Okay. Fully rested. Let's go to town. And thanks for the 60 - 70 day range to unlock everything, those who responded.

I've played the game a few times and no there isn't. Maybe in future update ?
@Sexums
1) I'd say by day 70-80 the first time I played i unlocked eveything (except 2 sex buddies that i missed) and when you redo the game you can maybe do it in 60.
2)I think the difficulty balance is fine, the game is not too easy but not hard either which is cool for a porn game, I don't think people wants to spend hours retrying because they fail. Especially if more content is coming up.
3) Intelligence even if you boost it in further update is not enough useful as it is right now, especially in early game when you are really low on money and can't expect luck event to help you out. Upgrading Int cost 100 and give no garantied income when strengh and charm can be for free sometimes and help you make more money rapidly early on. And later on if you have enough strengh (and you need that for jail and strip club) you can defeat the monster by force so Int become useless as well.
Maybe give it more perks ?
4) Some location can be hard to find (the church f.e) you should consider adding hints or a way to help you out if you are stuck or something. (Can be many things a spirit from hell, a local guy that you can pay or not
or just a help button xD)
5) Also the first time I played your game the intro art kinda give me a bad feeling about it. And i think the game should be attractive right away.
I don't think it reflect the "level" of your game. Especially the background for hell I found it kinda ugly.
I hope you don't take it badly but you know honest feedback is good feedback
Evrything else is great.
- I agree on Int, and I've been struggling to find more things for it to do. It helps make the sewers easier to traverse, but it also prevents monsters from showing up, which is, I think, the main draw for most people. I'll keep thinking about it.
- I'm actually considering sewing hints into the backgrounds, once I go back to redo them. Posters, perhaps, or subtle details like that. Which also works into your other comment on the 'ugliness' of some of the work. It's still pre-alpha, and my idea from the start was to create as much of the working content in the beginning, then go back and add the aesthetic shine once it reaches beta status, more or less. I didn't want to get so caught up on making it look absolutely beautiful that progress on the actual game mechanics slowed to a crawl. I probably will begin revamping the backdrops and character models in the next two to three weeks, though.
- Criticism is cool. I won't get anywhere without criticism.

I really should have said by day 80, occasionally I won't unlock everything until days 78-80
I agree, maybe a hint for the church, I didn't get that at all until I had money to burn and so then went gambling and lost enough times to trigger it. I've found that the best days to go at the sewers are when you have an extra stamina, at least until your stats are high enough to resist fucking everything. I'm curious why you get one charm for fucking the sewer lamia but lose charm for all the others, given that you quit when you are out of stamina...
The Charisma point is mainly just a joke. Have sex with monsters? People find you slightly less desirable as a hooker. Have lesbian sex? Well, that's kinda hot...

The $800 rent creates some problems because there are times I can't make that much in a day so it's *pay with body, so I won't be able to do sewers* issue. While that by itself isn't a problem, it does get annoying when I ALMOST get the 800...but not quite...
Will the shopkeeper have a bigger role or is she just *shopkeeper and that's it*?
Liked the new animations that I saw, keep it up!
When I test I don't have too much trouble with the $800 rent, but that's probably because I've played it so many goddamned times by now. I'll keep testing.
At first Mindy was going to only have the static in-the-shop role, but my patrons (and myself) like her enough that I'll probably give her at least a few animations. Might replace the brown-haired prostitute who pops up in some of the ability-related animations with Mindy instead.
