RPGM - Thot Life [Alpha Build 9] [AndreaTheNord]

Alright, so this game has definitely more potential and for now I love what it is!
The story is dumb but thats kinda the point and its purposely made that way,the protagonist is really hot and serves as a really good fapping material , the other characters are great too.

However the animations although being really hot have an issue, they cant be skipped.

And you will want to skip them when the time comes as they get pretty repetitive if you do your jobs,which you pretty much have to.

With all that said I know there is much more to be done here and the developer is surely working on new jobs for the busty bimbo we play, which I cant wait to experience.

But Dev please fix the animation problem and you are golden!
Will give it 5 stars for good luck!

This is an interesting one. Have a lot of mixed feelings for it and here is why.

First, I have to give my congrats to the developer for daring to use something different than the usual DAZ and HS assets that most seasoned players here are probably sick of.

Then, for the people that are complaining about the absence of progression, plot, build up and character depth - you obviously haven't got the idea of the game, so let me break it for you. The game it's meant to be funny and not to be taken seriously, you can clearly see it in the dialogue and how the characters act and overreact in some situations. It's a jokeland. Also, you do have a choice, after chapter 19 or so, where the sandbox element is introduced, but before that it's pretty much linear yes. So for the snobs out there, squeeze one off to Andrea and chill out.
As for the mechanics, the things that annoy me the most are the one and the same scene with Freddy Kruger when I go to sleep and mostly the Hooties stuff, which is whole other topic in itself.

The Hooties mini-game is a pretty unique achievement from a game development standpoint, since it's very original to use RPGM's battle system to introduce non-battle mini-game. But it's also one of the most frustrating aspects of the whole game, which is why I cannot give full stars here. For a very short amount of time, the whole cafeteria/resturant becomes so cluttered it becomes difficult and annoying to play. The sex animations are unskippable and repeat themselves constantly, wish we had an option to turn them off if possible.

There is this error when you try to save the game, where an image resource is missing and you need to restart. Still haven't fixed, which is a huge downside. If the developer doesn't address this, there is a solution in the thread on how to fix it.

Now for the million dollar question that others asked as well - why use RPGM? I think the developer haven't worked with RenPy or maybe haven't touched much code (if at all) before and may be a bit intimidated. RPGM is a non-code engine (if you are not dealing with plugin creation) in which you can easily construct the logic and no Python for example, is needed.

Overall good game with great potential, I play it with one hand, so it definetly serves it's purpose. Also, judging by the threat I see that the developer is actively partipicating and taking notes with the respect to the feedback that he is receiving, which is awesome! Not a lot of devs here do that and I hope he also checks the reviews for constructive critisicm. Good luck with the project!

If you like big tits, big added, bimbos this is a good game. Like the concept so far and looks like a lot of work and thought went into it. Love the Alpha so far. Looking forward to more. Interesting way of measuring corruption

I love the main character and the renders/animations.

However the build up to the actual game is kind of weird. It has great potential to deliver story and character development but instead it feels rushed until the game "starts" after Uni graduation. At that point i lost my interest.

The mini game at the Hooters is not fun. I had a hard time finding other stuff to do instead. Maybe this game is not for me but i loved the premise. Hopefully the dev will focus on the "intro" as all those parts were interesting and would better characterise the MC mental changes if they were better/longer portrayed

What the actual fuck?!

This is a travesty and needs to be called out. There is abso-fuck-ly no reason to have this game run on RPGM. This is a linear, click to next slide, fuck show.

Doesn't matter the story, doesn't matter the models or the smut. This is bad engineering. It's like making a car out of jello. All components are there but when you get in you know it will be a shit show.

This is a bad bad game design/game approach and needs to be called out. Foe this reason 2 stars!

Fucking disgrace.

One of the best adult game that I tried: hot bitches, game doesn't take itself too seriously but it's not some terrible AI written thing either, great animations, decent gameplay loop, seems like a lot of content is planned as well

I genuinely don't understand how this game is rated so highly. I love the concept, but the actual gameplay is anti-fun. It's repetitive, grindy, unskippable, and buggy. The fact that the public version of the game breaks in a part of the story that you get forced into is pretty awful.

Played on Alpha 8.1

Giving this a 4 for now, but it absolutely could be a 5. It has some major flaws, but all in all this is a damn awesome game, the concept and scope are great. This has the potential to be my all time favorite "girl slutting it up" game. It's not exactly a HUGE category - sadly - but it's far from alone in the category either.

First off, the scenes are using Virt-A-Mate (I think that's how it's spelled) and it makes everything look really unique. Animations are awesome. But... they're unskippable. This is actually the single biggest flaw in the game, not being able to skip scenes I've seen before. This makes the restaurant minigame fun at first and super tedious and boring at the end stage. Getting through the game becomes boring before too long. This desperately needs correcting.

The characters are great. Andrea herself is a gem, and the side characters are pretty awesome, too. Casey, Julia, and Rosa are standouts for me so far. The writing is surprisingly smart! Yes, this is a dumb game - and I say that with all love and admiration - but it's clear that it's dumb on purpose and then the writing will hit you out of nowhere with some really subversive zingers that never fail to make me chuckle. There is clearly a very keen mind behind the dialogue.

The new Streetwalker story feels like a step backwards. In Alpha 7, you were thrown right into the orgy restaurant and the glory hole and the depraved church. But hooking is somehow super vanilla, the most hardcore thing we see is one MMF threesome, which is the same thing that gets us into that segment of the game in the first place. I don't know how to fix this one without starting it from scratch or rewriting the game to do that before the harder / more group oriented stuff. Also only VIP clients give EXP which is... not my favorite choice. Again, compared to the restaurant drowning you in it.

And that brings us to the other big problem with the game: Navigation. The new map is, y'know, all of New York. The thing is, there's no easy way to tell what's where. I would HIGHLY recommend adding icons to the various towns, or even a quick menu (residence(s), work, food, bathing, friends, etc). The new bedroom map streamlined a lot, so clearly the map and user experience are being worked on actively, but we seem to have lost the "yell out the window and get fucked for your trouble" scene which was dumb but cute.

This game has SO much potential. I'm really enjoying what's here. It's got a couple of big issues that it needs to resolve but once it does? I'm going to enjoy playing this one for a while.

This review is directed towards version [Alpha Build 8]. which is the latest version posted in the site.

To be completely honest, the only ever thing that I have enjoyed about this game are the unique sex scenes that I've managed to see before I had enough of it. If we leave aside the... how should I say this... not pleasing at all to hear grunts that happen when someone ejaculates as well as the fact that you can't skip scenes, they are actually pretty good.

Nice physics to them, different camera angles and unique poses.. but my goodness did the grunting take away from the scenes. It feels as if the guy was experiencing high degrees of pain when it's ejaculating instead of actual pleasure, it doesn't add anything to the scenes and it isn't really erotic

As for the rest, there were moments where I had a laugh or two and characters that were cute, but the game doesn't make any sense whatsoever. There isn't any semblance of plot or worldbuilding to this game, except for the first couple of bits in the introduction.. but even then, when did those characters meet, when did they become partners.. there's so many questions that this game raises which aren't answered at all, our character apparently trusting people out of nowhere for no reason whatsoever other than needing money to go pursue the next fuckbuddy

It just tells me absolutely nothing, whatsoever. It's sex scene after sex scene after sex scene, and that does not make, at least personally, for an enjoyable game at all.

There's also the fact that, the flow of the game is.. pretty bad, there's so many cuts in between what's happening.. Chapters are excessively short and doesn't really bring up anything new or important to the table

There are no choices that you can make besides taking a shower, going from place A to place B and the minigame with the drinking challenge.. which is basically clicking endlessly and hoping you win.

This game needs to be fleshed out a lot.

Add systems like for example you going to a bar and doing challenges and the more you drink the more tolerant you get and the more chances you have to win the minigame... exhibitionism build-up where the more she exposes herself, starting from not being an exhibitionist at all but maybe feeling an inkling to it from something she might see.. the more she feels more inclined to do it

Fleshing out her personality more, which characters are going to be important for the story and which others aren't.. and so on

The game has a few decent bits, but could definitely use some improvements in interactability and believability.

I was surprised by how much i liked this game.

Its not like most rpgmaker games, its actually pretty fun. You dont run around as a little sprite trying to find stuff, and as far as i can tell there arent any battles - just Thottery.

PROS

This game is really fucking funny. I laughed out loud a few times, and thats something i really like in a game. It doesnt take itself too seriously, and its just good lighthearted fun.

The scenes are really fappable. The dev does a really great job with camera angles. Her BJ scenes are especially good. The audio is good, and the moans are sexy. I was surprised by the facial expressions during the scenes, they were pretty sexy. This dev knows how to make good porn.

The music is pretty good, much better than most games. Its sexy and fits the setting pretty well.

At first, i didnt like the character models in the pictures when i first looked at the game, but when i actually played it I found that i liked them. They have a shiny, sweaty look that might be odd in a normal setting but looks great in a sex scene.

The story is pretty good, im having a lotta fun exploring their skanky world. The characters are done well, Im interested in following the story of Andrea - the 'Thot with a heart of gold'. Its not shakespeare, but its still pretty fun.

There is a REALLY long intro in the beginning. Some might see this as a con, but i think it adds depth to the story. I like it.

If the first couple releases are any indicator, then this game is gonna have a good update schedule with lots of content. Heres hoping.

CONS

Its pretty buggy. Honestly, bugs dont bother me that much because i know that devs will iron them out eventually. They really are a minor issue for me, but i can see how some folks hate them.

The dev does a really great job making sexy female characters, but a lot of her male characters are ugly (except for one neighbor dude who might be the primary love interest). The hair on these guys is especially bad.

This games file size is fucking massive, and will only get bigger. I dont know enough about the subject to comment on whether the dev needs to get better at compression or if the game is just that big - but youll need some free space to play this.

Aside from that, i really liked this game, and am excited for more. It pretty much instantly shot up in the rankings into one of my favorites on here.
Good Luck Dev AndreatheNord!

This game is still in development, and somethings need a cleanup, but it is the start for a absolutely awesome game! The story is incredibly enjoyable, the characters are all memorable, and the main gal has abs, which is the best!!!

Some parts of this game are great, others very much lacking. Nevertheless, one can already have great fun in this game, especially if you are into bimbo-like girls and public stuff. The details:
- Visuals are hot and ugly at the same time. I guess it's a good trade-off between quality and quantity, that allows this game to pack so much content already, but you have to lower your standards in regards to animations, hair, and liquids physics.
- Storywise, same contradiction: we are fed with a lengthy intro that introduces many characters and covers several years of MC's life when in-game it makes no difference whatsoever as her personality is non-existent. Despite that, writing is pretty fun and fluent.
- Gameplay is also all over the place. It's a pretty clever use of RPGMaker for a novel-style game with combat-like minigames, and a lot of effort was put into the mechanics. But, it's also notoriously unbalanced as of the moment...
With all that said, it's still exciting to play! It will be interesting to see how this would be developed, given the ambitious plans of the dev.

For a very early build of the game, there's actually quite a decent amount of content already. The file size made me raise an eyebrow, afraid that this was probably the worst case of bloat, and while there should definitely be some optimization by the full release there's still a lot to see.

After watching the intro for some H scenes and familiarizing yourself with the Hootee's bar minigame tutorial, you are thrust into a life sim where you have a full year to repay a $300,000 debt. In the current build there are probably not enough big money-makers for this to be possible, but so far I've experienced the aforementioned Hootee's bar, a gloryhole job you can unlock later, and a strip club at night.

Besides working, the main character also has a couple of daily needs that need to be met, which you can either pay for or get "for free" in exchange for a "favor." Further RPG elements include a morality system and a Skyrim style skill system, though as for how those will impact the game down the line is yet to be seen. Many random events can also lead to more H scenes, so the game is very dense with its sexual content.

In the Alpha Build 7, my biggest complaint so far is the tedium of doing the Hootee's minigame. It plays like a Yakuza bar management game, where your waitresses need to greet guests, take orders, and serve customers all while managing their own stamina. Over time, customers get rowdier and waitresses get hornier which leads to random sex happening on the spot. This leads to the minigame getting very lengthy as you approach the end, and with 60 turns to pass in total it becomes very time consuming. Mercifully, the minigame can be ended whenever you want but that does come at the cost of extra tips and sex EXP, which I would hate to give up once the full game comes around. Maybe the sex scenes can be sped up or skipped to help things move along faster.

Another small complaint is menu navigation. While the game is controlled entirely by mouse, the main menu has to be brought up using the Esc key. I'd rather just use the right click to pull up the menu and cancel selection so that the gameplay is a bit smoother. There are also some needless steps added to menu navigation for "immersion", such as needing to open the bank app and tap an extra button to login all so you can check your cash on hand. I'd rather just have your cash displayed somewhere else on the menu and have that app replaced with a Load option or something, but for now it's a bit unnecessary.

Anyway with the core game mechanics yet to be fully realized and even more content on the way, I can say that I am genuinely excited to see where this project goes in the future. I just hope that the vision for this game is focused rather than having too much going on for its own good.

OMG
You have a gem on your hands Dev. This is constant tease and one almost perfectly done. Give us some control during sex scenes (options like what to do next, not only watch the scene, although if it stays like this is ok, but it would be awesome to chose what to do next, like mix the animations, grab a tit, lick the pussy, finger the ahole, all in the same continous action - Animations are GREAT - The best available). Please don't leave this by the middle. It is a GEM. You will get a medal and a commendation for this. Great work.
Great fapping material, SWEET girls, great and JUICY, very JUICY main character. Give an option to skip work.

Animations and models are great, story is whatever but you don't play this game for a story.

Gameplay starts after the intro, the intro is a series of scenes after each it will ask you to save (which is pretty dumb, but whatever).

The bad part is that animations are unskippable, sometimes pretty lenghty and without any dialogue, for that I docked one star.

The other bad thing about this game is cumming animation, in some scenes it doesn't exist, in some it looks almost like pissing and in a very few it's there and it's fine.

The last annoying part is Hooters minigame, it's kind of just a waste of time.

Very good alpha build and a really cool introduction story, makes the game not only more immersive but prepares you to the sandbox mode (sandbox mode with day and night cycle was pretty interesting). The protagonist is really hot, not only it makes me a fan of Andrea but i wish all the happiness and success to the developer..
I'm certain that the next alpha builds will have much more content (with different fetishes and adventures) and more outfits for the main character (not only for the job but to roam aroundo the world).
The skill system is genius and the scenes are really good.
I really wish to see female pov and Andrea in platform heels in the next updates.
All the love and serenity to the developer <3

Already very good, but the list of planned jobs makes it instafollow for me. Only problem i see is that maybe some jobs like secretary, nurse, flight assistant should be done first than the gloryhole or street whore job that seems to be coming next update, this way it would feel like there is a ittle corruption, that is very hot for me. Good luck to the dev

It's a great game, the truth is, it's very good, I loved the protagonist, very sexy, the characters, I've been waiting a long time for a great one like this without limitations, as for the genres and sex scenes, I was already tired of the fact that the only thing that comes out is pure boring harem genre, I hope it continues and becomes one of the best and games with a female protagonist are my favorites. Let the developer go ahead and develop the game to his liking, not taking into account the opinions of others because later is when the quality of a game goes down.
