The SimBro Game (Brothel Sim)

[Marune]

(If you do give info on what you're going to do with the Android, please put it in clearly labelled spoilertags.
I expect it to be utterly absurd, but I want to be surprised.

There are two main ideas. Her true identity is a 'psycho mantis'. But she is unable to read your browser cookies because of flash security restrictions. So she can't mock you up and break the forth wall naming the sites you visited =(. The second idea, she has a spirit of MC mom trapped in computer shell, although it's too kinky. JK =)

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

I apologize. Unplayable was an overstatement. The game has changed, but it can still be played.

You definitely need to build a gloryhole room, much more than you need security. A glory hole keeps money coming in while 100% of non-glory hole customers are scamming (at least, I think it was 100%. I had one day where I had 6 satisfied customers, 3 disappointed customers, 6 scammers, and four or five glory hole customers. I'm pretty sure that means all six of the satisfied customers ran out on the bill. But no amount of security will make up for disappointed customers leaving because you don't have a glory hole.

So, while it may seem like a great idea to get the security room because you actually need people paying the bill, it actually isn't your first priority.

With that in mind, and how quickly you can get screwed over if you don't have one, I kind of think it'd make more sense if you started with one. If you must have the extra cost, have the initial room provide a mood penalty: the worker loses 8 mood per sex act instead of 5, then have an upgrade to reduce the mood penalty back down to 5.

I do agree it's kinda punishing. Maybe we need to make like first 5 clients wont make your rep to go down, but you'll get a notification about new demand. OR we just have to bring them to the overall pool with common clients, so you can see clients you lost.

Will you guys make a version for iPad/iPhone/iDevices?

Technically we can. BUT. There is a bold BUTT =)
For non-jailbreaked iDevices the only source of apps is AppStore. Which won't allow any 'explicit' content apps =(
The easiest way for now - is to get a browser with flash support and play it online. http://mashtips.com/flash-player-ios/

I must be doing something wrong because even after 5 play through's up to day 50 or so.

I have no idea how to make the security room appear, or the glory hole room. I read from some posts that you can have both almost right after the police raid.

Regardless, great game =p

Thanks! Just wait a bit (to the end of the month) for 0.9 game update.

I believe the "pale" girl in the basement explains their intentions of what she'll be used to do. If you can't get that far with her, you do need to up your stamina. Also the glory hole guys probably shows more plans for the future updates that' well get to look forward to. Overall super excited about this. ^.^

You are right =) Thanks!

Extremely good game here. It's amazing what you were able to complete in just under a month this update. As it is right now, the game is one of the few that has high gameplay value (as opposed to just interactive porn). Keep up the fantastic work.

One suggestion: add a way to appease girls that didn't have sex (so that they don't bother you every time you try to sleep)
- Allow us to assign thugs to girls to routinely have sex with them, or
- Girls who aren't working a bedroom won't demand sex, or
- Make the event rare in general (10%) as opposed to (90% or whatever it is now)

Did this discussion really turn into an economic debate on page 14?.

LOL.

Thanks!!!
About your suggestion. You may know that you can already summon a thug and he can ask for one of your girls.
But you are right. I should lower the frequency of sex demand event. Also maybe a new sorting tab to the staff panel? Like those who have stamina.

Good game I like it! It’s a solid effort so far and I have no doubt that you guys will make things better.
I do have 2 questions:
- Its not possible at the moment to lower Alice’s dignity below 45 is it?
- Is it possible to make Julia more open and chatty? Or is that not in at the moment either?
And a bunch of feedback/suggestions:
- At the moment it’s basically impossible to make any serious progress into the game without choosing the extra $1000 at the start. You might want to consider raising the starting amount to $2000 or $2500 so the other two options are viable.
- You probably are already working on this, but maybe add a beauty salon location so you can change your girl’s looks (hair/skin colour etc).
- The brothel has kind of a sci-fi theme going, so maybe add in some non-human traits to the girls. Horns/tails/oddly coloured skin/three eyes and so forth.
- More “unique” girls like Julia. You could give these girls their own short stories if you wanted, and defiantly a unique job. Like you might have a Mistress character you could recruit that allows you to train lower level girls more quickly, or a psychiatrist that allows you give girls specific traits (at a very low probity of success)
- More rooms! I’m certain you are working on some of these as well but some suggestions:
o Physical training room: allows your male characters to gain EXP.
o Spar: Increases Mood. Could even throw in some Lesbian or M/F/F threesome scenes in it.
o Security room: Increases Mood as well, gives your male characters somewhere to work, maybe decreases the health of the gangs that come to collect the money?
o Kitchen: Gives everyone a slight boost to their stamina stat?
o Bar: Requires the kitchen to build, lowers the amount of mood a customer loses when forced to wait for a girl.
o Strip club: Same as the bar, uses up a girls stamina so they couldn’t work that night as well.

- Iv got two fairly major game play overhaul suggestions as well:
o Mood: Its way to easy to raise this stat at the moment. Personally what I would do here (and I’m willing to admit this may not be possible for whatever reason) is make it raise a lot slower, so that you have to build a bunch of the rooms I mentioned above to see a noticeable increase, and make it so that giving a girl the 5% bonus when she services a client only keeps her mood steady and the 10% increases it by a little. You could then throw in a random event when a girl services a client where they abuse her, causing a big drop in Mood (because even prostitutes don’t like being yelled at). You could also add in a positive modifier if the girl’s hygiene is high.
o Dignity: Again this is just personally what I would do, but I would overhaul the dignity trait quite a bit. I would start by making Alice start at 100 dignity, and all the other girls have theirs be between 30 and 70 (with maybe 75 being the threshold above which a girl won’t sell herself). You talked about being able to lower dignity somewhere else in this thread, but I would make you be able to raise it as well, perhaps by sending your girls to some sort of etiquette school at a price. Higher dignity girls would attract a much higher price (either because they look better, are more likely to haggle etc) while lower dignity girls would sell themselves cheaper, but make it so the clothing bought from the shop with the best stat increases can only be worn by them (for example the “Spiked Peep” outfit might only be able to be worn by girls with 25 or lower dignity).

1. Nope it's 45 for now. We planned an event for her in v1.0 update.
2. I got your suggestion. Just need to incubate the idea for some time =)
3. Maybe we should tie it up to difficulty settings?
4. Yes, but we are going to finish with new female bodies first.
5. We have an idea how to bring all 'weird' looking girls together. (Mystery room)
6. Yes, unique girls is our favorite part =)
7. Liked your rooms ideas. Already added a security room to the next update =)
8. Mood. Is questionable. Someone find it hard to come by. But we are looking forward to random events about your crew.
9. Dignity. Makes sense. To balance it low enough to be a slut and high enough to raise your price.
Overall thanks for suggestions and appreciation!

Anyway, on to the feedback!

I've registered here specifically to write this, because, honestly, SimBro is amazing and addictive and deserves my support (and I will give it, because it has been an absolute waste of my time in the most entertaining way!).

First impressions and observations

I was not too happy that there wasn't an independent *.exe I could download and run from my computer, especially since I'm never too sure about the status of savegames with flash games and I prefer to be able to export and name my saves just to know I have them. So far, nothing bad happened to my game, and I hope it stays that way, though.

My initial reaction to the sprites was "oh, it's just like Splatformer!" which is both good and bad. Good because there's a solid core of animations and customizations available, bad because ... let's be honest, there's exactly one sameface in a profile perspective, the boobs look like floaty balloons and the bodyshape is mostly weird. But it works, there are many good animations that compensate for the initial lack of detail, and you can kinda imagine the girls (and your female protagonist if you have one) have unique and different faces if you try enough.
As for the males... ehhh. My first reaction to seeing the guys was confusion, especially since their faces uses a different perspective than the perma-profile of the girls. Some of their faces are just wrong while the evidently newer ones are obviously meant to sit on a much better body with much nicer clothes.
Which brings me to another early observation: Outfits don't work. At all. The same outfit would show up in multiple instances in the shop, and there's this whole mess with Alice's "office bimbo" outfit which looks nothing like the hot secretary suit I imagine her to wear because it uses recycled Splatformer graphics. Every guy in the game has the same nipple-less torso, the same often off-coloured dick (it took me a while to realize these were not blonde pubes I was looking at but some kind of cock ring) and no personality traits. Which honestly isn't even all that bad considering the girls mostly have negative ones that require me to fire them on the spot because they're too lazy to work or steal from their clients.
Anyway, outfits. I'm aware you're working on them and I'm so looking forward to the next release! It just strikes me as odd that the game is obviously meant to be played using a male protagonist (more on that in a bit) when everyone wears the same old thug outfit and uggo orange boots. I tried to create a Nico Bellic (I'm feeling slightly guilty for it.... very very slightly, it would've rocked) main and I couldn't, and the dudes all sucked with their super pretty or super ugly faces with no beard or hair or eye options, while I could customize my sameface female lead who was then able to wear different outfits and have a unique voice but was not able to do half the things the male lead can. That was .... really, really unbalanced.
But I'm still telling you about my first impressions, right? So, those were my first impressions. Game meant to be played as male, no male customization, males ugly. Females can be customized a bit more but only get half the gameplay, so playing as a male lead makes much more sense and is much more fun.
I found the initial bonus choices difficult to choose from until it dawned on me that only the extra money made sense because all of the girls I would be able to hire on the first day were very prone to have negative traits that put them out of business the same day or the day after, and you absolutely NEED to find a reliable worker in order to serve your first customers who will otherwise be angry and ruin your business forever.

More thoughts and impressions:
- some language issues. I'm not a native English speaker myself so I understand where you're coming from.
- that said, characters' emotes are, for some reason, in past tense, i.e. "she winked at you". No. No, she didn't.
- some interface issues. I encountered many situations where I had no way to "end" a conversation other than going back and making a different choice. I also found it increasingly annoying that in the "I'm getting out practice" dialogue from bored girls, the "End" button was not where I expected it to be and there was instead the "Go On" option which forced me through another round of annoying sex when I really only wanted to get rid of the girl. It also currently requires the user to "End" the dialogue twice; once when finishing the sex scene and then again in order to get the girl to leave. This, btw, was one of the most annoying things for me.
- There really has to be a way to shut up the girls who didn't get any that day. I'm not even going for a semi-realistic angle where a whore would probably be super happy to just be paid without having to serve a customer, it's more of a gameplay class issue between maids and whores. I'm totally seconding another user's idea that you should be able to match up whores and thugs so they'll get friendly with each other without bothering the player.
- The bar only works for male characters. Only females can be prostitutes. You already have a class system of thugs, commoners, whores, etc. so it should be easy to make that available to both genders (I think you were already planning on it, as well as working on the required animations, so my point is most likely moot)
- I really wanna bang those police officers
- Alice is funny, and I super enjoyed the shower scene with her which was the latest way to lower her dignity. I don't fully understand her character, though. She obviously has a crush on the (male) protagonist and wants to bang him, and she doesn't really mind being raped in the shower by him, either. Ehhh. Why, exactly, is she there again? Why would she allow this abuse and not despise the guy? There's no option to build any sort of relationship with her, you can only humiliate and abuse her and she's fine with that until she someday has low enough dignity to prostitute herself and that's some kind of success? Yeah, I think not.
- Julia is absolutely adorable. I wished there were more ways to interact with her. I thoroughly enjoyed her unique positions and it made me sad that women by default have some kind of mood problem in this game which lowers their mood if they have sex. It may sound silly but it honestly made me a little happy when Julia's mood improved instead of her usual -5 after "we" had sex. It seemed fairly random, too.
- the prisoner thing depresses me. So I capture enemy ladies and rape them while they visually shake and tremble, and then... what? They stay in my sex dungeon forever, at full hygiene and zero mood and dignity? I want to be able to do something with them. Sell them, perhaps. Convert them, maybe. Talk to them, learn my enemies' secrets... I don't know, the current scenario is just very, very depressing as much as I enjoy force in imaginary scenarios.

Anyway, I could probably go on forever. This game has great potential and I enjoyed it a lot - with a dude, not so much with a gal - so far. I'm definitely going to support you on Patreon and follow the further development. I hope my ramblings weren't too incoherent, I'm currently down with a nasty flu (which is why I had the time to test games on end) which makes me feel all warped and out of this world which probably means my posts are similarly unstructured and weird. Ew.

Oh! It's more than I've ever typed in my life! (in one piece). It's a really good first impression review. I enjoyed to read it =)
First - there is a standalone .exe version. Check our blogspot download section to find one. http://simbrodev.blogspot.com/p/play-si ... build.html
Language - Me fights all that stupid words to come by it the right order =)
'she winked' - honestly I thought we fixed all that 'past' sentences. I should check it.
Glad you liked game animations. Our artist tried to make them 'jiggly'.
Interface issues. If you can remember dialogs where you stuck, name it, I'll make a fix. Already wrote above about bored girls event.
I got your words about Alice, Julia and slaves. I can't say a determined decision right now, but your words left a track in my thoughts.
Hew man, thanks for awesome review, appreciation and support =)

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

This game is fantastica already and i hope it get better. Wish have more games like this.
I have some kinky sugestions.
1- Some traits for thugs and male npc, like "Agresisve", "Sex Addict" or "Lazy". For more interactions, like if you are a female character and trie to fire a agressive thug he charge and try to rape you, you can scream you be silent e let him finish. The Sex Addict sometimes will be all day fucking one of the whores and you can add him or her to anything.
2- Extra interactions on batle, like the lust, male characters and npc, can attempt rape the females and lowers her stamina. And if you lose, all you female characters can be raped together, not just one, and with the chance of be capture so you have to pay for her back or figth to get her free. You can also be capture if you play a female, having to escape.
3- More facial emotions for girls, like tears, uber pleasure with the tongue out.

I think those changes you make the game more realist and dificult, hope you guys read these and think about.

Keep up the good work, SimBro is already a great game!

Thanks!
1. Sounds like a good addition for female play.
2. Yes, we are going to come back to some old ideas for battle interactions.
3. Actually they are ready. We need to add some kind of pleasure meter to make them auto appear in certain situations (low ST high pleasure, etc.)
I'm aware to make the game more difficulty (and punishing) but I like to the idea to add variations for strategic and immersive play.

And if you lose, all you female characters can be raped together, not just one

Much-needed addition.

Noted.

WISHLIST!

1. 4p sex. 3 guys, 1 girl, or maybe more. I can see up to 6 guys ganging up on one girl. Maybe one male, 2-3 girls too. Also, let's make it so your main character female can initiate a gangbang for herself by calling in more than one henchman into her room, or make it so a thug can randomly show up while you're having sex in the shower. Maybe you can also make it so that you can offer 'busy' girls to a client to initiate a gangbang outside of the jail cells. Downside would be increased stamina consumption.

2. Male clothing variety. I remember in a previous version the male main character had a unique look. Why did you change that? Let's make it buyable. Could also be fun to have your thugs dress up in suits.

3. Make it so your main character can offer him/herself to debt collectors to delay collection time, which only works 2 times in a row or so.

4. Ability to add traits to your main character, which can actually affect starting stats.

That's all I can think of for now.

[Ichicora-Uzumaki]

what can be done to make Alice's dignity lower?

[FredNeto]

Just a quick question.
In the future you guys pretend to incluse pregnancy in the game, like your whores or yourself can be impregnated by randon thugs on the streets(in your brothel the guys can only have safe sex)?
By the way, thanks for the reply, getting a job i will be a patreon for sure

[Milessoeren]

What is the best way to gain exp for the player character? After level 4 or so, I seem to only get around 0-1 exp from fights and sex sessions.

[thfatman]

Not sure if this has already been said, but I figured I'd put in my two cents for a suggestion.

Why not add in a Dominate/Submissive stat or trait. That way it can lead to more scenes. For instance, your main female character doesn't need to let the guys dom her, but instead put on a strapon or something. Would also work really well with shemale characters if they are added in later.

[FredNeto]

Milessoeren, you have to look for characters with the leve superior of yours. If you play a male, wait for some whores to became high level then have sex with her.
If female, the same routine whore yoursefl to high level npc.

[Bang It Up!]

what can be done to make Alice's dignity lower?

The lowest it can go is 45 for now, because the author haven't implement more story for her yet. Even if you got her low enough, there's not much point to it. Because she still don't have any full on sexual interactions between your main character, the way I see it the most you can do would be assign her to be a prostitute or buy her one of those revealing outfits.

Okay. That makes sense. Thank you.

Hi. I'm a massive fan of the game, I do have a few questions though:

1) Would you consider making the waiting times between each version for non-Patreon donors shorter? I think a month between versions is a bit too long, ideally I would like it to be a fortnight difference for non-donors
2) Do you have any plans to add more locations and to add more story for Alice?
3) Will you consider adding more business options other than the massaging salon?

[Kurushimi]

I am not the creator, but I'll do my best to answer anyway.

1. It seems unreasonable to complain about once a month not being enough of a quality product you're getting for free. Also, production takes time, and there may not be new content fortnightly, at least not enough to use resources on compiling a new version. I don't know for sure, but it's an educated guess.

2. It has been mentioned several times that more stuff is in the works for Alice.

3. The salon is a lie.

[Bang It Up!]

I found a bug, not sure if it's just me. When I caught my slaves from a fight for the first time, they'll be shown nude at the Cage Cell icon and Staff menu through the Cabinet. Once I reload the game, their nudity will be gone from both the Cage Cell icon and Staff menu through the Cabinet. But, all of their other features are still working as normal though.
Can anyone else test this out to see if you're experiencing the same bug as me?

[LillyMacow]

Hey, I have been following this game for a while, it is probaly my favorite game on here so I would just like to thank you for the great game you have been making, that being said I would like to just make a suggestion.
I personally really love the combat side you have been developing, and I think that if you developed that side more I would be very happy, such as more types of abilities ( preferably more sex taunts ) as well being able to rape a female opponent once in the slums, but to keep her you still need the cells and all that. But yeah, whatever you do you still have my attention and admiration, keep up the fantastic work!

[naruto95]

Is there a way on how to increase more the stats of the women? I can't tease men no more with women

[shay123654]

Help please, i know alice is spawned with 70 diginity, and there is the first 2 options to lower her to 60 (flirt and story) but after that im stuck, how do i lower her from 60 to 50?

[PuertoRicanJose]

Is it possible to allow the female main character to use the shower scenes Julia uses with male main character on her thugs in future versions? I feel that would add more variety to the female play through.

[The duke of M]

I really enjoyed this game can't wait for more plot and finally have the chance to bang Alice! I'd agree with what most people have said about the dignity meter being extended for all female characters- with different starting levels depending on personality/backgorund. e.g.

Whores picked up in slum- 40 (able to fuck/prostitute)
Whores 'saved' in the slum/girls captured 50 (able to fuck but not prositute)
Girls picked up in bar depends on personality (tsundere 80, naive 70, Klepto/lazy 60

The idea then would be to push your girls dignity lower through events depending on skill checks (a bit like with Alice, only more generic- less conversation, less scenes, got to keep the main characters special )

So for example:
80-60 Talking/raising mood *charm stat focus*
60-50 events- rescue girl event/shower rape events *strength check focus*
50-40 sex events with you *skill check focus*
40-30 minor prostitution (boob/hand/blow jobs/rubs, effectively the glory hole room)
30-20 hardcore prostituion
20 down- anal/double penetration/gangbangs

At the moment the charm skill for your character just seems a bit op, to the extent you can pretty much get to Alice's shower seen in four days if you put all your points in charm and have a bit of luck. But yeah it's a rellay good game, and I think a month is a good balanced wait time. Understandably it's the most difficult time at the moment, because you need to flesh out the RPG elements to the game, but once that's set, it'll be a lot easier to place events, new scenes and new characters along the game timeline.

Also there's a cheat bug in the bioandroid room- you don't need stamina to keep fucking her and gaining experience

[Mr.Viceman]

No matter what version of this game I play I can't seem to assign a girl to a room. it's really frustrating.

I've played strumpets and I've always wanted to see an upgraded version so, I thought that simbro would be the answer.
I like games that allow me to build and run a business.

if anyone knows how to get this "ASSIGN A GIRL TO A ROOM" thing to work please reply.
Or better yet just let the game send the customer and girl to a room automaticlly to avoid the issue all together.

Thanx
The viceman.

[loshi1505]

No matter what version of this game I play I can't seem to assign a girl to a room. it's really frustrating.

first you need to hire a girl that can work, second you build the room, third you drag the girls icon to the newly built room...
after that it's checking the reception room every 1-2 hour to make sure you never miss a client until the fake spa upgrade is available.

to hire a whore either go to the bar (if your MC is male) and pick one up by having good charm and beauty stats (and like $75-ish) OR go to slums and hire them for a down payment and daily payment.

to build a room click the gray squares in the building management menu

then drag and drop.

[Darkdias]

Hi, keep developing this game, it's clearly one of the bests H Game I played, keep going !

I created an account just to encourage you, I'm sure a lot of people really love this game but just don't say it, so I said it
