Oh yeah, I missed the part about using Snob. My bad.

Valid question was valid.

 

[rb813]

Dances and Poses are generally quicker because they do not normally get extended--so you don't need to plan for that in case of clips.

Do cumshots ever get extended? Or will they always be exactly 20 seconds?

 

[Disgruntler]

Good question. I think it's set, there's no RNG involved but I'll have to crack open the code to be sure.

 

[jggold]

Do cumshots ever get extended?

I saw everyone else making their finishers 20 seconds so I made mine 20 seconds. That's the same reason I made my regular clips 30 seconds ... 'cause that's what everyone else was doing. I don't know if it's something Tobe told folks at the outset or if we all just played Follow the Leader.

 

[Disgruntler]

Alright, just did a hard verify in the code.

The Finisher time is 15 seconds, no RNG, no modifiers, just straight up 15, and always was.

 

[jggold]

The Finisher time is 15 seconds

That is interesting. I have never paid close enough attention to the finishers, I guess. I didn't notice them cutting off. I suppose that by the time you reach that point in the game, your attention has to bounce other booths. Thanks for clarifying that for us.

 

[rb813]

Damn, there's probably some cumshot clips I'll wish I had done differently.

 

[rb813]

While we're on the subject of clip length, can you go into a little more detail about what causes clips to be extended? Is it just costumes and the girl's trait bonus? You said Dance and Pose aren't normally extended; are the other categories extended most of the time, or would it be better to just make 20 seconds the uniform clip length (for everything but finishes)?

Sure.

You have to

1) meet a minimum threshhold of happiness (which is trivial to make so just assume you always do)
2) You have to have an eligible work type (so Foreplay and up unless you have the Investment that unlocks extends for Dance/Pose)
3) The girl has to have the ability to have at least one finisher compatible with that act (body finisher works for all types) so if she's locked out of a finisher she may be locked out of extends
4) You have to have the policy unlocked for that finisher.

This is why I suggest making sure Body Finishers exist for every girl, just in case.

Very helpful, thank you!

Just one more question, I think. The maximum length for an extend is 15 seconds (making the maximum total length of the clip 35s), correct?

For a finisher.

For extends... it's a bit different. Let me get back to you on that.


The base time for a work is 20s, which can be increased to 35s by itself. Then extending adds another 20s to that. So a non-finisher video could go as long as an entire minute.

Wait, so "increasing" and "extending" are different things? That makes it even more confusing. Can Dance and Pose also be increased even if they can't be extended?

Increase/Decrease: This is the bonus you can get from Costumes. This can go as high as +75%. This applies to ALL work.

Extend: This is when you have a valid finisher and you hit Extend to increase the pre-finisher time. This only applies to work where a finisher is valid and exists.

Finisher: This is the extra time you get with the cumshot, etc.


Glad you're asking, I do want to make sure everything's clear.

So basically, Increase is something that happens automatically, and Extend is only when you press the button? If I never click Extend, then all my clips of any category (except finishes, which are always 15s) will be exactly the same length every time, right?

This actually works out just fine for the clips I've been making (other than my finishes being too long). The approach I've taken before now is "up to 35s, but if there's a part of the clip you definitely don't want to miss, make sure it's in the first 20s."

Yeah, just know Extend will cause it to loop.

My advice is a very simple "make dance/pose 35s, anything else longer, and if it loops because the player chose to make it longer, let them cook" and anything longer than 50 seconds is probably a waste.

 

[Hazur]

So I did the leg-work...

What follows is the list for the "power" variable in the description.json file which predetermines the girl's trait. I also included the recommended backstage position. If you want to find this later just search the thread for "trait list".

BEWARE!!! ANY OTHER NUMBER WILL PRECLUDE THE GIRL FROM GETTING A TRAIT!!!

TRAIT LIST:

0	random after work/class (default)
1	Eager Student	(Trainer)
2_3	Solo Enthusiast	(Trainer) *
4_5	External Enthusiast	(Trainer) *
6_7	Fuck Enthusiast	(Trainer) *
8	Self-Promoter	(Advertiser)
9	Energetic
10	Over-Achiever
11	Hustle-Queen	(Accountant)
12	Advertiser	(Advertiser or Hostess)
13	Cousin of Gespote	(Secretary)
14	High Class Escort	(Secretary)
15	Shaker & Mover	(Secretary)
16	Booth-Bunny
17	Snob
18	Life-Coach	(Leader)
19	Hot teacher	(Leader or Trainer)
20	On-Floor Manager	(Leader or Hostess)
21	No Thought All Thot
22	Girl Next Door	(Advertiser or Hostess)
23	Working on PHD	(Any)
24	Your Assistant	(Any+++) **
25	---nothing?	# I Think this position might be the reason a brand new girl, sometimes, gets no trait after work/classes.
26	Attention Whore
27	Camgirl
28	Brat

* I assume the Enthusiast traits get two positions to make them more common?

**I haven't seen this assigned randomly in vanilla gameplay. I assume it's ignored by design, you don't want just any girl getting this right away.

I wish there was a way to dismiss an investor or at least turn off their special ability. For instance, I got Look But Don't Touch in my current game, but I've decided I don't like it anymore. My options as far as i can tell are just suck it up and deal with it, or start a whole new game.

Or at least click that you don't want an investor when the option comes up, like you would for the individual girls in scramble. There are a few investors that I always like to get, and its frustrating if they never show up because they're blocked by ones I don't like.

Oh, I just savespam for that. Still doesn't help if I pick an investor and decide I don't want them later, though.
