What would you like me to add to the game in the next update?

  • The connection (police) mechanic. This would be a new "currency" and a new batch of upgrades.

  • More events and the possiblity for the packmakers to add some in their packs.

  • The possbility to train the skills of the girls

  • Progress the story and add story missions (mostly focused on Nicole)

  • Something else (tell me either by PM or in this thread).


Results are only viewable after voting.

Something I think might help with the pacing a bit would be to reduce the effect of reputation on income and make whatever is happening in the show more important. So for instance dancing would pay significantly less than posing which would pay significantly less than foreplay, etc. From what I noticed with the way the game is now you earn about the same from a dance as you do from group sex provided both clients have the same level of money (both are rich/etc).

Might also be interesting to have some of the earlier stage options be reserved for dancing/posing and have the later ones be reserved as "vip rooms" where the clients are guaranteed to want something at least as explicit as foreplay. Anyway, looking forward to the next version.

like the game, just wanted to throw a few things out for the next update if you want ideas. take em or leave em
potential improvements:
1) training - improve openness / train skills - often you recruit at different times so they arent all of the same skill / ability and that causes so many problems during the game when u keep trying to palce someone but they arent open enough yet

2) openness indicator - not sure what the best way to do this is without cluttering the UI but being able to highlight the desired activity should maybe highlight each girl in green if shes capable, or red if she isnt? / grey them out?

3) mid/late game auto work - after achieving a certain amount id like to be able to actually look at whats going on, with 6 booths and all the different requests and needs (even with auto dispensers) it feels like work and i dont actually get to enjoy much of the content

Also, I kinda want to create 3D Girl Packs like Yennefer, Ada Wong, Mercy etc.
I was wondering what you guys think about it. Is it something that would be interesting or do you think it would be too unimmersive?
It occurs to me is should have this as a first video, if we could designate one as such. ;)

It might be difficult to implement and not see much use, but I'm thinking it might be nice to have the option of attaching openness values to videos within an activity. So a girl like Lana Rhoades, for example, could switch from the videos where she's younger and had less surgery done, to her bimbo look at some openness level. I'm sure there would be other possible uses too.
That's a good idea, especially if associated with some kind of story. That said, it's going to need a slight redesign of the packs and more work for the pack makers so I'll keep it in mind but probably won' do it unitl a few updates.

Great game so far!! What do you plan to implement in future iterations (beyond improving the mod-ability of girlpacks)?

Might I suggest the option to "shoot scenes" within the club and a possibility to branch off towards porn filming rather than just strip club prostitution. Or have some sort of interaction between the girls that we've created from our packs and with the player?
I plan to add a ton of things! A few examples would be:
New mechanics and new types of stuff to buy, possiblity to train the girls outside of the work phase, possiblity to interact (as the MC) with the girls (this will most likely be connected to to progressing their stories), develop the "main" story, mini-games that are not the basic work phase (although I'm not sure yet what those could be...), and other stuff that I haven't thought of yet...

For turning the club into a porn studio, why not, this could be a new mechanic in the form of a different "work phase".

So for instance dancing would pay significantly less than posing which would pay significantly less than foreplay, etc. From what I noticed with the way the game is now you earn about the same from a dance as you do from group sex provided both clients have the same level of money (both are rich/etc).

Technically, the performances do increase earnings already. But the effect of the reputation on earning is so strong that it's barely noticeable. The next update has been rebalanced to try to correct that.

For the kind of VIP rooms, I intend at some point to add "specialized" booths, where you basically choose for each ones what performances you want them to be used for. This is something that has been suggested multiple times by multiple people, so I think I will add it soon (can't exactly say when though, but not in the next update)

1) This is one of the thing I intend to add in the future, both to improve openness and skills.

2) Currently, when you click on an empty "girl's space" in a booth with a client waiting, you'll see a red to green border around each girl"s portrait that shows how good she is at what the client wants. In the next update, there will be no border when the girl can't do the performance.

3) This is something I also intend to add, but not to the point of having a total auto work (this would kill the game). I think at some point you will be able to buy automation for 1 or 2 booths, maybe 3, but not more.

This is really good. One idea I had is to make some of the policies toggle-able. Like if you don't want to see footjobs or are trying to see a new girls deep throat scenes you would be able to adjust what scenes play.
I think this is partially resolved by adding the possibility to have "specialized" booths, that will only take clients wanting a specific performance. But I'll also think of having toggleable policies.

Thanks everyone for your returns and suggestions!
The next update will be ready soon, I'd say in about a day or so.

Minor issue, but the recruit girls screen seems to get a bit bugged out if you hire all of the available girls before you get someone to 35 openness:

Can you still play the game and continue ??
Or is it just when you go to Recruit Girls screen you get this but can return to the game ?

I found the bug and fixed it. Good old infinite loop...
It's not a major bug though, just gives you a little peek of my stupid placeholder texts...
Not sure if I should update the OP with a new version now or wait for more bug reports.

It doesn't break anything it's just a display issue really. I did run into a more severe issue just now though. If I save the game I can't leave the menu screen. Can't exit, can't load a save, can't do anything. If I kill the game process and reload, I can load the save so then it seems to work fine.

I was able to play through all of the new mafia related stuff and that was interesting. One balance issue I noticed is that it seems like the mafia guys are too rare until you get the upgrade that makes them more common. The problem is the upgrade comes from the mafia "shop" and costs a significant amount of influence.

I was playing without any girl packs since I wasn't sure if they required any tweaking and I wanted to see what was new in the base game anyway. Will try it with girl packs next. It's a real pain to make enough money with only the base girls but I suspect it'll be easy again with girl packs unless they all end up hidden behind the lottery mechanic.

Edit: Played around with the save game thing a bit more can can't reproduce my issue so not sure what happened there. Maybe it glitched since I used the same save slot as the old version of the game or something.

The Guide for how to make girlpacks has been updated with how new things work and also the pre-made pack as well.

You can choose if you wan them to be a normal purchase or part of the Lottery.

All new options will not affect the old description file and will still work as before.

Also say what a girl will perform and not perform (anal, cream-pie, anal cream-pie etc...) to help with not having a video for that action.

With regard to less money and harder to get things, its to try to make it a bit more challenging, and also as you stated how you found the bug was you spent all your money on all the girl purchases ;)

The mafia (Gespote) new items you can get, are going to be tougher to get as they have big benefits and are above what you can purchase as improvements, although a good one is being able to automate extras at a earlier point in your progress.

You have to be careful now on what to buy and when.

I think I'll slightly increase the frequency of the mafia guys.
For your bugs, it might be something weird Unity related. Game engines sometimes have weird bugs like that. I'll keep my eye on it.
Thanks for the report!

Yeah I just went through my girlpacks and tweaked them with the new options and it was easy. I love the amount of customizability now. Personally I like the idea of having only a small number of girls with minimal skills available from the start and have the more advanced ones unlocked via the mafia so that's the way I set mine up. In any case, nice update :)

Sounds great! As much as I'd love to have a main storyline, it might be hard for you to keep pumping out updates at some point. Maybe a more sustainable framework is to take inspiration from sport or management games: you have a yearly season with some clear objective at the end (FIFA World Cup, Superbowl, NHL Stanley Cup, make the most money for a movie studio company, win movie awards, etc.) which then resets for the following "season" where bigger stat changes occur. (That's why I recommended the porn studio spin-off :p). Maybe this would allow the game to stay fresh in-between updates and even after once updates slow down. This would definitely open up the possibility for mods from the community.

That's a good idea! Plus it could fit with the fact that I want to add at some point "club battles" that would sort of end the "season" you're talking about. They would be one of the possible "end of season" objective.
It's basically the same idea as in Yakuza 0, a game that Venus's Club is heavily inspired by.

I have a few mechanics I want to add in the game before that though, so it's not for right now!
