That was really great. The art is gorgeous and I like not having to return to the bed at the end of each day. It's obviously not finished yet but other than that there's not really any improvement needed. Maybe if the character's face would emote a little when you kiss them at the end of a date?
Reviews for "Pico Sim Date <3"
Moosh responds:
Ahh yes, good suggestion!
The 2nd Pico Sim Date had kissy animations... but I thought they looked kinda cheesy haha. But I'll see what I can do!
2 hours in, ploting for the harem ending, and I gotta marry the one I want to make waifu, Game is real strong and that's totally fair I just really wanted IT ALL.
First off, it's nice to see you again. I've been following your work here since 2006, and was worried you were done with newgrounds.
The only real complaint I have is that Nene is not available in the beta.
As for the game itself, here are the things I found through playing:
Cons:
-Not enough to do in the mornings. Once the school stuff is done, the only thing I can work on is flash, with only Trish and Hun-ni available to interact with. With you can do 1 part-time and one full-time job in the mornings, it seems as if there is much more available in the afternoon/evening.
-Sleeping is pointless. There is no energy bar, and most of the girls are available at night, as well as most jobs being available at night. However, if sleep was needed, a fourth time, such as late-night might be needed, or having the availability to nap instead, so that we aren't constricted on times we can interact with.
-$$$. The green dollars multiply over the amount you are making, but once you are making more money you have to wait for the dollars to finish if you want to see how much you have made before continuing. I'm making things worth over $600, and having to wait for the green $$$ to clear before I can see has gotten slightly annoying.
Pro's:
+The art is lovely, and having girls that blink is oddly nice. I don't think I've ever realized just how creepy the girls are when they never blink in other games before this.
+The tasks are difficult enough to take some time to complete, but also not so hard to get frustrated about. What the girls are asking for as the relationship levels increase also makes sense for the age groups and backgrounds, which is a nice change instead the regular routine of : get exp, have date, kiss, level up.
What I'd like to see in the full version:
~Obviously, Nene.
~Something more to do at home, and possible a way to upgrade you apartment, look, or items available to interact with in your home, such as buying a t.v from the store or repainting your room.
~Taking girls home, picking a location for the date, and more reactions from the girls during the date. It seemed no matter what I talked about with most girls, the verbal response was the same, and the only thing that changed was how much 'damage' was done to their bar or my own.
Moosh responds:
-Yes, I actually didn't realize the imbalance of available tasks between Morning and Night until I played the game myself. Originally everything except the bar was closed at night, so I think I overcompensated haha.
- You actually can either sleep or take a nap (which only passes the time until the next Time of Day). I really wanted to get away from the whole Sleep > Do Stuff > Sleep > Repeat cycle because... it just seemed way too tedious.
- LOL sorry about the money. I wanted to make sure the player really "felt" how much moola they're making, but I guess I can cut it back a little haha.
- It's nice to know that the little things still count! Thanks for noticing the blinking haha.
Funny that you mentioned apartment upgrades. That was actually going to be a feature for the previous "Pico Sim Date 3" back when locations were going to be isometric (kinda like Habbo Hotel).
As for the dates, it was actually added just a week before Pico Day so I didn't really get a chance to expand on it, but thank you for letting me know I should probably add to it!
And in general, thank you very much for your thoughts! They're very helpful! <3
Great game, i really love it <3
