🕑 Added 2017-10-22 21:00:11 +0000 UTC Hey guys, the clear winner of the previous poll, is more jobs.I think I have a really cool idea for making jobs a little more interesting, and would like your opinion:
For each job you do, you would have a level and required stats.
Every time you work, you choose wich customer to serve, but each customer has different requirements (stat/time) and different rewards (money/exp/event).
If you succesfully serve a customer, you gain experience and level up your job level (for that job), unlocking new customers with bigger rewards (and new events).
Now before I go adding all that, I'd like to know: is this something that seems fun to you? :)

I want the officer lady =D ı hope that scene updated this week :D But whatever it updated,faerin knows how to do it :)
maybe a combination of both would be awesome, working and peeking.
is not Friday? I have a feeling like it does. (haha)
Trumpdog
so....is it....friday yet???=D
Faerin
Cool idea! That won't be included in this version, but I will add it my list for sure!
Faerin
Eventually I want to add at least some events for all the NPC's.
Faerin
Oh they are, actually all of the planned jobs are based on exisiting (and planned) locations!
Tao Dude
Is there a prospect of a relationship with the Pizzeria owner, or is she just a source of work?
Tao Dude
To reduce the coding/rendering burden, some of the jobs could be based on existing locations, like being a personal trainer at the gym, or a croupier at the Casino.

Faerin I would like to put a suggestion for a job and it would be a photographer for a modelling agency or something similar.
OK
Faerin
Sorry, but I'm fully focussed on coding the jobs right now, so no images yet. Hopefully later this week!
Hello. you could send a photo of the new update, let's wait for it better and have something to look forward to.

First, why you need money for. Grind, special items, outfits, shopping etc. Second, what if a work place is just a new hunting grounds?
Faerin
Yes, travel times will be adjusted in this update.
Numberwang
Sounds like a good system, but I'd like to see the jobs unlock unique scenes with the different characters, or maybe each job would have a unique character (boss, co-worker, etc) that warms up to you as you get better at the job.
Trumpdog
looking forward to this update either way...grind or no grind^^
Doug Dastardly
Sounds like more grinding to me. Just my $.02
Yes a job at the Gym, a relationship with the chick that works there, or maybe a bouncer at the club, for the same reason?

The work system needs improvement, but if you implement everything in your post I'm afraid it'll take too much time away from 'home activities'. Unless you can somehow adjust time segments so that each 'action' takes a very short time, so nothing is taken away from home time. btw 4 hours by subway from home to the gym seems excessive, don't you think?
Faerin
Hey Eric, all good points! I agree and those are all things that I would like to address in the coming update(s)!
Eric Woodard
I like the idea so long as the jobs don't cut too deeply into the rest of the character's 'life', which travel time could play a big role. I definitely think it is only worth adding new jobs if there are some extra reasons to be doing them, including the events you mentioned, maybe extra items you can only get through the job. Also, having a few more things you can use money for would be good, as right now the only reason to keep working once you have purchased the existing stuff is to pay for travel.
Faerin
That's something that will be addressed in the next update as well Thanny!
Thanny
I'd first want to see travel times made more reasonable. No job is fun if it takes too much of the day to get there and back without spending half the salary you make on travel (and then still too much).
Faerin
Good one!
Robert Waites Junior

Working at Club Neon as a busboy and then work up to Bartender or Bouncer. Some Vicy action or Amy. If mom is the superhero then as her sidekick lol
Faerin
Definitely, want to use all stats and make it more useful to level them up (as this would increase the chance of succes for a certain job/customer)
Mr.FeelGood
hope you incorporate charisma to this
