Poll - Gallery Unlock Button/Cheat

Hey there!

So this is a topic that pops up in discussions from time to time. I would like to know your opinions, as players who like the game and already played it. The topic is, button that unlock all content in gallery. Basically a cheat.
On one hand I can understand why people would like to have that. Some people don't like the gameplay, some people just want to quickly 'finish' their business, others don't like the grind and some want to check out the content existing before they will commit to a longer game.

On the other hand, I don’t like it/don’t use it in other games as I see it as cheating and I like working for my achievements, especially if they are not a ‘hold control to finish game’ type of games. So working for it and for the reward is what drives me in the games and I’m not only talking about adult games. I like when my unlocks are earned, just like achievements on Steam.

I was thinking about it for a long time, but I didn't came to any conclusion. That's why I think it would be the best if you would decide what is best for the game in this matter.

One thing I have to mention regarding that. Is a button like that easy to do right now? No, because of all the triggers we have, but it is possible. I just need to think of some code that will help out - maybe then it will be easy.

Votes are weighted based on your current tier.
Poll will be up for 2 weeks, starting today, ending on 22th Feb.

In short, do you think the game should have gallery unlock-all button?

Comments

I have played a *lot* of this game, and still don't have a bunch of events due to RNG and not starting the game over from zero (beach event with anyone but Cynthia, for example). As far as people using it... people who get huge satisfaction from grinding will still grind the game (it's a fun gameplay loop) and people who just want all the lewd art will press it right away. I guess lock it behind an absurd amount of money, maybe?

As someone who's gotten most of the scenes by hand but is still blocked on a fair few purely because RNG hasn't gifted it to me yet, I definitely feel like having a gallery unlock would be nice, but maybe only as a reward for hitting a good ending. I think I would prefer some sort of pity system that gives more weight to scenes that the user hasn't encountered though, that would feel better to me.

As an alternative, I'd say have the unlock cheat in the shop for a set amount of money. I guess around 100k because I believe it will incentivize playing at least one part of the game. At the same time, 100k isn't that hard to reach.

I voted Yes because there are STILL scenes I’ve not been able to unlock despite meeting the requirements for. If the game isn’t going to work as intended, the fallback of the option to unlock them regardless is necessary.

So basically a cheat code/konami code that would unlock the gallery, this way it's not avaliable for everyone from the start as not to spoil the experience. Hmmm...

RareAlex

It's not that hard that it has to wait, but it isn't as easy as quick addition, it will take few hours of trying to figure it out, or worst case scenario, couple hours of copy and pasting code from gallery files to unlock button.

RareAlex

If it's hard or take some time I rather you finish the game first before adding it.

I voted Yes in general. I was stuck between 'Yes' and 'Yes, but good ending'. The logic is that those who want to get it all on their own will just not touch the gallery unlock. Gallery unlock after an ending makes me ask 'why'? Are you making this gallery unlock as a convenience or a reward? Even as a reward, some will still unlock the CGs and galleries naturally and still won't use the unlock all. And then there's people like me who will use unlock all because RNG likes fucking with no lube - yet I will still play the game because it's so good I forget to jerk it anyway. If you are iffy on 'unlock all', then you can have some of the gallery be unlocked with money/special currency/both. My thoughts on it.

Maybe lock it behind inputting a code on a certain page. The code is given after beating the game. That way, experienced players can always enter it, just in case they need to re-download it for some reason, and don't need to beat the entire game again just to get the Unlock Button again.

Personally, I do like getting all the content by myself (A side effect of being an achievement hunter). I do understand that people don't want to spend that much time playing the game to unlock the scenes, but unlocking it all with a button ruins the magic this game has: knowing each char, spending time with them and learning from each one. This game has a great character building when it comes to H games. I'm going to drop my vote in the Yes but after getting one ending option, but it is unlikely that I will use it myself. Thanks for your worry about your players!

Draivis Van Hellsing

Very much yes. I'm not sure if it is because i'm using an older save or whatever, but some events either never trigger or take a stupid amount of in game days to trigger. So i would appreciate an unlock cheat. If it is conditional (like finishing the game once) or not doesn't matter to me personally.

Yeah, easy mode is something I also keep thinking about. I do want to make early game easier in the future (like tease skill that helps a looooot), but I don't like modes in story based games where there isn't anything to gain from it... but I would also hate it to discover that if I played on easy mode a real 'ending' is on normal/hard mode... hmmm

RareAlex

Hah, yeah! That's why I didn't cum up with solution myself.

RareAlex

Ik you have to think about new players and why most people play h games, but it still feels like it'd ruin the experience to unlock everything without playing it at all. Maybe just add an "easy" mode that scales down the money/popularity upgrade costs or increases the amounts you get to be able to progress faster. For those of us who are all caught up and have been slowly progressing each update, seeing the new scenes isn't too hard, but starting from the beginning now I could see being kinda daunting.

Dang this a tough question Mr Alex
