Is there NO way to win the T-Shirt contest in 10 days?

I've tried every combo I can do but it seems that with Fuckability being so limiting, you can't make it in time and there's no regards for high Charisma and high Cleanliness.

Screw it, I'll try out the rest of the game...

I also never even saw a way to increase morality.


Yeah, what's the deal? You're in hell. Suddenly you're going full Amelie in the game?

Actually, I believe there is a way to cheat the game a little. Whenever you do a job, you get the option to keep working. By spamming it, you can work more that you should with your energy, meaning you'll earn more money per day. This also tends to make the energy gauge to appear full in the main menu, but it is to be expected since you're not supposed to work like 7 times per day. With a lot of money, you could probably buy several courses to increase Fuckability. Of course, this is not an intended feature, and I believe you're not actually supposed to win the first wet T-shirt contest.

So, having assumed it is aimed at me, I tried this (and other games that have similar themes) and found a game where you are a girl and basically get dudes to bang you. I stopped shortly after starting, because if there's one thing I am not looking for as a strait male, it's a game where I'm looking to bang dudes. Don't misunderstand me.. I'm not trying to put the game down and I'm not trying to put anybody down. I simply don't get it and I'm curious to gain some understanding.

Is this a game aimed a women? It doesn't really seem as if it would be. Is this something that appeals as a fetish to some men? Pretending to be a woman and having sex with men? It does seem as if that's something of a homosexual fantasy (not that that's a bad thing). Is that who this is aimed at?

If anyone has some insight, I'd like to hear about it. I'm not being facetious. I may just be too vanilla and sheltered to get it.



I'm a straight woman and I only play these kind of games if they have a female protagonist. I'm really glad they exist in the first place - 99% of Japanese xxx games have a male PC. Please don't discourage others from making them! I would love it if there were a lot more of them. That being said, this game was fun for a short while but the repetitive grinding gameplay turned me off and I got bored :P

I agree with this reply, but the original post kind of confuses me. Isn't this kind of exactly what we do in Legend of Krystal / Elana / Dusty's Castle / Mario is Missing / A Girl and Her Dog / Noxian Nights and the huge majority of the games here? A female protag that gets a lot of action, and often you're advancing the story by doing just that. I'm also more focused on the female perspective personally, but why wouldn't you as a man just imagine you're either WATCHING (like you are) or that you're one of the dudes?

If that's impossible for you, I suppose you can go to games like Brothel Sim and Last Soverign though.

More on topic though: I really liked the start to this game, the art style is really unique and I enjoy the job grindy stat stuff. Frog man is actually my favorite, and even I can't explain why. I had some pretty bad problems with lag trying to do the dungeon crawling though, so I didn't get far in there.

I really wish there was sound if there was anything that I could complain about is that. I can barely get into it when it's just dead silence. Otherwise really enjoying the project so far keep up the fantastic work!

Questions of whether it's weird to play as a girl aside...

Morality is a special mechanic that will lead to a secret ending. As of now there's no way to increase it, and even if you could it wouldn't do a blessed thing.

Can verify. Just fixed that today, alas, so it won't work when the public reaches 0.8.5. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Compliment!

You'll like 0.8.0, then. Froglord gets three endings and, like, six new animations, off the top of my head.

I've heard a few complaints about dungeon lag. It's tough for me to work it out because it doesn't seem to bother everyone, and my computer is strong enough that it can apparently process the place without any trouble. Does the game lag anywhere else? And how powerful is your computer? Without knowing anything else the only thing I could suggest is maybe updating your version of Flash, though I have no idea if that'll help.

Also, new build, y'all. Check the devblog for 0.6.0. Mainly aesthetic, but people like aesthetics in porn games.

Hmmm...

The farm and the outpost both have the same stats write up in Megahot:

+1 STR
+1 Char


But they get different numbers in Cleanliness?

Zombie Farm - (-1) Cleanliness

Outpost - (-2) Cleanliness


I kinda have to scratch my head on this one... The outpost doesn't have zombies which rot faster making you more smelly and if it's hot, the heat should be more severe on the Outpost, but wouldn't it be better for another stat for Zombies so as to not cause confusion? If anything, I'll pick the Zombie Farm over the Outpost in Megahot unless I'm focusing on something else.

Also, the texts during the camwhore scenes is hilarious...

Okay, so 0.6 still has the Darkly bug that's on page one.

You lose

+2 Strength
-1 Intellect
-1 Spirit
instead of

+1 Charisma
+1 strength
-2 Class


You've all been warned...

Edit - Okay, so I got to the glory hole on the site and after the intro with JizzBiz the game just crashed.

Wished I'd have saved my stuff, but I'll be damned if it didn't just go down... And while I was writing this, it came back up... Dat load time though...

Introduction to the back alley? You spelled "PRETENSE" wrong...

Mindy -
I just figured I could... I dunno, not hide the PRETSENSE that I'm doing other jobs, when I'm really just...


Oh, and the Wet T-shirt contest when you win:

Satan -

Congratulations, PC! You are won the festival! Love dem titties to no end!

- Pretty sure that's the job I fixed for this one's Patreon build, so expect it for a month from now? Not catastrophic, at least. If I'm wrong you can verbally flog me.

- 'Pretsense' is a fuck-up, admitted. 'You are won the festival' is deliberate, because I like retarded netspeak from time to time.

I don't have my specs offhand but my computer runs Fallout 4 and MGS5 on the ultra settings, so I'd be pretty floored if this was drawing more demand than those. I haven't noticed much lag anywhere else. I run in Firefox typically, so perhaps that could be a culprit?

I had some lag in firefox here until I downloaded it and ran it in a standalone player. Also there seems to be a lot of the jobs not giving the proper bonuses/penalties. I think it's more than just one job, but I need to doublecheck. It wasn't my main focus but I felt like it was happening a lot. Maybe I just didn't notice the monthly job changes in time, I'll check again. The months/seasons go by pretty quickly.

Ghosting Guard duty says:

Guard: +1 Prowess, +1 Charisma, -1 Cleanliness, -1 Class
but gives:
Guard: +1 Prowess, +1 Charisma, -1 Cleanliness, -1 Durability

As mentioned:

Darkly Guard duty says:

Guard: +1 Charisma, +1 Strength, -2 Class
but gives:
+2 Strength, -1 Int, -1 Spirit

Also unlocked the glory hole in Darkly and using up all your stamina there will show that you have full stamina on the main screen/menu (Even though it says you're out of energy if you try to do anything)

I take it a URL key was added, eh? Noticing I can't run this locally anymore, that isn't going to help with your dropbox situation...

EDIT: Scratch that... Just don't load in Internet Explorer anymore, still loads in Firefox.

I'm not sure I get the part about bonuses while Mindy is in a good mood... It says if she's pissed, "cheer her up first". How exactly are we supposed to cheer her up, it's not like I've seen any details regarding actions that raise mood? Is mood maybe gauged by one of the existing stat bars?

I wish you'd make a real "hard mode" for both this and soocubus.

What I mean by "a real "hard mode"" is the player cheesing every aspect of the game to simply survive.

For Soocubus I've been hacking the game and starting at like day 40 for a higher rent with 0 bonuses so I barely avoid the marriage ending.

Simply Mindy is currently a simple grind your stats to reach your desired ending game. 0 Challenge.

Iunno I guess it's personal preference. I like games where you struggle just to survive for the first half of the game. Anyways great game.

Oh and I don't know if it's just me but Mindy looks less asian and more... manly. Maybe it's because she's not a sprite but a real drawing. Iunno.

Only gripe I have about this game so far is it lacks roguelike functions thus far; Soo Cubus has these to some degree (although it's mainly just luck of the draw on jobs with varying successful completion requirements based on stats). I assume these will be factored in later in the game, but as I was playing it last night, I noticed I was looking at a similar situation to playing Long Live The Queen, which led to my writing this review. The grinding obviously doesn't lead to Simply Mindy being a short game, but without rougelink/random functions, it still potentially follows the same standard for being able to get the same exact result every time if you follow the same path.

One other thing I noticed in one season was that both the farming & sentry jobs have nearly the exact same stats, the only difference was the sentry job lowered your cleanliness by an additional point. Stat modifiers per job appear to change per month & are set, not random (or even semi-random, using a template to choose random stats rather than just using a broad-range random from all stats; currently it's using stats set per season). I would honestly suggest taking a note from Breading Season (which I don't expect a lot of people can say after the fallout situation that happened leading to it's ultimate demise...) in regards to semi-random stat-modifiers.

Also I spent a little bit of time last night determining what schooling subjects lead to what stat modifications (don't worry, I wasn't restarting the game from your dropbox, I was loading it locally from my computer), seeing as it doesn't actually say when you mouse over them in the game, this is what I came up with (at least within the first season of the game; I haven't checked to see if they change per season yet):
Going from top-left to right, then bottom-left to right:
  1. +2 Fuckability, +1 Charisma
  2. +2 Fuckability, +2 Durability
  3. +2 Fuckability, +2 Prowess
  4. +3 Fuckability, +2 Prowess, +2 Creativity
  5. +1 Fuckability, +3 Strength, +3 Prowess, +3 Durability
  6. +1 Fuckability, +4 Intellect, +4 Spirit

Haven't played in a month or two, but when I was going in hard (giggity) on the game, that's one of the things that really had me scratching my head. I can start to write down which paths I want for which stats to max out but I don't think we've hit that point. Thing is, I'll have to start unlocking endings and seeing the big deal with those and the stats since I'm not quite connecting those to high and low.

The only other thing I'll have to do is figure out if the rolling of stats still goes on. God did that ever stop my progress...

If you want to max all stats, focus on the ones that you can't gain gains on through going to school & allow stats that you can gain gains on through schooling to continue dropping while you raise others through jobs (can't go below 0, just need to focus that you're not lowering stats that you're trying to keep high). The chart I posted above should help with what you can raise through schooling (at a price), although like I said before, I'm not entirely sure whether these change per season or not...
