Did a quick test run, some notes.

-From the intro, the first sex scene has you think " Your dick is probably in the wettest pussy in the western hemisphere " while the gif is of you fucking her in the ass, followed by her getting pissed at you coming inside her and needing some Plan B while the gif is an anal creampie.
-At Greystone, if you go to visit the support staff, there's no link to take you back out of that area, you have to use the "Go Home" button in the sidebar.

I appreciate the advice lmaoo. I was just trying to be comprehensive and place it as more of a trigger warning...I guess some people went ahead and got triggered
i was more annoyed at the "OPTIONAL" part being a lie.

i saw the tags and knew it was in the game but assumed i could avoid it since once again it was supposed to be optional.

the problem seems to be you didnt consider it NTR because she was someone you intended to get rid of and by that logic honestly she should never have been there in the first place.

THAT being said. i decided to give it another go and just skip it to see what else goes down and now im more annoyed at the fact we dont really get alot of choices regarding who to hook up with.

for example we cant avoid being blackmailed by not choosing to bang that one chick and then being recorded.

Played a bit until the NTR part (mostly to see what is the fuzz about NTR. Never played one before)... and uh... true, the scene can ve avoided, but not the fact that your (ex) GF cheats on you, so NTR may be unavoidable, because it's how the plot starts. And now I see that NTR is not my thing.

Many harem fans will be upset and go haywire (even though that girl probably won't be part of the harem) only because of this, but do not be discouraged with the lashback, keep going dev, make the game you want. Maybe you'll want to warn about the NTR part at the intro, just for transparency.

Now, a little suggestion: change the font, sometimes it's hard to read it alongside the background. For a game that has a strong text component (like mine), you must start to investigate this right away.

Hello.

The samples and summary made me come. And the result is correct.

The worldbuilding is limited but fitting.
The characters are few and different.
The plot is interesting.
The photos/gifs are well chosen.

We find a job, meet new people and start to change our life. The flow of events seems natural but maybe everything is happenng too quickly. Trust should be built more before it can bear fruits. The same with sex (outside prostitutes).
It was well done. It can be tedious sometime (the hints aren't always clear like "Feel free to do what you'd like, just make sure to at least show up to work and trade in every morning." : and ? how many times? I was starting to think I made a mistake since it took me 2 weeks at least to trigger the next part). If we have to go somewhere to continue the event, there shouldn't be another link (for example here : 1685072690229.png
We just need to go to the trading floor. The others delay the following scene for no reason. And it happened almost on every scene, even in the introduction ( 1685073151571.png
If we click on Accounting, the scene repeats infinitely. It's useless and a bad design).
You certainly did a lot of work but the presentation is plain and simple and lack of originality. The relationships screen needs to be organized better. There should be an inventory for the items we have.
You've created a free roam environment but there's not much to do (gym and cabaret). Furthermore, many locations are empty (there's even one at work with a black screen).
The tips we get aren't always clear (for example, "Sudden increase in demand for lube causes global shortage of palm oil" is supposed to represent what category? Materials? Industrials? Healthcare? Another one? As someone with no idea how trading works, I'm always at a loss).
The sex scenes should be standardized : there's one in which we can chose the position (by the way, they shouldn't be the one below the other since it takes too much space and we have to roll down) but most of them just happen. Also, thanks for including some sharing.

The numbers of the physique stat can become strange like that 1685074671009.png .

Here, if we don't use the Uber and go there ourselves, the game doesn't take it into account (well, it's not that big of a deal since it doesn't cost anything but, if you give us the route and we follow it, the game should know we didn't take an Uber).

There are some spelling errors left.

The base is good but it needs to be more polished and some personality. Otherwise, it's just another adult game.

Good continuation.

How do I avoid the insider trading I don’t do trades but the Adriana and Alina quest still happens and I win anyway.
So that scene is basically only available in the free play mode. I wanted the story to progress kinda quickly so the game didn't become super rote

Hey, I appreciate you for giving the game another try. I do want to say that I read ALL the feedback, and 0.02 already fixes a lot of the bugs and issues people had.

I have basic story lines already written about some of the characters, but I wanted some of the patreons to vote on whose story we should write first. It doesn't really make sense for the MC to have a harem while he's still a little fish on Wall Street, but I want a little bit of resistance as you build your Harem. I've had issues with some games where I just kinda roll my eyes when Female Pornstar Character #7 magically bends over and joins your harem within 30 seconds of meeting you.

Yo where do i buy the suit ?
So a link should come up on the page to take you to the story. If not for whatever reason, you can just go to Brooklyn and you'll find 'Elysian Emporium' (prefix name might be slightly different I forgot what I named it).

I set a hardline for myself to release the game, because I was just kinda procrastinating while working on minor code shit, I had to really fight my perfectionist tendencies to release the project. I figured it was easier to just release the project and go through the trial by fire to find any major bugs I couldn't find.

Thanks for the review! One of the first fixes I've done in 0.02 is I've reworked that bit of the introduction, because I kinda realized that no matter what your preferences are, you do get cheated on. These fixes should solve 90% of the concerns that everyone has. I don't even personally seek out NTR content, but I wanted the game to be realistic. If you do live a life that the MC has, the odds of your relationship lasting are exceedingly low.

As for the text question, I got one earlier review about it, and I def need to look up how to do that. If there is like a JS fix that let's users just change the font in the introduction, I would be very glad to hear it, feel free to DM

Thank you for the in depth review!

Your the first person to comment about the progression, which is good, because I wasn't sure how the pacing was. I'll see what I can do to space out the events more, just so the game progress doesn't seem as rapid.

I'll see what I can do about the hint. Hints like that are typically timers, which I'll might make more explicit in the future.

As for the linking, it might be a necessary evil due to future game storage issues. The architecture of the game is optimized for many unique scenes, some of which occur in the same physical location. If any coders have any advice on how I can modify my code, I will always listen to suggestions in the DMs!

Ah yes, the Infinite Accounting Bug haha. That was one of the more recently developed parts of the game, and part of the reason why is because this is technically the first "mini-storyline", in the process of recruiting her into your harem. This was absolutely a major oversight which will be fixed in 0.02!

The majority of my time for 0.01 was spent on creating the story, brainstorming future ideas, laying the groundwork for the widgets I'll use, and basically creating the framework that I can use to rapidly develop future parts of the game. As this is just the first release, there isn't much else besides the main story shit. Future releases will include more content in new areas, along with future content in the Gym and Cabaret.

If you are having issues with the trading terminal, that should be fine, as you're allowed to use one insider trading tip per week. Some of the fun in previous games that I've played has been figuring out how to use the mini-games. However, I didn't want mastery of the game to be required for story progression, which is why insider trading exists.

I agree the sex stuff needs to be standardized, and future version will accommodate that. I just wanted to get this release out as a litmus test, so I apologize if it is a little rough around the edges! Future releases of the 'Sex Page' will be majorly reworked!

Dammit I thought I fixed floating point issues lmao, must have missed that as the Physique content was some of the most recently developed things. The majority of the bugs exist in this part of the development cycle haha.

Yeah I figured I didn't have time to write the 'user not taking the Uber' functionality out, which is why I highly suggest the user to take the ride haha! It'll be fixed in 0.02.

Dang if there are specific areas where you see spelling/grammar errors please DM me. Unfortunately in the software, there is no spell-check, I'll try to write content out in a text editor in the future. Other than that, I appreciate the detailed review a ton, it's reviews like this that really improve the quality of future releases!

I get that scene even in story mode
Try doing nothing in Free Play mode, except waking up and going to sleep for a week straight, don't even show up to the office, and then Friday Afternoon, head up to the Executive Floors. If that still doesn't work, I would suggest that you join the discord and I can help you there, or we take this convo into the DMs.
