I think this is intended, as I believe it is meant to represent poor aim + recoil control.  I think the guy you play as isn't John Halo/Helldiver/Call of duty, rather Joe Shmo who woke up here. Granted, if you picked the Soldier, you should be able to shoot 4 and hit 4.  Maybe you can find a gun table and be able to add a proper stock, granting the weapon 4x hit and it using 4 bullets. (Not going to lie, using burst fire and having lucky bullet proc, leaving my mag 12/12 after shooting feels wrong to me... But video game logic is video game logic.)

I don't think I can stop you, the title of degenerate comes free with acceptance of who you are.

I've done some more thinking on how pregnancy could work, and came to the conclusion that it should be a fetish exp with traits. Yes it would mean that you build 3 fetish up when you are trying to be a dad, but read me out.

The only way to get the fetish exp will be with visiting the girl you knocked up, bang her again, and for her to give birth off screen/how ever Finchy wants to handle that. That would give 1 exp to represent 1 baby, and give the first trait of "unplanned father."

What the trait/title gives I'm thinking is more inital arousal when dealing with a pregnant woman (I've maxed out all traits, so when I start a fight it is 36~47 arousal, what I'm asking is 49~62 starting arousal with a maxed father trait,) more enthralling, and maybe lowered "Pent-up" and "Backed-up" threshold for more mother making loads. As it develops, I'm thinking the flags should be at 1 (Unplanned father), 5 (A dad),10 (Farmer mentality) , 20 (baby daddy) , 100 (Repopulater of towns.) 

Obviously, I am not the dev, so it is up to Finchy to thumbs up and do their own thing, thumbs up and copy what he likes, or thumbs down and toss a brick at me.

2 things.)

1.) Is there any plans for enemies that kiss the player into submission? Like they grab, then make out till you cum.

2.) Any plans to find an item that would be given to Catalog for either a ton of credits or an unlock-able sex scene?

Love the Parlor, already have more than 700 service Exp, and while impregnating my #1 fan/wife, it hit me.  What if there was an addiction mechanism?

My thoughts on how it would work would be certain things would build a hidden Exp bar for the addiction (if possible, using the players fetish level as an Exp multiplier), and once you get addicted you need to interact with the girl who gave it.  For instance, the breast milk from the demon milf  might cause addiction, and once you get addicted and spend a couple segments of time since last consumption, your endurance and strength might get weaker. The longer you go without ingesting/ getting a top off, the worse it gets until you "quit" cold turkey.

This will both incentives and disinterested some interaction, because some people will avoid getting a debuff, while some might take it as an extra challenge. I myself wouldn't mind being hooked on serving a girl, especially if my favorite fan drugged me through either hypothetical kisses or sweat.

Okay, so you have the Chair next to Oracle in the base, correct?  And you are able use it and enter, being able to move between the Red (Melee) Green (Survival) Yellow (Ranged) and purple (Psi) nodes?

(TBH I didn't win a fight, instead I was laying with the girls, till I was 12 hours in, but that is besides the point. )

Okay, I think I know what the problem is, but I'll ask clarifying questions.  Have you fought an enemy with the intention of winning through violence? Have you gotten any Exp that is displayed on the front page of the menu, not under status? 

I'm not Finchy, but you get Psionic abilities/ a way to spend Exp as a Delve reward for beating the boss of Synthech Admin & Research.  (The Building at the North-East of Westview.)

Okay, now that V.0.1.5  / the parlor is out, the best Girl per type (in my opinion) needs an update. All the girls are based off meeting in the  world, not simulating the encounter.

Human: "Gamergirl." While I like the professional vibes of the Assistant, I personally like the Neet/Girl-Failures more.  Also I like the act of eating the cake over a titfuck more. 

Furry: Trash panda.  I already liked her before the update, and now she has more content?  And said content add the possibility of her being pregnant when/ IF the pregnancy update happens, thus adding even more content?  All I ask is for the ability to give her a kiss/head-pat/hug IF she is able to be invited to the base, and my life is yours.  High  A -> S tier.

Robot: ST Patrol Droid.  I don't know if intentional or not, but after leaving the backrooms through the sewer, you can go back into the fiscality and fight without actually entering (IE, doing a delve and passing time upon leaving.)  Even without doing that, you can still interact with her with the Tram from base, so she isn't that far away.  And while I like all the robot girls, she stands out to me.

Demons: Cult Matron.  While I do like the demons in the parlor and I can't naturally interact with her anymore, I still love Goat mommy.

Monster:  It is a tie between the Crawler and the Alternate.  What can I say? I like big women whom I will knock up without a shred of doubt, and walk back to do it again and again.

Scaile: Chemist.  Pheromones/Musk are my weakness, and I like how she is a sub that is unaware of how she is making me down bad. Also how she was made because of a silly suggestion will always stick with me.

Undead: "Stitches."  Sure, a lot of undead are more direct and choose their allotted 1 word a second very carefully,  I still like how she speaks.  I also like her design, how her limbs are effectively heled together with a mix of wire and staples,  how she is a Amazonian woman that wants snu-snu. 

Of all the girls, the ones I'd put a ring on would be Trash-Panda and Mal0.  

Currently enjoying the Parler, but I noticed that the new fetish/trait is bugged.  I chose to get in through sex, and was immediately given the trait title "Man-whore" with 0 Exp in the trait.  Thought it was the first trait title, but now that I have 265 Exp, I'm thinking that the trait tracking is bugged.

Subscribestar is where Finchy posts weekly updates, and the timeframe set is around end of month for the update.  Itch.io will have the free updates while Substar has the paid updates, and I'm unsure how Finchy plans on doing the updates between free and paid.  It might be "dead" as far as the free version goes once v.0.1.5 comes out, might be staggered  (paid gets every update from v.0.1.5 to v.0.2.5, while it jumps from v.0.1.5 to v.0.2.5 for free), or the free gets a steady update string that is 5 version behind paid.

  I myself have pledged some cash to Finchy, so I'm using Itch.io as a public board for ideas since (as far as I know) Substar doesn't let people post public ideas that everyone can look at, it is just dm between Finchy and you, and I don't know how to dm someone ideas. Plus since the ideas are public, a simple thumbs up or down can allow others to convey that the posts idea is worth doing, or that it's cringe.

Just remember that Finchy is the chef, and that they can either incorporate your suggestion or ignore it.  With the exception of a romance update, I'd like to treat my ideas as small things that realistically shouldn't take too much effort to do.  I think without a doubt the romance update will be nice, but it might come out (v.0.4.7), and we are just about to get (v.0.1.5). 

I was playing Fear and Hunger 2 and died in a fake safe room (rip 2 hours, should've known that moldy bed was a trap) , and thought it would be a neat idea to add. 
Basically the way it could be incorporated is a creepy safe room that has a bed, and all tiles besides a single tile where you interact with the bed are blue, but that tile next to bed is green.  Since it is a single tile, I doubt anyone would be able to get into combat since it is step based to trigger a fight, but the fact that the watch changes from blue to green should warn the player something is up.

Resting and relaxing won't do anything different, but trying to sleep would trigger an "ambush" like Mal0.  I'll leave the entity to your imagination, but I could see something like a ghost, sleep paralysis demon, a nightmare, or a living doll being the ambusher.  Maybe you'd get an item like with Mal0 that would allow them to follow you from the safe room to any other bed.

Also, if you want to take this idea and run it, you could easily add it into either a way later update or a delve.  Or don't, that's also a much easier option.

Are you suggesting something like kneading the dough of her cake if you have high ass fetish or holding the sweater puppies with high breast fetish, dealing "damage" and leaving the girl satisfied, thus ending the combat?

I just realized that one of the Mob NPCs for the Parlor should be either a low succubus or an imp. This is mostly because their are only two enemies that are Demons, and once you beat them, they are gone. This way there is a natural way to develop the fetish without going to the Sim room.

I myself don't mind the grind, and if you want to speed up a few fetisihes you can go into the sim room and grind a girl. But I can see getting a fetish weakness so exp gain is faster, and a fetish blocker so a fetish develops even slower.  A way this could work would be something like holding the holy thighble, so anal vaginal and oral develop slowly, but thighs would skyrocket. Or a book on Monster Breeding, which would make it to where Furry, Scaily, and Robot give less exp, but Monster and impregnating go up.
This might be a pain to program and balance, so definitively up to Finchy.

(PS, Finchy has said that since there is a lot of demand for Romancing/being owned by the girls, it is a real possibility in a future update to do something with the free wife. I myself am looking forward to it, but I understand letting him cook.  Maybe it will be in 6-9 updates, only Finchy knows.)

Did you import old saves manually from version to version? Because if so, than I feel your pain of deleted saves and probably also putting the game down. 

(Warning, I like lists/girls if my list for best girl didn't give that away.)

If I could be super greedy and suggest a new type/species of girl, Floral Fauna.  (Finchy, you really don't have to add a new fetish creature,  just saying if I could be greedy.)

Assuming without Rift Pack (Basically OC design without legal infringement) I would be down to see a Lamia or the inverse, Viper for Scailie.  For Undead, I would like to see a Mummy or Jiangshi.   For Normal human It would be nice to see a Gyaru.  For monsters, maybe a legally distinct Bubblehead Nurse, Wendigo or Deathclaw.  Furry, How come no Cat/Dog-girl? Skunk/Oposum for my furry picks, moving on. For Robot-girls, honestly I think the styles you have right now are great, so more plz.

Just recreated the bug, and sure enough it do happen.

So the way I've been able to upload images is by selecting "Add Image," under "Upload image"  I'd select "Pick Image"  and finally "Show all files."  Beforehand I'd open the screenshot to confirm I have it, edit/trim fat because I have multiple screens, and make sure I know how to pull it up.  Not trying to baby anyone here, but if someone else want to know how then they can read this and hopefully be able to recreate.

Thought I saw this bug reported, but I can't seem to find the original post.  Anyways, ST Fenris Droid seems to be very confused on how to mate with you in the new update, mostly because once she has "Lust Addled" she doesn't want to do damage, and can't pounce/grab you.  I think the original post was about the Sim room, but the update makes it to where in the Syn-Lab if you don't damage her she'll only touch you.  Of course, giving her a bap on the head fixes her and she'll pounce.

Edit* Bug was originally found by WhiteWhale and you did respond to it.

I second this, as I think it would be nice to have a more in-depth relationship with some of the girls.  Not all of them because that's a lot of work, but maybe a community pole on who "joins" your home/ invites you to stay with.  The easiest way to romance with the girls is with overworld sprites over random encounter, but then my forced upon me wife who joins me in bed would be left out.

I myself am a sucker for pheromones/musk, and the fact that her temptation is caused by being too close to her makes her a good candite for best scalie so far in my books.  And I agree that it's pretty cool how Finchy looked at the community and incorporated a silly fan suggestion into the main game.

Found another Sprite flip-out, but knowing how to narrow down what is causing it from the last one should speed this fix.

Location of the sprite mixing: Backrooms entrance.

How to get it (Probably)?  Enter the backrooms -> Lose once to the smiler and have the marked condition -> Leave without losing again, causing the de-buff to get removed -> Return to the backrooms. (I only returned to knock her up and leave, don't judge.)

Edit*  Impregnated her, and once I got out again the game gave the same cut-scene as the first time where Orical gives a call and asks you to look around, but you can just leave without issue.

This update is more quality of life improvement than expansion, but the new area is pretty good. I understand that the lady waiting behind the closed gate is for the minigame not yet implemented, but the two new foes in the area are pretty nice. (Also it is pretty nice to see an enemy suggestion from the community implemented in the update, and shows that you are reading fan feedback and finding a way to add in a later version. Really nice stuff.)

Side personal note, I don't view myself as a beta tester, just a guy who pours time and finds bugs in a game I enjoy.  That said, I both want to bring up the bugs and not, because I understand nipping the error will improve the game's quality, but will take time away from developing new content. I'll keep pointing things out when I find them, but I hope what I find are things that actually mater. Not something like, "Oh, you can walk on the benches in the transit and a patch of blood on the wall in the pizzeria basement by a door. Game is unplayable."

Yo, she made it in Ver 0.1.3.

Noticed an interesting one in the new version. So in 0.1.2, I unlocked the fantasize skill to "defend" myself and make the girls more likely to grab than smack.  Now in the 0.1.3, I get the proper Masturbate skill for combat and figure I'd get a refund for Fan.  I go into the skill room, and notice that the node for Fan is sealed/ not bought despite having it. Buy and sell it, and the skill is properly gone from the pool of skills to use in combat, though I am unsure if I was given the EXP upon launching the new version or not.

Noticed a little sprite spoiler for impregnating STCP-1,471-A. It's were if you impregnated her earlier and sleep again, it shows the final womb sprite from the beginning and seems to only show if you have no chance to impregnate her.  Sleeping again with a chance to impregnate her starts with the normal sprite.

Civil question: I like how night time in the game adds two new enemies for the street map, but do you think you'll add 1-2 entities to the small buildings/sewers that get put into the encounter pool at night?  Not demanding that you add it to the Westview, (though it would be nice for the free demo in a later version), but for the non-delves going forward?  When I wasn't super stacked to defend myself or heal, I would go from the base and try get to the delves from the sewer system, so I could see keeping the sewer free, but there is no reason to go into one of the neighbor's homes (outside of grinding Exp.)

Edit* At night, no reason to enter a house at night.

Hmm, I remember losing to her, but it was through sex rather than Hp loss. I remember healing as often as I could during the fight between waiting and shifting around to find the position that she doesn't smash my skull in.  

Thanks for looking into it this much though, and sorry if it has been robbing your development  time. Also, what is a save editor? (Joke, but I don't have one nor do I know how to use it.)

Noticed two bugs, though unsure about the second.  If your settings under UI for Button Position is set to bottom,  the window for storage is invisible/ still under the buttons and off screen.  The second thing is the Masturbation Exp rising, but not giving any Traits. (Unsure if there are any traits, but since everything else has a trait, I'm sure having 300 exp should probably do something.)

Making a thread for bugs and errors to keep things a little neater for Finchy. Please post things you notice here like missing logic (Entities not giving Fetish Exp), typos that you catch, sprites not displaying properly... Stuff like that.

True. While I don't mind you using AI art, there already was some people who took one look at the promo shots and said ew.  It is such a shame that AI art is viewed in such a bad light to where others won't even give the game a chance. It is such a good survival H-game.

Oracle is pretty good, not going to lie. It would be neat if you could pat her head, but as of right now she is literally lines of code on a PC. (Not in the meta way, literally in game she is bound to a PC.) Maybe when you get the items that unlocks more upgrades, she will be tangable?

I agree that there are many great options, hence why I went with "best girls" rather than "best girl."  I also agree that it would be nice to actually romance some of the girls that are consistent/static.  You get a free wife/bedmate, why not be able to interact with her in the base?

Personally, I can't say who is the BEST of them all, but I can say Best of species. 

For pure human, I'd say Admin Assistant.  I do like office ladies for the confidence and professional angle, and she has both. 

For pure furry, hands down Trash Panda.  The simple fact that during the wooing she can't turn around and bash my face in, all she wants is food to fill out her fat ass, and you could classify her as a girl failure? High A tier, moving on.

For Robot, it is tougher.  I like ST Patrol Droid  and Catalogue.  I could see myself cuddling with both of them in either a wholesome or kinky way,  and I am a sucker for monitor/display heads as they can be more expressive... The only knock against Cat is the fact I had to banish goat mommy in order to get her, but it is made up for guaranteed vendor with the goods. Plus a minigame that I CAN NOT WIN (not that I want to) because I always lose either 0 or 15 seconds in because of how down bad I am, but I will always go for it when she is around.

For Demons, hands down goat mommy herself, Cult Matron.  All she wants to do is a little ritual and will pamper you.  I was sad when I realized that once you beat her, she gone.

Honestly despite there only being one Scaile, Sewer Frog is pretty good.  Might be a little pain to see/ grind because she is a 1/3 encounter, but worth it. That tongue will work wounders on me.

For Pure Monster, it has to be the Crawler.  Sure she can gut you like a fish if you attack or sprint, but she is a 50/50 encounter so you can see her often.  Plus you can impregnate her, and I have a stud complex.

For Undead, I would have to say the Poltergeist.  Like Crawler, she is a 50/50 encounter so you can see her often, and she is relatively easy to woo since she attacks at Far.

And finally for Monster-furry, it has to be STCP-1,471-A.  Unlike Smiler, she will enter your bed without fighting and claims to be your wife.  Why would I hate my wife or not include her in this list?

Edit now that v0.1.3 is out for Scaile:  The Chemist.  Sewer frog is still good, but I prefer Musk/Pheromones over pure Oral.  If it was Oral + Titfuck, then maybe the Frog would stay.

I wanted to make a thread where players simply yap about who in their eyes is Best Girl and why. It is tagged for spoilers because this can include any girl, and if a newcomer who hasn't found said girl were to read this, it might ruin the natural first interaction. Other than that, anything goes.

Hey, there was a Weekly Dev update on Sub-star that anyone can read, please check it out.

https://subscribestar.adult/finchly-game

Noticed that the M-110 Hunting rifle isn't giving any Marksman Exp...

So I have pledged funds to supply 2 medium combos from fast food places on Finchy's Sub-Star. (Congrats on getting 79 subs and 87% funded at the time of this post, it proves that people are interested in your vision Finchy.) I have seen the progress update for the next area, and began to wounder.  If the virus mutated the bums in the sewer in a lower mid class area into a frog and slug, what does the homeless camps look like? The quiet folk living in the forests off the land?

I bring this up to maybe have a single or duo fetish dense areas that would have some fetishes that are harder to find in normal areas, like how only two enemies are tagged for demonic and one for Scalies in the first district.  This way you could add some fetish to the area without having to retroactively add the fetish tag to most previous entities.  Like the slums might be more smell biased seductions happening and might have a new body type fetish like armpits. Or the forest might have some new fetish enemies like floral fauna. 

I bring this up as a way to help implement fan fetish request so you don't have to bend logic to add the suggestions inorganically.  While adding a mini giantess to a city works, adding a Kaiju inside a building doesn't.  I am NOT saying this as a way for fans to add maps/areas, but for the dev to think of how to integrate suggestions.

I started with 0.1,0, and have downloaded each patch and imported saves properly. I THINK it might be because I hold either CTRL or ENTER to fast forward through the defeat dialog, and I know holding Enter causes animations / cut-scenes to fast forward in the over-world while Ctrl only skips text, but again, this is more guess work without actually recalling when/how it happened.

Current version I'm playing from: 0.1.2

Version the bug was first noticed with: 0.1.1

Rift pack included: Yes (Integrated to the game on 0.1.2)

Save folder shared through Google Drive

I hope this isn't digging too deep into your Dev time, and if you still can't figure out what is causing the bug, then I guess I got a more personal save file/ copy of a otherwise great game.
