More Male Customization, Progress Report and Quick Roadmap
Added 2018-11-23 19:39:14 +0000 UTCHey all.
Pretty busy lately with all the fixes. Before going on I want to fix all the bigger bugs and annoying gameplay stuff so we'll have smooth ride later on. That doesn't mean I'm doing just that.
New thing I added is more variety for guys. New haircuts, head shapes & some new outfits. As you can see in the video there are now same customization options as girls have.

Now your dude can also look like a rainbow.
As for the quick roadmap. Plan is a dev version or 2, then stable release around christmas. For some nice holidays.
I'm gonna put a POLL later for $5 Patreons what you all want for christmas update.
--- POLL CHOICE 1 ---
- New sex positions. We need more fucking going on.
- Some random events across the city. By clicking around you'll get a surprise now and then. Also some new story events and locations.
--- POLL CHOICE 2 ---
- Company Revamp. You can only shoot movies now. We're gonna expand that to pictures, selling merchandise, taking contracts, redoing the website and more. Making website your primary source of income.
- Managers. Ability to assign your employees to managerial position. Different employees will have different manager skills. You'll get bonuses for different departments(marketing, production, staff, online,..) and some + points from employee you put on that position.
---------
Definitely in the next DEV version, not necessarily in the stable...
-Girl skills simplifying. Make it more simple coz nobody is using them. Most likely randomly allocated perks which girls get at certain levels. So if you're lucky you'll hit a jackpot girl or be pissed why she couldn't get that one perk you need so bad.
-Removal of popularity penalty(PP). It's there just for preventing you to shoot with 1 girl forever. Since the introduction of happiness, it can replace PP pretty nicely. You won't have to deal with it no more. Just watch 1 thing, how happy the model is.
-----
After above is done..
- Relationships. This includes your GFs/BFs and employees. It's too easy to fuck everyone so you'll have to do something for it. Maybe destroy whole office chemistry by assigning new girl to manager just because she sucked your dick.
- Here we are already in v0.8, so some mansion building, events around that, drama with people living there, parties... Will work nicely with relationships. Complete Hugh Hefner experience.
All that + refining stuff we already have. Retirements and dealing with that. Contract models and extra stuff you can do with them. Not just money saving.
Then we're gonna do some rival companies and competing with them, stealing models and all that.
That's about it for some short term plans.
As always thank you for the support. I really appreciate it.

Simbro's draw was the corruption aspect. Picking up a chick in a bar. Turning her to prostitution. The special events. Like the nympho at the bank and the Biorobot portal. But there has to be build up. Not so mind numbing as JRPG's take to get there. But more than one or two passes.

2018-12-02 01:42:16 +0000 UTCCrossed my mind yeah. I could easily just transform whole game into brothel management. I mean almost everything could stay the same, you just handle whores instead of pornstars at your office. But i doubt everyone would jump aboard just because gameplay. Having some story wouldn't hurt, even if it's simple shit like simbro. Simbro also had a lot of exposure in the past, nowhere near what i have. By putting some effort into marketing/shilling i could potentially bring more people, but i don't really have time for that. Turning PA into porn is a good idea. Was already suggested before. I'll make something when we reach v0.8x

2018-12-01 11:00:53 +0000 UTCSo since Simbro is dead. Have you considered adding a brothel option. Some Corruption events. Like turning a PA to porn? Have a Brothel on the side as extra income.

2018-12-01 01:57:04 +0000 UTCMaybe something left just as a failsafe. You do have control now, but I'm sure you choose the same 3 skills for every girl. Some of them are pretty useless, others might be too good. I was thinking that model would get first perk at lvl 4/5 and (chance for) a second one at lvl 9. Which also means that potential have to be high for them to reach this point. I don't know, we'll see when we test things around.

2018-11-24 09:22:43 +0000 UTCSuper smart changes re: happiness vs. popularity penalty stuff. Though might still be worth keeping PP around if you release a scene with the same girl more than 2-3 times a week? Also I do like the ability to shape a girl's skill points the way I want, but maybe a random skill path that can always be maxed out for enough $ would be good. Higher potential means cheaper stat points. Anyways, loving the game so far! Keep up the good work!
