Unity Venus's Club [v9.5.0.1] [Disgruntler]

[Disgruntler]

So this is happening pretty randomly, girls are stuck behind the icon when dragged into it and hotkeys do nothing View attachment 1880423

Old bug is old. Hit tab or up and down arrows and it will select that girl so you can send her.

I don't have a fix, because that has to do with videos loading, and it's specific to certain videos.

also on some days the first client doesn't show up until 30 seconds in.

Expected RNG. It swings both ways. Once you get your rep up, you'll find girls coming even faster. Over time your income should be in line with your expenses.
And this is foundational stuff to 10.0.

Would love to have the latest version compiled for Linux, please.

Oh damn that's THE stuck bug huh? Guess i used to get lucky because i don't think i've ever actually seen it for myself. Never mind dummy me then.

I don't have a Linux machine to test this on, and girlpack selection would be restricted to WEBM-based packs only.

The previous versions have ran fine that I have tried. I would be happy to test and provide feedback. I'm not sure what you mean by webm only packs, but looking at the information on how to create girl packs it seems like it would be pretty universal with JSON and images. Although the images are case sensitive.

It's a limitation on Unity itself.

You must be registered to see the links

Linux Unity games cannot play mp4s through the videoplayer object. There's only three formats it can use, and only one codec it can use.

That said, if you're willing to download the Unity editor for Linux and compile and test it yourself, I can definately provide the source code for you.

I don't know if this is the same bug--or at least not expressing in the same way. I've never seen it before this build either, that said, this time it happened with multiple girls where they would just sit in the box and nothing happened. Krystal Steal only has one Dance video, the first time it froze for the whole night. The next night it worked fine, then it froze every other night.

The first night it happened(after I bought third booth) my first two girls froze, and the third worked. The next night all three worked. The third night all booths froze on first try. The fourth night I tried different girls and the booths all froze again. And then again, regardless of the girl chosen.

This was in scramble. In normal I didn't run into the problem but I only played that for a short while before switching to scramble.

Anyways, I closed the game, restarted, and reloaded and everything has worked fine since. I will report back if the situation was a one-off or not.

I have a doubt with the crown girls Are the 5 possibilities always the same? I have started the scramble mode 3 times and every time I have reached 100 reputation to win the first one, I have always had the same 5 options is that always like this? or when you reach the requirements for the second one, change to 5 different ones?


and I add now that the positions of secretary, cook, etc. have real girls, it would be very interesting to be able to interact with them if it sounds trite but who is not going to want to fuck or go out with the secretary?

and the game need a cheat mode (money rep etc)

When the video player has issue with a file because the file does not play nicely with its codec, or there's memory issue, it causes a frameskip which causes the drag method to hickup. The drag method thinks its starting over again at the current position, which is stored in memory as the return point when you drop the girl.

The videos that cause this issue have the same consistant problems with playback, and not just in unity. These videos always start two seconds in because it takes that long before the compression kicks in properly.

and the game need a cheat mode (money rep etc)

I don't even have debug menus made for myself. I'm going to agree to disagree. This game already has the ability to customize the costs of every girl and give them the exact stats you want at the exact cost you want in Normal mode. That's already more than 'cheat code' enough.

Question on the Brat Trait. It says that she does gain not Openness in the usual manner but then goes on to mention that once negotiated with she gains a passive and permanent gain in stats. Havent used her yet because my question is what is it about her Openness that she doesnt gain? Does she gain Openness at all or is it slowed? By a stat gain do you mean Openness or her Performance stats? Just started playing through the latest iteration and good game so far! But as a side note, please do not add any more complexity to it because I think it has reached a max peak on that without interfering with the actual porn "enjoyment", haha.

Ok, my dumbass went back and read the changelog, nevermind.....

 

[Morkar]

I have 2 problems

1 I can't find the log where they describe and explain all the game's traits I don't know if it's inside the game or you have to download it separately

2 I have paid for all the improvements of the automatic dispensers (a fortune) and they do not work if I do not click on the bottle, cigarettes, etc., it does not work, this is in the scramble mode with crowns I don't know if it will also happen in the normal

and about the cheats I do not agree I'm not talking about changing stats, I'm talking about not having to grind for 1 or 2 hours to buy the upgrades if a new version comes out and you have to start over to see the changes having to accumulate a huge amount of money with a "money cheat" I think it would improve the testing of new versions by speeding up everything

I've put a description of all the JSON-specific value on the first page.

2 I have paid for all the improvements of the automatic dispensers (a fortune) and they do not work if I do not click on the bottle, cigarettes, etc., it does not work, this is in the scramble mode with crowns I don't know if it will also happen in the normal

The functionality of the club improvement 'automated x' have all been changed to raise the cap of happiness for customers, which increases the cap for monetary gain per tick.

Those upgrades were completely redundant given you can buy that functionality at club level 1 through the Crime services.

and about the cheats I do not agree I'm not talking about changing stats, I'm talking about not having to grind for 1 or 2 hours to buy the upgrades if a new version comes out and you have to start over to see the changes having to accumulate a huge amount of money with a "money cheat" I think it would improve the testing of new versions by speeding up everything

I have save files peppered at all sorts of stages of the game, but the real truth is, the only way for me to test the resource curve is to play. And any change to costs or gains has a cumulative effect over the course of the game, so it needs to be tested in that way.

But as a side note, please do not add any more complexity to it because I think it has reached a max peak on that without interfering with the actual porn "enjoyment", haha.

Any future layers of complexity I add will be valves and tweaks the player can control the presence of, such as girl traits, or alternative play modes.

You'll see when I start working on 10.0.

Great work on the game! I Like the new changes. Addiing a litttle more variance.

One questions: After the customer intake rework, does the Security-Upgrade still has an effect on it?

Security upgrade--currently--affects the 'tick rate' of the random checks for customer intake, so it does still have an effect.

Advertising, and Security will be altered in the next patch, however upgrading the tickrate is still going to be 'a thing'. Advertising will probably be changed to increase the chance of attraction per tick, while Security will be reflavored to what attraction rate really represents in the new system.

If it helps to understand the flavor I'm aiming for, the rate of ticks and checks represent cooperation in the Venus District to pull in customers, and the chance of you getting a customer represents a competitive edge you have in pulling in customers relative to the District.

I suppose I'm showing a bit more of my hand than intended, but yeah, 10.0 is going to be about the district itself.

" The functionality of the club improvement 'automated x' have all been changed to raise the cap of happiness for customers, which increases the cap for monetary gain per tick. "

So I think that in order not to fall into that error, the description of the last improvement of the dispensers should be changed

All four have had their descriptions changed multiple patches ago. The metadescription is now "Boosts the effect of giving X at higher levels. Increases maximum client happiness at max level." and the final level is "Improves client maximum happiness by 50."

Venus' Club?
"Club Venus" would sound better, imo.

the game wears its yakuza 0 inspiration on it's sleeve we don't need to copy it completely do we
