I've played it for a couple of hours and I absolutely loved it!
Although the game definitely needs some technical fixes and QOL improvements. The two fixes that I would recommend the most are:
1. The tutorial for fishing should show only when fishing for the first time, or once per game launch.
2. When moving between locations (central square to dock, first to second floor inn), when you accidentally step on a square next to the exit, the game forces you to move again. If you can't fix this directly, I would recommend adding a cancel button to the prompt.
It would also be really nice if you could improve the marks left by strap and paddle, because currently they are quite underwhelming imo.
I am curious what are you planning on adding in the future. Do you plan on adding more severe implements like whips or floggers? Will it be possible to completely undress girls for a spanking (after unlocking an edict)? Will it be possible to spank girls on other places of their body (thighs, back, etc.)?
I also have a few suggestions. First is the ability to give convicts a "chain punishment", like for example 3 spankings of 20 hits. The convicts are held in jail and spanked every day until their punishment is over. The second is the ability to hire a Judge/Helper. I predict that the amount of laws to remember will keep growing, so a character like this would be really helpful in later stages of the game. The helper would reveal one correct aspect of the sentence, like number of hits or the correct implement.
Overall, I'm really excited for future updates and wish you luck with development!
