just a short feedback. if you have all booth you have a problem to keep up the reputation. cause some of the girls will have to rest and then you loose a lot reputation. solution will be probably just having more girls.

More of a prototype. I'm working on expanding it.
This madde me realize that I should change this, as "Demo" kinda implies that there is a full or almost full game behind that. Which is not the case at the moment.

Well, I knocked that out in about two hours.
I think the main thing you need is more girls and more challenges other than "click the button fast enough." Maybe a rent system, or perhaps some form of story? Random events? Secrets? (The sort that don't require grinding, but being clever?)
I like what is already here. I'm a sucker for resource management games, and in this case, the resources being Time and the Girls/their Stats.
I'm hoping this prototype becomes a fully fledged strip/sex club management sim, with plenty of tits to ogle. It seems you're already well on your way.

Since file size is an issue, have you considered adding additional girls via packs? Like the base game will have X, and then pack Y will add a few, and pack Z will add a few. You'd just need a folder for the less computer-savvy to drop them into.
Other than that, great work.
Other than that, great work.
So, played this demo for quite a while, I also used cheat engine to create more unlikely scenarios or happenstances. In general it is a really good game/demo. Especially the workday mechanics are great. Instead of getting a picture as in many other games you can see live what is happening. The balance between what is happening (the pornfactor) and you actually doing something (the gamefactor) is well made. What other games often do is either presenting a picture, which you just glared over and focus directly on the statchanges (which gets really repeating, when you have more women, in general for this kind of game), or overdoing it with the gamefactor so that you can't really enjoy the pornfactor. In this this demo does great, especially with the pause function of the zoom in button. But from here it gets mediocre or just bad.
First, the only stat of the women that matters is Energy. Every other stat is completely useless. I needed several club upgrades and 5 Women to run just two boothes without a day off. I can't see how the skilllevel will ever be a deciding factor to which woman you appoint to which client. Energy is way more important to earn money with having anyone working, then getting the most out of the womens stats. Especially since the money earned with high stat difference between women in the same category is almost nothing. So right now, every stat except energy of a women is USELESS. If those stats should become important something needs to change (sorry, but I couldn't think of a way how that could be done.)
The only interesting stat except energy so far could be openess. But since you hire a girl on day 1 that girls openess will always be high enough to implent every single policy. Only in runtroughs via cheat engine openness became important for me.
When it comes to policies or club improvements, those have a rather nice variety for a demo. So that is good. The danger I see is, that that has to be continued to keep the update used users interested. Without that, the game will loose a very interseting aspect. Also, a branching in different direction of those should be considered (if the sources allow it), so that 1 playthrough would focus more on striptease, another more on whoring, the next more on callgirls (so sending your women out to work).
This lead to another danger i see. The specific nature of content. It will always be more stripper/whore related. The pose option is a welcomed difference to that. This could be used (and would also allow the use of other clips/videos of the women) to create other fields of business ingame, by giving your womens jobs/missions to solve. I would like to point out Brothel King here for a positive example on how to do that.
Even if this comment sound a bit more negative, I really liked and still like playing this demo. For a realporn based management simulation it does a lot of things right. And normally I don't try to help a dev (in case the dev/s are reading this) by giving a hopefully constructive critic. That alone should show, that this game is a lot better in its genre then many others.

Thanks everyone for your replies!
I read your comments and take them into consideration for the (hopefully many) updates to come.
What I understand from your messages is that I need to add more things to do outside of the main game and Girlpacks. Both of those are planned for the future, the first one taking the form of two types of story: the "main" one about the club and its owner, and the "secondary" ones, which will be specific to each girl. There will also be random "events" with choices (I'm thinkning of something like FTL, for those who know this game).
For the Girlpacks, I'm thinking of a way to implement it. However, what blocks me is how to add personalised stories to girls coming from a pack. So I think what I'll do is have a "core" pack of maybe 10 girls that will be in the game, and give you the ability to create, download and add packs at will, knowing that this girl will have no story or an automatically generated one.
These updates and many others will be coming in the future. I can't say exactly when, but hopefully in the months to come.
In the meantime, I am about to upload a new version. Patchnote and specific update content will be in the OP

woooww amazing game!!! only think you should consider to add is sounds i guess. i mean videos should have sound when we zoom them 
but beside that game is very good even at this state of development...
but beside that game is very good even at this state of development...Hey Tobe, just wanted to register that I'm playing and REALLY enjoying the game.
I think that your plan to make it user expandable is fantastic (a la Girlpacks from Scoreville), and it looks like your game has a lot of potential. I look forward to seeing what you make!

Tobe, had a really fun time playing it. I'm loving the ideas you're throwing out, like packages, liked the tweaks you made for the second release, made the game more balanced. But i got this weird thing, seems like if i buy and equip costumes before i get to max reputation, i get stuck in there. Maybe it's just me , maybe a bug ? Anyways, can't wait for what comes next. Two thumbs up !

Thanks for the reply.
This is a bug, fix will be in the next update. In the meantime, this bug only occurs for costumes enhancing the reputation gain (both the one that does specifically that and the one that increases everything) so just avoid using those. This is a stupid bug that makes those costumes (especially the one focused on increasing reputation) useless... It should perfectly work with other costumes. But since I made it so you can't juste remove a costume, you are stuck with the useless one until you buy and equip another one...
Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for the bug report.
I'm thinking of adding sounds to the videos but I would need to edit many of them because the cuts could be weird when there is sound. Since I am currently working on adding Girlpacks, I can't do that right now, but it has been added to the (gigantic) TODO list. Thanks for your enthusiasm and your suggestion!woooww amazing game!!! only think you should consider to add is sounds i guess. i mean videos should have sound when we zoom them
Thx, i'll try a new playthrough, see how that works out. Sidenote, i wouldn't worry too much about sound , gifs and sounds don't work that well toghether , some background music , with an on-off switch , i can see it work, otherwise, i wouldn't bother . Another reason, is to keep the main load of the game on those Girlpacks i keep hearing about. It's 1.3 Gb already, something's gotta give, right ?

I intend to keep working on it. I don't really know when I will stop, hopefully at a point where I'm satisfied about it. Which is probably at least half a year in the future, probably more.
I try to keep a two week update schedule, so I will probably post the next update betwen the first and the fourth of May.
Congratulations you are doing a good job!
This is the kind of game that I like and I must say that the game is truly beautiful.
If you want advice I would tell you to add more girl (especially Ashlynn Brooke)

Hi Tobe,
great job so far, I love this game. I'm waiting for new content . I've reach the "end" of this demo by buying al that can be buy. Il's appear that 6 booth are a little too much for 8 girls to do a turn over between work and rest, but I think this will be "fix" by adding more girls, what is planned, if I read correctly.
I haven't read all comments, so this bug must have certainly being report but I tell you anyway :
sometimes when I drag/drop a girl on a booth, she "fall" beside the booth and is stuck behind the booth. You can recover the girl and drag/drop her correctly after that but she (or another girl) always return to this weird position during all the working day. This bug fix itself when you start a new working day. This bug appear somtime in the planning section too when draging/droping girl between resting/working.
