Make sure you're in spring or summer as Maggie is only really active during those seasons. If you are then I think there may be a bug that has been fixed in future versions. Let me know the summer/spring thing and if it doesn't work, I can try and get a hotfix.
the 'Manager' tier allows you access to the latest build + cheatcode + 4k wallpapers and all patreon posts. A new version is set to come out September 3rd if you're considering it!
As for Maggie, make sure that you're in spring/summer because of her hobby. We might make it so that that isn't restricted to those seasons.
Incase anyone, like me, was absolutely stumped about Maggie always being "Not Available" no matter what time of day or how many days have passed. I was thinking that maybe it was bugged or something since I don't recall there ever being a message or something about them only being available for that portion of the year.
Edit: Nevermind, I guess? Even a week into Spring when visiting her while available it has always been MC promising an actual visit "Soon". Maybe it actually has to be Summer?
I did beat the introductory chapter battle, by the skin of my teeth though. Because I just barely won I thought it better to level a bit and build my deck a bit more before trying to progress passed that. Got to a point in Fall when I went to try to progress and discovered she's only available in Spring/Summer.
Spring came around and when I go to visit I either can talk to her or sometimes peep on her. When talking to her the conversation is: "Hey, Maggie, thought I'd stop by." > "MC! Hi, do you want to come in?" > "No, sorry. I was in the area so I figured I'd come by to see if you were alright." > "That's really sweet of you. I'm doing okily-dokily." > "That's good, I'll come for a proper visit soon, Mags." > "Sounds terrific! I'll see you then, MC"
Then it's back to the front doorstep to decide what to do. The same conversation happens at all hours of the day she's available. Spam slept til Summer to see if that helped and it's still the same.
If I go to peep on her I get the same error MadSargeant described a couple weeks ago.
I am also unable to give her any gifts when I have one equipped.
Oh, that's because of the gifting system. To progress to each chapter, you'll need to gift them items and hangout with them until they get 3 stars. You can only gift one item to each person a day.
I think the Maggie bug has been fixed for 0.03. Also, I forgot how far into Maggie's story we managed to get in 0.02.
Great game. One issue I had was that I completed the tutorial and got stuck looking at the Deck Manager. After smashing all the keys on my keyboard I have no idea how to get to the rest of the game. Also there is no X to leave anywhere in the Deck Manager. Just a question mark that explains the Deck Manager and a place to buy more cards that you can't afford because you start with 500$. I'm not mad just confused.
The game prompts you to buy 4x Bronze I decks, once you've bought 4 of them, you'll be allowed to exit out. The game gives you a secret amount of money that basically gets you those decks without spending any money
On the android version i cant hang out with Juliet at all. No matter what room she is in i get an error and i either have to rollback, or hit ignore and it throws me into a different room. I've barely started the game and feel like a big piece of the current early content is inaccessible.
I'll have a look into that and get a hotfix out asap, check back in a few hours from now or even just tomorrow. I know there's a really weird bug to do with Juliet with the android version that doesn't affect the the android emulator on the game engine so it baffles me how and why that even occurs. I thought I fixed it hence the (_a) portion of the version, let's see if I can try again.
Alternatively, the PC and MAC versions should work fine, this bug is only an android issue and is actually stupid.
Maybe this bug has been already fixed in Patreon Builds, but whenever I try to hang out w/ Juliet (Chapter 4/11), I'm just redirected to my bedroom, and nothing else happens. But aside from that, I really like this game, especially its ambiance!
It has definitely been fixed by then I reckon, the next public release for itchio will be on the 3rd of August so there isn't really any point to do a hot fix for 0.01. Thank you so much! Really appreciate your feedback :D
During the games, is there more to it than just plain luck? I mean even if i get cards etc it all comes down to luck, but if so how are some of the 'boss' battles so difficult? any help?
Here are some tips for the Love & Seduction card game: 1. Utilize BIRD cards for when the opponent has ultra sense so that you aren't immediately at a disadvantage. (The AI will always pick a card stronger than yours unless they don't have one, in which case, they will pick their weakest card to discard). 2. Save your high powered cards for when YOU have ultra sense so you can guarantee high damage. 3. I suggest having approx 10 cards in your deck. You can have a minimum or 5 or a maximum of as many as your power level can hold but 10 is the sweet spot between good damage and good sustain. 4. If the bosses are too hard, you may need to level up. Each time you level up, you gain 2 more HP, and 4 more power slots in your deck. It's really useful for lasting a little longer or just holding more high damage cards to end them quicker. Boss fights unlike the normal 'dates' you go on via the SMS app do not scale in difficulty, if you're having trouble with a boss, simply levelling up will increase your chances of winning.
Yes it's partially RNG but BIRD cards and the Ultra-sense systems are meant to add strategy and swing things into your favour and if you have the right deck build, you should win more often than not (unless you're under powered).
when you click on have fun with juliet nothing happens and you just see the background with an x in the corner to close it. dunno if that's meant to happen as I'm just playing on the free version here but thought you should know
Ah yes, scenes for that are added once you finish her story. It's empty because no scenes have been unlocked yet, I should put an indicator or a note of that for the future!
So far, really compelling concept and I like the strategy puzzle aspect that you've worked into the dating metaphor. Did run into a bug with the gallery in the public version - seems like some of the pictures are missing references and it stops progress/unlocks on it. Hopefully something easy to fix and I can't wait to see continued development updates!
Thank you for the feedback and report! That has been fixed for Ver 0.02 and we'll definitely continue making this game better and better with loads of content
My game won't let me do anything it's just constantly saying I need to give Juliet a gift but don't have one equipped whenever I try to talk to her even though I do have one equipped.
Sorry it isn't very clear in the demo, we've improved and explained it better in newer versions. Gifts can only be given once per day, so if it seems like she's not accepting the gift, it's because you've already given her one that day. Wait for the next day and try again and it SHOULD trigger the gift giving sequence.
That would work, but I literally can't do anything else. The app for going on dates won't open, so I can't do anything to pass the time and go to the next day.
Hmmm that might require a save restart if you're playing on 0.01B. I believe we've implemented the gifting tutorial at the beginning, which teaches the player how to gift items before unlocking the ability to sleep and or use the dating (SMS) app. If that gifting thing isn't working, maybe a trigger was missed. Let me know how that goes? Another requirement is to add cards into your deck using the deck manager and also opening the wardrobe at least once.
We can try and release a 0.01B_b version that adds a hotfix in the in-game phone settings that marks the gifting tutorial as complete, but that'll be in a day or two.
For some reason, I don't have the option to hang out with Juliet after the first CG, and Maggie has always shown up as being "Not Available" when I go to check. Am I missing something?
Hey, to hang out with Juliet or any future characters, you have to gift them a gift item. You'll need to earn 3 stars (in the phone contacts) for them to advance the story aka hangout. It was explained in the story but I think I can improve on that in future builds.
As for Maggie, make sure that you're in spring/summer because of her hobby. We might make it so that that isn't restricted to those seasons.
Thank you very much. A Town Uncovered will still be worked on along side this project. There were so many mistakes learnt and things I wanted to implement in ATU but couldn't. Sugar Service will be that game that I had envisioned for ATU but was too early in my Adventure VN Game Dev life cycle to do properly.
I'm loving the refreshing gameplay in this, mate! Love card games done right.
Is there a [further] guide somewhere that explains the use of Charisma/Strength/etc and if/why we should be blowing money on upping those? Seems like I get tips based on the skill level of the opponent and not the skill level of the trait for which they tip?
Also...I've got NSFW mode turned on but the only babe around is Juliet and...I guess I'll just...keep paying her? while otherwise just playing cards against people I assume are women based on their names. Again: love the gameplay, but where's it going? Where's the NSFW content?
Lastly: some more/better clothing and styling choices would be inconsequentially nice. Not into the platinum bowl cut and baggy everything this dude seems to think is realistic as a male escort in [any year, let alone] 2022.
Hey, thank you so much for this well-written feedback!
Going into the logic of things, the date that you've accepted will randomly pick 1 of the 5 stats that they "value highly" and then the tips generated are (1% of the earning) x the stat in choosing. Also noted that the tip is rounded to the closest dollar above $0.
For example, they give you $100 and they value passion. You have a passion level of 10 so you get a tip of $10. (1% of 100 x 10, rounded to closest dollar).
Originally, we were going to use those stats for story-purposes as well but I think we'll implement a minimum requirement for when you take characters out on dates in the town. Say, you want to take Juliet to go to the bar, you'll need to have enough Charisma for her to accept the date.
As the game grows, the balancing of things will be iffy so I need to keep an eye on it.
There are 3 CGs in the demo, 2x of Juliet and 1x of Maggie which looks to me that you haven't unlocked her yet? To unlock Maggie, you need to be level 3+ and the seasons have to be either summer or spring (this is due to her hobby). Head to the bedroom and you'll receive a notification saying that you've got a VIP Client.
All the CG art has nude versions that we planned to be automatically unlocked when you've completed their 10 chapter storyline aka unlocked girlfriend mode. But as a temporary fix, we made it so you can unlock them by purchasing them in the phone's gallery (with nsfw mode on green).
Also I should note that investing in the camgirl characters, we plan to have it so that when you reach investment milestones, you'll unlock more clothing options for them to wear around, the higher the investment, the more risqué or special the outfits become.
Not sure if you reached the end of Juliet's story for the demo but in case it wasn't clear and tell me if it wasn't, I can then improve it. You have to gift and hangout with a character 3x (3 stars in the contacts page) for them to activate the next chapter of their storyline. You'll definitely know if you reach the end if you see the 'In Development: thanks for playing this far' card.
Version 0.01B will include a complete Juliet storyline so that'll include all her story CGs plus a showcase of the sex animations (yes, multiple). I still really like the look of frame by frame animation personally so that'll probably be what we're looking at doing. That's due in March 2023.
And we're definitely going to add more clothing (and hair option) when we open up the barber shop. The demo only includes the basics as it was just there to test all the dress-up features.
In which case it would appeal to my personal tastes if you, the engenderer, would place some in this game. However, if you do not optate to integrate such characters in this game, it still would be a good game nonetheless.

On the android version it's not letting me vist Maggie at all
Make sure you're in spring or summer as Maggie is only really active during those seasons. If you are then I think there may be a bug that has been fixed in future versions. Let me know the summer/spring thing and if it doesn't work, I can try and get a hotfix.
Thanks its working now
Thanks for letting me know!

Version 0.03B coming out for FREE on November 3rd here.

the 'Manager' tier allows you access to the latest build + cheatcode + 4k wallpapers and all patreon posts. A new version is set to come out September 3rd if you're considering it!
thanks!

"MC promising an actual visit 'Soon'"
Can you explain that further? Is that something he says to her? Did you beat the introductory chapter's boss battle
Sure!
I did beat the introductory chapter battle, by the skin of my teeth though. Because I just barely won I thought it better to level a bit and build my deck a bit more before trying to progress passed that.

I'm doing okily-dokily." > "That's good, I'll come for a proper visit soon, Mags." > "Sounds terrific! I'll see you then, MC"
Then it's back to the front doorstep to decide what to do. The same conversation happens at all hours of the day she's available. Spam slept til Summer to see if that helped and it's still the same.

Gotcha, thanks for the responses! Looking forward to the next update, hope things go by smoothly for you!
I found a bug where during peeking at Maggie in Garden.
Can you describe what it is so I can possibly fix it?
OSError: Couldn't find file 'images/cg/maggie/hscenes/maggie_masturbation1/cg_maggie_masturbation1_cumin.png'

That seems to have solved the issue, can interact with Juliet without issue.
Awesome! Glad that worked then.

I encountered the next bug:
Error: bossmatch353
Doesn't let me advance the story.
Thanks! If this is for version 0.01B_a, it has probably been fixed already (but for future versions, we're currently almost about to release 0.03B)
It still have this error on android😢
If you're playing on 0.01B, it's probably broken there but it has been fixed by 0.02, I think.
hey you should finish detected after dark :)
I'll try and add in the last few rooms we have and ready to be released in time for Halloween, hopefully. That's the plan.
can't wait
Android version?
Will definitely look into it for 0.03B (July Release - Patreon)
Thanks

where can i download the latest versions from and not demo
You can download the latest version on our Patreon but a new free version (Ver 0.01B) will be available on here early May!
My game won't let me do anything it's just constantly saying I need to give Juliet a gift but don't have one equipped whenever I try to talk to her even though I do have one equipped.

"to meet end's meet" I think you mean 'make'. Typos happen, believe me! Will check out your game.
Ayee! Thanks, yeah that's a woopsies. I've fixed that/ updated the description.
Okay, but lets say I don't WANT to dominate them, is that okay too?
That's more than okay! You can barely scrape by if that's your jam :D
Needs a big time skip function. (at least the full day)
Will add that into the next update!
For some reason I can't download this on the Itch.io app. I'll try a normal download later, as I still want to give this a fair chance
The external MEGA link is the only thing available right now, sorry

Good demo, GeeSeki! I have enjoyed The Town Uncovered so I was pleasantly surprised to see this. :)

Sugar Service will be that game that I had envisioned for ATU but was too early in my Adventure VN Game Dev life cycle to do properly.
I unlocked Juliet's second CG, but it doesn't appear in the gallery
Oooooh dang, I guess that's our first bug. I just fixed it in the code. I'll put out the hotfix out sometime within 48 hours. Thank you for that.
I'm loving the refreshing gameplay in this, mate! Love card games done right.

I knew I recognised this art style! Def taking a lookie at what new ya cooking up GeeSeki!
I hope you enjoy it, please let me know what you think!
who is prostitute here male or female?
You play as male-escort who hires himself out to rich women. You also manage camgirls as a camgirl agency.
ok ill play then these type of games are my fav where mc is male escort
Will the game have any M/M content?
Possibility of traps/femboy characters in the future
*ahem* repeat?
POSSIBLITY- I'm not at all opposed if enough people want it.
In which case it would appeal to my personal tastes if you, the engenderer, would place some in this game. However, if you do not optate to integrate such characters in this game, it still would be a good game nonetheless.
