State of the Game

So I've been playing spiral clicker for a bit now, and I thought I would give some feedback.

-Writing: I think with the addition of Mia and Clara, you've finally finished the main set of girls for the campaign. Where I think you should really focus right now is on the game's writing. Joyce and Kathrine have been in the game since launch, yet they've been completely bypassed by other girls in the game. Hell, even DH got her full conversation added before those two. I think there are plenty of girls in the game right now, and rather than shove more in, I really think you should go back through and finish the ones that you have.

-Scaling and Pearls: I honestly have no problem with the pearl mechanic. Upgrades and leveling, on the other hand, I feel are way out of whack. For starters, I don't understand the leveling cost of some girls. Most of the late-game girls are just money-sinks, taking in a ton of willpower but barely putting any out. I know its supposed to add difficulty to the game, but It just feels very grindy right now. At the very least I think the pointer/spiral upgrades should scale more slowly, those things get way out of hand.

-Campus Quest: No real issues here. One thing I do think would be interesting is rather than unlock the campus quest cgs through the campus girls alone, what if you also had to complete the story of certain girls from the main campaign. Either way, I think you're on track here.

These are just my thoughts. I really like this game, I just don't want you to end up with 30+ girls in the game that you then have to go back through and spend months writing stories for. Keep up the good work.

Joyce and Kathrine are a behind on getting story due to not having their CGs yet. I try to have each artist work on one character to keep consistency in style as much as possible, and it happened that AliceVu, the artist who did Helen, Joyce, and Kathrine, had a few months where she could not work. She is working on new art now though and will be trying to get caught up on all of their CGs. I am planning to, in this next update, spend some more time on the writing though.

I am still working on getting the balance right on the different girls. It'll probably take me a bit to pin it down, but I'm hoping to eventually come to a balance that feels good.

Well I may be a little late :D BUT
The best way to upgrade expensive girls is through Time attack in the Library. It doesn't consume willpower. It takes longer than upgrading girls by 25 lvls at once, but you gain their production without losing any WP.

Yeeeee that's def the best way now. I do not remember though, but I am 90% sure that feature was not in the game at the time of writing lmao, but hey, glad people are still enjoying the game
