Praising/gifting raises loyalty if they have not been recently praised. The recently praised status wears off after a few days. The mind reading spell will tell you whether they have been recently praised, and (I think) how long until the praise wears off.

OK, I started playing this game (didn't read the whole thread) but I'm not finding it very intuitive. The in-game documentation and tutorials are pretty good, but the mechanics are just so complicated that they still aren't adequate to the task. Basically, I can't work out what I'm meant to do- obedience just naturally falls for all girls (and praising them does NOTHING except make it drop faster with no upside), forcing me to constantly berate them just to stop them from running away, even though I prefer playing with a soft touch (I prefer being a "good master" in slave trainer games). I can't work out what I'm supposed to do to make girls like me (aside from Emily automatically liking me more when she comes back from her sister). Some stats just can't be seen- Obedience is represented by a coloured symbol, even though slave market quests list it as a number. And this is probably a bug, but my adventuring party is set the first time I go out with girls in it- after the first time I go exploring, I can never add any girls to it again, including girls from the party that are removed for any reason (e.g training). The tutorials need some expansion because working out what you should be doing to succeed isn't immediately obvious.
Initial obedience can be increased every day by having the girl wear the Maid Uniform. As the item description says, it increases obedience a little at the end of the day. If obedience get too low, the sedation spell will increase it slightly. This will usually keep your initial slave obedient until their loyal gets high. If all else fails, throw them in jail for a few days. This will increase obedience. Of course it also increase stress, which can be fixed with rest of the sedation spell.

Got the new version. All of a sudden some of the girls I'm having work at the shop are earning negative money somehow. How does that happen? Are they knocking over the merchandise racks and breaking the stock or something?

Also, how am I supposed to earn mana to use magic? None of my girls will sleep with me willingly yet. Am I just supposed to capture a few girls, rape the shit out of them for mana while they're in jail, then sell them off immediately because they're ruined? Seems like a rather crude way of doing it and doesn't really appeal to me (also strikes me as rather odd that girls who hate my guts and who I'm quite explicitly forcing myself on against their will have scene descriptions where they're so obedient and eager).

OK, never mind, worked that out eventually (actually, I just completed Emily's and Tisha's quests and they were easy lays). However there does seem to be an irritating bug where the sex screen keeps automatically toggling back to 'Forced' without me choosing (or noticing), sometimes leading me to accidentally rape one of my girls without meaning to (forcing me to reload the last autosave). That's annoying.

Thank you for your report, I'll look into it.

Found what might be a bug. Started the new main story quest and just went to the Frostford City Hall for the first time. Made a save there and loaded said save later but now I can't find the Clearing via exploring the Outskirts. Loading a save prior to starting the new main quest works fine though. Additionally it seems that you don't have to actually go into the Clearing, simply fully exploring the Outskirts and having the option to go there allows you to report back to the City Hall. Not sure if this is an actual bug though.

Also please forgive me if this has already been answered elsewhere but do Specializations work right now? Specializing in Bodyguard doesn't seem to actually add any HP. 95 max before and 95 max after.

Edit: Scratch that, Saving and Loading just simply seems to do really weird things to the new main quest and possibly this build in general. Or my computer has just gone insane.

I've been playing this for a bit now and I've been digging it. Though I have a question, what do you to improve beauty naturally instead having the girls take beauty mixtures? I'm asking because I find beauty mixture more hassle than they're worth, most especially as of 4.47c they're only a temporary boost.

Currently, there's no way to improve base beauty anyhow. I'll be adding alternative in next version.

This is for the online/web version (as it's the only one I can play):

I found two, maybe three bugs;
1. You can duplicate Tisha Hale if you send 'her' away for 3+ days. Eg. The quest will continue to chain. -- Had this happen when I sent her on vacation to level her.
Edit: Seems it has to do with loading a prior save (probably due to you updating the web version recently)

2. Ayneris' event keeps repeating, even if you agree to take her, meaning you can't use Amberguard's local market.

3. For some reason, even though I have 9 Agility, I still end up going after all the enemies, even though the description says "Represents character's quickness"; same with equipping the Elven Armor (It says +5 speed)

4. The game keeps asking about the tutorial -- I'd recommend having this added to the options instead of a check.

Ive been playing this the past few days and I gotta admit Im hooked.
I do have one question though. Does upgrading the laboratory unlock anything else besides the improve beauty?

This is driving me crazy.

I've gotten my slave optimized with his loyalty and obedience, but he won't say yes to consensual sex yet. Is there a debug mode, because I really don't want to waste time repeatedly asking him every day for five days in a row with optimal stats if he's ready? Or am I missing something?

P.S: On a previous game, I got the consensual sex a go. Don't know what I did differently here though. Both times I basically spammed gift giving since it wasn't decreasing obedience at that point.

Try making them horny. Lust plays huge role in their response. (aphrodisiac should make lust go up)

And it worked! Thanks!

Edit: Out of curiosity, can high confidence and being the same sex also make it harder to get consensual sex out of the other partner?

Same sex makes it harder unless they have corresponding trait.

As much as the game itself is pretty nice, I must say I was a bit let down by the lack of real lewd description for the sex scenes with the randomly generated NPCs :c

No worries, soon this will come into focus. I'm not a native english speaker so I haven't been working enough on this part.

I know it's a really small (if not insignificant) thing, but it really bugs a part of me that the only way to permanently improve base beauty is the procedure at the laboratory. I wouldn't mind having a basic process to improving the stat similar to the mental stats that takes time and money while the lab procedure is the here and now boost.

The new capture mechanic has this issue that always takes the last defeated character in the list regardless of who I pick. This is particularly annoying when I'm low of rope and the character I want to take is on top of a long list or when ended up taking a character I saved from bandits.

Other than that I've been digging a lot of the new stuff and will be looking forward for whats to come.
