So far I got five people that their dialogue doesn't work (except the summon dialogue because they are summoned characters). They name are: Allison, Kass, Kat, Joan and Hypno-Tan. Except for this issue, it is a great game. I expect more later.
Changer if you haven't read my older main comments, please read the main points I put here for convenience. I know you said your notifications were being spotty. It's still rather long for a comment but shouldn't take more than a few minutes to read. Don't be afraid to tell me what you think and if you disagree with anything:
-Explain better what happens and what you keep when resetting for pearls (what about pictures, achievements, money and item collection? and how about mentioning being able to re-level girls faster with the pink button?) I am also wondering why willpower is reset to a certain number (1.04 billion specifically?) since it doesn't count towards pearl gain. It would make more sense to cost a fixed amount or based on the number of pearls generated. Also wondering why click power upgrades reset since they also don't count towards pearls, and why beach loyalty doesn't count like other loyalties but gets reset like them.
-There's a bug with either achievement progress or the progress reports after resetting for pearls, at least with the 100,000 level achievement. For example if you got 51,000 levels before resetting, you'd keep the 50,000 achievement and the progress report for the 100,000 achievement would still say 51,000, but the actual progress on the achievement seems to be reset. That means you'd have to get to 51,000 from scratch before you start seeing it increase anymore, and then another 49,000 levels to get the 100,000 achievement.
-Buff spiral power to compensate for back when you buffed click power upgrades (or made them cheaper) in a past version. Because of that, spiral power and Titnosis fall way behind click power and the Crystal Pendulum (since it multiplies click power) as you make progress in the game. At one point for me, click power was about 110 billion but despite also leveling my girls, spiral power was just 10 million. Click power was about 11000 times stronger. My higher level girls had 10+ billion health and conquest girls had hundreds of billions to trillions of health at that point. Spiral power at 10 million did nothing to any of them. While you could buff the spiral power increase factor by a proportional amount, I suggested that spiral power could increase with click power upgrades (rather than with leveling up girls) so that it doesn't fall so behind. It doesn't have to be a 1/1 ratio either, it could be 1/2, 1/5 or 1/10 of click power. I think achievements should also give a 5% bonus to spiral power like they do to click power. Titnosis would basically take that many seconds (1, 2, 5 or 10 respectively) to do the same damage as 1 click. Any of those would be way more reasonable than 11,000 seconds.
-Add Assnosis as an alternate version of Titnosis, yes it's a thing. It'd work like Titnosis but with Helen turned around and swaying her ass back and forth at you. The Titnosis upgrades in the shop would apply to it too. You could eventually even add an option and dialogue for it for when Helen puts you in a trance, to give it another purpose.
-The elf battles are tough to figure out for newer players. Even then, they can still be hard. They aren't explained very well and the sensitive spots are small and hard to find. Players may not know whether they're doing the fights right or whether they just don't have enough pearls. I suggested that when Helen is giving hints about the fights, instead of just saying "sensitive spots" she should say something like "sensitive spot that changes" and maybe something like "click it repeatedly", to better describe how the fights work. I also think the hitboxes should be much bigger, like a whole body part which is much more expected. For example the whole thigh, belly, face, breast or ear, though upper arm and lower arm can stay separate. Players would still have to find the one currently sensitive body part, it'd just make it more fair. If there are two of the same parts such as ears, arms, breasts or thighs, maybe clicking on either one should count. But just making the hitboxes bigger and having Helen give a better explanation would help.
Thanks for the compliment. Unfortunately I'm not a developer, but I am good at finding or noticing things, thinking from a new players' perspective and try to think things through. I know there's other bugs like with some of the loyalty bar displays on buildings, and the girls' outfits getting unlocked before or after you unlock the appropriate conversation scene with them if that counts. But those kinds of things are numerous, not as important, and he's probably aware that there's stuff like that.
Speaking of display things though, I do think the stripper pole and good girl club pictures should be in the girls' profiles with the rest of their pictures, so you don't have to keep checking the photo gallery to see if you've unlocked them or to view them. They are even unlocked in the same manner as the rest of their pictures. They don't need to be "hidden" in the photo gallery, especially once the player finds out about them.
If you're having trouble with the Elves, or the Angel/Demon War, then just get more Pearls. With enough, you can do damage, no matter where you click an Elf Girl. I currently have over 100K, and I easily crush them. If you need to earn Pearls quickly, go to the Countryside. You can earn a TON of Pearls there really quickly, if your Click Power is level 250+. If it's not, use the W+P+N cheat to earn 5Q per use. Using it once is enough to cover the cost for Click Level 250 .
The pink Skip Button is very costly: if you can, try to avoid using it. The more levels you try to skip at once, the more extra WP you're charged for it, up to 2.5x the combined cost of the levels you're trying to skip.
As for Click Power, it gets up to 10 QT by level 400, while Spiral Power remains at 10M. I'm getting the impression that once your Click Level is high enough, Spirals become unnecessary. If you know all these tips, you can easily progress the story.
So if you have a ton of pearls you can damage them by clicking anywhere? Interesting, didn't know since I haven't gotten super far in the game before losing progress and haven't gotten around to trying again. Still, you shouldn't need to have a crazy amount of pearls or cheat to go to the Elf Kingdom for the first time. Nor should the fights be hard to figure out and win due to a small, invisible, changing weak point and lack of a good explanation or hints about how it works (wow, that actually sounds kind of like quantum physics).
I wasn't aware the W+P+N cheat still worked because I couldn't get it to work. How exactly do you do it? Just press the W+P+N keys in that order? Do you have to hold all 3 down at the same time? Does Caps Lock or capitalization matter?
Are you sure the pink skip button actually costs more? I thought it charged the same amount for each level you wanted to skip per click. So for example if it costed 5000 WP for 1 level, I thought it'd cost 50000 if you set the skip button to 10 levels. Of course after each click the cost would go up, but per each click I thought it was the same for however many levels you selected.
While Spiral Power may become unnecessary after awhile, that wasn't really the point. I'm saying it should still have a reasonable impact, and that the Crystal Pendulum shouldn't become the only useful option. After all the game does have "Spiral" in the title. Also it would let Titnosis serve its purpose: Doing damage and/or earning willpower without clicking or by AFKing.
Hold W+P, and press N for 5Q willpower. Keep pressing it for 5Q each. Caps Lock has no effect. Yes, I have checked. The Skip Button charges a certain amount extra, depending on how many levels you're trying to skip. The early levels aren't really a problem here: it's the later levels that really cut into your WP. Almost all of the girls start needing NONs, after a few thousand levels. By Lv 10,000, only Helen and Sally are still in the Qs. By 20K, only Helen. Helen is easily the cheapest girl in the game overall. Her initial cost starts out higher than some of the early Campus girls, but at Lv. 50K, when everyone else costs several NON per level, she's still costing a bit less than 200Q per level. I literally had to download an Auto Clicker program to make up the time difference in leveling girls up. Also, I recently discovered that earning Loyalty from Campus, City and Countryside can also earn you a crapton of Pearls.
The first 200 levels net you 1 Pearl every 20 levels. From there to 300, it increases to 1 per 10 levels. For each hundred after that, the overall Pearl gain increases by 4.
In the Countryside alone, I've earned about 36,000 Pearls I have yet to redeem. This is because I'm now earning 14+ Pearls per level. Pearl gain seems to be equal in all regions, so start with the Campus. The only reason I use the Country is because you gain enormous amounts of WP there, so it's not difficult to upgrade Click Power & empty the girl's WP gauges.
Alright got W+P+N to work, thanks. I think it was because I thought it was W+N+P which doesn't work, so order does matter. But I don't really want to use it unless I happen to lose my save again. Seems a little counterproductive that the skip button costs extra willpower. The whole reason you'd use it is to regain lost levels faster. Why still leave people with a set back by charging extra? But I'm doubting that you need to or are even expected to level the girls as high or get as much willpower as you did, because as you said when the numbers start getting so high it causes visual problems and slows down the game. Also the last achievement for total levels is 100,000 which you can get by leveling each girl to level 2000 - 3000 if you have most or all of them.
But you also used an autoclicker which isn't supposed to be necessary, nor do I think it should be. That actually only adds to my point I was making about Spiral Power and Titnosis. Titnosis is like a slow, semi-autoclicker or would have been, but Titnosis is not useful for draining willpower at later levels or even after the early levels, which is one of the main times that you'd actually want to use an autoclicker. Also Titnosis and the regular Spiral would supplement your own clicking, if they actually did reasonable damage later on. But as you said, Spiral Power doesn't really increase after it reaches 10M. Meanwhile the Crystal Pendulum, instead of relying on Spiral Power, multiplies click power by about 20X with a well-timed click. So that 10 QT click power at level 400? That becomes about 200 QT with a well-timed click, while Titnosis and the regular Spiral become useless well before then. That's why Spiral Power should be much higher or increase at a rate proportional to Click Power.
I did notice that the Countryside and Beach conquests generate lots of willpower after awhile. But with the Beach it doesn't make sense that the Loyalty doesn't count towards pearl generation, and that despite not counting for pearls, it gets reset when you reset for pearls. Yes you can use Countryside and the other regions for pearls but it's still strange.
It seems Spiral Power got a huge buff in V0.31. Instead of being stuck in the millions, mine now deals 1.1T of damage. It's still less than a millionth of my Click Power, but it used to be much lower, so big improvement. I don't play the Beach anymore, since I got the CGs. I use the Countryside exclusively, because of the absurdly high Pearl yield. Recently, I've only been leveling up a few girls at a time, in order to properly measure how many Pearls I'm getting from Regional Loyalty. However, with only 5 or 6 girls above level 1, I still have a massively boosted Spiral Power. I assume that taking the time to max everyone out would be an even more massive Spiral power-up. I've been double and triple checking the rate of Loyalty Pearl gain for each Region. I listed the Campus in a previous comment. Once I've confirmed the numbers, I'll post the City and Countryside rates.
Oddly enough, the Spiral does absolutely nothing to the Campus girls now, but is still perfectly effective against your Harem Girls. Not sure why, probably a minor bug.
So it was buffed just recently, nice. I don't think I was the only one who said something about it but I've definitely been one of the most vocal about it. That's actually about a 100,000x increase which should help it keep up for a lot longer, or at least if you level every girl rather than just a few. Maxing out every girl might not result in more spiral power if there's a cap based on total levels, but otherwise it might.
When you say Spiral does nothing to the Campus girls now, does that include the City, Countryside and Beach conquest girls or just the College Campus conquest girls? Probably a bug either way. Helping against the conquest girls is one of Spiral Power's main uses. That includes having Titnosis keep doing it for you while you relax or take a break. So hopefully it's just a bug.
I haven't tested it against the City, Country and Beach girls yet. I'll do that today. The buff is actually about 1Mx previous Spiral Power, since it it went from millions to trillions, and since I spent last night maxing out several girls at 50k, my Spiral should be much stronger. I'll edit this comment when I have the number.
Edit: My SP is now 4T. That's so much better than before. Spiral Glitch extends to City and Country. Probably Beach, too.
Wow yeah, even if accounting for each level getting more expensive, is still probably comes out to 4x the normal price or more. I don't think it should cost that much just to save some clicking to get back to levels you've gotten your girls to before. Even if such a "shortcut" should still cost something, 2x the normal price would be plenty.
