Agreed. Man that was over the top.I don't know what protocol is here but post# 696 is uncalled for. He has a couple of points that may warrant further investigation but the overall condesending tone is way over the top.

I'll try from my win 10 system, this was on windows 11, so it could be something there.I honestly have no idea what could be the cause of it. I can test TUSC only on win 10, and never got such issue.
I've absolutely had issues with some games on Windows 11. A few so bad that I've stopped playing them entirely, even though I loved them. But none with this one really.I'll try from my win 10 system, this was on windows 11, so it could be something there.
Isn't that a remarkable start? Not you just posted to the wrong thread, but also missed like the 3rd line of the OP which states – and I quote myself – "quite inspired by Venus' Club". You really are a man of astonishing observation skills, aren't you?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.
1. Is TUSC – aka The Ultimate Stripper Club – not TUCS. Again, remarkable observation skills of you right?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.
[..several lines of non-sense..]
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.
Thank you mate, gonna fix this. You know I came from a country where both words are correct; but I gonna fix this if it pisses you off so badThere 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.
1. You don't know me, any of my work, anything from my career, jeez you don't even tag me and write "THE DEVELOPER": what puts you in the position to call incompetence over me, exactly?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).
Yeah, you know, the whole community of players which enjoyed the game in the last 2 years are just dumb like me right?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.
[...]
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.
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.
Quite sure you need that more than me, man.Good luck
Oh man, if you only knew what *constructive criticism* actually is.Gee I wonder, maybe helping the dev fix a broken game with severe coding issues. No help from you. In fact your comment is stupid, unproductive and insultory. Called trolling.
Goal, accomplish: Help fix the game, if that is not apparent enough in provide honest feedback and bug report. A genuine not a fake meaningless by davemanster the troll.
Maybe the problem here are the people to cowardly or ignorant to speak up and help provide feedback such as starting a game and having immediate fatal GUI errors. DUH.
A forum is for such things as giving feedback and bug reports as the highest priority function, not worthless dialogue or attacks on people like davemanster did. Very poor form. Mine is called 'constructive criticism, feedback on experience and actual bug reporting.
Ha. If that was true you would have already produced packs for VC and TUSC in the last years. I don't buy it, sorry.A game people (like myself) might be interested in producing girlpacks
Please move the fire button further away from the back button, or add a confirmation that you are about to fire a girl. I have a muscle disorder and I always accidentally fire half of my staff.
When I updated to 11 I had some issues, but updating my video card solved them and other issues that have nothing to do with it such as with Visual Studio Code and other things.I'll try from my win 10 system, this was on windows 11, so it could be something there.
They use the same girlpack format (even with the differences they are 100% cross compatible) and grand idea of running a strip club/brothel, otherwise different games.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?
There are limited slots per day, and this is determined by your stage rating. The more stage, the more slots for dancing. As well, the bar has tension with stage assignments, because girls will go where the money is.Barely any would take stage at all, regardless of training, gifts assignment. In real life every 15 minutes a girl MUST take stage.
To hire from the gym or spa, you need to have a gym or spa respectively.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.
Yeah. If it bothers you you can change it for yourself.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.
I mean, with respect to VC, barring the recently discovered +1 error in scramble mode, 'girls disappear' is really 'didn't read the one trait which does that.'[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.]
Hi. Venus Club Happy Hour dev right here.[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)]
It still tells me only one girlpack is loaded and even in game i cant find anyone besides that one girlAfter you open the one, the game will find the rest of them. And after that it will generally find your packs on subsequent loads. I think there was one time I had to load a pack again.
You should. I've told you how to solve your gameplay problems. For example, being unable to advance the day--because you couldn't find the button to do so. Showing you how, using an image, and arrows.Ignoring and did not read psycho posts..
You don't have the money to hire girls, so the girls won't work. If you have no one to work you can't open your club doors. This is intentional design: You can't open with no employees.I know exactly why - 100% broken variable, conditional logic ERROR when $ amount/holding < a certain amount.
Perhaps the reason your advice is not taken seriously is you're suggesting that a missing semi-colon could be the problem. Missing this in C# code (for Venus' Club and Unity) means it won't build. At all.Simple solution. Code audit. Probably a missing semi-colon, could be THAT simple
The chances of specific girlpacks being unable to work because of something inside the girlpacks is slim to none for either game. Both games are designed where its check is based on if there are folders that exist and have valid videos in them, with VC having the option set by default of using default videos for certain acts. Girlpacks are literally just folders of videos with a JSON containing their name and optionally VC data, and an optional YML for TUSC.Instead I will point out to one reason instead game will break and that is due to girlpacks that will load and register but not display any error and allow game to proceed (and inevitably break).
Or it's not and it's something else entirely. I notice the name of the girlpack remains illusive. If you think a missing path is in play, what paths are missing in the directory tree? If those trees related to TUSC-only stuff like gym, bath, or spa, did you check a VC-only pack (there's hundreds, missing TUSC's data.yml, and TUSC-specific directories, so testing this should be easy) to see if those also break?This means that any path, missing/expected path or file will 100% cause fatal game breaking issue.
We're not Nintendo, and we do not have the time in our lives for either VC or TUSC to create or run a 'debugger' to check for 'errors in a girlpack' when you can't even tell us the name of the girlpack that's causing problems. Further, in the rare case where a specific girlpack is problematic, the community tends to notice very quickly and get the feedback on how to fix it to the creator of the girlpack. If a specific girlpack were the issue, that's gotta go back to the creator; codec issues in VC for example literally cannot be resolved by myself.The best solution and to 'debug' is to literally check and run a TUSC debugger
Then you're not helping. And in your 'reports' you miss certain details that actually could help--this is how we know you don't code.I discovered more game-break bugs, but will not go into detail.
Are they not showing up in the gym to be interacted with and hired?Is gym content broken? I have packs with them hat work on the older version of the game but aren't showing up in the latest version
Hiring prices and stats do not come from VC. The only stat that carries over is popularity, kind of.My only issue is that the hiring prices and stats are from Venus Club girlpacks, which has slightly different hiring mechanics, so therefore the wage doesn't match what they are able to do.
- fix locations opening time checks on past midnight
- fix an error in city spa preventing massage action to work
- fix a regression bug in club gym preventing training action to work
- enhance girlpacks loader (prevent errors on weird characters in file names)
- fix a regression bug preventing correct day scheduling for club girls
- fix a regression bug causing night club processor to crash in some edge cases
- add confirmation step on fire button
- review city scheduler weights
- allow to customise soundtracks also for city locations
- excluded additional hiring policies in city locations (due to the amount of negative feedbacks): now the game checks only for rooms
You had a choice of difficulty in older versions of the game.- the fact the game won't prevent you to end up in bankruptcy is a design decision: it might be a good decision or a bad one, but I can't see any valid reason to avoid the player to go game over. TUSC is first of all a management game focused on money: if you don't take care of expenses, salaries and incomes, then probably is just not your game.
There is a Russian proverb: if you hurry, you will make people laugh.- the fact game dynamics are not super-polished in 1.0.x, and thus there might be an unbalanced amount of contents/time to be spent in girls relations/trainings compared to managing the club is due to the fact 1.0 added an entire new gameplay to the existing one, and if you check my post for the release I warned everyone about it. I still think it makes sense to push it out to players even if not perfect rather than spending 6 months more on polishing and refining. I'm totally up for feedbacks and suggestions on game mechanics, but please do it in a well-written form, describing your ideas in detail. I can't really do anything if you limit yourself with something like "this game mechanic sucks".
Nevermind, I had copied in the examplegirl to the girlpack folder. Removing that I managed to meet and hire the first one. Now to download more packsTwo girlpacks loaded, built room, bar, stage...where the hell do you find the girls to hire them? And I can't seem to buy a drink at the bar or disco.
This game needs a guide for getting to the point of opening the club at least once. Right now it's a confusing mess.
No in my own gym. In the older game they would say 'let me reward you'Are they not showing up in the gym to be interacted with and hired?
Hiring prices and stats do not come from VC. The only stat that carries over is popularity, kind of.
Base hiring price is based solely on popularity. A girl that starts with 5 popularity has a base price of 200/day. They'll be more expensive at relationship 0, but can go down to 100 at relationship 100. A girl with 100 popularity will have a base price of 2500/day, down to as low as 1250.
You can set your girl up to be a 100000 moneyCost/100 reputationCost/100 influenceCost/100 connectionCost 100 stat wonder ultimate end-game girl, and if the popularity is 0, it'll start with 5 popularity and 200/day base price in TUSC.
Any other stats the girl has is determined by an optional data.yml file or are procedurally generated. If you're having a problem with a girl's stats though, you can always copy the data.yml from a girlpack that is TUSC-compliant into the old girlpack, change the data inside to suit your needs.
