Big picture
Added 2018-06-22 13:30:19 +0000 UTCThere are many kinds of sandbox games, so today I want to tell you about our vision of the game's future, what we're trying to accomplish and why we're spending so much time on the game's engine.
Imagine a bunch of gameplay options: going to the beach with an NPC, going to a night club with an NPC or NPCs (let's say from 1 to 3 NPCs), spending time in a cafe, or at home, or at their house. Gameplay mechanics like sex with one or two NPCs, a phone, mini-games like strip-poker. Now imagine all those things working together. Here's an example:
Player decides to call Sophie and invite her to go shopping. Sophie says she's going to the beach and Kate can join her, if she wants to. After agreeing (if you feel like it), Kate and Sophie go to the beach and start tanning. Then there's a chance they will be approached by Mike (or Alice or Ruby or Andrew, etc.) and they all have a conversation in which Mike asks Sophie and Kate (or only one of them, depending on relationships levels) to go to the club in the evening. Kate can agree and if she doesn't miss it, she'll go to the club with Sophie and Mike. They dance, flirt, drink, etc. At some point Mike invites Sophie and Kate to his house (or only one of them. Or Sophie is the one who invites everyone). Everyone goes to Mike's house and spend more time together. Maybe they open with playing strip-poker. Eventually the situation evolves into a threesome. If Kate knows sexual preferences of her partners, she can use that information to make their nights even better. Maybe someone will be left unsatisfied, maybe everyone will have a really great time. Let's go with that one. Kate can stay at Mike's or she can go home. Next morning she might get a text from Sophie about great last night with a naked selfie and invitation to the cafe. Kate can meet her and it might lead to something. Or maybe not, and they'll just spend some time in a cafe.
The important part is, it is not one scripted event, it's a bunch of game mechanics interacting with each other. Different events, different NPCs, different relationship levels, different possibilities. Players have a say, NPCs have a say, many possible outcomes. We'll be adding many activities and tie them together. This means juggling and balancing many different things, but we hope the end result is going to be more than sum of its parts.
Of course, this is a lot of work and sounds very ambitious, but we're sure we can do it. We don't want to make a game with N hours of gameplay, which you only play through once and then never pick up again. We want to make a game where there's always something to try. It's going to take a lot of time to do, but it's gonna be worth it.

We're you able to.move forward ? I am still stuck and have to find the clinic for the form.
2018-07-19 07:20:24 +0000 UTCI am playing version 4 and I can't figure out how to find a job, all she does is talk about a job with her classmates, all I can do is go to the first 2 classes and then talk to other classmates in the hall and that's it. Am I doing something wrong or is that all you can do in version 4?

2018-07-10 20:49:31 +0000 UTCThe game is in development. The specified functions do not work yet. But right now you can find a job that will be available with the next update.

2018-06-25 21:19:02 +0000 UTCNope...thats it. Nothing much to do so far
2018-06-25 18:27:50 +0000 UTCAs a $5 Patreon I am playing version 3. Am I supposed to see achievements and option on the load screens? Also, the only Icons on the top of the game screen are Character Info (which shows no info for any character I have interacted with), and the options icon. Am I missing something, or are the phone, purse, and alarm icons not supposed to be active? I have had no option for the job, and seem to be stuck in an endless loop after I have painted the basement?

2018-06-24 11:19:08 +0000 UTCAll the good ideas, unfortunately the wrong game to implement them. Glamor has zero potential, every minute of work you put into it is a waste of time. The characters are fucking boring and have no decent personality, this horrible dialog design takes that Play every momentum. It's just stinking boring during a conversation between the characters getting to see the same picture as well.It's a shame I appreciate your work, but you misconceive yourself into a pointless project, so I'll probably end my patron.
2018-06-24 02:14:32 +0000 UTCI have just paid $ 20 will there be some update of the game in this case

2018-06-23 11:27:00 +0000 UTCJust why not to try lead your modest pretty girl through all it "whore education" experimental college nightmare pure & true person?

2018-06-22 20:07:05 +0000 UTCThis sounds great particularly if you can work in various fetishes, just be careful not to end up with feature creep causing your project to never finish. Not that I'm thinking that will happen, it just sounds like it could get huge if you are not very careful.

2018-06-22 16:40:24 +0000 UTCДа, мы планируем полную симуляцию поведения различных NPC. Сейчас Юля толком ничего не делает, потому-что ещё нет занятий, но она уже может принимать решения. Аналогично будет и со всеми другими NPC. Если NPC не выспался после ночного клуба, он не придет в колледж и получит штраф. Если NPC1 нравится NPC2, то можно будет этому поспособствовать или же, наоборот, помешать. Частично это было реализовано в первом "гламуре". Здесь всё намного более гибко и возможности скриптов практически безграничны, поэтому мы так уверены в этой игре.
2018-06-22 16:04:07 +0000 UTCAs far as the far-reaching plans are concerned, the question is. In this sandbox, NPCs will be full members or just extras? Will the NPCs develop relations between themselves? For example, Katya witnesses a hot scene with Karina and Lucas. Or, Katya communicates with Sophia and Oscar, and in the end these two converge as a couple. Is this possible? ________________ Поскольку речь о далеко идущих планах, вопрос. В этой песочнице НПС будут полноправными участниками или просто статистами? Будут дли НПС развивать отношения между собой? Например Катя становится свидетелем горячей сцены с участием Карины и Лукаса. Или же Катя общается с Софьей и Оскаром и в итоге эти двое сходятся как пара. Такое возможно будет?

2018-06-22 15:19:24 +0000 UTCIf you proceed from the desires of developers, it is not at all a fact that you will find yourself on the beach. This is the essence of sandboxes with a random event. But if your heroine is on good terms or just satisfy the conditions, there may be more interesting situations. But still these are far-reaching plans. I think for now they will implement on a few possible actions, which means that the spread of random events will be initially smaller.

2018-06-22 15:04:30 +0000 UTCI love the idea and plain to be a long time supporter to the conclusion of this game if there ever is one. I was real sorry to see big brother end the way it did would like to have seen it have better closure but I think in the long run it is better that it is done as I think I will injoy this game much more. I just hope to see Ann in the game somewhere 😀 she was my reason for becoming a member in the first place

2018-06-22 14:19:42 +0000 UTCI always dreamed of making of a modest, pretty girl a lewd whore oh forgive the depraved bdsm whore after all there is still a remarkable cellar and straight not once after playing the game and playing months for years))) In general, a chic ex-experimental college only that's why the whores education? Just to get them there?
