { return {
"ModDescription":"Event's by hotmike fore the base game.",

"RelationshipData":{
"HotM_ElsaJean1" : {
    relationship : 9,
    flag : "ElsaJean",
    pgender : "male",
    eventcontent : [
        ["image", "ElsaJean/event/1.webp"],
        ["$ModelSelected", "Want to go out on a date sometime?"],
        ["slug", "You laugh."],
        ["player", "What, your serious... Yeah sure how about after our next shoot?"]]
        ["image", "ElsaJean/event/2.webp"],
},
"HotM_ElsaJean2" : {
    relationship : 9,
    flag : "ElsaJean",
    pgender : "male",
    eventcontent : [
        ["$ModelSelected", "Well you ready?"],
        ["image", "ElsaJean/event/3.webp"],
        ["player", "Thought you'd never ask!"]]
        ["image", "ElsaJean/event/4.webp"],
        ["aside", "Holy shit she's hot in that!"]]
        ["image", "ElsaJean/event/5.webp"],
}
}}};

I would then need to include 5 pictures in a images/ElsaJean/event/ folder.
Only other thing to note here is that a "slug" is a narator comment, where "aside" is a thought by the protagonist.

I am not sure what do you mean by "virtual" porn stars?
I guess you could create an events where you do late night porn shoots for the models if that is what you mean? You wouldn't get paid though.

 

[raventai]

Sorry if I was not clear. I was just asking for the acceptabilty of using 3d renders of Daz Studio/ Rendo (or other) characters instead of internet real shoot pics, true virtual movie/porn stars (I have a bunch of them for various RPG projects and Renpy VN), there will not be technical obstacles, just ethical !)

So the relationship level is exactly 9, (== 9), not at least 9 (>= 9)?
This is good for events in a certain order, but for general ones, that you would like to play more often and thus enhance the user experience, it would require something like a minimal level. Maybe some label 'random_event' to mark random events?

If the events are only fired once, it is a relatively a lot of work to add them for such a small chance to get shown.

 

[xaxa9551]

Quick suggestion/request:

1/ Add no. of completed contracts to "contracts selection" menu wold be greatly appreciated (hackintosh version screenshot).


2/ Would it be possible to "pull out" difficulty settings to game start?
Stuff like no. of contracts to unlock topless/nude shoots, cash multipliers, stress reduction values etc. would be great for people that do not have time (or just don't feel like) to grind 200+ characters (especially after loading all Core, Extended & Plonkers)

3/ Any way for concubines to have a way how to continue unlocking gallery? Or at least view it? It drives me nuts to fully unlock character & then not being able to see gallery anymore because I provided free housing for somebody.

Also, nice project!

There is nothing stopping somebody writing over the ModelsCore.lsm file and having ALL the models as 3D rendered girls/furries whatever you want.

It is "at least 9". Get 2 relationship cards in a single shoot and your relationship will go up by 2 so you can't have it as ==.

Random events in general are really hard to control as you need to take into consideration it could fire on the models first shoot or after a long time or that it could fire at the start of the game or after a few hours of play time. You would need some sort of intelligence like in Rimworld, and even then the events feel a bit repetitive and scripted.

I would like one day to have each deception path have more of a story line to it. This mixed with the relationship break events and girl specific events and each game will take on it's own personality. But I haven't made any real progress into this.
