Sunfish City - a trait swap game v0.0.23.2

What does werecreature and vampire do?

This is FASCINATING.

Didn't play much (yet), but I think the only immediate complaint I've got is that traits that boost your stats almost feel kinda iffy since they're additive, rather than multiplicative, so they end up feeling a lot less impactful in the long run.

Like, "plain" removing 3 charisma barely means anything if you have 50, it almost feels like each trait needs a slight percentage to go with it, even if it's something small like 3 (+3%) or 3 (+5%) CHA getting removed, so that trait will always stay at least a little relevant all the way up at 1000 CHA, rather than you running around ugly, diseased, asymmetrical, purple with green polka dots, have breath that could kill a person, you're covered in warts, oozing fluids from every orifice and you're still able to easily chat with no issue because all those traits add up to like -30 CHA when you have 1000.

Also I guess I'm iffy about the character creation screen not telling you what the traits all do when you pick them, but I think that might be intended as a "mystery", so it's whatever.

Gambling addiction might be a little broken. I can't leave after winning as it sends me right back to the you need to the choose slots or roulette screen

Withdrawing funds from your bank account puts you $10000 into debt. This happened after withdrawing $500.

working on the adult streamer thing, moment I joined that job the bank just says $NaN now, and I get errors from it.

I have reached my limit

if you work as a janitor you cant hit the continue button. also the werewolf trait doesnt give you ears or tail

Is there anything else the bimbo trait does other than prevent you from trading?

Got a bank account, but Direct Deposit doesn't work. Additionally, perhaps something could be added to the status panel for "bank funds" since those are also "always accessible".

Looks like twine won't scope variables in for-loops. Therefor in your theft minigame, the _trait passed in the link is always the last of the target skills (while 'print' shows the value at render time, 'set' inside a <<link>> use the value when the user clicks, so _trait is on its latest iteration)

You want to wrap your link with <<capture _trait>>...<</capture>> to keep the correct _trait 

Had a lot of fun playing so far! I don't really know how to solve the underwater cave event or where to get the trait to solve the random beach walk event, but I'll probably get it eventually. Hope there'll be more stuff to do at the beach in the future! It's a fantastic option to pass time for free in general, so it might be my favorite location too.
Also, the current version (0.0.19) seems to have introduced a bug in trait theft where the traits you get are different from the one you've picked (for example, I tried to get "strong" and got "singing" instead). Hope you'll be able to fix this!

Cheers

sense we have a weregirl you should make a mermaid maybe at the corral reef

wich event at the aquarium do you need to get the sunfish trait?  the tank or explore

Personally confused on what the information given in the "Vibes" section even means in the Brothel, alongside how "Type" factors into things. I also find that at least half of the options are basically useless, since customers seem to hate it.

Some minor tutorial on this to help understand what is going on would probably be warranted, though the lack of usefulness of several of the skills is probably a factor of this being in early alpha.

Otherwise, I've been having a lot of fun!

The path to Bimbo image was not fixed, at least for me.

I cannot for the life of my find a job to find thats free(Quick Learner  trait).Which one is availiable

An error occurs when loading an old save.

will a download version be added? I'm not good at English, but I have an auto-translator available in downloaded games.

Sry for my bad english.

I haven't played it much. And I don't know if something like this is already implemented... But just in case, here's my suggestion:

What happens if a criminal swaps with your or steals your facial/physical features?

The player might be forced to clean up their identity, go into hiding, or accept a temporary new life of crime.

P.S:GoodGame. But perhaps you should use AI, draw, or talk to a fellow artist for background generation. Games made with photos... Look stranges.

So, in just under 3 weeks I'm now the town mayor with biggest boobs and ass, over 12ish positive traits purely exploiting the fact that trades can't go under 0, so trade negative traits, then take them back by also taking other things whilst it still being 0

I don't want this, and I don't think you do either, but just to check, when you said certain traits that won't be added, I saw that one trait that wasn't there was legal Loli. Are you going to add that or did you forget about that and add that to the banned list?

I'm not that big on NSfW games, but I can see this game being pretty good if executed well!

Maybe you can include some animals and a 'Species' trait in a future update.
How it'll work? I'm not sure, I'm just an enjoyer of animal transformations lol

Question how do you get employed or get a job thank you

Looking forward to seeing new content to the game and explore it when it's in it's final form. For now I claim my "Before finished release" badge

Played the game a bit and just wanted to say a couple things.

First, it was a bit confusing for me to get a job, because logic dictates the first thing I should do is look around at places looking to hire, it was only on the third day when I realized I didn't actually need to sleep ever that I decided it's fine to just be a hobo and look for traits I want that I discovered you just trade jobs with people (not that having a job really helps you as far as I'm aware).

Second, I'm not even sure if there's any point to stats other than charisma atm, I would guess you'd have something planned considering they're there but it's a little awkward.

Finally, the trading system is actually busted lol. I once traded equivalent bust and butt to someone in return for them giving me all of their traits other than their desired traits. I think just making desired trade discounts scale multiplicatively instead of linearly would fix this somewhat, it's pretty weird when taking a beneficial desired trade trait from someone actually reduces your overall costs. I think bust and butt trades were also always desired trades for some reason. Oh and it would be nice if you could see trait stat increases on each trait, I can't keep track of what's what when I trade for 8 traits at once.

Question, ever thought of adding bigger sizes? I think it would be pretty neat.

Right. It is a fun game with good potential. But i wanna give proper feedback

The trading system: It is is fun. But needing to match the point score before trading is a slog. Especially trying to get a job in the early game. Especially since the net result is that you can never gain points from a trade.

Moving the requirement to half points could be better for balance. Low trade chance but still possible. So you can gain points

That or make it so charisma influences your trade chances and thresholds.

Beginning: The beginning is a slog. Especially with lack of explanations or tutorials it can take ou 2 weeks to get a first skill (speaking from experience) A guide or similiar explanation section would help a lot

The world: The world has a great beginning. There are a lot of locations but they feel empty. I’d reccomend focusing on character conversations

The shady alley: The shady alley is basically always a net loss. With over 100 different shady trades i only got about 10 positive changes. which were like +3 on avg.

Overall i am interested where this goes too. Keep up the good work

Alice the code goblin

what is there even to do? when i tried to explore i kept running into Work in Progress, only thing i could spend money was housing, all trades required me to trade in all my stats and couldn't use money

is there a way to get better trades? im basically stuck with a ton of negative traits and no positive ones, cuz every time i try to trade, i need to heap on everything i have just to get the value even.

Really solid foundation! I'm excited to see more. I did want to ask, is the end goal going to have a story with characters, or more of a sandbox with expanded interactions? Purely from a curiosity standpoint, obviously you can have both, but again, wanted to see your vision more clearly. I can't lie it's hard to give more direct feedback, maybe adding in a scene or dialogue when a trade goes through? Something in the realm of watching the changes happen to them, and then your own? Regardless, I hope all is going well

Can you implement genital swapping? That could be interesting.

In my experience (maybe I'm being blind or dumb here, I'm not sure), even if you have maximum stats, you can't trade for a job, as there's nothing you can give to obtain the required points to have any chance of trading success. Maybe adding stats to the tradeables list or some other way for people to go on without using the debug menu to add traits to then trade away. As a note: I haven't played the most recent version just released; this is my experience with everything prior. I have tried to go for most jobs.

Pretty fun lil game so far, just wanted to report a bug I found, When entering the debug menu while the "body" menu is open, the game gets stuck in a loop between the "return to game" and "back" buttons on each respective menu.

Looks really fun. I am just having issues with scrolling on mobile. Any solutions would be appreciated. Any suggestions?

Looking good so far! I found a few bugs, In the character creation screen when you pick a trait or remove a trait it resets the Pronouns, Gender and Appearance. Also on the successful trade screen where it says what body parts you received it says what body parts you gave away instead.
