[RenPy] The Part-Timer v0.8.7.4

[BadSquirrelThings]

Hello, Everyone!

The Part-Timer is an adult game made with Ren'Py, with gameplay that is focused on being a dating and management sim! I started working on this game in November, so there will be many more updates to come soon for the game! The Part-Timer in the game is a woman that's looking to make a little extra cash on the side, and you're just an a bored employee of a faceless business that couldn't really say no. Manage the Part-Timer's stats by having her perform different duties around the store, and soon you will be able to ask for personal requests!

Here are some images of how the game is looking so far!

I'm so glad there is a new update! I can't wait to start playing!

I like the premise, but is there a point to tasks both raising and lowering a stat by the same amount? It means you have to specialize the girl in two things, tops, and this being a porn game, is there any point to raising anything but perversion? Just some design-focused questions. I like the premise, and I hope there's more in the future.

Currently, the girl’s stats haven’t been implemented into the game. I’ve built in the framework for increasing and decreasing the stats, but perversion is currently the only stat than can control something (whether Emily will put on the bikini outfit or not). Of course, there would be little point to raising anything but perversion in a porn game! These stats should be thought of more as how the girl will respond to people outside of the player. So, this Perversion stat is more about her getting freaky with customers or something similar.

Most of the porn content won’t be influenced by her having a low perversion stat, so you won’t be punished for not investing in it.

The reason for the stats increasing and decreasing by the same amount is because the player character (Captain) is largely inept at training new hires. As his skills become higher, it will control how much the girl’s stats raise or lower. So, you don’t have to pick just a couple of stats to level. But, that part isn’t in the game yet, so I can understand any confusion there might be!

Opening the front desk seemed pretty odd to me. It gives the same payout as the back, but it's less convenient, requires a lot of money to unlock, and requires a different skill to do well in. Just the same, leveling patience instead of management seemed pointless because they both do the same thing, but patience needed something unlocked before it could do anything.

I imagine that he hasn't finished adding to it, it says on the site that it is still early in development. I noticed when I was playing though, if I worked from the back and in the front in a work week, I doubled my money. So there is a benefit to it right now.
