Bugs and problems

Post by JohnnyNr2 »

It's been a while since I've played the game, I'm amazed at how it has improved!

I hope you'll see the following for what it's meant: constructive criticism from a long-time fan!

First of all, my specs:
Windows 10 Enterprise (fully updated)
.NET 4.6.01586
Game version: 3.2.9 (latest)
The games runs from an external HDD (D:) the game path has been modified accordingly via the settings.

Attention! Spoilers and whatnot.
1. I can't buy forniture. But I see it was already reported. http://scoreville.die-links-welt.de/boa ... ?f=5&t=747

2. Evening classes: I can only attend one of them, I wish I could choose among all of the available classes. For instance, atm I can only attend classes for security guards, and I can't work as photographer, lifeguard, professor...

3. Cars. My "car" was stolen early in the game (it was the bycicle, actually). It took me some time (weeks) to realize I could rent one. A couple of days after I rent the car, my "old one" (bycicle) was found. I decided to buy a real car, a classic VW beetle. I flirted with a girl, she didn't like my car and didn't follow me home.
Four problems here: a) after my "car" (bycicle) was stolen, and before it was found, I could still ride it, I had the option at home; b) after the girl refused the ride home, I kind of lost my car, I only have the bycicle option at home, and now I'm using a bycicle again. Whatever happened to my Beetle? :) c) The girls always accept rides when I use the bycicle, how can they be so picky when I got a real car? d) Now I don't have a car anymore, but I have the car sex option (!)

4. Shooting range. First of all, the early stages are harder than the later ones. Secondly, the "target range 2" is extremely easy because the points are multiplied by 10. You only need 10 7s to reach 700. On the other hand, the "jungle 2" is impossible: you get a 7 for every rabbit, which means you have to hit 100 of them to reach 700. Lastly, it is said that you need X points of this, X points of that, etc. while actually you don't need any of them, you can start shooting from day 1.

5. The conversations (flirt with a girl) aren't particularly difficult, but sure are confusing. It looks like the girls have known you for ages even when you meet them for the first time. Small talk doesn't get you anywhere, it's just a matter of finding the right phrase, and suddenly the attraction level jumps from X to X+100. As a result, the "poor loser you" at the beginning has the exact same chances of seducing a girl as the "strong charismatic clever you" later in the game. Some wording is weird: "what do you thinking?" "Have you tattoo" and so on. In the "dating game spirit" this should be the hardest part, but also the most polished one.

6. I wasn't able to find my sin level, I only know that you get +1 sin everytime you have sex and -10 everytime you confess. But it happened that I couldn't have sex with a girl because I was "full of sin". How much is too much?

Phew... that's it! Keep up the good work!

Let me answer the sixth point: I decided against displaying the sin level. The status bar is already crowded and it should be a surprise after flirting. As with all stats the sin level can get as high as 100, it will be taken as percentage value during a random roll. You can get lucky even with high values, but at around 25 you should feel the "pressure". ;)

Thanks for the answer, I suspected that! ;)

As for the others: 1, 3, and possibly 4 are bugs, IMO, 3 being the nastiest because it doesn't break the game but it generates a series of unwanted effects.

As for 5, I think it has something to do with the way girlpacks are created. However, I think the game should follow a more natural flow of events, in one way or the other.

2 I reckon is a relatively new feature, that hopefully will be fully implemented in the next versions.

A couple more suggestions:
- Hygene should go up and down more: you should lose points even when you don't do anything, should lose a lot of points when you have sex or when you work out, and you should recover all points with a bath/shower. Also, a shower in the gym would be an interesting place to trigger some voyeur scenes...
- Black jack at the casino is way too easy. The banker is crazy and doesn't follow the rules, thankfully he busts most of the times :)

Point 3 will be analyzed, one shouldn't lose the bike and sex "in the car" shouldn't be possible. As to the other occurrences: Don't know if we can reproduce them, but we'll see.

Progress report:
  • "Sex in car" no longer possible with a bicycle
  • Changes to shooting range
  • A bicycle cannot be stolen
As to girls + bicycle: You should only be able to pick up girls up to level 6. I'm guessing something went bonkers with your stolen bicycle...
