Playtesting

[flamewielder]

A fan of the original SimBro, I was pleasantly surprised to learn a developer has picked up the concept and is giving it a "facelift". I realize this is still early access and that many features from the original SimBro have not yet been implemented, so my comments are meant to help, not criticize the hard work that already went into this "Reserection" ;)

Here are some observations from my playtesting so far:

• When a girl is assigned to a Maid station, it should not be available to serve clients. We are not paying her enough to both make and dirty the beds... Cleaning up after everyone is work enough! ;)
  
• After "giving a new girl a try", it would be helpful to see what her personality is, not just her scores.
  
• When instructing the receptionist, in addition to Opening/Closing hours and setting girl assignment rules, we should also be able to set bonuses as a percentage, say 0%-10%-20%, as was possible in the original SimBro. This helps in managing the girls' mood and keep them as happy and productive as you can without having to micro-manage bonuses for each individual girl.

The Maid logic should be applied to the Receptionist: both are likely too busy to serve clients, so should not appear in the list of girls available for clients.

Thank you very much! This helps a lot!

The Bank: before working on any other bank feature, such as negociating a new loan, making a deposit or seducing the cute teller (and banging her brains out in the meeting room ), we need the loan repayment function to work. At the moment, the bank accepts your money but does not update the loan balance...

Perhaps that bank teller is a Klepto, and is pocketing your payments? That would explain her expensive designer outfit and Gucci handbag? It's a sad day when the collector thug honestly remembers you paid your weekly $1000, when the bank does not...

This is intentional because paying off your loan directly relates to the story and Eva's character arc. Adding it in would cause problems when we add those things into the game. The option is there, but it doesn't take any of your money.
