The worst part about grinding for money is you can't really do it at night time as it triggers the pointless sex minigame that has no reward after the first time.

You could always intentionally fail it...

Why fail it for only 2000 bucks when you can just skip ahead and get 5k
That and when you upgraded everything to max, Hunie becomes worthless, too. The endgame has some issues there. Could really use a Hunie sink at the end.
Does date difficulty max out at some point? I had the final one with

Date difficulty is based on how many hearts you have across all girls.
Edit: Also filling out the girls info sheet is annoying as you randomly get chances to ask a question and sometimes it can take a long as time. The other annoying part is the fact the presents in the shop are random so you basically cycle through days trying to fill out their gift chart.
Ah, fuck me sideways! I somehow got 12/12 without changing my difficulty, Palutena was so annyoing, but I wanted to finish the game. Don't know if I want to collect everything. I watch you guys do that, because the chance is high that it does nothing :,(
I mean, it's a bit hollow, but I was entertained for 11 hours and can now brag to all my friends over my virtual panty collection.

We seriously need more girls like Audrey in games.

We just need an actual Visual Novel with that writing. If the Sakura games would sohnd like that I could actually start to enjoy them.
I am actual interested in the relationships between betwen the girls. I mean I never got a conclusion to Audrey's hair.

Oh, hey, if there's anyone hanging out in this thread who doesn't have this yet who wants it, I'm not going to use the Steam key, since I don't do Steam, and I'm fine with the DRM-free version. So just reply to this saying you want it and the first person who does can have the key =)

A GAF OT for HuniePop? Subbed.
So, my entire day has been chunks of playing HP. Was playing pretty late, since I was asleep and didn't catch the early release announcement until around 1am, then was hooked in for like... 4 hours?
The game is rather interesting. I don't play many games like it (VNs are about a half-step away), but what I've actually enjoyed is the Match 3 puzzle gameplay, and the general atmosphere of the game itself.
I'm inclined to say Based Audrey (at the behest of her VA), but Aiko and Tiffany are pretty cool. However, the single most frustrating thing about this game is how every other time, I've managed to fall short in dating sessions. I almost rage-quit when I ended up with 298/300, after rallying from a broken heart chain mistake.
There's still a lot to do, since I haven't gotten every girl to five hearts as yet, but man, it really can be a challenge.

Kyanna was the one that naturally fits with me.
Aiko is the hardest for me to figure out despite my love for teachers.

If you're into female swearing, Mira in Dreamfall Chapters is pretty great.

in case you don't know hindi
, "kutriya" = dog, "bhenchod" = sisterfucker, "haramzada" = bastard, "madharchod" = motherfucker, "gandu" = ass.
The easiest for me were Nikki and Kyanna. They were very straight forward and the answers were obvious enough. It helped that I really liked them both, together with Lola and Beli.
Audrey was pretty easy too. I just had to choose the answer I would've picked the least in RL
She is fun to read, she hated absolutely everything I did and said. Similiar thing for Kyu.
Didnt like Aiko and Jessie. Just not my typ of eoman I guess.
The most confusing was Tiffany. It was emberassing how I couldn't get the optimal answer of any of her questions right the first time. I really had and still have trouble to understand her.

Keep in mind it's available DRM-free as well.
So the numbers on Steam don't represent full total numbers, just a minimum.

People actually had trouble with the QA stuff? I thought most of it was dead obvious given the characters' strict adherence to tropes and whatnot. Audrey and Kyu were my favorites, I liked Tiffany too, since she sorta reminds me of Emi from KS.

You don't want to play on a pad to play this game. Your cursor won't move fast enough with a pad to complete the 3-match sex mini-game.
I'm getting pretty close to "beating" the game. I hope something happens when you 100% the game (get all the sex
scenes, give all the girls gifts that they like, fill out that chart that has their personal data).

Just played a little bit of it, up through the first puzzle.
It's a pretty fun game.
She keeps insulting me though >.>

How does saving work?
I exited and it was saved more or less where I last was automatically (it made me go through getting that HunieBee thing again, which I had already done).
But, unless I'm missing it, there doesn't seem to be a Save option anywhere.
So it just saves automatically at various points or something?

Saves at the start of talking to someone I believe.
So morning talk to someone finish up there and when you go to someone else it will save.
So that black screen that says the time it always saves there I know for sure.
Yeah, it autosaves whenever time moves forward I believe.
EDIT: That's right, it saves after dialog choices also. No fixing that shit. "I take it back! Family is totally the most important thing!"

Ah, alright.
That kind of sucks, since it means one can't really reload a save and try somethng different after going through talking with them.
Ah well.
Well, that's all for tonight.
More tomorrow! ^.^

Any big differences when playing as a female character?
We need more Jessie in games. Also Aiko.

They do actually change the dialog to go with it. But no actual differences that I have seen besides that.

Spunky girl next door, blonde, twin tails, an athlete, and has a hot mom. I mean... who else was gonna come to mind lol.
Audrey also has this sort of Tiffany Grant as Asuka thing going on with her voice
Ha, that's fantastic.

Finished up my playthrough. I'm pretty happy with it overall - decent entertainment value for the price. Now to see how those sales numbers and reviews play out.
Celeste is totally fine.
Now, on a more serious note, the game is fun up to a point. The way talking to the girls ended up being so shallow is a big disappointment. I would have loved if those question/answers would lead somewhere into a conversation tree instead of simply being a way to fill a fact sheet and at the end simply answering the same questions.

well you never see her feet so maybe it IS her after she graduated high school~
Well HuniePop has done what nothing else could, made it so I will not play another game again aside from FF XV.
Granted it's not all Huniepop's fault but it perfectly captured why I hate so many games, and it's not even the writing, as I laughed a few times along with Aiko.
The Sex Grids are awful and frankly have no business even being in the game as it takes the skill set you hone with the items and building up your character and chucks it out all for a a quickly descending timer.
Granted I think I know why they did it, they wanted to add challenge and change up the game play, well that is my problem.
Over the last few years I've learned I really don't like it when a game feels it needs to get harder as it goes on, granted I know I'm in a minority when it comes to this but I like a game that is fun and consistent all the way through.
DMC 4 is a perfect example of this, it sets the expectations and no point does the difficulty really spike nor does it really get harder, in fact as you master Nero and Dante things get easier because you actually get more powerful.
I spent 3 hours (on easy) trying to finish the grid on
, I got over 700 a dozen times and even past 735 a few times but my eyes gave out because I can't track games like this with out getting a major head ache, it a personal issue but to have this happen on such a minor gameplay thing that goes against the rest of the game just killed my desire for games as a whole.
One of my favorite games of all time is PoP 2008 and its because the game has a perfect difficulty, you could die but be back in it instantly and you always where able to move on after you took a few tries and mastered it. No luck with extra enemies not spawning (like the long chains needed in these stupid segments) and the game was tarred and feathered because it didn't punish players enough.
I want to live in a world that embraced PoP 2008, because it's the same mindset that got it hammered that allowed trash like Huniepop's finale.

Uh, okay. Some of us like the feeling of mastery and triumphing over increasingly difficult challenge. It's cool that you don't?
Not sure what else to say.

There's not a lot of information so this might not be entirely accurate, but I thought this post from the HuniePop twitter account was interesting:
If true, that basically opens Steam up to AO content, if that content is locked behind a "patch" like in HuniePop.
https://twitter.com/HuniePop/status/557692823450177536Everything about HP, including the patch, has been explicitly approved by Valve. Literally a quote from my contact:

Wow, this is pretty surprising. I would have never expected Valve to allow this so openly.

Hah, just saw the spoofed AGDQ 2015 speedrun video of this game; funny stuff.
