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

[scutterhutdev]

OK, I think I'm done with this for now. This is a continuation of my previous 9.5.0.2p, with the main addition being an interpretation of the Adversity option and Disloyalty stat that Disgruntler added but didn't get around to implementing.


9.5.1.0x (I was told to give this a new version number)

The Disloyalty stat right now is more of an introduction or proof-of-concept. The stat gains/losses are small, and in the current course of natural gameplay, it is unlikely for Disloyalty to go too positive. That is, unless you take a large chunk of her money, in which case her disloyalty can increase drastically.

Speaking of the girl's money, as far as I know, her money is otherwise currently only used for taking classes and the new random chance energy gain mechanic. I'd like to explore more ideas around a girl using her money to do things.

Apart from that, this is just something I mess around with in my spare time. I would like to do this more regularly, but I have little experience in Unity and any drastic gameplay changes will probably take a long time as I figure out how everything in the project connects without accidentally blowing something up. If anyone else wants to expand on this version of the game, let me know and I'll provide the source code.

Guess I need to install windows again! great effort!

You can filter by packs added in the last month, 3m, 6m, 12, all time.

Its really crude how it collects stats (basically just a counter), so I cant, for example,tell you want are the most popular packs this week.

Would anyone actually like to know that?

could you add being able to filter on ethnicity or hair color?

I'm going to have to experiment with the new system a bit. I quickly went into the red twice in the early stages. I probably hired too many girls too quickly.

It would certainly be interesting to see which packs are most popular, either all time or over a period. But not essential.

It would definitely be interesting, just as a krude way of recommendation alone. I would love to see some kind of ratings or cooments, but that's way to complex I believe

Is there some reason it won't let me load games? it asks me if I'm ok losing progress, but pressing yes doesn't do anything.

Are you trying to load a save from a previous version?

 

[WarblGarbl]

Can't tell if I'm enjoying the new system or not. I like the opportunity to speed up the start by taking the starting money from the girls, but the regular payments to them slow you down much more.
While I'm still testing, I found a funny exploit - Brokers blackmailed me a girl with 33k savings. On turn 10! Not sure how that works but that's mine now lol

I got one with 66k, pretty sweet. Maybe we shouldn't be able to take all their money? Seems a bit unrealistic unless we lean into the "we're with the mob" aspect more.

 

[Terakahn]

Nope. Same version. I started a new game yesterday, and it'll load games for a while, but at some point it just decides not to and I have to restart the game. Sometimes it will load, but it will treat the game like I am starting over with no girls, or 1 girl. And I'll have the same amount of money but no upgrades. So I have to reboot the game anyway.

Lottery- and Broker-sourced girls have some crazy multiplier on her starting money. An oversight that I'll correct in the next patch.

 

[Terakahn]

I noticed in a lot of the json files, some girls have firstgirl: true, and some are false. And the same for lottery, some true and some false. Is there a way to make the game treat every girl as true for both? I only ever get the same 3 options in scramble to start. A lot of the packs I have don't even have a first girl line, which I guess explains why I don't get more than the 3 options.

Wouldn't it be easier to just set those three girls to false? If every girl is set to true, it would just randomly select from every girl, which is presumably what it would do if no girl is set to true as well.

As for how to change a bunch of those variables quickly all at once, I'm guessing there's probably some way to do something like that with a batch script, but that's beyond my technical knowledge. If you use this tool, you can change each one just by checking a box instead of editing the JSON. I'm not positive, but I think if girls have lottery set to true they might not show up in the normal recruiting shop. I think that's why there's a bool for it at all, because it's asking if you want to put them in the lottery instead of the normal shop. But again, I'm not positive about that. All I know is that I unchecked the lottery option on all of mine at some point, and I think that's probably the reason why.

 

[Terakahn]

I figured if none were set to true, it wouldn't let me have any girl.

OH. So they can't both by in shop and lottery. Damn. I just figured it was one or both. I downloaded a ton of packs and was testing them by doing lottery and seeing what they were like and reloading, and testing again. That doesn't work if none of them are in lottery. And I can't buy them normally if they are then.

it's weird that it's either or. I thought anyone could be in the shop. And that lottery would just select one of them at random. Even with scramble huh?

You can try putting them all in lottery and see what happens. You can start a game of scramble with only 20 packs (Crown Jewel needs 35), so it wouldn't take all that many to test.

Wait, what do you mean by testing them and seeing what they were like? If you mean their stats or skill points, those are gonna be different each time in scramble (those are the things that are being scrambled). If you mean the video clips, you can see those in File Explorer without needing to acquire the girl in the game.

 

[Terakahn]

yeah the clips and stuff. Well I downloaded a ton of packs so I was just seeing them at random.

 

[CaptC]

can somebody help resolve this
the game shows that she doesn't have any finishers even though all are true in the json file

Which version of the game are you using?

In her actual finish folder, she has only a few files. The finishers she does actually have may not yet be activated in your game. They won't display as available until you have bought the correct activity.

 

[CaptC]

A minor bug in the new version: If you look at the staff screen, the first girl displays her bio text correctly. Every other girl you look at fails to update the bio text.

This looks like an issue with loading a save from a previous version. Do you still have the same problem when playing a new game?

 

[CaptC]

Ah, dunno, have just tried my old save. I suspect you have diagnosed it correctly.
