I absolutely love the atmosphere of this game. Very original. Can't wait for further updates!

This game is super cool, I sadly got softlocked so I'll probably wait for an update and then start from the beginning again T_T (can't find anything new except for when entering the church the same dialogue gets played whenever I enter it).

You are probably aware of the bugs by now so I'll just skip those and mention some other thoughts I have on this:

To be able to see what you're meant to be brewing/mixing (kinda like in VA11-HallA, where they show the last drink that was mentioned on the mixing screen, so even if you didn't catch what they want you can still see it on screen), this is especially important I feel like cause you can't go back in the text. I luckily didn't get stuck but I could feel like you could easily miss that if you're not paying attention 100% of the time. 

It would also be really cool for characters to have portraits or some other indicator on who is speaking, because honestly I kinda got lost on who is talking when I first played, especially after picking the game up again after a few days of not playing (maybe some sort of notebook would be nice, so you can keep track of the storylines easier? tho that might just be a me issue lol).

Changing the font would also be a big one tbh, because it something is kinda hard to decypher it. An option to change it, or just an update to the font would be great.

Oh, and you can also barely read the credits, maybe I missed some keybind that stops them but they are way too fast to actually read them.

i hope i can understand the game text easier...but my english is too bad to get it QAQ

the art style impressed me so great.and i wanna know more about the game roles and story(✿◕‿◕✿)

but im a chinese with poor english ＞﹏＜

can i ask :if the game will has chinese text?  

I really love the music from the radio! So signed up account to post comment.

Can you list up all music you add in radio? I`ll listen it all.Looking forward to your development! :D

I've created account on this site just to say that this is my favorite game from now on

Before I state the issues i've had, I want to say this game's visuals are seriously one of the most unique and stunning visuals i've ever seen, it enhances the atmosphere by a million times, the maids having distinctive designs and personalities, although some character's head sizes seemed off compared to others but i can overlook that if that's the style you're going for, the music, just like maidcore is also amazing and soulful and its Va11-hall-a-esque storytelling and worldbuilding instantly captivated me into wanting more. I seriously think this game has potential and I know YOU the Dev, is working hard on delivering, even in it's buggy state, not many games captivated me as much as this. (dont really know the ToS, i skip ToS cuz frankly i get the gist and dont really care, so i tried being proper as possible otherwise id be praising this like a lunatic.)

Ok, for bugs, this game is seriously in rough shape (I know its in early development stages so its not a big deal and hope this helps)

. Radio doesn't seem to work

. Character's suddenly have a ??? whenever you load back in

. Many misspellings here and there

. The letter "Z" seems to not work at all and fuses with the entire word

.Characters will say "double it" and doing so will say that you "f***cked up"

.Characters disappearing is a little wonky and some animations would repeat multiple times or would just look out of place, like iya hitting marimo

. When theres multiple characters on screen, some of the characters will be behind others being almost completely hidden (perhaps moving characters who aren't providing much out of screen until they do or say their farewells or perhaps having a sprite at the bottom of the screen if no more characters can fit)

.Character's dialogue do not sync up with what you did.

.Day 2 is extremely buggy and im not sure if you can even get passed it since i got softlocked multiple times

.In Day 2, talking to yakui first leads to a softlock and the cat scene bugs out where the cat splits in 2 and half it's body is missing

.In Day 2, talking to either Dorei or Shitai first will play out the cat scene, then either one will lead you to itai's argument, then talking to the other characters (Yakui, Shitai, or Dorei, based on who you chose first) will play the same scene up to 2 more times

.In Day 2, going to "above finished" softlocks you

.In Day 2, after talking to everyone, with the amount of bugs and avoiding softlocks, there's nothing to do and the game seamlessly just ends here, even found the bar trying to figure out what to do next

These are all the bugs i've stumbled upon but I think there should be more accessibility options like having a skip button or fastforward, having a backlog, being able to change the voice separate from sound (voices could use work, definitely love the banjo-kazooie sort of voiceacting but all the maids sound the same it gets repetitive), knowing what you cooked up, knowing what song is currently playing, or having a small character description of the various maids you've encountered, perhaps growing as you learn more about them.

Definitely looking forward to this game no matter how long till launch, maidcore has seriously opened me to more music genres and creators from russia and affected me in a personal level, whether in hobbies or feelings. I will continue to support it's artists and creators whether it stays niche or blows up in popularity, GOOD LUCK! 

Maidcore dating sim? awsm!!!

Btw rus localization in future?

Hello!

First, I loved the game's credits, to be honest, I hadn't known this game for a long time, but the credits tell your personal story and I thought it was incredible, all the support you received, your hardness in life and perseverance, congratulations on your work, it's incredible, but don't forget to take care of yourself too.

Project Basement Dating (PBD) is wonderful, the visuals are excellent, it gives off an energy that surrounds you and makes you disconnect from the rest of the world, I simply love this art style that has these “living scribbles”, I spent hours just trying read each of the graffiti too, this whole purple palette (I love this color) and how each character has a different trait without breaking the style of the game.

I also thought that the ambient sounds helped a lot to transport the player to the atmosphere of the game, and then I noticed the maid radio and I loved it! It's an experience like no other!

I must say that at first I was a little lost in the plot, but that's normal in this genre, over the time I assimilated this game world better. I was very happy with the result, I'm a big fan of works with a unique look and different plot, and PBD and all its themes and lore is something magnificent.

I've separated some small observations about some things in the game, you can see these as tips, or you can just ignore everything, the game is excellent and I just want to help in any way I can, even if it's with a small list like this:

- Radio UI (clicking on the radio advances dialogues and things

type), the radio indicator (green line) does not appear to be working and there appear to be 2 smiley face buttons on the radio that do not work either;

- UI indicating which locations available to move during the locomotion parts, maybe little arrows on the edge of screen;

- Names of characters disappears and appears as ??? making it hard to know who is speaking, and, as everyone has the same voice, it doesn't help much;

- Speech sounds, maybe adjust the tone slightly to distinguish between the characters and I think the MC should not have a voice sound (at least for when he is thinking and not speaking);

- Sentences of the locations can get confused with the font and background when choosing locations (maybe a textbox behind should help);

- Backlog and skip buttons (please, these are very welcome accessibility options in any game);

- Minor typing errors (like allright, enhancment)

- The letter z in the font is broken (comes out tangled with the next letter);

- Did Ilya disappear after the drink? on the beginning of day 2

- Maybe a simple art for drinks/combinations when you mix they, even to know if it worked;

- Did I break the plot at the beginning of the second day? I talked to Dorei first but Shitai said I started the day talking with her;

- A character glossary could help, even to promote the artists and the maid core genre, same idea of the radio in game;

- Maybe an option to leave a window with artist name, song name, album etc. of current music on the radio (to promote the artists and maid core genre);

- Hide UI button (to see art and sprites) is always fine and the art is sooo good!;

- Glossary for very specific terms (such as chort, alkanost) or not, well… Wikipedia exist for a reason after all!;

- Characters disappear very quickly (sometimes I think I broke the game or something), a farewell speech and/or a fade out sprite effect would be more interesting);

- I got a softlock at above finished (there was nowhere else to go) on day 2;

-  After meeting Ilya in front of the church and the new char in the church, nothing else happens in the game, I can't find anyone else;

- Please, as a non-native English speaker and slow reader, I would love if the text between chapters are click to advance and not auto advance;

But I'm already very happy with the result of your work, congratulations! How much bigger will the final version of the game be? Do you have any idea of the price yet?

I wish you and all your projects every success and don't forget to take care of yourself too.
