A week later, let's talk!
Hi all! The 0.1.9 build has been out for about a week now, so I feel like most people probably had a go at it. So, let's talk. I have a few general questions I have that I would love for you all to answer. You can use the comments or send me a message.
Has 0.1.9 convinced you that the game is going in the right direction overall?
Are you enjoying the new story? Are you enjoying the sister/best friend character dynamics?
What would you pick to be the next big feature to work on?
Is the streaming business how you thought it'd be? Is it('s potential) better than MAiH1's streaming business? What features from the MAiH1 business would you like to see return?
Are you enjoying the new character building and trait systems? Or do they feel out of place?
Anything else is very welcome too. I have a pretty clear direction I want to take things, but I do very much value community feedback and I would love to get more of it so I can adjust accordingly. Not just bug reports but just how you're all experiencing the game in general. What's good? What needs improvement? What would you want to see next? Talk to me! :)

A few things I have noticed: 1) After buying the gas station from Jordan, she keeps popping up with the initial conversation when I visit the gas station. 2) After calling Sadie over for a bootycall successfully, she still says she's a virgin at the office. 3) Unless you have stats where the woman will ask you to stay and cuddle, you don't get the report of how long the sex went for, etc. 4) At the first party, I hooked up with Emilia Clarke but got Emma Watson's number. As an additional note, I love all the ideas you are thinking about implementing for casting, filming, and talent development. Those are very exciting and I can't wait for those.
1) Ah, sounds like an easy fix, I'll look into that asap 2) Hmm, virgins shouldn't even accept a bootycall. Guess I gotta add the check to that still :) 3) Hm, strange, I've always had the results screen. I'll look into it! 4) Ah, sounds like a copy-paste mistake :) I'll fix it. And thanks! The multi-faceted business is going to bring tonnes of diverse fun to the game once it gets filled in some more! :)
Would love a feature where you can sneak into a roommates room and steal something like panties or a sex toy
That sounds fun! I'll put that on the idea list for when I start working on the housemate mechanics more.
Love most of the changes. I do wish that down the line there were more threesomes with the girls (mfm, mff). Specifically with relation to the girlfriend / sister / best friend where that relationship plays into the dirty talk.
I plan on having seperate threesome/moresome mechanics eventually to really make that experience as amazing as possible :) There will also be plenty of unique story threesomes apart from the 'generic' sex of course.
And Millie Bobby Brown would also be a great addition as well
She was actually voted out a few months back, but she might make another appearance someday :)
Overall I like the new sister friend dynamic and think over all it has great potential. Not sure how you take girl suggestions, but Natacha Karam would be a nice addition.
different activities can be added with marriage and spouse, having children, if I remember correctly, you mentioned this, the celebrity service can be added again, there were parties after making the movie, this can be processed in more detail than in maih1, and finally, encountering celebrities in random places can be increased.
Relationship mechanics are next on the list once the business is sort-of up and running properly. That means friendship-building, relationship statuses (girlfriend, fwb, fiance), marriage (eventually harems). Pregnancy is already in the game partly (if you fuck the sister in the intro you can have a sneak peek at this). The celebrity service and club will make a return better than ever! Release parties will also be returning and eventually I want the player to be able to hold their own parties at home and invite girls etc. More random encounters are always on the list. I have more ideas than time in that regard :)
Although it's still unfinished I think the concept of the business has much more potential right now than in MAIH1. The only thing I would say I currently miss from MAIH1 is the different kinds of dates based upon a girl's personality.
That's amazing to hear! The dates and personality types are definitely making a comeback better than ever.
Think it's absolutely going in the right direction. Story is great, can't wait to see it built out further. Like the direction of the streaming business a lot better than the original game. As for Traits, they do feel a little forgettable right now, but I think the answer to that is actually more traits, down the road. That way, they'll have more of an impact on gameplay. One suggestion I do have is about character creation. Since you need to spend all your points to continue, you have to plow all your leftover points into money once you've maxed out traits, size, and picked your friend and sister. My personal favourites for the friend and sister roles ended up being pretty cheap, so I had a lot of points left over. The down side is since you can only spend the points one at time for money, it took way too long to finalize my character. Could you add a button to just dump all remaining points into money?
So glad to hear this positivity! I've been self-conscious and it's nice to hear the new direction is appreciated and understood. Traits aren't meant to change the game in a big way, but as I fill them out I think they'll allow players to keep changing their character in a fun way even after perhaps leveling out their status/fitness etc. I have been wanting to add that button for a while and just did in the local build :) Will upload asap.
Everything I've seen seems okay, even if most of it is unfinished of course, but that's to be expected :) Only thing I would love to see is an animal focused section for the streaming business later on ;)
No worries, there will eventually be way more of that content as well :) Big plans, just a lack of time.
In general yes, but becaus frienship doesn't work, working seems not far from finished, don't know whats the idea about dogs. booty calls only works with miley... So yes, it's fine direction, but many constuction sites.
enable developer tools for your game, if you getting a bug that say success rate = _success, save the game and then load it from that save and you should get a % value and then it will work as intended (this will happen alot every 2-3days i have found). i beleive he mentioned its something not reading correctly
Overall I would say right direction with positive review. Remembering that I know only Jack and shit about programming, but more random, pop up, kind of events would be great.
Yeah, as the game's core features fill in I'll be adding more random events to every place in the game. I have many many stories lined up with pictures and/or videos.
All the girls seem mostly uninterested. The fitness level and status don’t seem to go up. Also most of the film stuff seems unfinished. Fun otherwise tho
fitness level does go up it just takes a bit of time, but it will increase
