1: The editor has been modified to work with my version, but when editing existing girls created with other editors you first need to delete any traits that don't exist in my version (The editor doesn't know how to handle them, so tends to ignore them. Then you get errors when the girls are loaded) and change all "Bestiality" to "OralSex"

2: Probably. There's still a lot to do to balance out the game the way I'd want to, and balancing out items would be around the middle of the list.

3: Stats no higher than 40 (80 beauty), skills no higher than 30, limit the number of traits.

4: You mean capture as in enslave? Or capture as in find in the dungeon? The first I will be addressing later, the latter... well, I think it's already pretty random to get girls from the dungeon. I don't think it really needs to be any harder. As for having a certain item, that would be pretty difficult to code in as things are.
i meant capture from the catacombs, and it was to do with the "godly" girls i want to add.

i think i found a bug... i cant find ANY customers when i whore on the streets i have gone down to -3048 gold while skipping weeks waiting for SOMETHING to happen, i have tried working the streets by day and night still finding 0 customers.

also im a little confused i pay for bar staff yet i am earning nothing from them... how dose this option work exactly? it seems entierly useless

Don't worry about bar staff. I need  to take that out.

And I found the problem with streetwork. The game is multiplying the number of customers a streetwalker can service by the integer conversion of 2/3. Which converts to 0. I'm uploading a patch for this.

great, i thought it was me fucking up again XD


-Customers will choose areas of the brothel to visit based on fame

how exactly dose this work? dose it unlock new new areas for customer to choose?

Because personally i don't like the way this works i expect people to come to a brothel to use a brothel like a brothel. i don't expect people to want to use the bar for 3 weeks than use the sleezy bar for another 4 weeks before they decide they will use the brothel like a brothel...

anyway the next issue is how the hell dose a slave get away with serving 2 customers a day at a bar when there's 11 customers asking for barmaids?? and the same goes for waitresses, why do 8 customers ask for them but my slaves only serv 2-3? or on a good day 4? doesn't really seem normal TBH...

I'd gone over this in my first post, but then I modified it to have all the download links and update information, so it got lost. Sorry.

If you expect people to use a brothel like a brothel, then try a different game, friend. This is an underworld game. You're dealing with gangs, slavery, prostitution, turf wars, and more. Son of a late underworld boss or not, you're still new to the scene. So there's a few hoops you need to jump through to get started.

You're not publically running a brothel. You don't want the authorities to really know what you're doing in the back rooms. When the authorities get suspicious that something shady is going on in that bar of yours, they raid the place. So you want to keep the place as low-key as possible. The bar acts as a front, and as a screen. The Average Joes that come in to get drunk never know there's more than a bar, that there's a casino, sleazy bar, and brothel in the back, but those people that know to ask the right kind of questions will start to figure it out, and as your reputation increases you'll start to attract those kind of people. Advertising isn't so much telling everyone that you have a brothel, but rather greasing the right palms to get the word around to the right people.

I liked this concept in EX, and I implemented it in my game. But I smoothed out the transitions so we wouldn't have the problems EX has, where suddenly you have customers showing up in new areas and need to send girls to cover the new areas, but by the time you get coverage the customers have stopped showing up there because they didn't get service last time, and then you need to pull your girls back to the other areas that are short staffed because you sent them to cover the areas customers stopped going to. Which means that customers stop going to other areas because they were unhappy that you didn't give them good service, and once you get everything settled out again the cycle repeats.

As for the number of customers a girl can take care of... there are stats/skills that govern how many customers a girl will be able to take care of, and stats that govern how well she will do at the job. If you want a girl to take care of more customers, you need to figure out which stats are important for the job you're having her do.

The current build is something of a beta. I've released what I've done so far so I can find out where the bugs are. But I'm still working on the current jobs, and they will be more finished in the next release. In the future, jobs will increase stats, and apply/remove traits. They will also modify customer happiness based on how good of a job a girl did. Currently only the whore jobs modify happiness, which will be fixed in the next release.

I found and fixed the bug that crashes the game when the Matron puts the torturer to rest. Patch uploaded, and details have been posted in the bugs forum.

not what i expected from a game called "Whore Master" the name implies something else. also the building being called "Brothels" made me think otherwise.

 the thing is i couldent play the way i normaly do because of that bug, so i actualy had to try something elce... witch dident work and i went bankrupt... i have no clue how to play this game without whoring on the streets.

could you explain? i cant figure out how you should be able to affory 2-3 girls with equipment to run the bar with advertising with a measly 4000

well that came out all wrong ... nevermind i wont post anymore...
 

Er, dunno what to say about that. If you hadn't noticed, I'm a little long winded. So my apologies for that. I did go over all this once before, but then I edited the post and that information was lost, so you didn't have any way of knowing. I already apologized for this, but apologizing for it doesn't answer your question so I went over it again. I don't mind you asking questions, and my answers to your questions should be taken as just that, answers to a question. I'm not offended, and I didn't think I was complaining. I do take suggestions into consideration, but I have to work within my limited skill and prioritize what goes in immediately and what needs to be put on the back burner.

If any offense was taken, I apologize.

At this point, I think I restored the wrong backup last time I ran into a problem I couldn't figure out what I did. I'll have a patch up in a bit, for the fame customers issue. I've already fixed this problem once. >.<

2 girls defending you should be enough to stabilize the security level. Until I get around to rebalancing the jobs, the important stats for Security job are magic, combat, and service skills. Certain traits help, others are bad. Once you have a single girl that can raise the security level by 50 points by herself reliably, she should be able to manage on her own. Gangs don't do anything for the security level, but do try to protect your girls when they get attacked. The security level deteriorates by 50 points every day. It used to deteriorate every time a girl worked security, but I changed it so you don't lose 100 points for 2 girls working security, it just deteriorates by 50 points daily.

hmm ok i never expected "service" to boost defending, buying a +15 service item boosted my daily defence increase from 30 to 80 AWSOME.

I am aware of the problem with brothel fame rocketing up to max (indicated by the 25 customers attracted by fame and customers visiting every area of the brothel quickly) and am working to fix it. It was an error in logic on my part. I know what the problem is, I'm just poking at and testing different ways of fixing it.

The problems with fame have been worked out and a new patch has been uploaded. I've now squashed all the major bugs I'm currently aware of. Please post if you find anything that isn't working the way it should. Also, boomarrows has noted that the game is difficult starting out. Please post if you find this to be true as well, as well as suggestions. A job doesn't pay enough? Certain critical jobs cost too much (security? customer service? advertising?) to employ? I can't fix it if I don't hear anything about it. Let me know.
