So, I take the wilds of Raana are not accessible? I created a couple of gunslingers intending to earn my bread in the jungle -- but I never could find a way out of the city... Or, did I just miss something huge?

So, another comment -- this one a little more broad and revolving around the core mechanic of sex and slavery in the game...

First, I like that the MC has a sex drive that is always increasing and (presumably) has to be managed. I never got past "throbbing," but I took this as a serious motivation and acted accordingly. However, attempts to sate that drive ran into a serious hurtle with regards to the slaves he owns. He took them for long walks, bought them chocolate, raised their arousal to level 20+ only to be turned down cold for sex -- more than once, and never bringing their level of affection beyond "neutral." So... He resorted to more severe means to achieve satisfaction, which poisoned his relationship with the slave in question, of course.

A couple of points regarding this situation:

In desperate, apocalyptic setting presumably awash in sex slaves (to judge by the goods the vendors sell, if nothing else), why aren't their prostitutes -- willing or otherwise -- available? Only judging by the new v0.7 screen captures, it appears that this has been addressed at least in a singular instance... Still, this seems like it should be a much more substantial component of the game world.

More broadly, however, I would suggest you might want to re-think the mechanics of the MCs relationship with his slaves... He seems to treat them better than your typical Tinder hook-up and gets no satisfaction. I understand you're trying to emphasize the need to build a relationship between the MC and the slaves. However, this seems to go too far.

In a savage, lawless world if a property holder offers a female slave a choice between his bed (for otherwise non-abusive sex) and the whip -- the overwhelming majority will choose the bed. The slave might not especially enjoy it, and it won't necessarily lead to an affectionate relationship between them, but there is plenty worse the MC could do...

To address this issue, I would suggest you expand your relationship model between master and slave from a single axis defined along a continuum between love and hate to a multi-axis model, which would add at least one more variable, which I've tentatively labelled "numb":

The idea being that if the MC insists on sex with a slave who would otherwise be unwilling, she nevertheless goes along with it, but grows more and more emotionally withdrawn -- harder to teach and engage with emotionally, but docile.  Given the MC's strong sex drive and seeming inability to persuade (!) his own slaves to have sex with him, it seems like some type of re-think is required here...

Thanks!

Hi Is there a way to increase the maximum number of slaves or buy a new house with more slots?

Good news!

I was finally able to persuade one of my "slaves" to have sex with me and her willpower crumpled from there, leaving her a willing meat puppet who fervently enjoys whatever my imagination (and the game mechanics) will allow... With that new perspective, I feel like I have some more refined suggestions for your continued development.

Having become better acquainted with your lore, I think there is a fundamental misunderstanding that I brought to the game -- which many others might, as well -- but I think it is easily remedied. From your own material advertising the game and even much of the content within the game itself, I was expecting a sort of hard-edged slavery as practiced by the ancient Romans: a master could kill a slave at a whim and no one would care more, from a legal or moral perspective, than if today you crumpled up a piece of paper and tossed it away.

Consequently, slaves were pretty highly motivated to see their master's wishes fulfilled -- and an attractive (and therefore expensive) female slave brought into the household of a wealthy man and dressed in silks would have no illusions about what was expected of her and would most likely comply as the least painful alternative available to her. Anyway, this was the impression I was left with, based on "buying" characters at a "slave" market.

However, what you have drawn here is much more like a feudal system: it's a contract that two parties willingly enter into and, much like a modern contract, each party has certain rights and obligations -- and sexual favors are not included. To be sure, there is a gross power imbalance between the two sides of this contract, but that doesn't mean that no contract exists or that society will turn a blind eye to people who violate it.

This, I think, brings us to the point of the game you are trying to create... These women, desperate for food and shelter, willingly commit themselves to service (not slavery) in exchange for a safe and predictable life. It's a bargain. Then, people like our enterprising MC in your game come along and try to subvert that bargain by clever psychological means -- transforming maids into lovers and lovers into docile puppets who see fulfilling their lord's wishes as representing the simultaneous fulfillment of their own.

Then our MC can sell that maid's contract -- at a substantial profit -- with the understanding that much (if not all) of her docility and experience will transfer to a new lord after a relatively short transition period (during which, no doubt, many tears will be shed).

And, the best part is, you don't need to make any deep changes to your game at all -- you just need to make more clear what the rules of this world are. Instead of "buying a slave," the MC should "buy out a contract." Instead of a desperate family selling themselves into slavery, they should sell themselves into "service," and so forth...

I think by providing some additional context -- which will, at the same time, serve to further flesh out the lore of your world -- you'll have a crackling game in place that won't confuse players who thing they are buying "slaves." The only minor adjustment I can see you would have to make is that the "slave" assessment center would need to be moved out of city hall -- because it is presumably at least technically illegal to turn your contracted maids into fuck puppets -- and into some underworld setting.

Indeed, such a neutral arbiter of "slave" value could serve as a focal point of conflict between the game's warring syndicates... I'm just sayin'...

Be well!

Is there some reason that you don't have this project on Patreon? I can't help but think you'd make more money (certainly from me) if you were set up to take monthly contributions... I can't imagine you're making but a pittance by selling copies for "Name Your Own Price." The quality the work you've already done, plus your frequent  updates and readiness to communicate with your audience would put you in very good stead with projects I'm following over there. I mean, you'd likely still make a pittance -- but at least you would make it every month. And, who knows, it might turn into more than a pittance...

I think there should be a simple tutorial on training slaves, simple because certain slaves are extremely difficult while others are easy.

I can understand not wanting to allow a player to save midway through a tense negotiation or fight but I find it very frustrating to try something, have it fail and get pulled into a combat I have very little hope of winning and have to either play it through to my inevitable loss or close the game and reload a save. I'd very much suggest having a way of surrendering a losing fight or allowing a player to load saves any time.

how do i update and keep my save file? and when is sofia's picture being added? ty 

Does Kymanto Hall give out anymore quests after raiding Cyker's Bunker? I was told to come back in a few days, but it's been around 20 now. Is this the last quest in 0.76?

Hey is there any way to get rid of slaves besides abusing them?  Wanting to replace one of the lower tier girls with another combat focused one

Glad I didnt add a new thread, when I can ask here :)
Im like Ookamimoo,  im new the game and kinda not familar with slave training games.  Any tips, hints and tutorial would be apricated. Right now its more like trial and error, and I dont really if im making it worse.  I got my first slave by freeing her from gansters laundering money.  She seems pretty compliant or wiling ?Saying she do anything  after being saved, but the more I try to train her, her happiness looks to be going down.   Im assuming the carrot and stick is the way to do this.  Should I been looking at it in the long term, where shes going to get miserable with her spartan training. But in the long run she will gain happiness back when most the harder training is over ?.  Seems her main skill is in academics too, so I guess I should be letting her study a little ?.   But what benefit would academics bring me ? Will she do my finances and run my businesses ?. That I dont understand. yet.   Theres alot of helpful lore information in the game, so thats good, but something to add to slaves would be nice.  I also did the massive cock, and massive load. I mean why not?  Every man wants that right.. But maybe that could go against me ?.  At least I love the kinky of having a massive load.  being able to jizz a fountain on your girl is a sight to behold.   Might reduce to impressive pp, if massive is going too much against me.  Also only allow two slaves huh ?  Im the type who gets attached to my slaves, like harem building.  So it will kinda suck for me, I wouldnt sell them unless I dislike/hate them.  Im fine with putting them out on loan (loan them to people like renting, ). Maybe theres more ideas like that for the future ?.  Im not really into slave flipping for profits. 

Other than that, the games been really brutal stating out. Following the main quest, the first mission I got totally owned... 1 vs 3 ? and I even did a solder start (and having a rifle early game) and he just get pawned cause the other 3 are pro soldiers,  I did many many reloads and tries, and I cant even hide.  best result I got was -2 fail.  And fighting them as a complete loss and perm injury.,  Surrender was the only option I could do,  Which is not the type of soldier MC I wanted.  Least breaking out was easier.   I've now learned that I should be hiring mercs,  So maybe if I hired 2 mercs with me.   But the game didnt tell me Im suppose to hire mercs straight away, especially for the first mission.  Only on the 3rd mission where im fighting 4 professionals ?  yikes.  Stories so brutal for a new comer. .  Even using soldier MC doesnt turn the tide that much for combat in the first mission. now the 3rd,  They wanted me to attack them within the week, but I hope I can delay the mission at least.  Doesnt give me the time to even attempt to train a slave for combat,

Also didnt like the MCs portraits (young) with teh scar on his face.  So I duped the middle age portrait, I hope in later versions we can at least choose from a bunch of them.   Also like the idea of a female MC, which I saw in another thread, but I full understand thats not an important goal right now.  I find female MCs nice in a world where you fighting as an underdog and noone expects anything from you, they just look down on you until you fuck them  up.  Fem dom all the way ^_~

I like the new update, and the combat encounter system. The new merc system is good as well.

However, the number of encounters is a bit thin. Could a "Look for Trouble" type function be added back in until more combat zones are added?

Thanks.

so how do we get rid of the WIP?

I love the game, but its a bit confusing.
Is there a gouid or a walktrou with tipps ?

Also I wanted to ask if you could make a cheat console ? Because I love the game but dont have all day to grind my stats, money and more...
Would even support on patrion :)

Can the discord link in the itch.io page and the game be changed to a perma link? Neither work.

Would be nice if there was some slaves who are virgin with 0 sexual skill that cab be trained up for Master. Or even trained up and sold for some distinct tasted lord or lady as personal slave

I have played 150 days of in-game this game so far mostly grinding money and stats. So i decided to post some ideas, suggestion so dev can think what is worth to notice what is not and i dont know much what is possible with HTML.

• First i think there could be more slaves even if they are generic, more opportunities to upgrade estate also estate income, like building greenhouses, workshops and other.
• Slave management. More slaves mean need more management and as time is limited you cant do all yourself. So some slaves should have certain duties like. Train slave combat, train slave household skills, train slave sexual skills, manage slave needs overseer working slaves. And certain skill to define how many slaves one can manage without penalties.
• As we have seen Slaves have somekind of inventory where you can put perfumes and other stuff to have benefits. Also players should have kind of inventory to acquire items.  Like horse for get faster movement between location or even some other ways to move. Some wearable what give influence or other skills.
• more courses, maybe other type of "schools", where you can push your psychical skills, train combat skills or learn more about stealth and manipulation actions
• And maybe have other kind of servant, subservient than slaves, like personal retinue or agents for some kind of jobs
• Player rank: i i see, influence gives some rank in society, but there could also be that rank that reflects the world,  Weak society chairman might be no one in world. or low rank in stong society might still give you strong position in world
• I seemed to make mistake by wiping out all inventment oportunitys, there could be more investment oputunitys and also some that needs more influence
