PS. I accidently posted this is 'Venus Club' as I had that on my watchlist too and noted bugs and errors. I have no idea and maybe doubt there is any correlation between this port? or recode? between that case or this. But one thing is certain, the TUCS is bugged. So I am posting this here, as intended, but [putting in parantheses still valid but dual comments] regarding other severe bugs reported on that game. All the comments here + version number reported for DEVELOPER if they are here.
Just test played the game the other day. Multiple very bad game-breaking bugs. One quick example. I started new game (first option 'about the money' with 20k starting) upgraded the facility, hired 6 girls asap with 'tell about' 1x + 'compliment' 1x + 'flirt' 1x to hire. No problem.
Trained em up (as I thought common sense, however unclear to a degree, played around, looked at if stats were rising etc). Played through several days. Barely any would take stage at all, regardless of training, gifts assignment. In real life every 15 minutes a girl MUST take stage. It is completely un-sim like to have the stage empty regardless of 5 girls assigned to it and paid $300-350 (and whose stats are all good: mood, energy, supposed affirmation on training dialogue), etc.
Fail. So I thought my first time playing I overshot and should start smaller and train up well... check this fatal gamebreak right away day 1:
Game 2: Understanding the game better (behind the mis-labelled, or poorly labelled upgrade scheme) I bought stage 2, bath+vip room, bar+booze. Checked ok. Headed back to the cocktail lounge to hire 1-2 girls with remaining funds. This time no matter the compliments, flirting or any interaction ,could I hire any ofrom a pool of like 10-12 from cocktail to gym etc - grayed out 'hire/offer job' button.
Soon it was time 00:00. All other city locations grayed out of course - either closed, or starting brand new game day 1, of course not eligibile to access them yet.
So I go back to my club. There are zero options except for * currently * fast-forward (FF) time. OK. Idea, I have to obviously FF to new day and try to hire some girls again. FF works until 4:00 (am) then FF-button disappeared. Stuck cannot do anything, move forward in time, visit any city locations or partake in any actions whatsoever in my club. FATAL BREAK. BAD CODING.
I also must point out that the FF day/calendar button at any moment in time does not work. It is unclickable. There is nothing wrong per say with my files, permissions, missing assets etc.
The version # is 'Revision 1.0.1.
There are also typos like alcol, should be alcohol. I thought at first this must be a space-saving element but absolutely not being 2 mere letters in contenxt of gui/space is inconsequential.
Common sense in creating an application or game is thorough testing. Given this game has been out for 2 years? This is extremely poor.
Note: This may have been this forum thread or the one for Venus, not sure but regardless since I only have interest in playing this one, not the Unity...
[I did also read over some past BUGS reported on the forum, including this last one + noticed poll. So I decided to give you this BUG REPORT.]
[It is more than apparent, there are major problems with the coding here and this port/version or whatever is bug-ridden. Too bad.]
I might mess around more with it, purely understanding that the game will 100% break or run into major fault and that I am sandboxing it 100%.
I hope you fix. But to be perfectly honest? After 2 years, incompetence. You might want to accept this truth and seriously ask for help. It is obvious there are some skilled people who will be able to correct what appears to me in its current state to be a rather simple coded game. IMO from first playtest beyond broken gui elements, and logical conditional areas, elements like training, and girls actually fulfilling their job tasks (given they have good mood, motivation etc of course as was already set as new employee in my first week hire case).
There is a game called Master of Raana by Grimdark. I have not played it for a year due to time but that is an example that perhaps relates to this game scenario. That game gets a GRADE A, right away after playtesting. I was impressed. My words might be a hard truth for you to take, but TUCS getrs a D-. It is not a proper working game but a sandobx sketch with many broken elements including the sim/rpg stats.
Honestly, I hope you fix it. Lastly, you state that this game is 'free' and also pause (too long for 3 seconds) on that annoying splash screen. Tip have option to disable it or at least bypass with a click!! Minor, but common sense). A free game has very little value if it is broken or subpar. The idea is good here, the modular girl pack aspect is great. The whole reason to play. But right away I can tell the stats, training, hiring, sim, working schedule elements all do not work right (are not coded properly or severe bugs preventing them from doing so), with everything completely random.
[Testing. If a girl disappears like one forum poster says, well that is eveidence of a major bug]. Clarification - I this was for the Venus Club game that this is partially coded apparently (ie. girlpack paths integration etc THAT MAY BE CAUSING BUGS or at least HELP DEV to fix TUCS)]
When I state these major differences between 2 simple short gametest sessions with odd behavior, irrational behavior and severe fatal gamebreak gui errors then that means you code is screwed and you need to DEBUG.
So it is apparent, especially after 2 years! That you need to STOP. Comb through each line of code, each variable, each function, each comment mark, semicolon, whatever and fix your game.
Good luck
Edit: I would advise for developer of TUCS to bring someone else on with coding talent, at least for help in debugging and coding logic. Two eyes are better than one :/ Four eyes (and reading glasses) + two brains are even better.
