Yoshiwara

Just discovered this game yesterday and it's really cool, I've been dying to play some brothel management game for some time now.

The gameplay is not that complex, but the lack of tutorial made me waste a lot of time just to get some basic control. 

Some notes from me if you wanna play (tbf, i play the window 0.0.1.6 version):

+ the game currency includes gold (hire girls, pay their salaries, improve brothel facilities and buy things from the merchant), action points (the globe icon, used to scout girls and mingle to skip some specific offers from a customer instead of end service, reset everyday, +1 post-noon)

+ the girls have 6 characteristic stats (toggle the mouse to them to read the meaning, can be improve by equip items in the item tab or skills) and 8 other stats for brothel activities (when serving customers, check the stats, normally 50 can get okay result or above more easier, but it also seems like the longer you play the higher it demand, I just played 1,5 in-game year). The golden balls represent the amount of activities that your girl can do per day (each time serving consumes 1-2, each activity in job tab consumes 1, administrator consumes 3). Yellow traits only give buffs, purple traits are not good, and blue traits are both. Go to Jobs tab and make your girls attend lessons to improve their stats and get skill points much faster (or courtesan lessons to unlock the courtesan stat if you need them to do prostitution later, courtesan lessons are gone once your girl has unlocked the courtesan stat, some traits allow the girls to immediately do prostitution upon hired without attending courtesan lessons). Be aware that multiple girls can refuse to work. The higher the rank (D-C-B-A, idk if there are higher), the higher the salaries (or called upkeep in this game).

+ to get girls for your brothel, go to scout tab (magnifying glass), and press [scout 02]. It'll consume 2 action points and give you 6-9 girls to choose (can choose multiple), the higher the price, the better the quality of the traits they got.

+ to get to work, press the advance button (arrow button). You'll then serve noon, evening and night. At first, you only have 1-3 customers/session, but later on it can be up to 12 (or even further, idk).

+ the tip for an easier experience is to divide your girls into 4 different groups: 1. high masseuse/waitress/companion (2 at first 6+ later), 2. high hostess/boardgame (1 at first, 2+ later), 3. entertainer/tea maker specialist (1 at first, 2 later), 4. courtesans specialist (more than 2, can be converted from the first group, they are often versatile and even get more broken after obtain the trait superb techique from skills tab which can let them sustain through multiple prostitute session much easier, can help out other services if neccesary). 

Bugs:

I also ran into the bug like the one that was commented before me as unlike the skills, the skill tree was not saved with the game, so I also got a lot of skill stacking, this is also kinda annoying if I haven't finished the skill tree that I desperately want the last section of it. But thanks to it, none of my girls were useless.

Ideas:

I haven't made a true game yet, but I think to fix the bug above, make the skill tree check the girl's traits, if the skill tree contains the trait that the girl already has, apply that for the tree. For wandering around towns, I think you should add "form supply provider contract" to make use of the cook role (idk if it does appear in-game yet since it only appears in the skill tree description). None of them or the contract expired or is broken, most services are unavailable, the customers are pissed, and the reputation can be down if that day has many wealthy customers.

I really like how the gameplay goes, looking forward to future updates.
