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

[Disgruntler]

Okay so since the Dev is disgruntler now, are you planning to add some more story elements to the game ? Like some sort of advancement in Nicole's story or something entirely new , like a new story girl or something to do with that criminal organization girl who wears mask on her face?

Some additional transparency on this.

The way dialogs are handled and triggered in this game's engine is a little complicated for my dinosaur brain. Granted, I've torn apart complicated stuff in the code before, but for me, this isn't a place where I've had to put in a lot of work, because I don't think there's a lot of work needed to be done on what's there.

On top of this, I feel the story with Nicole has reached its logical conclusion.

Does that mean there isn't opportunity to advance story with Nicolette Shea? Or Simon Gespote? Sure... but this adds in three additional challenges.

1) If I'm doing story for the Mafia, I'd want to pair that with additional purchases from the Gespote.

2) I'd need to start going into the business of making girlpacks, if only to do the work on Nicolette Shea.

3) Doing such a thing justice would baloon the filesize for VCHH. (Most of it is Nicole vids.)

Hmm, since we are down to just tweaking numbers basically in VCHH, I will be rubbing my hands together in anticipation of SOMEBODY'S game in development, hehe....Bring on the clowns!

Right now, that's got some technical difficulties I need to over come and...

Well, let's just say I have some tricks up my sleeve left for VCHH.

How to gain connections?

-----

I might have solved the issue of the resorting of girls changing their order in the work menu. I can't guarantee that it'll work all the time for extremely large stables of girls (over 1000, there may be a couple edge cases) but it should work.

One core system I'm going to change is going to be to the client generation. Currently, a timer runs down, and then it brings in a client. The change I'm going to introduce is going to make reputation more important. Now, it will run down the timer, and check a random amount based on your reputation as well as how many days in you are, and then if you succeed, that client will enter your establishment. At parity, this check will be a 50/50 check, so by doubling the rate of checks, you should expect the same number of customers should you achieve parity with this internal number.

What this will do is it will make losing reputation a little more impactful. It will reward those who get reputation faster and make girls who have reputation gaining traits more valuable in the longer game. This is going to also change the variance, so you can no longer rely on customers always appearing 'on time every time.'

The system that governs this is also going to lay the groundwork for 10.0 and the plans I have.

There will also be a change to how client quality is generated, and I will very likely be doing something with the improvements to reflect this. I'm not happy with the advertising improvement, so I am likely going to change it to fit within these new generation mechanics.

I started downloading the 100GB torrent not realizing it hasn't been supported for a while. Stuck at 99.1%. I don't suppose any kind soul could seed the rest? It says there 37 peers - I don't know enough about torrents but I think there's at least a few other people in my position.

Downloading them all individually via Mega is time consuming and I get capped out every couple of girls and have to wait a few hours to begin again.

My playstyle is to build and improve work teams. It takes ~2 nights for employees to recover enough energy to work another shift. So I have three shift teams that I like to rotate through. Now that the cost of having excess employees is lower (and there is incentive from brokers and investors to have "spare" employees) it would be nice to have some in-game way of putting employees into teams so I can add the entire team to the night's shift in one go.

Theme nights make it desirable to have a set team of employees all with the same trait, so some way of keeping them together and avoiding accidentally sending them off to do something else would be helpful there too.

What is the difference between classic mode and scramble?

and if you add the crown jewels?

it is not clear to me

Good idea, not sure I can implement it into the save file safely. It'll have to wait until after I get around to a UI revamp of the work assignment screen though.

it is not clear to me

Scramble Mode: Costs and stats are randomized for hires across the board, and you only have a small number of girls available to be hired at any given time. The lottery will pick from the entire pool of girls.

Crown Jewels Mode: Five girls are selected at random, set aside and are unavailable to be bought. They are given max stats and a special, overpowered trait. A special button is added to acquire these girls, which require massive resource expenditures to acquire.

It seems i entcoutered a bug with openness gaining in scramble cj:

one of my girls stoped gaining openess while she is performing. in another Case, the game showed like openness 49 but when i sort the list according to openess she was last there (behind a 13,.. girl)

Both things seems to appear with lottery girls and after loading the game. I try to reproduce that bug to be more precise about when it appears.

If the amount of openness is 33.2, 49.8, 66.4, or 83.0, this may be normal behavior, as girls with those openness cannot train openness using dance, pose, foreplay or oral respectively.

in another Case, the game showed like openness 49 but when i sort the list according to openess she was last there (behind a 13,.. girl)

Sorting algorithm's getting a slight change in today's update, so test it with that.

Thanks, wasn't aware of that mechanism.

V9.5 is live on MEGA on the front page. Mirrors coming when they come.

Changelog is on the front page.

So this is happening pretty randomly, girls are stuck behind the icon when dragged into it and hotkeys do nothing
also on some days the first client doesn't show up until 30 seconds in.

Old bug is old. Hit tab or up and down arrows and it will select that girl so you can send her.

I don't have a fix, because that has to do with videos loading, and it's specific to certain videos.

Expected RNG. It swings both ways. Once you get your rep up, you'll find girls coming even faster. Over time your income should be in line with your expenses.
And this is foundational stuff to 10.0.

Would love to have the latest version compiled for Linux, please.

Oh damn that's THE stuck bug huh? Guess i used to get lucky because i don't think i've ever actually seen it for myself. Never mind dummy me then.

I don't have a Linux machine to test this on, and girlpack selection would be restricted to WEBM-based packs only.

The previous versions have ran fine that I have tried. I would be happy to test and provide feedback. I'm not sure what you mean by webm only packs, but looking at the information on how to create girl packs it seems like it would be pretty universal with JSON and images. Although the images are case sensitive.
