🕑 Added 2024-03-27 17:03:03 +0000 UTCDownload Links
(update as of 4/4/2024 4pm: more additional fixes... this feels cursed)
(This mini demo is now public, coz I needed more feedbacks)
So basically this version is a "compact" version of the last demo, its for the sake of convenience testing what to fix and add until the next stable public release
Altho, not too much are gone, just that some features are confined in the main slon floor for convenience, for you guys to play around with the now overhauled but yet to be perfetct haircut system, among other things (check the changelogs below)
Also, Mac users, do tell me if it works on your machine, coz I have no idea how to test that one.
Anyways, I wish to give it at least 1 week to hear your feedbacks so I can fix it some more before its public release.
Changes:
- Demo is now cut to the main Saloon floor, other areas like the upper floor are removed
- Haircut job now (mostly) fixed with some other QOL and features added such as:
- Scissors cuts can be done in 1x, 2x and 3x for speedy and precise snippings
- Clippers have two options: Guard or without, to achieve certain length
- Razor now includes option to shave eyebrows
- Product got a new item: Regrowth Serum, to correct your mistake
- Styling is now a separate option, and is mostly fixed in a way it make sense
- Back styling haircuts also added, but not perfect
- Customer deciding their haircuts have been overhauled to prevent certain requests that doesnt make sense, but do report if I miss any.
- NurAin has some extra options, including buying supplies
- The Rent System, basic version, will happen every start of the week.
- Using chair number 2 will have adverse effect on the haircut progress
- Changing the chair requires the golden ticket (temporary method),
- but to get the ticket, you gotta be a good girl
- Moved Pearly's haircut and changing station to main floor
- Added NurAin's full portrait set
- Fixed the Day/Time system so it wont stuck in perpetual monday morning
- Fixed the hair blocking customers
- Fixed the hair respawning after cleanup
- Added more value in the hair selling business as well as karma penalties
- Did I mentioned Karma? a temporary system but a plan for things to come
Additonal changes as of 0.2.a2
- Increase the Karma requirements for some actions
- Fixed the "DOOR STUCK" issue if you cancelled skipping the next day
- Rent system got fixed
- (forgot to include this) Straight Razor temporarily removed
More changes as of 02.a3
- Clippers and Razor shaving the wrong side fixed
- Razor burns appear proper
- Vibrator function fixed
- Rent system tweaked - More charge but More time
- Finishing a session works proper
- Adjusted the hair styling system
- Minor back hair styles added
- Rebalanced the Karma requirement to get Golden Ticket
- Cat now appears at night only
- oh yeah, and a (imperfect) hair dye system
Note: I might still miss something so let me know and this might be the last mini demo update before I transpose these fixes to the main demo.
And that is all that I can recall, I sure hope you guys have a better time with this demo and your feedbacks on the last demo are GREATLY appreciated, it helps a lot with the development
Shoutout to Wyoomy for the fixes and scripting ideas and everyone that help pointing out the mistakes.

Im sorry for the very late reply. Thought I got the dye system implemented on this demo but rather on the test build. Coming on the next update
Pearly_Moon
Sorry for the late reply. Have you got RPGmaker MXZ RTP installed?

I am trying to get it to launch, but I am not sure how to launch it from my files
MintierCake
hey, I have a little question, how does the hair dye system work?
Pearly_Moon
talk to the cat, should appear at night
sengin
How do I get that gold ticket? I've already have 300 karma points.
Pearly_Moon
Of course, I do refrain from major features, some are the product of internally testing the fixes. Of course, there's still the "fix one, two appears" problem

would it much better if you focus on polishing this version before expanding to other features? I mean you can balance the economy, adding more assets, balancing customer's RNG haircut requests so customers don't frequently request awkward haircuts, fixing bugs, etc., because this is your game's core gameplay loop, like people still enjoy "That's not my Neighbor" despite it's simple feature

Yeah those are some kinks I've been trying to iron out, I just happen to go through a chain reaction of problems nowadays. Thanks btw

I had a customer that asked for short haircut front and razored back. Sounds good to me. Cut down the front hair to 3 as requested, used razor -> head -> back. And my lady had her front shaved down to 0. Then i used the regrow cuz i thought i missclicked..... and it happened again. I mean the animation is right. But both, front and back just shave the front. Going for the both option, it also just shaves the front. But that aside, everything seems to work just right.

Glad you enjoy it. For now there are no special special events yet in this build, but it will be the next thing I'm working on.

I'm enjoying the game. Do you have any special events during the game? If so, what is the trigger?
Pearly_Moon
Ooof, I might have increased the karma requirement too high for the cat....
MintierCake
how do i get the golden ticket? i know it's from the cat, but i still have no idea how to get it. i have a high karma level (100) but nothing seems to happen
wyoomy
Awesome work as always!! Big list of changes and fixes, all super beneficial ground work for what might come next!!

Skiping the rent causes a forced game over scene with all three strikes to occur after one another. Paying the rent however causes a black screen which can be fixed by skiping the day (which means losing a day, not really a problem in a grand scheme of things) I really had fun with this demo, great work with the haircut/growth of the OCs

This is def an upgrade despite the lack of some features but I think it needed to be scaled down for now to hone in on the important parts. Been playing it, happily, for at for more than an hour and really all the bugs I've seen have been visual and not game breaking. I'm really liking the karma system and the potential it has for the future, same goes for the style system and I can't wait to see what you come up with for them. Super happy seeing the body hair system added, excited to see where that goes. Kinda a spoiler for the end/mid of the demo so keep that in mind. When using the special chair, after the first time the "nude and spread" model is stuck behind everything permanently even if I swap chairs or choose a cape. After reaching Monday your kinda soft locked either option you choose for rent, you say No you go through the "3 lives" dialogue and hit the game over. You say Yes you pay rent and the screen is black, you can still click on things but you can seen nothin.

Someone pointed out that issue earlier and its been bugging me whats the cause, until you pointed out it stucks when u declined skipping the day. thanks, I found the specific problem
yuyu kangkang
way Much better than previous version
JPGR
Pretty great stuff despite the downgrade. At least It's more playable now. Only bug I ran across was when I went to the door to end the day. Once the text message popped asking if I wanted to end the day, if I declined the game would stop registering any clicks or button presses. But despite that, It's a lot of fun <3
