First of all, I want to say I love the new direction taken here, and all the improvements to gameplay. It's making the thing much more interactive and interesting.
However this has come at the expense of a huge number of bugs and inconveniences. So in the spirit of constructive criticism, I have made a long list of issues I experienced in the most recent version (although some have actually been around for a while).
Bugs and irritations (as of v0.105):
- The font size of all the new activities is way too small (desktop version).
- Assignments in the new job management system disappear between sessions.
- The ranch shop is now only available once in the morning. Inconvenient.
- The cooking minigame events start and end without warning. You get one that requires spamming clicks, then instantly switch to another where you have to stop the indicator, and you accidentally click it too early.
- The 30 second plus wait in the cooking minigame is incredibly annoying. It needs to be shorter.
- You can't use the eggs or milk from farming in cooking. They don't go into your inventory.
- There is no source of salmon anywhere anymore, making cooking with it impossible.
- The workshop minigames shouldn't need to have the entire ruleset spelled out every time.
- The white-on-light shapes in the transport minigame are almost impossible to see, especially with my colorblind eyes.
- After I finished building it up to max, the farming game worked for two days, then stopped. Maintenance and resources no longer reset in the morning.
- The work management system likewise appears to have stopped. I don't get money from it in the morning anymore.
- The fishing event at the pond seems to have disappeared entirely.
- When I finish fishing at the beach, I get dropped back at the pond.
- I find the grid placement part of the fishing game to be annoying, and confusing at first. It just doesn't seem necessary.
- There is still no consistency in the girl's interaction choices.
- Half of the interactions still drop you back into your room when finished.
- Heramael's achievements appear to be broken (assuming the goals are the same as with the other girls'). I have all her stats up more than high enough, but have gotten nothing.
- And a couple of her achievements are just unobtainable... there is no option to hug/cuddle her.
- Maeve and Hell have stopped appearing in their rooms, for some reason. The former makes it impossible to complete her achievements. Edit: see the replies below.
- When I went to
headpathandhold Maeve (before she disappeared), I got Asmedia's tailjob instead. - It takes entirely too many clicks to complete some interactions. Asmedia's headpat is six clicks deep, for example. At the very least, I think the interactive menus should start in the open position.
- The shop interfaces are inconvenient. You have to set the quantity spinner before making your choice, and have to cancel/back up if you forget. And there's also no way to see how much you already have in inventory.
- The top-screen items (girls, etc.) disappear seemingly at random in the handling and girls' rooms, among other places.
- The maps sometimes show characters in places where they aren't, and don't show them in places where they are.
- Exiting the portal locations still drops you back into your room.
- At night, it is impossible to exit the school or library locations, except through the "home" button.
- There are way too many missing/mis-linked images to list. Mostly in the interactive lewds, but also, e.g. in the new Izamami fishing event.
- When I was trying to buy fan art, I accidentally backed up at the wrong time, and the art stayed on-screen permanently. I had to reload from my last save.
I imagine some of these are known and being worked on, but I'm cataloging everything I can think of. I hope we can get these and others like them cleaned up quickly, so we can make a fun game even better. Thanks!
