Just finished the update, here's my thoughts:
All in all, I feel like this was a pretty solid update. I also appreciate the change to the dev room, placing area-specific sprites in their own rooms. (And this isn't a game design thing, but I did like the new gallery scenes - nipple penetration that doesn't involve male parts is something I personally like.)
I do have a question of my own - do you have plans to add any bigger sizes, or is 1600 going to stay the max?
Firstly, thanks for the feedback.
I'm glad you liked the puzzles and "combat". I think it's kind of funny being made in RPGM but not using the RPG combat, but it saves me a lot time involving balancing and additional mechanics.
Hmm, that gives me an idea actually. I've been kind of unsure about what to do about the casino, but now that I think about it I could put the saved NPCs in there so you can talk to them after being saved. If I do that it'll be with the extra storage modes update.
I did add a little bit of additional dialogue for the lab NPCs. Both the Drs have a multiple dialogues and Miranda will mention she ended the lockdown to Shelly and Gregory. I was considering having Miranda interact more than that but that will have to be later.
To answer your question, I might increase the max size a little more, but it definitely won't go beyond the limit of 2000. I'm not sure if people can even tell, but at the current max size there are a few images missing, which is part of what I'm going to rectify with the next update.
Also, I'm betting that someone is going to do the whole lab and not touch a single locker and then learn that they can open the lockers somewhere else.
I figured the question about the lockers was out of a worry that people might not look. It was partly my player's intuition, but if you're worried, I do have a suggestion. Maybe there could be a note somewhere advising faculty to keep some spare equipment in their lockers, serving as a hint to players?
P.S. I remember the “My Lovely Ushichichi” from so long ago… and now, with these extra years of wisdom under my belt, I finally understand… “Ushichichi” literally means “cow tits”. Makes me think Miranda might have her work cut out for her on the whole “improving the rights of Ushis” thing, lol.
I appreciate the feedback.
5. I had originally planned for a completely different interaction with those characters, but I couldn't figure out how to work that into the how the story had changed so I scrapped that idea and went with just the simple interactions I have now. I might add another scene with each of them eventually.
6. I made the lore in the lower lab optional and called it a lore dump for a reason lol. The final area won't have that much of a lore dump.
I actually stole the word Ushichichi from a hentai which is now pretty old. The dev note in the gallery says the actual name of it.
