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

[ThroneAweigh]

Is there anyone taking over the game yet, as Tobe is giving up ?
Or a dev team discussing over a possible future for the game ?

Or is the game just dead now ?

Thanks for your feedback

I've been working on my own version of this, but haven't posted anything this week since there's not really anything visual worth showing. Admittedly, I've been working on this from scratch as a way to re-teach myself Unity.

When ever I try to play I get this . I have tried deleting everything redownloading it and I still get the same thing. Anyone know how to fix it?

Can't say I've ever seen a game launch like that.

Are you emulating windows or is this native?

Indeed it doesn't work. I'll try to find a way to make it work. In the meantime, here is a link to an archive of the source code. You just need to unzip it and add a project pointing to this folder in UnityHub and it should work. Tell me if it doesn't.
The transcoding of the videos may take a while, but it should work if you skip it (although if you have the patience, I'd suggest letting Unity do its thing).

Good luck working on the game!



I like the look of it! I tried it (relatively quickly) and I'd say the only problem I had was a small delay when clicking or using the keys to go to the next/previous girl. It's not much, but I think it could become cumbersome for a large number of girls.
I like the search feature! (although I'd say it could be displayed more clearly, but I'm assuming it is already planned).
No issues for me on a non-qwerty keyboard.
I can't say much about performances in loading packs, as I only used 8 (the "basic" ones). With those eight, it was pretty much instantaneous.
Good luck!

Okay so thank you very much. I've been modifying the source code for the past week and here's my conclusions.

1. There's nothing wrong with the code, it's great and not bad to work with.
2. Unity freaking suuucckksss. It's slow and ass for games like this. I'm on a mac and compiling and opening the game takes forever. Renpy would've been so much better.
3. Most users are windows and having to compile different versions is total shit, it's quite tiresome.
4. I didn't quite manage to do everything I wanted, and I ended up just cheating / adding tons of money and removing punishments for missing clients. This lets me ignore clients and keep my hands off the keyboard/mouse where I need them and not worry about putting stuff in boxes when I'm trying to enjoy the content. The initial idea was to remove all put girls in boxes "gameplay" (imo really a pointless chore) entirely but I didn't quite figure out how to do that. The cheat as it were is basically enough to do what I want and I'm not really motivated to make the initial vision happen.

Let me know if you guys want to see the cheat version compiled for windows and published or the initial vision happen. I'll try to make a windows build for it if 5 people tell me they want it.

Using windows 10, Venus Club is the only game this happens too

The only thing I could imagine it being is a registry error?

Open regedit and look for the Venus' Club registry. Mine was under 'Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Tobe\Venus's Club' and see if those values all make sense.

I've been working on my own version of this, ...

This is more pie in the sky talk but I'd hope like minded developers could come together for a collaborative effort on which direction development should go, instead of people doing their own thing.

Do we continue with Venus Club original, or do we attempt a Venus Club branch towards a different theme than a strip club?

I'm a stubborn guy and don't see myself working well with others on this sort of project. Most of VC's content is community-driven and I like it that way. End of the day, even if this project gets dropped, it could live on as a legacy game eternally as long as new pornstars are added by creators such as yourself.

If I do want to add any fundamental changes, I'll try to do it in a way that will make no difference to how packs are made for Tobe's version of the game.

As for story stuff with the secretary, I'm not very sure about how to approach it. I don't care much for Nicole as a pornstar and wouldn't have the interest in it. Ideally, it'd be community driven as well and allow creators to make secretary packs for their performers.

900 Girl packs going in the trash

 

[Nightingale9790]

does anyone know how to fix the JSON_data folder does is missing I've looked at the op and it doesn't say how to fix this issue, all my girl packs are up to date

Why? You can continue to play the game as it is forever if you'd like....

Hey again everyone, been working on the list for performers that would be used in the setup and lounge screen. I lost a good deal of time last week to work (and GG Strive ).

I've managed to get it into a semi-acceptable state and seems to run fairly well with 600+ girlpacks using a combination of forced-loading the initial visible panels and streaming in the rest.

I'll be spending this week working on the sorting drop-down for the list (and displaying the sorted value) as well as a new search format that'll work for this view.

 

[dingo4life]

Shame the dev had to abandoned it, although I do understand, even if a quick wrap up of the Nicole story would have been nice.
Still this game going open source is very nice and a good gesture, many people just bail and that is it, now there is a chance for people to hopefully continue and maybe even use this very solid foundation in their own work. Hopefully giving credit where credit is due.
I don't know much about coding but I imagine that maybe the girl pack system could be used in other games with a completely different theme as well should people want to make their own.

Another weekly update!

Been working on the logic for customer spawning and assignment, getting it to work with global variables. Still no supplement mechanics like drink/cigs, though.

Also been working on the upgrade shop itself, but it's looking similar to the original game's shop at the moment, so I don't think it's worth showing.

One thing I *did* do was make the lottery a bit more interesting:

It doesn't spin yet, but it does populate randomly from the list and properly masks everything. I'd like to get the wedges placed via script instead of by hand for uniformity, but I didn't want to leave people without some sort of visual for this week.

When I get stuck on a programming issue, I've also been thinking about new stuff to add to the game. I have a couple of ideas for new content for girls, more potential for different types of girlpacks, and implementing mechanics in new ways. I'd like to hear your input!

I found an undocumented feature in the original game (don't call it a bug!) If Nicole ends the date and you go into the lounge, she becomes the default girl for lessons. As far as I know this is the only way you can give her lessons to improve her opennesss. This probably is technically a bug but it's potentially useful.

 

[sspamotajs]

Was actually thinking of doing something similar as ThroneAweigh. Glad to see the community coming together! I agree with the fact that Secretary storyline isn't too important. I would rather see a good community-based management game, that is a bit more challenging than now. Thank you, ThroneAweigh, I will be following your progress.

 

[soulreaper777]

I keep continuing with my gps. At the moment, i work on 3 gps of big titted girls of the 90s. I dont give up that game.

 

[Loganfin]

Truly, with all of the girlpacks that have already been created, and new porn stars always coming onto the scene, there's no reason to toss the game away. Its endlessly playable, IMO.

 

[macadam]

i made a bunch of girlpack for myslf again... all R34 obviously

Countess from Paragon, Shepard from Mass Effect, Nyotengu from DoA, a bunch of WoW girls (Whitemane, tyrande, sylvanas), Elizabeth from Bioshock, girls from LiS and bunch of others from Mai Shiranui to Mavis Dracula... XD

i would like to share them, but i dont have any space to upload them somewhere (my Mega and Gdrive already taked with my own game development)

But anyway...

How do you play the date mini game exactly ??

When it start, there is a bunch of boobs and eyes floating around, but i dont even have time to move anything that it instantly stop and say "you gazed too much, so she left , you earn 5 points"...

what the fuck ?
