Alright. I finished this current update. Here are my thoughts. Sorry if these are long, I just want to get all of my opinions out.
- I miss the original "fetish porn" images. It stinks that there is only one of them now. I particularly miss the one with the ribbons, since that one felt unique.
- I like the adventure option. It's a good way to either get early money at the potential cost of corruption (if you're in the early game) or a good way to get rid of excess corruption (if you're in the late game). As you mentioned previously, if someone wanted to do a "pure route," adventure would probably be their go-to option.
- When you update the café, could you add an image associated with the option where Furina only wears the apron? It feels like there should be an image associated with that one, but there isn't.
- I didn't say this with the last demo, even though this also applies to that one, but I really like how when you lose and Furina gets all out of whack (whether it be from depression or corruption), the game doesn't instantly boot you back to the title screen. That's really helpful for stopping people from losing all of their progress.
- At the bottom-right corner of the "adventure tavern," there is a little bit of incomprehensible text that came from the ai generation.
- I think that the one image in the normal advertising photoshoot when Furina is doing a squat might be a little lewd for an advertisement. (this is a joke)
- The "fetish porn" option displays the incorrect amount of stamina required. It says 5, while it really costs 10.
- I feel like the images used for both the "escort" and "hookup" option should just be used for one of them, since Furina gains happiness during the "hookup" option but she loses happiness during the "escort" option. Despite this, she looks sad during both. Plus, I miss the original image, since she looked happier there.
- I feel like the normal corruption drug and normal happiness drug are kinda useless. You gain money so fast that there's really no reason to get the normal ones at basically any point.
- I'm still not sure what the "side effects" of the drugs are. Has that been added in yet?
- I have no notes for the "porn movie" and "bikini photoshoot" options. The images used for those are very good.
- I'd personally add more images for the "naked photoshoot" option. Two is just not enough in my opinion.
- Sometimes, the "go on an adventure" option crashes my game. It's never crashed before this point. I think it might have something to do with the images.
- [This one is for the future, not the current build] You don't have to add this if you don't want to, but I'd like to know more about the bosses. Who exactly is this "Charlotte" and what are her goals? She knows Furina from her past, which can lead to some interesting story opportunities. Her being the only other named character in the game right now makes her feel more important than she currently is. I mean, the manager of the café doesn't have a name or a face, making Charlotte seem a lot more important. Maybe the ability to talk to Charlotte/the café Manager and maybe even romance them(???) could go a long way to making the world feel more lived in. Getting to know your boss seems like a normal thing to do during work, right? Also, if you want to go down this route, maybe there could be a chance that one of your bosses shows up while you're drinking at the bar, since right now there don't seem to be any perks to alcoholism that can't be achieved by eating fast food, which also doesn't even increment your corruption.
- I thought of another idea. Right now, it’s easy to get way too much money in like 10 days no matter which route due to the fact that you can easily get $400 per day adventuring. So, to fix this, maybe you could add a weekly rent/tax thing where you have to pay a set amount of money every seven days or else you instantly lose. This would definitely make players think about money more, and isn’t that the point when Furina is supposed to be somewhat poor?
Keep up the good work, luminara! I am excited to see this game grow.
