What would you like me to add to the game in the next update?

  • The connection (police) mechanic. This would be a new "currency" and a new batch of upgrades.

  • More events and the possiblity for the packmakers to add some in their packs.

  • The possbility to train the skills of the girls

  • Progress the story and add story missions (mostly focused on Nicole)

  • Something else (tell me either by PM or in this thread).


Results are only viewable after voting.

Scramble with Crown Jewels. The crash occurs when I click the "Recruit Girls" button at the main management screen. The game will hang and simply stop responding, prompting a force close. This seems to happen when I've recruited or refused all the girls that are currently available (Basically emptying the recruit screen), but it requires testing.
Thanks, will look into it.

Hi, sorry if this has been answered before but does the game downscale 4k videos?
The vidoes become too pixelated for my taste..

4k videos do not play nicely with Unity's video player object, and the bloated filesizes make them less than ideal for a girlpack format.

Hi all, I just downloaded and istalled Happy Hour, have tranferred over my girlpack folder. Where are the 'saved' game files from the original Venus Club stored?

Thank you in advance and sorry if this question has been asked and answered.

Old: ...appdata/LocalLow/Tobe
New: ...appdata/LocalLow/Tobe_Disgruntler

Not sure if it's compatible though, quite a lot has changed since 8.1

What Nudho said. And yeah, it 'should' work but I can't guarantee it because old saves lack data entries and I'm not 100% certain loading will set things to a workable default or load them correctly at all.

Best you can do is try. I do try to keep save file continuity but sometimes mechanical differences are simply irreconcilable.

Game autosave after every day,Save just calls this method.

Are you using keyboard controls? If so, hit tab and it should switch who can/can't work.

I'm having the same problem. Several times I have to restart the game. When I put the girls to work, the go beneath the ui and don't do anything. I can't click on anything in that box anymore.

There is a long-standing known issue with certain girlpacks' videos causing this to occur. It's taken me a long time to solve out a workaround, which will be in 10.0. In the meantime I included keyboard controls partially as a workaround in case this should happen during a playthrough. However, I do need to make clear: This is at its core an issue with videos and encoding and the best I can do is provide a workaround within the code, which cannot be a perfect solution. I know it doesn't 'feel' like it is, but having observed and tested this behavior as well as in concert with others, we've identified that it is specific videos in specific packs.

Until then, I ask you to try to keep to girlpacks that don't have a delay before playing, and doing so should dodge this issue until then, or use up/down arrows/tab to select the spot and then qweasd to select the destination booth when this occurs.

If you are working in v 10.0, i suggest that include a "harder game mode" so the management part of the game takes more relevance. In the current version, it looks like, is hard enough at the beginning but then is really easy to earn money, rep, etc... maybe touching some values like girl's wages or loosing their abilities during time.
It s just a suggestion.
I would like to help you with the game but i bearly understand how to use the mouse.

I never had the issue at all with any pack before this version and I have played this game as many times as anyone who's not you. Also its happening with my own packs who nobody has ever (to my knowledge) ever pointed to as problems. It's definitely mouse-related (since keyboard hotkeys sidestep the issue) and based on your discussion about the hotfix I'm confident you've fixed it for 10.0.

Still it's happening often enough that it has become properly irritating.

EDIT: I thought it was random but I managed to replicate it. If you let the day end normally the functionality will remain correct. But if you end the day early, the booths will bug out the next day and every pack will bug it out. If you let that day end normally (using keys to have videos be active) functionality will return to normal but if you ever end the day early again it will bug out again until the day completes after the full timer.

This explains why it only seemed to happen when I switched to different game modes--or as I progressed past the early game since that's when I would start using end day for whatever reason.

These two bugs (or maybe it is one bug with side effects?) still appear in the latest game version 9.5:

1) Auto Pause when Zooming is not working (as might intended):
When the checkbox is active (checked) and I press the Zoom in Button, the Timer will not pause.

2) The game "forgets" the setting of the Checkbox Auto Pause when Zooming, that I have done in the previous workday. So whenever I start a new day, the setting of the checkbox is gone (unchecked).
Game Mode: Scramble with CJs
