Problems(or maybe bugs)
Some of problems i will show on screenshots.
When i using bed - masturbate - keep quiet - using magic wand my character disappears. After this i can go to fuck Anna or fuck with son's friend or go to sleep, or go to take nap, or go change clothes, or cook food. All of this actions are without my main character on screen. To fix this problem i found 4 ways: 1)fuck with boss; 2) bed - masturbate - keep quiet - using finger; 3) bed - masturbate - be loud - using wand(or using finger); 4) Go take shower. Than my character reappear and i can continue game with he.
At night if i want to enter son`s room in normal outfit or other, message would be - 'My son is sleeping...' but if i change outfit to Nude we will be able to go into son's room and talk to him.
When i go to gym, after some time, it starts to have only 2 choices: 'Sure let's do it!' and 'I'd rather not' and when i choose i`d rather not game just stops on this moment and i need to restart game and load savings.Result:
- Sometimes I make a misclick and instead of take a nap to masturbate and masturbate do not have button back, then no back button in choices: keep quiet, i only can choose between using finger and using wand. Also this problem in choice be loud. There the same situation no button back. 2) When i accidentally go to the mall, i can not go back i need to open some choice and from there go back. Also choice Art Supplies do not have back button and every time i went there i need to buy body paint to go back, even if i took this choice unintentionally. Also, when i click the back button, it does not work properly instead of going back to the selection menu, i go back to the City location.
- A small problem is that after i bought a phone in a phone shop, phone shop has only 1 option - back. Why do we need this option? Also, the back button moves me to the City location.
- Skip function improvements. Add a skip break point before the drawed scenes. Also, I would like, instead of fast forwarding, immediately jump to the selection and to the scenes.
- Scene replay
- Diary Entries I still do not understand what the Diary Entries section is for. I have completed the game up to 70% already 3 times, but as before, more than 3 entries do not appear in it.
- Changes in the economy
- Map optimization and location optimization
- Calendar rework(from all medium changes this i want the most).
- HUD And although I put this change at the end of my list I consider this change to be the most important, so I will start the suggestions section with it.
5 Suggestions
HUD PROBLEM I THINK IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM! I am currently (at the time of writing this review) playing version 1.6 of the game. I think you already have plans to develop the game in versions 1.7 ... 1.9, maybe even 1.10 (I don't know how you number them, because in the devlog I saw update 0.7, then 1.0 and 1.11 to 1.1, although before that it was 1.01. So I don't know what the numbering of the updates is), but I think for these versions my proposal is unnecessary. In my opinion, it fits perfectly with the 2.0 update. I want to explain why this is important.
First of all, update 2.0 is a pretty big update that involves big changes to the game. My suggestion does not affect the game's story in any way, but it does significantly affect the perception of the game. And it is logical to make it only under a major game update. The nearest major game update is 2.0, of course my suggestion can wait until 3.0 or beyond, but I believe that just the 2.0 update is the perfect time for this update.
Why did I come up with this suggestion for improvement? Mostly I played the game on the computer through the browser (more convenient than downloading every time) and did not experience almost any problems, sometimes there was such a thing that I did not hit some markers, but it would not be a big problem if not for one but. I decided to play on a cell phone (mostly through the browser Mozilla, then tried through Chrome, but there are even more problems) and then it became quite difficult to play, not in terms of passing the game, but in terms of the game itself. One of the problems was when I started the scene with Anna, which leaves a black screen. I couldn't just exit and load a save (because there is no exit button in the game, I wish there was one for such cases). Of the problems that do not affect so much. Too small game area, compared to the HUD, on the computer it is not noticeable, but when I played on my phone, it brought discomfort. It was not always possible to hit the markers, if for example, markers shower, eating table, kitchen, leave home, go home, gym, office, college, tattoos more less convenient to hit, although sometimes caused difficulties, then here markers Mall, son`s room, bed cause difficulties with hitting. The biggest problem was with multiple choice choices, on the phone, they have too small an area, so I often had trouble choosing what I really planned to press. Also, as it seemed to me, almost all interface panels, which take up so much space, are extremely uninformative.
How do I see the solution? As for me, there is only one solution here. Redesign of the HUD, to a more informative one. The first problem is that it takes up too much space, even on a computer. I took measurements and the location of City occupies, approximately, a ratio of 12:13 with a full size of the game zone of 30:20, that is, out of 600 conditional checkered zones, the play area in which the plot of the game develops and all the game actions occupies 156, which is about 25-26% of the screen. At the same time, on the rest of the screen all this time there is information that is not so important as to occupy 75% of the screen. Of these 74%, the image of the main character occupies a ratio of 8:12 = 96, information about money, energy, income, calendar to this entire save menu and Diary Entries occupy 3 * 30 = 90. To this can be added the zone that is sometimes occupied by secondary characters, from the smallest Steve (6:9=54) to Marc with son (12:12=144). All this adds up to about 486 occupied space. That is, 114 conditional cells constantly occupy the playing space, while transmitting 0 useful information or any information at all. This is all under the condition of the largest location in the game, with a home location (10:8 (9 if you take into account the inscription Home)), the amount of occupied game space will be 15%.
The solution to this problem, as I see it The calendar should occupy the space that the phone currently occupies (that is, be located in the leftmost corner), under it you should place the expense counter, amount of money and energy, under them, the corruption counter will be located this will allow you to scale the map of the City location and the Home location in height (at the same time it will take up the available black space in width, which is not currently involved). At the bottom, as it was, there will be space for a dialog box. The phone can be placed on the right, under Diary Entries. All this will increase the size of the play area.
Button Back in Mall - Clothes for all Occasions, Sexy Store, Phone Shop, Drugstore, does not work as intended Art Supplies does not have button back In the mall, all buttons back should work like in the phone in the gallery button Close All stores in the mall add a leave button, like in a tattoo (in fact, this is how the Back button works, and you can just rename it)
In Art Supplies, after purchasing Body paint - clean them up exactly like the Phone, after purchasing in the Phone Shop (or as condoms in the Sexy Time Store) In mall instead of throwing away from Clothes for all Occasions, and other shops immediately after the purchase, leaving it in the same section where I was, suddenly I need to buy something in addition to what I bought. In order to leave there will be 2 buttons (Back, Leave)
To remove a tattoo, you need to pay money
After buying a piercing, you can both take it off and put it on for free in the tattoo.
In tattoo after piercing or tattoo instead of throwing away from tattoo leaving in the same section From small changes to big ones
I do not like corruption system. I think this system is not correct. First of all, the progress bar, when you know how many % of the game you played, it's not cool. I believe that it is better to remove the progress bar and % instead there will be abstract points that will be accessible. That is, instead of conditionally 60%, it will be just 60 points. Of the advantages - firstly, it will allow you to constantly update the game with new content without changing the player's progress and saving, for example, now I have completed 61% of the game, if tomorrow an update is released, then this will mislead me, in both cases: if my % does not change, I will think that nothing new has been added but if my % drops, for example, to 59%, I can think, that either did not survive, or some kind of bug with the update. If it is some kind of points, then it will give interest to always try something new in the game, even if it has already brought points.
2 What I don't like about the corruption system is the scoring system, while I was writing feedback and playing I probably found a bug (not sure if this is true, but after going through the Steve line, when the main character can get naked, I can go in naked and chat with my son until % corruption reaches 61%, although I think it should have given so many points, Only after getting a tattoo and piercing, as well as if you take a shower when your son is in the room with a friend, you can go into your son's room, but the friend will not see and there will be a dialogue between your son and me, but from the point of view of the logic of the game, it is not logical, because at this moment there should also be a friend). I think the scoring system should be redesigned! At the beginning of the game, the level of corruption can be raised to 16% by masturbating with a finger, for this you need to do this 7 or 8 times. It's boring, I think, first of all, you shouldn't give so much % for 1 action. It would be more fun if, for example, they gave 3 points for 1 time, for 2 2 for 3 1, and then you had to look for other ways, for example, by changing clothes, it would also be good if all costumes gave a certain number of points (also, by the way, I think that after 3 times you stop giving points), but each clothes could be used to get points at a certain level of corruption points, Then clothes such as pajamas or bikinis will finally be useful not only for photos on the phone, but also for the plot, for example, pajamas can be used at 0 points and will give 1 point each time, Sport Costume at 5 points and each time will give 1 point, underwear from 10 points and bikini from 15 points, lingerie from 20 points, onlyfap contributor from 25 points and gives 2 points each, cow costume from 30 points and also gives 2 points, and Nude can be used from 35 points and gives 3 points (3 times, and also 3 points for piercings and tattoos, a total of 15 points can be obtained), as well as additional points can be obtained for meeting with a friend of the son in these costumes, but the conditions of the meeting will be with a coefficient of 2, that is, if it would be possible to communicate with a son in pajamas with 0-1 point, then with a friend of a son from 2, for 1 meeting they will give 1 point (the maximum is also 1 point) in Sport Costume at 10 for 1 meeting they will give 1 point (the maximum is also 1 point), underwear from 20 points for 1 meeting will give 1 point (the maximum is also 1 point) and bikini from 30 points for 1 meeting will give 1 point (the maximum is also 1 point), lingerie from 40 for 1 meeting will give 1 point (maximum also 1 point) points, onlyfap contributor from 50 points for 1 meeting will give 2 points (maximum also 2 points), cow costume from 60 points and gives 2 points and nude can be used from 70 points and gives 3 points (and also 3 points for piercings and tattoos, a total of 9 points can be obtained). Also, it's a good idea to give another 1 point for going outside in different costumes. Just like with a meeting with a son's friend, only the coefficient instead of 2 will be 4. That is, it will be possible to go out in pajamas at 4 points, in a tracksuit from 20 points, underwear from 40 points and bikini from 60 points, lingerie from 80 points, onlyfap contributor from 100 points, cow costume from 120 points and Nude can be used from 140 points (it will still give, the same numbers of points, but this will increase interest in scoring). Of course, in order to harmoniously fit this into the game, you need to recalculate everything that is currently in the game. I made such a recalculation by simply multiplying all the conditions by 2 (the examples are simple: fuck your son's friend loudly in the room - 35%, it is logical that after you fucked your son's friend, you can appear naked in front of him, so when he comes to us, you can enter the room naked, but if you remove %, then it will be only 35 points, and 35 points are very easy to get, and both in terms of the description of the game and the interest in the game, it is that "Who knows what kind of stepmother i will become", that is, with this number of points we immediately indicated that we want to play like this, but this is not so, it is not cool when you can complete 35% of the game in the first 4-5 game days. But 70 points is not too long, but it will make you play a little more and there will be no feeling that the game is moving too fast. Full recount: blowjob boss 30 points leave it like it is 40 points, fuck boss with condom 70 points, no 80 points, fuck son's friend 50 points, fuck son's friend loudly 70 points, fuck Anna in the gym 40 points, bring her home and fuck there - 60 points
Perhaps new content in the gym or just an improvement related to the gym and new content with Anna:
If you go to the gym in order to have sex with Anna, then you can enter the hall in normal clothes.
To start working out in the gym, you need to register, after which the administrator or Anna will inform you that you need to buy sports clothes to go to the gym training. This is a more understandable explanation than just the game will say this in the dialogue window. I would like one of the locations of the gym, but at this stage of the game (the location itself is unnecessary), but I would like to get a new job (as a gym trainer). New content with Anna!
I like story line with Anna, and to this line I would like a few things to be added: 1 new toys were added to the sex shop (strap-on, double dildo and other toys so that you can choose) with these toys and Anna, new scenes could be done (for example, for Anna to strap us; for us to strap Anna; for Anna to strap us while her son is watching; for us to strap Anna, while the son is watching; for Anna to strap off her son while we watch; so that we strap our son while Anna is watching, scenes with other toys, double dildo with Anna). It would also be interesting to take photos with toys, it would also be interesting to take photos for our onlyfap together with Anna (for example, with Anna in the gym, with Anna with toys (different, that is, different photos) with Anna in costumes (the same) with Anna in costumes (for example, each has a different one). Also, promoting the topic of onlyfap it would be interesting that we could make our son become our cameraman, as well as make Steve become a cameraman, and choose between them who will film us on camera. It's also a good idea to move in with Anna, or rather for her to move in with us, to settle her in our room (and add the opportunity for her to have group sex Anna Mark and we (in our room, there may be several scenes, the son can watch us in our room, the son can listen behind the wall or if it's after as the son left the house, then the scene without the son)).
I would also like to add to Anna the house that she rents and that we have a choice whether to go to her house or to us (this will allow you to add new characters or connect existing ones)
Economy: I believe that the phone should be one of the main game elements. It should not cost $300, its price should be $100, but to use it, you need to pay a bill of $10 every 7 days (from the date of purchase) for communication and Internet (this will be an additional incentive to earn money). You also need to add food to the store that you will need to buy and eat (also add a hunger counter, when you haven't eaten for 4 days in a row you need to withdraw $ 50 for medical care), this mechanic should make you use the kitchen, not just for scenes, but as an element of the game, as well as with some elements of food (bananas, carrots, cucumbers and more, It will be possible to give the main character a choice: just cook or masturbate with them (for each type that is suitable for masturbation, give 1 point of corruption(maximum 2 points, to get 3 points, you need to eat yourself, to get 4 points, you need to add to your son's food)
Other elements of the game: The simplest thing you want, sometimes at night, when the son is sleeping, on certain corruption levels, to spy on the son's room, to enter the son's room quietly (he will not notice this and it will be possible to spy on him, in both cases it will be possible to masturbate, spying on him) it is desirable that on some days he really sleeps, and on others he does not (or this is when we brought him).
Map optimization. New characters, an administrator and 1 or more trainers in the gym, a courier, school principal, school bully, landlord (with him you can implement an interesting mechanic - postpone the payment for the apartment for a week for sex with him (but at the same time the amount accumulates, After 3 times, he cleans up the day and so on until you need to fuck with him every day, after paying the full debt, he resets the counter, but not to the end, but 1 day less, that is, if at the beginning of the game, you could fuck and do not pay for 7 days, then 6, then 5,...1, then after paying the debt, the counter is reset, but not to 7, but to 6, then to 5 and so on until 1, if you refuse to fuck and refuse to pay, then he will evict us)), the owner of a food store (may be Anna's mother), the owner of a sex shop, the owner of the Art Supplies store (possibly Steve's mother/father), and the owner of the Mall just rich.
Spent a lot of time on feedback, but I'll be glad if it helps to improve the game.
If you agree with any point, then write so that I can describe it in more detail.
And i hope that some of my suggestions will help improve the game. Thank you for working on the game
