Erotic Tycoon

[NewGuy]

The game is just for fun, do not expect anything special, maybe it is just a boring game, but still there are no other Brothel simulators, so thats why it was created.

So you hadn't played the Sim Brothel games before developing your own?

Too repetitive by far. Click, click, click...

Possibly there is something I missed but it seems the most basic flaw is that it isn't possible to have any strategy when playing this game. Customer generation is totally random so there is no skill involved. Someone investing in any kind of shop would research the area before deciding on a location, it seems reasonable to assume this should be the case here. Changes can happen to an area over time, so the business owner can decide whether to adapt to the new client base or follow his old clients and relocate his business.

In this game it is just the case that if you're lucky you get customers who want what you've got, but most of the time the money quickly runs out.. Yes, you can change the girls, but why would you do that when it's just as likely the next customer will want the very thing provided by the girl you just sold?

I would suggest trying to introduce a number of phases and limit customers expectations to a basic 5 or 6 to start with, then gradually increase the number of things they demand, giving the player the chance to make enough money to buy more girls in anticipation of the next phase. With an increased stream of customers demanding what they offer, the effects of a girl's tiredness comes into play. I've played this with 4 girls, all offering different things but they've only serviced 2 customers a month between them. Exhaustion isn't likely to be a problem...

Another thing that doesn't make sense is that you have a limited budget and need to satisfy what seems to be an extremely long list of fetishes, yet each girl has only 1 specialist area.. eg I have a 54 year old woman who is a specialist in, let's say Straight Sex - but a client wants Mature and I have to say I can't satisfy him - How does that work? I mean she's 54 ffs!! How much more mature does he want her to be?? He said he wanted Mature, not Necrophilia

The "months" also seem very short - and I was vaguely aware of some messages trying to "pop up" but they were so unremarkable in appearance and the game so repetitive I found I'd clicked before my brain registered them, so I don't know what they were trying to say.

In what world is buying and selling women acceptable? In what world is slavery acceptable? Game play is fantasy, but slavery (and rape) is just not a world (real or fantasy) that I want to promote or validate.

kessie8yl : yes, the game is maybe boring after so much clicking... but thanks for your feedback. In the future I will think about some changes - like you wrote longer months, not so random client requests etc...

And yes, you are right - every girl provides just 1 service.. so it can happen that 64-old woman provides teen sex, or 70-year old woman can't provide mature, because she is working in another category

The popup messages what you missed were probably achievements or yearly statistics.

thanks for the feedback

Grubnut: I never thought about this can be some kind of slavery Are you serious? This is a game.. Think about that you are not buying the girls, but hiring them and you pay the money to them as the first salary, and by selling you can imagine you are paying them as the compensation for dismissal...

Ehh.. slavery?? I'm sure you know it as well, that slaves didn't get payed. These "working girls" get their percentage off the money from the clients cash. That is their payment. And yes, the money you get them for in the first place can be for example the expense of their housing, their health care, insurance, etc.

On the other hand: have you played SlaveMaker? Now THAT is about buying and selling women and forcing them to have sex with anyone. Wow... now thinking about it like that it sounds horrible... But it's a fucking awesome game. And that's all it is, just a GAME. It doesn't mean you do it IRL. Hopefully...

p.s.: sorry for ranting

I've just tried this again and I'm beginning to think you've never "tested" this just as a game... All the coding may do what it should but my opinion remains unchanged. You can never have enough girls to satisfy so many needs. The only way around it is to start of with girls having the ability to fulfill more than one desire and/or fewer desires - as the player makes money (which is basically impossible in this version) they can recruit more/better girls to service a larger number of desires...

At the moment you're very quickly at a stage where you can't afford to buy another girl - unless you sell one first, but then you still only have the same number of girls (and therefore "skills"), so there's no benefit.
