Would there be any chance you could add a feature to make the settings lower and sensitivity lower? Computers struggling. It runs, but..not particularly well.
Thank you so much! I can see you have been taking a pragmatic, step by step approach and are picking up the skills to make this into a great game. I hope things work out for you and even if you don't return to this game, I'm sure many will get some fun out of what there is.
I have significantly improved in my modeling and coding skills while making a better work portfolio. If I come back to this project, I'd probably restart and rip code and base models from those projects. It would definitely be insanely improved. If I get there, I'll make that version $9.99, and anyone who previously paid would get that version as part of their purchase here.
I appreciate the praise for the potential and I do plan on working on this game again. I am not sure how long it will take to get my finances to a place where I'm comfortable committing the required amount of time to make significant updates again. The final scope might not be as big as initially intended, but there should be quite a bit more. I'm looking for a new job that pays significantly more, that way I have more time freed up. I never thought of my game dev work as very good, so having positive comments like this brings a smile to my face. All the best.
My post regularity was going to be reduced significantly, and I don't want people paying monthly if the output is extraordinarily slow. Had a lot of life expenses and needed to work more to make up for it.
Hey! I just gave this a go and I think it's a very good idea, but I had a few issues that I thought I should let you know about. Most of these are just nitpicks though.
First off, the camera feels very slippery. It continues to turn even after I have stopped moving the mouse. It would be nice to see that tightened up a little.
The lighting looks good during the day, but it looks a bit wonky at night.
Another thing is the abundance of invisible walls. I understand that the map isn't done and you don't want players exploring unfinished parts of the map, but it would be nice to have some indication as to where these boundaries are.
It's also a little awkward to have to directly look at things with the camera to interact with them. I think it'd feel nicer if you could interact with things by facing Pearl in the rough direction of them.
One last thing, Since this game doesn't have a pause menu, there's no way to change settings without restarting the game.
Oh, and I encountered some bugs too.
When it comes to the sex toys you can buy in the house, the animations for using them don't really line up properly with the actual toys.
While both the Mega Melon and Thick Steak work, I'm not sure if the Tiny Melon or Slim Salmon do anything. (I only tried using them after maxing out the other two.)
If you sprint around and let go of your movement input but continue holding Shift, you'll continue to run in the last direction you were running in. You can even tap different directions while in this state to have Pearl appear to be running in the wrong direction.
Trying to run down a slope will sometimes make Pearl go airborne for a short moment. This problem is often called "Slope Bouncing" or "Slope Jittering" and it's relatively easy to fix!
The camera can sometimes feel a little jank when it's colliding with objects. I don't know exactly what's causing this, but it can be annoying at times, especially indoors.
When booting the game up, it plays the menu music at full blast for a split second before loading in the audio settings and quieting down.
When viewing pictures in your gallery, the game seems to slow down a ton when looking at high resolution photos.
That's all for the bugs! There may be more, but nothing else is coming to mind.
I don't know if you're taking suggestions, but it may be nice to have little side quests where characters commission you for photos of specific things.
These could range from easy stuff like "Take a picture of the statue in the middle of town" to hard stuff like "Take a picture of Willow having a bath from behind without being noticed."
This would be interesting, but I just thought I'd put down my two cents.
Finally, I'd like to say that I had a fun time with this and I can't wait to see how it goes from here!
BTW, sorry for the wall of text, I didn't want to leave anything out.
Thanks for the suggestions. Some of them I definitely have noticed but wanted to get something playable out, but also I for sure missed a few and do appreciate having someone to help find the bugs and with general feedback! While it's a new game, I was hoping to get an update out every 2 weeks. Unfortunately I needed to get a different job that's a bit more demanding and will probably have to change to ever month/ other month (or make smaller updates because the updates have been pretty big size for how often.) I pretty much only have one day a week to work on this and relax combined at the moment. That said, I'll see what I can fix for the next update that should hopefully be early next month. (Which slightly expands the playable area, and adds some fun stuff) but I plan on fixing a few things each update, I want to fix the night lights and sky the most but have been playing with smaller other bugs since nighttime is pretty bland right now. By release, I was hoping to have a couple quests (or achievements) based on taking photos of a few things. Not sure how much SFW stuff vs NSFW stuff I want to do yet, but have been leaning more nsfw for the time being since I figured it was probably the bigger selling point of the game. Models take a long time to create too and I'm out of budget for buying any additional ones, so adding sfw stuff does slow down the rest.
Anyways, thanks for the feedback, I think most of those things I should be able to add/ address!

Would there be any chance you could add a feature to make the settings lower and sensitivity lower?
Computers struggling. It runs, but..not particularly well.
This project is on hiatus, but I'd definitely put in those options in updates.
Oh! I see, fair enough.
Thanks for lettin me know, Ill make sure to track the progress, haha
Since the Patreon is down, the only way to try this game is here for $9.99 ?
Because development is on hiatus for the foreseeable future, I made this free.

I hope its not cancelled. Because it has potential. Sure it doesn't have much features but still.

The Patreon is gone so I assume this project is cancelled?
My post regularity was going to be reduced significantly, and I don't want people paying monthly if the output is extraordinarily slow. Had a lot of life expenses and needed to work more to make up for it.
Oh okay, now I understand. Thanks for letting us know.
Not even a public release?
What do you mean?

Still pretty early, but really enjoyable so far. Keep the updates coming, looking forward to them!
