Pearly Salon: Demo 0.2 Release
🕑 Added 2024-03-10 22:20:47 +0000 UTCIt's been a long time coming but I decided to release the 0.2 Demo
If you wish to download and play it now, link is right here
PearlySalon 0.2 ultrajanky Win
PearlySalon 0.2 ultrajanky macOS
However, big disclaimer, this build is still very unstable and janky coz there's so much bugs and fixes still need to be done and I figured I cannot do it alone.
So anyways, here are the updates that I have placed into the new 0.2 demo:
System
I had to overhaul the event programming and database to make way for the future updates, and this way I can add in more parts as well as integrating new content such as NPC stories
However all the changes have opened a whole can of new problems that needed to be ironed out so your feedbacks are very valuable at this stage.
(And if you're to dig into the RPGmaker project files, well, do let me know what I did so wrong too)
Art
I did a massive redo with the picture layering and variable system to create and even more varied looking clients, not just with their skin tones and hairlength, but also their eyes and hair color, eyebrows, body types and well.. boob sizes, dohoho.
Even the clothings are divided into top and bottom (tho connected by set for now) as well as an additional clothing pieces for the face and their underwear.
And I have also implemented a spreading a spreading pose (as previously teased), this is to showcase their glorious bodily hair under their clothes as well (and yes, they can be shaven off)
but only if they are unclothed (on certain times), mostly because Im lazy to redraw the outfits to accomodate that pose
For a time, the pubic/pits variation is simple but will be expanded upon eventually.
This renewed system gives foundation for more possible variations in the future
Disclaimer: As of this post, I had to disable this particular feature for now, due to how broken it is at the moment, I hope to fix and reintegrate this in a couple days
Gameplay
Of course, the game is still a haircutting game to its core, with the aforementioned new layer system, now its possbile to cut their hair into different styles, back and front, each length will have a different haircuts, so prolly even possible to do more hilarious haircuts.
Although I admit, it may not be 100% complete yet so do let me know what needs to be fixed coz with so many assets I had to do, I tend to lose track.
Anyways, I'm too tired, I'm sick, I got some inflammation in my ear that's torturing, I hope yo hear you guys feedback soon but for now I will rest a couple days
I will update this post again next time when I get well, byes

- There's a second non-working "Current Style (front)" under the one that's working - The curtain in the salon shop allows you to go outside the map. -some requests contradict each other, ex "smooth head shave with cropped back" Despite all the bugs I'm still committed to playing this demo, and I'm excited for the next release.

The visuals look very great and is a real step up. The layout and redo of the shop and building is also better. Was a little disappointed the pubic system was disabled for this demo but I understand if it needs a more work. I think a lot of others have said the same bugs I'm encountering. A couple that I haven't seen said are... - sometimes where I match the requested length they say I don't get them correct (especially on the back length) - after a smooth shave the client finishes automatically and the shaving cream visual is still there on the back view on the mirror for the next one - which then leads to a soft lock where the requested length is longer than the starting length. Hitting finish locks out the play not letting them do anything.

Great work with the new functionalities! I already sent you some feedback on some of the issues found. All the new stuff really shows all the time and dedication you've put into this game!

just and advice: it would better if you don't specify the release date (months are okay through) if you're not really sure that you can finish on that exact time, it can help you adjust the time and lowering audience's hype also just in case you need pre-alpha tester, i gladly will help voluntarily.

please inform us if you release the patched version

- It doesn't appear you are able to check the hairstyle book in the lobby. - In the equipment store, you can walk through the curtain in the back and move on top of the walls in the store. You definitely deserve a break as a lot of work has been put into this. The updated models are amazing and I think with some more time, these issues can be ironed out!

It's really cool seeing all the changes, additions, and improvements from the first release! Yes there are bugs, but it's a work in progress. Here is what I have found from game-breaking to minor issues: - If a pile of hair blocks a customer's path to the door, they will not be able to move forward, soft-locking the game. - If you do not change a customer's hair length, finishing the cut will soft-lock the game. - If a customer requests to shave their hair, and changes there mind, the game will sometimes soft-lock as a desired hair-length never gets selected. - Using the razor immediately ends the current haircut and the shaving cream stays on the back of the head for the next customer. Those were the prominent issues I noticed, here are smaller one that are not as big of a deal: - If you have Pearly cut their own hair, the game has issues pulling the updated image from the image files when you pause the game.

Haven't made much progress,but It looks promising so far Two observations tho: 1)The style system needs refining. Its a bit janky atm,but I'm sure you're already working on that 2)After a cut,if there's a pile of hair in front of the chair,the client will stand in place and not exit the shop,thus softlocking the game But besides that,pretty promising stuff

Ive been trying to get through day 1 for a bit, the game seems to be running alright. I keep hitting soft locks though, like where the game wont bring up the UI or it wont advance. Also all of the hair length things are always mirrored for front and back, like the number for requested doesnt actually reflect what the client asked for.
