Mystwood Manor [v1.1.2]

Story

• Added a new tier 5 event for Laura.
• Added a new tier 5 event for Catalina.
• Added 2 new guest event for Diego.
• Added 1 new guest event for Nora.
• Added 1 new guest event for Sofia.

Gameplay/UI

• Implemented guest traits (and added the first one to Diego’s 2nd event as a possible outcome).
• The staff screen will now switch to Julia’s profile during the staff tutorial.
  Note: This will show up once more for existing saves, as I needed to add new flag for this.
• Animations can no longer be enabled/disabled during dialogs (to prevent control issues).

Full Version

• Implemented story mode (you will have to start a new game to play this).
  Note: This removes ALL of the gameplay/management elements.
  I don’t recommend playing the game like this, unless you ONLY want to see the story and character events.

Bugfixes

• Fixed a bug causing the reroll counter to reset on every check-in.
• Fixed a bug causing the new speed mechanic to loop when animations are turned off.

• Added a new tier 5 event for Julia.
• Added a new tier 5 event for Amber.
• Added 1 new guest event for Miguel.
• Added 5 new guest events for Jim.

Gameplay/UI
• Improved the auto plan function. It should be a lot more efficient now. Note: There are still some variables (like level and energy) that are not taken into account, so manual planning will always be the optimal choice.
• Added a statistics screen: This can be accessed through the menu and will show detailed gameplay information (note: this will start counting from now on, so it won’t be accurate for previous savegames).
• Added a new item that unlocks after renovating the office (for now it can be found in the attic, like all the other items).
• Removed the skip button during check-in.
• The “diplomatic” trait now grants 2 guest re-rolls.
• Added an office upgrade that adds 2 guest re-rolls.
• Added a tooltip to wages screen to view staff member details.
• Added a setting to disable automatic planning of a staff member to the same slot as the previous shift.
Note: You will have to enable this for previous saves.
• Items are now sorted by staff and player items (same as with cards).
• Changed “DO not skip VIP interactions” text to make it more inline with other settings. Note: You will have to change this setting once for previous saves.

Story

• Added a new tier 5 event for Julia.
• Added a new tier 5 event for Laura.
• Added a new tier 5 event for Catalina.

• Fizwill has (finally) brought some wares to sell:
  • Added 1 new item that allows you to reset all selected trait points.
  • Added 1 new item that allows you to lose one random negative trait.

Gameplay/UI

• Implemented a new office upgrade that will automatically plan all staff members as efficiently as possible.
  Note: There are still some sub-optimal decisions in complex situations, but overall it should be pretty useful and hopefully help decrease the grind/clicking for those of you that don’t want to do it manually every time.

• Expanded the staff level tutorial to explain about trait points.
• Reworked the lobby and the way you check-in guests The chance for a guest to show up is now based on both the lobby skill of Julia as well as the number of available slots in the lobby. You can click on a portrait to see the guest’s requirements and click the check-in button to accomodate them. You can no longer make them wait or reject them, as this didn’t really serve a point with the current gameplay.

Mystwood Manor v0.5.1

Hey guys,
I have finished Hana’s tier 4 events and added the first tier 5 for Julia. Honestly, I was hoping to do a bit more, but the scenes took more time than I anticipated and there were some very persistent bugs/issues that needed to be fixed. But all in all, I feel like the game is moving in the right direction.
I’ll put a poll this weekend for the next month, as there is plenty of new content to add now. I hope you will enjoy the update and if you have any feedback, please let me know!

• Fixed a bug with the adventurer card, causing equiped items to get lost when switching the card to a different girl.
• Fixed a bug causing random lockups when skipping through dialogs (please let me know if you still encounter this).

Hey guys,
This month I have focused on implementing hotel level 5, so we can finally move to “juicy” scenes in the next updates. I also finished Riley’s tier 4 events and implemented tier 4 for Laura.

Hey guys, I hope you all had a nice Christmas.
Unfortunately, mine was rather stressful:
My render machine “died” on me. I couldn’t even get it to boot after 2 days of trying everything I could think of, including a full reinstall.
Then I tried swapping graphic cards with my development machine to see if that was the cause. That was a mistake.
Long story short, both my system are unusable and I will probably have to replace some hardware. However, during Christmas (no to mention shops being closed due to Covid) that was not an option. So This means I am not able to add the content I have been working on the last week to this update. It’s still a pretty big update (check out the change log underneath), but it doesn’t have any sexual content.
I’m really sorry, as I was planning on releasing a bigger update. I will add this content (and a lot of new scenes) for January’s update and I promise that it will be a big content update.
I hope you will still enjoy the new content, but if you are looking for new sex scenes, you should probably wait until next month.
Note: Existing saves can be copied over by moving the profiles folder from the previous version to this one.
All the best, Faerin

Hey guys,
First of all, I have made several changes to the gameplay mechanics to reduce the grind, based on your feedback on the poll at the beginning of this month. Hopefully, the game will play a lot smoother now. With the help of several new testers, I was able to fix a LOT of bugs, both old and new ones (over 50)! I have also included the first events for Kay as well as new events for Amber at tier 3. With most of the bugs smoothed out now, I can start focusing on adding content. That means that the next update(s) will be a full story/content update. Thanks for supporting me and I hope you will enjoy it! All the best, Faerin

Gameplay/UI:

Guest complaints (if you get one of these, you won’t get a staff image). 2. New staff images (these will be added to your gallery). 3. Staff images that you have seen before.
• When you complete a guest’s stay without any complaints, they will get the VIP status for that level. VIP guest interactions will be skipped and handled automatically (and succeed if a staff member with enough skill is present). Note: If you prefer to play all interactions manually, this can be switched off in the settings.
• Added an overview screen to the results for a quick summary (to replace the individual results that were removed).

• Added the current and required experience for a skill to its tooltip.
• Fixed a bug causing the interface to lock up after doing a renovation.

• Updated the tier reward requirement tooltips to better explain their meaning.
• Added a tooltip to the claim tier reward button.
• Fixed a bug that caused scenes of the girl sleeping to be prioritized over the working scenes.
• Fixed a bug causing low-level special events not to trigger at higher staff levels.
• Fixed a bug that caused special event dialogs not to be added to the history log (for both staff members and guests).
• Fixed a bug that caused the incorrect event tiers for guests to be shown on their profile.
• Fixed a bug in replaying guest events (Orville’s).
• Fixed an additional 25 minor bugs.

• Added Riley as an unlockable staff member.
• Added Kay as an unlockable staff member.
• Added the first 3 events for Riley.
• Added the fitness center and the corresponding outfits.
• Added the sauna and the corresponding outfits.
• Added the maintenance room and the corresponding outfits.
• The maintenance stat will now unlock as part of the story.
Gameplay/UI:
• Added image galleries to each of the character profiles. Whenever an image is added, a camera icon will appear and a shutter sound will be played. (Right now only the working images are added, in the future, this will be expanded).
• Updated the level 2 guest requirements.
• Added guest dialogs for the sauna and the fitness center and their corresponding outfits, as well as several new activities for level 2 guests.
• Removed the confirm button on the activity, check staff, and check guest screen. (So you can now just click once.)
• Added a back button to the activity, check staff, check guests, and map screen. (To make up for the loss of the confirm button.)
• Increased the update speed of the satisfaction bar to a set time interval (please let me know if it’s still too slow for you).
• I have rebalanced the guest rewards and room costs to reduce the grind. Leveling up the hotel takes a bit longer now, so you should have enough money to continue construction as soon as you get to level 2, allowing for a smoother progression. (Please let me know if you think the costs/rewards should be balanced differently.)

Here’s new release!
I’ve managed to do a lot, but it took a lot more time than I anticipated to add all the guests, outfits and rooms.
So I wasn’t able to add all the events yet.

For that reason I have decided to spend the next month on doing nothing but renders and new scenes, to fill in all the blanks (guests events, girl progression events, new outfit levels, etc.)

Note: You will have to start over, as I have made several structural changes.
I expect that this (or the next version) will be the last time restarting twill be required.

I hope you will enjoy the update and look forward to your feedback.

Story:

Added 9 new guests (and removed Diane).
Added the 2nd floor and guest bedrooms (this is explained in the updated tutorial).
The bar and the restaurant can now be renovated (and the corresponding outifts will be unlocked).
You can now level up the hotel to level 2. This unlocks an additional guest bedroom and 3 new rooms (these 3 will be added in the next update, as well as guests that will visit them).
Added 3 progression events for Julia (In the next update her tier reward will be added and you will be able to upgrade to her next outfit level).
Added 1 progression event for Amber. (In the next update other events and tier reward will be added and you will be able to upgrade to her next outfit level).

Gameplay/UI:

Rebalanced all costs/rewards to reflect actual gameplay.
Adjusted the tutorial and the starting amount according to the the new balancing.
You can now choose the “check on guest” activity to unlock their stories/hints/rewards. Right now this is just a placeholder dialog, but these events will be added in the next updates.
Added the wages screen: at the end of each week you will be able to choose which girls to hire/fire.
Updated the hotel attribute upkeep system: the icons now show the current attribute value, if you mouseover you will see the projected value.
The hotel level tooltip now shows the required reputation for the next level.
Staff members can now gain experience and their skills can level up (this is explained in the updated tutorial).
Added a guest level selection to the lobby (this is unlocked at level 2).
Added the first room upgrades for the lobby, kitchen en restaurant and bar.
When a new guest enters the lobby, you can now see the current guests as well to make it easier to determine if you want to check in that guest.

Bugfixes:

Fixed a bug with saving on the activity screen during the tutorial.
Fixed a bug when replaying Julia’s late night visit scene from the staff progress tab.

Upcoming changes in the next update(s):

Skip tutorial.
Destiny points (and exchanging them).
Achievements.
Splash screen.
Assigning tarot cards.
More locations to explore.
More girls to hire.
More guests.
More special events.
Dialog history log.
Attribute events.

As always, feedback is appreciated and I hope you are all staying safe and healthy!

All the best,
Faerin

Here’s the new release. In this version most of the tutorial and management mechanics are completed. After unlocking Amber, there isn’t a lot to do yet, but starting next update you will be able to receive more guests, go up to the next hotel level. and build some new rooms (and of course, see the corresponding scenes and outfits).
Please note that previous savegames will not work, but you can now skip the intro if you don’t want to play through it again.
This was the last update that needed a lot of coding for a while. The base mechanics are implemented, so starting next update we will finally leave the “demo” phase and get to the “real thing”. It will be the first big content update (v.0.1.0) and I expect it to be finished in 4 weeks from now!
Story:
Finished to hotel management introduction.
Added images and outfits for all current scenes and rooms.
Amber can now be unlocked as a staff member!
Added the first “real” guest.
Added the renders for two new rooms, the restaurant, and the bar.
These can not be unlocked yet (as you need hotel level 2 for that), but this will be possible in the next update.
Gameplay/UI:
Added an option to skip the intro, you will get a random starting tarot card.
Added a button that hides the UI.
(Auto and skip will be icons in a later update, there will also be a dialog log.)

Right now, it’s just the nipple slip scene with Julia, but more will be added next update.
Added collectible rewards for each set of progression events.
The first tier and its rewards for Julia should be available in the next update.
Added a replay option: Click any completed progression event to view it again.
Finished the guest encounter, now resulting in a satisfaction score.
If you fail to reach the required score, the encounter for that guest will fail.
When you fail 3 times, the guest will leave the hotel without paying.
Implemented guest check out. If a guest completes their stay, you will get the rewards listed on the guest profile.
Implemented hotel attributes (so far only housekeeping will be visible, the others will be introduced later in the story).
