Just gave it a play and really enjoyed it. Since everyone else is posting their wishlists, I guess I'll do the same.
Technically, I'd like:
- The highlight delay when mousing over objects to be more responsive.
- Scene transitions to be just a touch faster. While the game is fun, it felt like there was a lot of waiting to click at the start of a new day or evening.
Artistically, I'd like:
- The character faces to also represent the expression on the picture. I enjoy that the character continues to talk over the pictured activity. The differing looks create a slight disconnect when I see them flatly talking in the background.
- Before I go any further, HUGE KUDOS to the design of the clothes and different poses for each set. In the studio, all options should get the same level of engagement that the clothes do. If you 'wanna have fun', give the model a choice ranging from cute -> seductive -> slutty for the corresponding actions. Also, getting to incorporate the clothes into sex or toys would be great.
- This might just be me, but I'd love color indicative choices. Ex: Lewd responses= pink, Standard responses = blue, Agressive responses = red. In other games, it just kicks of a mental cue that makes me curious to explore other dialogue.
Character/Writing that I would like to see:
- The ending scenes do not feel like a reward for engaging those characters. I'm a writer myself and I was a little shocked at how the endings tried to tie up the story for a nice little 'completion'.
- Give each character a starmaker path. This creates a massive amount of oportunities to highlight differences between characters while showcasing strengths and insecurities. You can create colabs between people and have more reasons to spend your ever increasing fortune. Studio getting a little crowded? Buy a building. The biggest one I'm seeing other people bring up is a mesh of activity between Anna and Samantha. Thats brilliant. I'd write the fuck out of that.
- Lastly, I know its already been touched on, but the corruption characteristics could be dialed way up and for everyone.
Ex: Groping - what? no -> mmm, should stop -> Yes like that (at this point could trigger sex in private) -> I need it (trigger sex anywhere and public) -> secret unlock. Each of those responses could be locked behind an activity or gift requiring other actions and so forth.
I know the character progression is already similar as to what I've suggested, so its not anything unique, I'd just like it to be more tangible with clear shifts that might make the player go, 'oooh'.
