I will say for the genre i think it was well executed. Not my kind of game, but well executed. Writing was very descriptive and colourful.

Since the game has already loaded in my browser I have proceeded to investigate it, but much against my will I assure you. With disgust I have built a successful brothel and sold off many a poor girl. On a more serious note, well done on a clever concept, but requires some love for written porn.

It was a pain to play while having to focus on clicking on a guy that was already paired up. \n\nOther issue, the NEXT button will pass dialogs, but will also pass on to the next day, which cost me a reset the first time I played.\n\nLast commment: I found the game really long for a Ludum Dare format (very repetitive after the fifth day, so let's talk about the 30 day you have to go through to finish the game).\n\nGreat realisation! Easily enjoyable game, with quite some inventivness. I hope to see more of your lewd games in the future.\n\n\n","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Astralore","author_uid":"1116085","time":"2018-08-18T18:44:42Z","epoch":1534617882,"modified":1534618065,"text":"I played through approximately 15 days before I had to go to sleep. :sob: \n\nI appreciate the effort that went into writing so many scenes that indicate varying levels of success! :smirk: That's pretty cool though they seemed to get repetitive quickly (Something that might be solved by having a smaller brothel, so you aren't burning through the scenes so fast.)\n\nLike others have said, the gameplay feels repetitive and a lot about matching numbers. I think one way to easily expand on the strategy aspect would be to have a larger pool of random clients. Right now, the player always gets the same group of clients every day until they buy a girl and vanish forever. It would be more interesting to have a larger group of clients that patronize the brothel but aren't there every night. (Like, if you had 32 regular clients but only eight show up on a given day and it's randomized who they will be.) Otherwise you just end up pairing the same people over and over until they leave. \n\nI also noticed that approximately 25% of the time, the text would tell me a girl leveled up a skill but this wasn't reflected in her stats afterward? Most of the time, it worked fine though.\n\nOne last thing! The \"EXIT\" button on the GUI is in a really awkward place. I was constantly reminding myself not to click it, because it feels like a location for an \"OKAY\/SUBMIT\" button. Consider moving it to the top of the screen? \n\nYou guys did a great job with this! I hope you'll expand on it in the future! :smiley_cat: ","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"nate_wec","author_uid":"1016818","time":"2018-08-19T00:32:46Z","epoch":1534638766,"modified":1534638766,"text":"I think this idea had some potential if there was some sort of challenge to the matching, rather than just remembering who wants to do who.

I was all set for some smut, but there\u2019s not enough story here to get my engines going. I like a little buildup, a little foreplay, a little romance. When the sex is reduced to statistics, the result feels more like gonzo than erotica. Why hire new girls if there are too many already? While it doesn\u2019t change the game, the backstory didn\u2019t make sense. I agree with other commenters that just matching proclivities wasn\u2019t compelling me to play. Maybe icons would help, so I don\u2019t have to keep clicking back and forth to remember those numbers.
