couple ideas for a future update
It would be nice if visiting her wardrobe, Zara could strip naked and leave her room/roam the house naked (depending how high corruption is)
Have thumbnails on who's where in the house

I don't know the answer to who it is, but it is annoying when people post replies to questions without actually answering it.
hey thanks for the feedback! will definitely be adding more of both of these, even i love that kind of content!defently keeping an eye out for this one hope there will be more lesbian stuff
did the quest start and then nothing happen...? or did the quest not start at all?
hey, so when you get a corruption of 20, you can go to shops and then steal from the cash registers. that is when the hacking minigame comes up. it took two weeks for me to perfect it and it's honestly so simple
hey! the thumbnails suggestion is a great idea. the issue is that since my family system just checks the time range and then calculates a chance, they NPCs are technically not "there" full time. i would like them to be, but it would mean setting a fixed timeline for their activities... i think?
the nude roam in the house is an idea i have already put in the roster, i just want to finish some of the more important features before adding the auxiliary like this one.
thanks for playing the game! the PIN code is actually randomly set every time you start the hacking minigame. the game is basically Wordle but instead with 4 digts.

Here a thought, all the sleep sex encounters with dad would that lead to pregnancy?
In her dream, where is beach reality really at? Do they ever go?
It seems her body craves to go there, and she craves to suck her old man off.
Dream stuff could she not dream and pretend she is dreaming or have mini camera videocam who sleeping with her at night?
How come she doesn't do nightly visits?
Or visits old man at his work with donuts?
Prom queen title is more workaholic for allegiances. The person who attends most dances matters. Not just test scores. I noticed there are no dances in this story, and you don't allow dates, which crucial.

Please don't add pregnancy to this game, or if you must, add it as an option. In my opinion, nothing ruins a sex fantasy game more than pregnancy, unless the point of the game is to get pregnant.

Dont lisent!! Add pregnancy to this game.
That this option is optional seems fine to me. but you must add it! Please
That this option is optional seems fine to me. but you must add it! Please
yes! there are quite a few scenes. more will be added soon!
the yes pregnancy and no pregnancy debate has been going on for a long time lmfaoDont lisent!! Add pregnancy to this game.
That this option is optional seems fine to me. but you must add it! Please
but no, for now at least, i am not planning on adding any pregnancy content because of two reasons: i am not interested in that kind of content and there is a lot of more important features and other game elements that need too be added before i go for things like this.
so basically, right now, it's a no. but in the future it can definitely be added as an option to enable or not. i also have not played any games with pregnancy in it so Urza, please shoot me a DM here or on Discord about how pregnancy gameplay works in the games you have played so in the future i will have an idea how to implement it.
Interesting game, has potential. Here are some of my thoughts (I fully expect that there are plans in future updates to fix and/or implement some of the things I mention, but I'll note them regardless as they're my genuine impressions of the games current iteration).
There is no punishment for freeloading on the bus, or dine and dashing. There's no point in ever paying for them.
It's easy to forget what clothes you are wearing, I feel like a simple picture in the side menu (maybe even on your phone background screen) to show you what clothes you have on would help immensely. It'll also remove some frustration for example; When currently you go to a location like the gym, only to realise that now you have to exit the gym, go back to the Jecinda district, then go home, then go into your bedroom, then change clothes. It's a lot of backtracking, and with the continuous time increase for every action can punish you for a simple mistake.
Game is a bit grindy, part of the problem is things like webcaming and drawing are locked behind significant purchases. I feel like a good way to alleviate some of this is to add more progression in the activities. For example allow us to buy basic art materials for dirt cheap, then you can draw earlier in game but at reduced income and fans. Similar with webcaming, you could start off posting selfies online then once you gain enough fans you can progress onto webcam, then once you've gained enough fans again you can progress into shooting porn. Something to work towards that justifies buying the expensive items.
The Arabella District feels very empty, apart from going to the gym there's little reason to go there. Then once you max out your fitness there's no reason to go there outside of buying the occasional item. I can't help but feel there needs to be an option to earn money there, a shop that you can work at during the day and a nightclub to do things at night.
There should be a store to buy items like the dildo, I literally missed it in the webcam menu for ages as it didn't make much sense to be there, plus it blends in with the other options making it easy to miss when it appears as an option. An adult store would also make sense in this world and could open up more game play options.
Outside of school there's not much to do during the day, therefore there's no real reason to miss school. On weekends there's even less to do especially if you haven't unlocked drawing and/or webcam.
The hacking skill is interesting, but it's almost impossible until you have levelled up the computer skill significantly. I like the high risk, high reward aspect for shoplifting so I wouldn't change that. Instead maybe include lower risk hacking attempts where you can utilise the same mechanics, like breaking into other student lockers, or stealing from your family members. That way you can practice and level up your computer skill at the same time, instead of grinding away at school and reading books.
I'm not sure what plans you have for the science skill, but currently it doesn't affect anything (that I can notice) so there's little reason to study that class and just choose the socialise option instead. I feel like having maths class instead could offer more potential. You could make it the higher your maths skill, the more money you gain from activities.
On another note with the art, science and computer skills. It could be interesting to add in an event where every 2 or so weeks you need to sit an exam. If you pass the exams you gain reputation, if you excel in the exams you gain a bonus to your parents allowance. If you fail the exams you lose reputation and a decrease in your allowance and/or get punished by your parents depending on how badly you do. Then you can include options to bribe your teachers to give you passing grades, or cheat by paying or convincing fellow students to do your exams for you.
The story is very light on at this stage. I saw that you mentioned you want to include more features into the game before introducing any more story, but at the moment there's very little replay value. Once you've experienced said features once, there's little reason to continue as there's no payoff outside of levelling up your stats and making money. This also makes the game feel more grindy.
One thing to keep in mind when creating quests is that being the game designer, you will always know exactly what must be done to trigger said quests. This makes things skewed when testing and playing your game, as new players have 0 idea what to do or expect. If quests are subject to random encounters then you need to make it very clear what the player must do to progress, if it's not random then you can be more vague in telling the players how to proceed. Getting past the first few days and looking in the Quests menu only to see "Zara currently has no active quests..." is a bit demotivating.
I feel there needs to be more direct options for Zara when she wanders the streets, currently it's anything from a quiet stroll to sex work and the rng makes it all a lucky dip. Early game it's fine but I think a more satisfying solution is once you gain the slutty dress you get an option to literally work the streets after sneaking out at night. Something to help control some of the rng when you risk sneaking out, as currently if you get caught by your farther you will lose more money than you make if his corruption is too low. While risk v reward is fine a more direct option to choose what you want later in the game would be more satisfying.
More creampie visuals would be nice, there's money shots for blowjobs but not a lot outside of those. Female orgasms would also be a nice inclusion too, especially since the protagonist is a woman.

hey! thanks for such an in-depth comment on the game! dining and dashing and freeloading is now punishable in the following update which will be releasing in just a few hours, i.e, v0.2.5.
to fix this clothing problem, i was honestly thinking of adding a locker room to the gym where your outfit is stored and whatever you are currently wearing. because, the issue is that i dont want to overload the side bar anymore, in the new update yet to be released the side bar is a lot cleaner, which also means i dont want a scroll bar, an image would definitely cause a scroll bar to appear. i will do my best to figure out a solution.
i will look adding a cheaper option of art and camming but as for the next update, it might be impossible. i got exams coming up and then lot of college project work, it's my final semester so making sure everything goes smoothly in my college is more of priority than the game. im sure that's understandable.
im adding a new location to Arabella in the next update, which might take a while due to the reasons above as it's closely connected to the quests being added in the next update for Dick.
the science skill also comes in handy here and in the future mechanics being planned (hint hint: dick is a drug dealer)
yeah, i do need to work on some kind of examination gameplay but right now i got no idea what to do for it gameplay wise. i want my gameplay mechanics to be skill based rather than a roll of the dice. which is also why in future updates i want to change the struggle mechanic.
in the newest update (to be released, v0.2.5), the next quest requirements are displayed in the relationships section of the phone. talking to NPCs in their respective locations will trigger the quest just as that requirement is reached. talking to NPCs is no longer based on chance in this update either, you can talk to Dick in the park but limited to twice. but you can still meet him more than twice by chance while sitting on the benches.
again, this option is coming out next update, depending on the routes you take in quests, it will change which gets unlocked first. all of this next update talk is in writing only, hopefully implementation works just as smoothly
i will definitely look into adding creampie visuals! thanks for the suggestion
hope my reply was sufficient! i got a lot of ideas brimming in this noggin of mine and have a long future development path to bring the game of my visions true but things like college and other life responsibilities makes it tough to work on the game as much as i would like to
