There will be one last update once someone has finished writing their employee clients and get art, but our main focus has moved on to The Restoration of Aphrodisia for a long while now.
Just started playing and have been enjoying it so far. However, I do have a few suggestions. Starting a new game and each day with the timer stopped would be a great help. Possibly making this a toggleable option for those who prefer a more realistic experience. However, I did find that trying to read the instructions while the daily timer was counting down to be a frustrating start to my first session.
Can you specify what parts you found confusing? A lot of players have said the game is either very easy or very hard, with strangely not much in between. Or else when it's in between people just don't comment on it.
If I may give it a go. One of the things that I noticed right away was the ticking clock at the top that, when highlighted, tells me that that's how long the place is open. You should probably have that paused when you boot up the game for the first time. The next and most pertinent thing would be the tutorial. No offense but it felt like I was just staring at big walls of text with keywords in blue that I needed to remember for a test. My suggestion: to walk them through a step-by-step introduction procedure and "show" each of the mechanics as they apply to the subject. Because we all want to know if the core gameplay (the transformations) is actually fun to use. Then I would walk the player through booking their second appointment so they can play the (in my opinion) much less fun aspect of the game. Maybe have this be an option for first-timers. Hope that this helps.
Thanks for the feedback. For a time we were pursuing a tutorial like that but some poor coding decisions and the overall random nature of the game made us reverse course and fall back to the version today which is more of a lookup help system than a hand-holding one. I'm not sure if Tycoon will ever have a tutorial like this as we are focusing primarily on a new project now, but this will be useful in the future.
I enjoy to play this game and like the overall drawing style. Considering the contente I would like to leave a short story idea here:
How about a short and skinny gay guy who who is bullied by huge and muscly hunks in his gym. In achieving his ideal body he will bring his "boyfriends" to merge with him to get more muscular to show his tourmentors the ropes. After the first sessions he will get more power hungry and do a permant merge with his friend. While growing bigger, taller, more hung and muscular he will attract bigger guys who he tricks to merge with him to get even more powerful. It could be a similar content to the thug content in the game.
Just an idea, but would it be possible to have random encounters for story characters after you finish their arc? Kinda like what employees get? They could either come in to help transform someone else, or they're happy with their new body but still want a temporary change for fun.
I just found myself surprisingly sad because some of the story characters are the ones you grow the most attached to, and after it finishes you never see them again.
We've thought about that, yep. In particular, I wanted to have some followup random events for the Undercroft storyline where you as the player get invited to go to the club, but I'm not sure the random event system is sufficient to tell the story I'd want to there--plus the focus of the game so far is more on the clinic than at you the nameless and genderless proprietor.
This game is GREAT. It is funny and wholesome and I am addicted. The art must have taken SO long and I hope to see more. I also have some things that I would love to show up in the future of this game.
1. I would love a way to fully rehabilitate my main man Doomslayer the raving lunatic.
2. More story missions. there are some that just give me that happy feeling when I complete them and I NEED MORE (please)
3. More art. I love the art. Did I already say that?
4. I did not have any trouble with difficulty in any way, but I have seen some people who have. I see that you can change to easy in patreon, and wonder if you can add a hard mode.
5. More transformation crystals. There are already so many so I would be happy with this amount but there are some other types that I have been thinking about such as an element-type crystal that lets people turn into like sentient fire or some sort. I have also come across some applications that require a different crystal than it says, such as needing a permanent crystal for turning into something for 5 years.
As for 2 and 3, yep, there will be more planned. We work on multiple projects at once--currently our efforts are on the Exile of Aphrodisia sequel game--but we try to get some more story clients and artwork out every update, as long as we have the time and money to commission with.
4, at some point before 1.0 we'll probably add in some more game settings like easy/normal/hard modes that modify income rate and minigame difficulty, as well as perhaps adding player perks and avatar.
5. More crystals at this point is probably unlikely as there are few transformation themes that don't fall into one or more of the existing crystal types. Sometimes a transformation can already go either way with a crystal, like turning a person into a sphinx could be either feralization, or fantasticalization, or both. Some crystals are already used exceedingly sparingly (ie purification). Adding new crystal types would likely just further complicate this.
I think there's a problem with story clients triggering. Never got the third for Andrea Washingtron or Sylvia, and got all three of Courtney's while only getting one of Alyna's despite hiring them at the same time.

Is this game still being updated
There will be one last update once someone has finished writing their employee clients and get art, but our main focus has moved on to The Restoration of Aphrodisia for a long while now.
you can make a mobile version
That'd would unfortunately involve remaking the entire UI which isn't feasible for us at this time.
at least make a website

too confusing
Honestly the calibration is way too hard and confusing even with instructions. I do wish there was an easier mode.
Okay nevermind i can see why it be confusing for newcomers

At first, this game can be a bit confusing and I was lost for a little bit but once I got into it the game was surprisingly engaging! Nice Work!
hope it comes to Android someday.

This is just an idea.
Keep up your work and this overall development!
I was searching game that are related to hypnosis, mind control, or brainwashing/manipulation, but I guess this'll do
there is a problem I can't play on the mac version and I get completely wrong things like money=9999.999.99 and day 999, can you help me?

I am about to go on a rant but hear me out.

Ok rant over. I am off to play more of this.

Keep up the good work!
An android port would be appreciated

Dude, it's not working in mac -_-
First or later you'll add cheat? Or at last something that make the transformation thing easy
Cheats are enabled on the Patreon-backer build of the game, if that's what you mean by making the transformation thing "easy".
you have patreon?
I do: https://www.patreon.com/BlueFairyMediaGames
