First of all, sorry for the radio silence. I've been working nonstop since last saturday on the re-skin of the game (changing the font, the sidebar style, background for pop-up dialogs, backgrounds for most of the screens, redesign of the dialog boxes, adding more portraits, etc....) and it's way harder than I thought at first, but I think you will like it. You'll have more news about this very soon.
Oli, thank you for you detailed feedback. I'll try to answer as best as I can.
For the fighting skills at the ring, it was amusing though I was sad that nobody came to help the MC with all the people we encountered on the first day
I know. My plan was releasing the partner training and the tournament in one go, but I had to upload that update for the fixes (especially for people with lower resolution devices). After I deal with the
bear game's makeover, I'll finish the gym content.
Since you've included a decrease to the stats, you should put a notice next to the stat (like last training was X days ago) or just a count down or up depending what you choose (next training or efficacity remaining).
Noted on the idea list, I could add a notification when there's one day left.
I don't know if the message concerning the state of the appart is frequent but I've seen it for the first time on the day of the rent. Since this stat is becoming so significant, you should think to move it under Sex Drive on the left.
You mean, the apartment's cleanliness? it's incomplete right now, you're supposed to get sick if you don't clean your apartment in weeks. But as it now, it's incomplete. But it will make sense once I do the health system.
We can work on saturday but it's the same as a week day. I was hoping for something different (like nude training, VIP clients...). So as of now, I prefer doing other things.
Yeah, I see saturday more to work optionally. The activities you suggest, are more fit for the level 2 of the job, since Ryan will become a VIP cleaner and he can do those activities. Now, having said that, VIP clients is a GOOD IDEA, and I could add a mission for that (for example, I still have to write Dalton's optional jobs)
My only problem is with the attitude stat : the only way to increase it is to help women in trouble at the mall (outside one option the first encounter with the 2 evolving relationships). It's too little since it decreases easily when you practice the kinks stats (one time with Clay in the basement of one of the clients and already -5, maybe more, I was too shocked by the number).
Yeah, attitude is a problem, and I need more scenes where we can take an approach that raise/lower the attitude stats. I'll keep in mind for the future JCS level 2 and 3 jobs, and I'm also planning random events on the map, and those might be good chances to implement that. And let's not forget the hospital either, where a doctor can help you with those stats. I'm aware of how hard is right now, and it's a priority too.
We can encounter Wade the first day at the gym or while training by yourself even if we never encountered him before. The same for the gloryhole or the restroom sinks, we can have sex with him even if we never encountered him nor have sex with him before.
Wade is a disaster as a character....and I realized it very late. It should have been like Mack, with his friendship rate and have a logical presentation...I'm going to have a long and hard look at this character. You can be sure of it.
The time doesn't move when we "Take a quick shower" and "Wait near the restroom sinks to see if someone wants some sex"
I fixed the quick shower on JCS, and the mall's restroom sex sequences. Time will move on 15 mins for the showers, 30 mins for sex. Thank you for reporting in.
Since you want to sell the condoms at 2 locations, there should be a difference between them (quantity, quality, flavor). Otherwise it's repetitive so not very useful.
The Bear's Den Clothnig Store shouldn't appear if there's nothing to do there yet. You could make us buy the "Suit and tie" if you want it to exist.
Condoms are a placeholder, but they will be useful once I start to implement the health system completely, and yeah, all stores are empty right now (with the exception of the convenience store, with the soap bars). I'm gonna dedicate an entire update to add more items to each store.
Bear's den will have some sense when the clothing system is working, but yeah, it's suffering the same as the other stores.
There should be a penalty if we go to bed too late (like you go to bed at 3AM and you're as fresh as if you go to bed at 00:00 when you get up at 8AM?)
You're a hardcore player, eh? just my kind. Another suggestion for the idea list, I never thought about that.
If you go to work at 9am, there's a message on the left saying you're late though you're just on time.
That is another case of me, and my weird wording. You're supposed to go to work between 8:00 and 8:59...if you get to 9:00 is counted as late. I changed the words on the notification to be more clear about this.
In the last sentence of some sex scenes, the icon is grey and not the character we have sex with (Louie, Brian or Marcus; cf files). There are 2 links at the end when we have sex with Brian (cf files).
And you have found a function that I didn't know it would work! when you get high stats on at least one of the sex skills, npcs should compliment you and the game would gave you skill bonuses on top of that. But the comments use the default portrait...and aren't making any sense on each sex situation...so I disabled the comments for now and left the extra bonuses. So if you see extra perversion gains, now you know why

. I have rethink that part.
I've got a message saying my relationship with Marcus leveled up but it's still at 100/100. It's to unlock the love stat or you want to increase the friendship stat?
Yeah, before I redesigned the friendship/romance part a couple of updates ago, going from a friendship to a romance was almost automatic...now it isn't (it will require some special events for each character, like dalton or Mack) so the romance stat is not supposed to start right away.
I found an error when we have sex with Roy (cf files).
Thank you for reporting in. The neutral dialogs had an error, and they were fixed.
There's a sentence when we distract Bob while waiting for help that seems strange. "like the fucker who did this to us a time ago". It should be "some time ago" or "a long time ago". Or my english isn't as good as I thought, sorry (cf files).
Hah, your english is way,way better than mine. I corrected that bit of dialogue.
With the apparition of the gym and the future police location, I hope we'll know what happened to Bob and possibly help him and the other victims
Bob ...
Concerning the rent event, I was thinking of a simple message like "rent due on x" but it could destroy your idea of event.
Unfortunately, yeah, I feel it changes a bit the idea of the event. Maybe I can rename it to Rent Payment day, or something like that.
You're glad to have started this dev log thread but we're all thankful you've shared your game with us.
And I'm glad you took all the time to play and give me this valuable feedback. Thank you so much
