1. If you look at the games main thread (post 60 I think on page 3) I give a number of ways to reduce stress, however that is it.
Once you have completed the model's set there is no point having her so you will need to get rid of her. At the moment this can only be done through breaking her (have her drink, take drugs, get depressed) until she leaves or by concubining her. However being a sugardaddy is costly.

I will need to find a nice way to "finish off" each model so that she leave's your services on a good note. This will likely be through helping her complete her own career goals - This could be doing a contract with Dolce and Banana.

2. If you click on the gold trophy on the Left hand side it will show you what models you have fully completed across multiple games as well as which deceptions you have completed. I will likely improve this later on as it doesn't have much info.

I guess to follow up on this, do you have any plans on adding other themed collections other then clothed/lingerie/topless/nude? (off the top of my head I can think of cosplay themed shoots, upskirt/bottomless shoots, masturbation etc....)

The issue I can see with this is that not all models will do "cosplay" or "masturbation" shoots which leads another question, could these be set on a model by model basis? I know how difficult this could be after folowing the development for APL but more curious more than anything.
It is something I did think about, but decided not to implement as there are trade-offs that need to be made to accommodate it.

For example there are different odds of different types of shoots - Normal shoots have a 1% chance of stability decrease but 12% chance to become more popular vs nude shoots which have a 12% chance of a stability decrease but a 28% chance of becoming more popular.


Will this mean that once you've converted everything over to webp modded stuff will also have to be webp, or would the game still support jpg too?
The images for shoots would be webp. The Tichau File Converter that Ninoss mentioned converted all 2000 images in less than a minute so wasn't a big issue for me to convert mine. This will only apply to shoot images, not events.


Speaking of which, what is the max relationship value? Once I have that established I eventually would like to have an event that would trigger at most/every releation level that gets more saucy as it progresses.
0 - 1 Acquaintance
2 - 5 Colleague
6 - Mentor
7-9 Friend
10-11 Close Friend
12-13 Romantic interest
14> Smitten

I am going to add some events in the next release, but these will not be at EVERY level only at key points such as becoming a close friend, or when they can be concubined ie smitten.

By default there is a 8% chance to get a relationship increase on a card. With 3 cards that means there is a 22% chance that in a shoot you will get at least 1 relationship increase.

When you get the lounge you can increase this by 10% to 18% but this will cost $2500 per week to maintain which would bring it up to around 45% chance.

Other ways to increase the relationship is helping the model recover during events which I have some that increase it by 3. But this is a push your luck element as to what event you get.

The reason why I say this is I don't want events constatly happening, just every now and again to break up the gameplay and feel like things are progressing with that model. I recently increased it from 6 to 14 levels. I think the 14 should allow for enough flexibility and can't see this changing.

Yep, understandable. Thanks for clearing this up.

My current compressor/converter doesn't support webp (hence why I was curious). I'll give this converter a try. (y)

Got it, I'll probably follow a similar suit with having events at relationship milestones.

Yeah, I agree they should be a rare occurance. Thanks for answering again (y)

Great game, so I take the time to report bugs:

* When you click "Customize" and then "About" there is no way to get out. "Back to Studio" from "About" brings you to "Customise" and "Back" from "Customise" brings you to "About". The "Minigame" is the only way I know to get out without reloading.
* Rounding: 1653346046835.png
* The Minigame costs a lot of money which is stated nowhere.
* The choices for "money" in the stability events state e.g. "money 300 1500" instead of "money decrease 1500"

Suggestions:
* Show details about the girl(s) when recruiting.
* Allow returning to the competition / job screen after checking the judges / girls (leaving cancels the competition or job at the moment)

What is the point of concubine when I can't do anything with her? This game is really missing some hardcore gifs or sex scenes videos :(

Hi obsessionau , nice collector game :)(y)

I'd say that images 0105, 0204, 0302, 0305, 0404 and 0405 from Sophia Elfya ( ) belong to another model - Lia Kate ( ).

I was messing around and made a hotfix with some images of Sophia (in both current 533x800 jpg and upcoming 600x900 webp formats) and also a new model definition and images for Lia Kate, for a good measure.

Files are here for anyone who might want them. :sneaky:

You may want to have the Trophy screen have clickable Faces where you can see the Picture sets you've collected.

You could also do that with the Concubine screen.
Even if you don't want hardcore pictures (which will not be possible with some models, if you are not limiting yourself to porn actresses), you can still have a few special pictures that are concubine only. These could be hardcore in some cases, or some other neat pictures that don't fit in the normal sets.

Dani Volkova & Sybil A are the same model I believe (Can't find anything on Dani Volkova other than some random social sites). Doesn't seem intentional but if it is ignore this.

I have been waiting for this to happen!! haha. Yes they are the same model, I better fix that!

Oh yes, missed that! Thanks! Well Lia can be the replacement for Dani Volkova haha :)

Can you use the 10c update. it fixes the first 2 problems here.

* The Minigame costs a lot of money which is stated nowhere.
Will fix this hopefully this weekend. It will tell you what you are missing when you don't meet the requirements but yes it should let you know with the button. I think I have it doing this when you are getting the pills tested, not sure why I didn't put it in for the dinners.


* The choices for "money" in the stability events state e.g. "money 300 1500" instead of "money decrease 1500"
This is slack programming on my part to say it will cost an amount between these two values. I had it to add a push your luck element, but I think I will just remove it and have fixed prices.


Suggestions:
* Show details about the girl(s) when recruiting.
* Allow returning to the competition / job screen after checking the judges / girls (leaving cancels the competition or job at the moment)
Both of these are things I would like to get to at some point! I think others have mentioned these as well.

At the moment it is only required for the "women" deception. It can also assist in the "money" deception by getting your stress under 10% to finish that deception.

Other than that there is currently nothing visually beneficial for the player. I do have some scenes for what you are suggesting but I can't confirm when this will be in or to what extent. The main character can be male or female, and the models can be different skin colours so having something that can be applied to 100+ models needs to be carefully thought out and implemented.

Crazy on my Discord found a couple of wrong images on a few models.

Sonya Blaze :- 0108 is Avery Cristy.
Vanna Bardot :- images 0106, 0107, 0108, 0302, 0305, 0307, 0308, 0404, 0405, 0406, 0407 and 0408 are all Maya Kendrick.

Ok I'll forgive myself with Sonya Blaze... it gives me a chance to change 0308 as the clock behind her head always annoyed me.

But to have 12 wrong for Vanna Bardot ... that is shocking!!

Both have been fixed, also improved some of Sonya's to 600x900. Will be in next update

I am posting this latest update just in this thread as it while a lot has changed, for the player you will notice very little.
This update is mostly useful for those looking to add their own content and allows each model to have their own mini-story. Currently only Alecia and Sapphira have events so most players will likely not see much different.
  • Change - Converted most images to webp format. Quality of photos has improved from 84% to 95% with filesize of the photo reducing by 20%.
  • Fix/Change - Extensive changes to events in the relationshipData.lsm file. This file has now been renamed to be enabled by default.
  • New - Alecia and Sapphira events have been added.
I am not sure how well the game will cope with a big relationshipData.lsm file as it checks the events after each photoshoot so a big file might experience a 0.1 - 0.2 extra delay before going back to the main studio. I can improve this, which I will likely do in a future update.

I have added an "aside" ID for custom event passage text that is not first person.

Still to be added:
  • A "soliloquy" ID which will be similar to the aside but specifically for thoughts.
  • A "author" ID, where you can put your name and it will display it at the top right of the event.
  • Relationship values greater than 14 will require the girl to be concubined as well to trigger.

Events can be linked to multiple girls, but they will only fire once.

If you ever edit the RelationshipData.lsm file and get a script error when you begin a new game you have made a mistake somewhere in the file, possibly missing a , or something at the end of a line.

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:

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