An actual excel spreadsheet game is an interesting timesink for me, but the ui does need a lot of work and there does seem to be a LOT of variables in the game that does not explain what they actually do. I would appreciate the dice rolls on interactions being shown in the logs to maybe help explain them a bit further, but overall doesn't seem to be a bad start?
I don't know if there can be scene generation with the extensive use of ai models here? (Not familiar with the ai art at all) it is a bit awkward to have paper doll ai girls just stand there.
Also, probably a small fix to change, I think it would be better to give a prompt to go to a private setting for sex after casual encounters or at least dress them afterwards lol.

I like the concept. Kinda along the lines of Venus Club also done in Unity. Allowing a community to create content for the game brings a great amount of user "buy-in". Do you allow players to create stripper packs?
There's plenty of potential for this game, but it is very complicated at the moment and the learning curve is too steep for casual players. I like the concept, the gameplay has potential, and the content structure and deliverables look promising.
My suggestion to the developer would be to start the player's experience in a small, confined scenario and then gradually unlock new aspects of the game. Just focus on the basics - hiring a bartender, opening the club, making money. Hide all other aspects of the game until the basic gameplay loops are shown to the player. Then, just focus on one woman, give her a script and some personality, and hold the player's hand to step them through how to fully unlock that one character.
If you give players too much of the sandbox at the start, you'll overwhelm beginner players and it's unclear how to achieve the rewards in the game.
I would also recommend a cheat menu because some players just want to shortcut the process and get to the rewards.

It's because it feels invasive. Like installing DRM onto your computer to run a simple porn game. I mean look at all the other games here, 99.99 percent of them don't require a Unity installer to open up the game. You just had to be that .01 percent to use it.
Is this game a clicker button new game? I love clickers. How many clicks do you need to make for the second button or multiclick to appear? where can I see the progress?

i played the game for a few hours .. it has the potential to be a great game. needs some improvement, like showing the current date and time , you can not know what time it is or what day are you.
also would be good if you can focus on a starter girl so you get to know what to do
i would love to see real scenes of sex actions in the future,
also you should be able to see your stats , and other characters stats changes
keep up the good work

Some interesting issues I have found:
1) You are unable to go any further than talking dirty to a sister character through the "Make a move on" action, but if you schedule back to back dates with the sister you can get an end of date kiss or two. It is repeatable and my character has 3 kisses in the sex stats with his sister. Not sure if you can progress further as my character's sister is always out of energy at that point. Not sure if that's an intended behavior. (Although I would personally like it if there was a way to win over family members so I hope so.)
2) When returning to the main menu and attempting to create a new save file, an error will occur stating that the new PC is trying to leave the club owner role. After closing and reopening the game, you are able to create a new save file just fine.
3) With a female PC, I have run into a few instances of straight male characters refusing the PC's advances due to "not being attracted to men". I am not sure if this is related to issue 2, like some gender flag remaining set from the original save file after creating the second one, or if the female PC option just isn't ready to be played yet.

There's an update to the game as of last night. It should fix the couple of big issues:
1. It's now a simple zip file, no installer program is used. Just unzip wherever you want and run StripClubWars.exe. I was assuming that the installer would make it easier on some people but I understand the apprehension over it if it's not how things are normally done here.
2. The game unfortunately was shipped initially with as a dev build which caused that weird log window to appear sometimes. Sorry about that. The current upload does not have that.

Thanks all for the feedback. So far is been really useful. Addressing some questions here:
The girl, if it's into you and wants to move further than groping will eventually ask you to go home with her. It won't happens always, and it may take a date or two for that to happen. But that's how it works. You can't ask them to go home with you at the end of date (simply because the owner doesn't have a home and I wanted to treat the office as their home to not have to waste time moving the character between home and office). To improve the chances of the girl inviting you home select the option where she gets to pick.
Character images are picked randomly by the game. There are no images assigned to specific scenes or interactions. So whether they appear or not depends on random luck. But all those images are from the game. Play long enough and they will eventually appear. Some of them have not been released yet, so you may have to wait for the next release to see them however.
Yes, how to communicate how decisions are made has proven to be a big challenge. It's also been my experience that most people don't like to read, so I'm not sure I want to spend a lot of time on how the mechanics work. But it's something that needs to be better. I just don't know exactly how to do that yet. And there will be always randomness. The AI decision making results and some of the logic behind them is in the logs if you are interested. (It's very verbose and may not make sense to anyone other than me, but it's there). You can find the log at C:\Users\<your name>\AppData\LocalLow\Total Fluke Studios\StripClubWars\Player.log). The AppData directory is normally hidden so you may need to click on the button that shows hidden files. Having a separate log for just decisions is actually a good idea so I may look into that.

Yes having a community involvement down the line is a very key part of this for me. Stripper packs can be added to the game on the fly right now. If the game gets traction I will document how to do it. All scenes and interactions are handled via data files outside the executable so it will be possible for community members to create new content.

I do like to complicate things
. But what you suggest is exactly what I'm trying to do. Probably not successfully if you feel that way. There may still be too many options at first. But at first there's really just two things to do: 1. hire a bartender, buy some alcohol and open the club and 2. just meet people and get to know them. At the beginning there's like 15 characters that have specific jobs and your opportunities to interact with them are minimal and we add one or two a day. But we don't grow the character pool very fast. Someone else was complaining that there weren't enough girls. So it's balance. What the game doesn't do is give characters a specific personality. They are randomly assigned so part of what getting to know them entails is figuring out which ones are worth spending time on and which ones aren't. A high will power low-lewdness girl will likely not be someone you will want to invest your time with.A cheat option will be in the next release (in 2 weeks to follow F95zone's rules). Won't let you do everything but will let you change things that help you move forward in the game and skip steps if that's what one wants to do.
Not sure what this means. This is an open ended game where you set your own goals. If you want a measure of progress there's a Points value and a Fame value shown on the top bar. Points don't really matter and I may get rid of it. Fame is how popular your club is and the higher the fame the more customers you will get.
OMG, I can't imagine playing like that. The current date and time are shown in the bottom of the screen. Maybe the game window is too big for your screen? Can you try resizing to see if you see it? I can't think of any other reason why it wouldn't show.
You can see your stats by clicking on the bar at the top right (second row) where it shows your basic stats like Health and Arousal. Clicking on this shows your character detail page with all your data. Unlike with other characters that you slowly learn their stats you have full visibility of your stats.
I would love some sex scenes too. If only I could find a 3D animator that's willing to work for free!
1. First of all, the game has incest turned off by default so you won't get pass kissing with her. I understand that including incest in games is problematic, which is why is like that by default. However, you can turn it on via changing a setting on the config.dat file in the game home directory. Look for the line that says "taboos string -" and comment it out by putting a # in the first column then uncomment the line right below it that says "#taboos string noncon,incest,racism" by removing the # sign in the beginning. This enables all content including non-consentual, incest and racism. Or you can just include whichever you want to see. There's not much of that type of content but there's some. And after you do that, your sister will likely still not want to go far with you unless she likes incest. So you'll need to change her opinion of that. She won't want to do it most likely have to work at, like changing some other opinions like to increase her lewdness, like skimpy clothing or casual sex etc. The game picks a random sibling for you at the start so if you got a brother, sucks for you. You'll know after a day or two of so if feel free to restart in that case if you want to go down this route. It's 70% chance girl (also can be changed via that config file). There's a later storyline not in the current release that introduces a younger more naive sister that will be more suitable for seduction.
2. That's weird. It's probably some data is not getting cleaned up when starting a new game. I will look into that.
3. I left the female PC option enabled even though I haven't played much with it so it's probably buggy (well buggier than the male option). If you have specifics of when you are seeing those errors, please share them so I can investigate further. I don't think it's related to the previous issue unless your character shows up as a male when you look at the details.
Same issue as others clicking New Game does nothing.
Tried compatibility modes, running as admin, installing the patched files, nothing worked.

I think you download game patch not the full game. Did you download the 75MB file or the 450MB? If you downloaded the small file that's the patch, you need to download the full game. If you did download the big file, go to the game directory and make sure that the characters, data and local directories exist. Make sure that they got unzipped right. They all need to be at the same directory as the .exe. Also make sure that the scw.ini file in that directory looks like:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content.
Log in or register now.
If that still doesn't work then let me know so I can trouble shoot more. Thanks!
Also make sure that there's a runtime subdirectory in the game directory and is writable. If it can't create that directory and can't write into it, it won't work.
I have downloaded the full game, all the directories and the files are like you said, but still nothing when clicking new game.
