discussion Unity Squid Massage3D [2.00 beta] [TUKADA (Squidrump Enthusiasts)]

The game is pretty brutal atm. It seems like all it takes is one bad action for a character to be cast into the 'forever terrible mood' box. Weirdest case was when it happened after an action the ai initiated...
But I love the vision this game has. It's definitely not easy to make a game with free roaming AI.
Seems like the easiest soft locks are with the phone getting stuck out after someone initiates a conversation while answering the phone. Had one instance where a character got stuck on the sofa and the game acted as if she was somewhere else and was forever stuck like that. Getting stuck in a date that the AI didn't arrive to was fixed with the emergency unstuck that sends you to the maids room (Which has save me a lot of times). Also seems like some times the AI gets stuck in a loop spamming conversations the very moment the last one ended (seems to be more common when two characters are near you). The Massage Center seems to have a few issues, textures not loading and conversations being had from different rooms, and characters can stand in a location where they can talk at you but you can't target them at all.

If you want a slightly easier time (by not much to be honest, Terrible Mood forever box is around every corner still), I suggest opening Cheat Engine when you create your character and target your skill points by searching the value every time you spend one. Once you find the value, freeze it, then max out everything.

From experience, the forever bad mood is due to being horny for too long with no release. Basically they are sexualy frustrated. What i do is leave them for a day or 2 with out interacting with them gets them normal faster.

And this is the guys first 3d and free roaming game. If you read their dev logs you can see all his hurdals and surprise difficulties. But it has not discouraged him. Again, "hate" points have always been to easy to gain and hard to loose in his games. BUT for me it wasn't that bad of an effect.


If you have a hard time use the hypno app. Or wait for the game to be done. Because if i recall right. After the battle system is done he will focus on balance, performance, the code, fixis, etc. Typically his games are a lot easier once its publicly available. The last game after publicly released after it git feedback he listened and fixed things. Balance and polish while not ignored, he tends to make the content a priority first. So the game is usually more balanced near/after the game goes public.

For now, if the game is to difficult, use the hypno app.

Noted, interesting that the two are related.
I played the previous games so I am fine with the toughness of it, just meant to address it as a general statement relative to those who may not be familiar with the difficulty of his games.
I often prefer games that punish actions that are obviously bad. As soon as Artificial Academy(turning into Koikatsu) lost the ability to have negative results, I lost most of my interest in those games. What is the point of being able to make decisions when they all end up exactly the same. I'd rather have a chance of making a negative relationship, or maybe something twisted. Having everything be 'ultra-forgiving love you no matter what', pulls me out of any investment I can have in a Sandbox.
