Framed

A couple of bugs I spotted: If you return to your house while being chased by the police, they will sometimes catch you while you're in the process of entering your door, causing the popup to appear for a split second before you go inside. This causes you to be stuck in a sort of "limbo" state where the game thinks you're in a popup that doesn't exist: your cursor is still visible, but you can move your character and camera, just not interact with anything else.

After I had the above thing happen to me, and closed out of the game, something about my save file also seems to be messed up, preventing me from buying clothing upgrades. Whenever I buy the speed/sprint related clothing items, they don't show up in my "upgrades" menu, and when I come back into the game after closing it, they're back in the shop, although I can never tell if that has something to do with them just saving, or my progress not having saved. This game really needs SOMETHING to let you save, or tell you when it's saving your progress. Like, does it save each time you sleep? Or only when you exit the game?

Clicking the same photo in the gallery twice in very quick succession seems to also softlock you, instead with a blank photo that you can't back out of, with no tags, and also lower down than a photo is supposed to be.

Also, one time when I loaded up the game, everything was slowed down by about 50%. The photo challenge wheel, my and NPCs' movement speeds, and even text appearing in textboxes. No clue what caused it, might've also had something to do with getting caught by police.

I've also had one time where I tried to click a nighttime photo location, but it just alerted as if I was in someone's line of sight, even though no police or cameras were looking at me.

Sorry I can't provide more info on those last two, but I honestly don't know what the deal is.

Also, a bit of feedback that I mentioned to Snapshot's dev, but also seems to be an issue in this: Some colors/other traits of panty photos being a lot less common than others. In this game, I noticed that I was getting a lot more pink panties than any other type, which presents a problem when the shady guys ask for something like, say, blue panties. Or even worse when they ask for something even more specific, like "red with frills", which I can't imagine there's too many photos with, since I haven't found any yet. 

I suggest doing one of two things: Just make more pics with these less-common traits/combinations (or make the ones you do have more likely to appear, possibly via randomizing the color of panty pic given before choosing the individual one when taking a pic.), or make the shady guys not choose them/be less picky (for example, you could replace "red" with "red or black" or something like that.) This advice is particularly applicable to this game, since not every pic you get is even a pantyshot at all, with some being pants/tops. Which, by the way, is a great feature, IMO. But it does make it even less likely to get the combos that you want.

Also, minor thing, but the 3rd from last Common panty pic has spots, but isn't tagged as "Spots".

P.S.: The "circle" photo minigame seems a lot faster and harder than the "bar" photo minigame, so I think the speed on that one could use a bit more adjusting.

Just from looking at the preview images and game description, is this inspired by Snapshot? I notice a lot of visual and gameplay similarities. If not, that's a huge coincidence.

Don't get me wrong, I love to have more content like this, especially with how nice your pixel style looks. And from the looks of it, your version has some systems that Snapshot doesn't.

When does the Android/Mobile devices will be available?

how do I increase the relationship with the girls?

Hello there, I love the concept of your game here and I believe it has a lot of potential, however I would like to add some feedbacks + suggestions, all of which you are free to turn down. Apologies if anything I say comes across as rude or negative in nature, I only want to help out and see this concept flourish!

Feedback:

The policer are extremely easy to evade and break, turning a few corners breaks them, and even if you get caught the penalty is extremely small.

The cameras serve zero use, all's they do is add to your stars, which brings me into my next point which is that stars don't actually effect the gameplay in any kind of way, if you have one and happened to be seen, you get chased, that's all. This fact doesn't change if you have 1 or 10 stars.

The gameplay loop becomes very easy very fast, and while I'm obviously not expecting some kind of extremely difficult game, I also feel as the loop may become monotonous to people, I'm sure you plan on adding more mini-games and such for taking photos, but the current ones are very simple and fail to provide substantial entertainment.

Overall, there is a lack of consequence to failing, and it's very easy to get everything in 10-15 minutes, 30 at most.

Suggestions:

For the curfew time, the street lights could increase the vision of the police, making breezing through and making money more challenging.

When caught by somebody, instead of just adding a star to your status, it could add a star and alert nearby police, having some kind of consequence would make it a little harder.

Of course, another suggestion is perhaps different minigames for picture taking and adding some kind of high-risk idea, you can take up to 2 pictures of someone, but the risk of being caught is much higher.

Add a wanted system. Make it so the stars equate to more aggressive searching from police, as well as things like wanted posters or tip-offs so the normal civilians can tattle on you.

And my last request; not suggestion. Trans girls when? :3

New bug found! With 26.08 I've noticed that sometimes when initiating the 'circle' minigame, the white line moves at an agonizingly slow pace to the point where I would fail the game on purpose just to get out of the screen. 

Love the game btw.

Ok so I got a new and fun glitch. I'm not sure if it's replicable, but if you're out and about through the entirety of the curfew it didn't really end and after sleeping until curfew right as 7 am hit every window basically auto failed as soon as I pressed E.

curvey time, window photoshoot just froze the game, need immediate fix

Try using color with different contras they were too hard to differentiate for the npc and the circle minigame

the rest is fine, great game

any plan for new camera upgrade?

your game is really good, i almost completed the full album of photos without cheats (since i havent payed) and had fun throught most of it, there are e few bugs as the fact that when you go to sleep it wakes you up monday if you chose morning and tuesday if it's curfew.

But throught the fact that this is a demo, i can't wait to play the full game when it gets out.

Yeah so I'm stuck as well as soon as I enter the window minigame...

hey! i found a bug? i think... when i go to a window at night and press E, nothing happens and i'm soft locked. i need to restart the game to play again!

maybe im dumb, but how does the window mini game work? everytime i press start it basically instantly boots me out and gives me 1 star. maybe bug idk pls help

I cant find girls at night 

edit - ok i'm stupid

Encountered a bug where after paying your bills it still draws the money out of your account putting it into the negatives anyways.

Made it to night of day 2 before having to force close. I entered my apartment building just after the street lights turned on and having taken a photo. The E key no longer functioned, so I couldn't leave, enter my room, examine any other rooms, or check vending machines. Playing on Windows 11.

big feedback, coming from 0.2.6f:

Hi pink pixel, love the game. but i have some idea and feedback to give so here my list

-Go Pokemon Card Route. i have all upgrade, and if im plyaing its to test new update and have a bigger collection. by going the pokemon route i mean make the game a collectible picture game. make it more satisying, when you take a picture put little sfx based on the category (normal, rare, super rare, ect) and the more its legendary the more the effect. for making the experience better, a little sticker or (pretty big text) telling you if its new, already taken or already taken but its now in a better quality. in you galery it would be nice to more effectively see wich one is in a bad quality.

- Better quest. for now the quest is a thing. i dont really pay attention and dont really hunt for it. so it would be nice if you have a menu that a summary of all the task, a little pop up appear when you have a picture that somebody is asking. and maybe a more variety ?

- VN route. from what i have heard you have a visual novel route your working on ? or the ability to date girl ? if you do this it would be nice to NOT be a visual novel too much or "buy gift, give gift" the idea of quest feel like a more unique approach to it. maybe a special girl on the map will request picture and by providing her the picture the relation go up ? i dont have a lot of idea for each characters what her quest would be like but i think its more fun. maybe have the characters do like photography job with a girl and do her unique task that corrupt her ? maybe while you complete your gallery, you have a better relationship with a computer girl ? im sure you can have idea.

- More Upgrade ! i love the slow progression of getting upgrade. but when you bought everything, there isnt too much to do else. later you could take time and date girl or go the Collecting route, but you need to make the fact of taking and getting money always usefull (whitout being buy gift, give gift) upgrade, costume, buy deco for you room that upgrade some stats. or buy better and better camera ? and being able to take a more variety of picture. or be able to go to new city with new girl and type of picture.

- More Variety in the picture. one most important thing is variety. i had idea like in the night you could found couple having sex in a bush or at random spot (making the night more fun that running in circle and look for window with light for 2-3 picutre) the gameplay night need to be as fun and full of possibility as day. also maybe have more type of clothes ? like every girl have a skirt in this town ? i thinking more at night have girl in more sexy clothes or more unique. but even for the day, maybe have girl in different clothes making it able to take boobs photo, butt in tight pant, something like that. maybe have very very rare occasion where you can interact with the girl and have a scene with her to make even better photo. 

- Tweaks and random idea.

Love the running ability, its a nice addition. 

also like the fact that girl who we have already taken a picture have a different color however i find it a bit hard to really see, if you could make them a bit more different. 

Have maybe more reccurent girl ? like there is multiple girl with a specific trait that you can take picture (could be good for a date characters) the more you take picture everyday make her wanting to show more. 

Building, im thinking like going into a coffee shop, sitting on a table and being able to take a picture under a table, things like that. having building you can enter and have unique photo.

Being able to film video/more animation. i dont really know what to say about it, its very explicit. a way of filming video in the futur or have more animation. maybe when you masturbate to a picture you can a little dream of the guy doing something to the girl. i found the little masturbation minigame not really interesting or usefull. maybe for people that want to see a dick being stroken ? because if i want to see the picture i can in the gallery so maybe add something special to make it more interesting that just see a dingus being stroken (or have a sperm bar that you need to empty from time to time but im scared in the futur it become just like a boring task to do.)

More minigame. add a bit of variety to the minigame or add more variety for the maze minigame. 

i think that every idea i was thinking while playing the game. i just want to say that a lot of idea, and im not expecting that if you put those idea in the game, there will be in the next update. all of those idea is my feedback and if in the futur you want to add more things. the most important i would say is everything from the "pokemon card" text. so that people can kind of get addicted to the collecting part of the game even if there isnt much content for now.

i will finish by saying i love your game, very nice, unqiue and fun. i will follow it very close and if you can put this game on steam, this would be awesome (but i know that for adult game its not that good with all the story of visa/mastercard) i would totally buy it !

for summary, we kiss

Two things

First is an error report: Some of the street missions are literally impossible. So, I'm assuming the street missions just look at the possible categories on photos and choose some random ones. However, this leads to an error: Currently, my three missions are to get a blue thong, a pink thong, and a white thong. I have almost all the photos unlocked (I'm missing two Night photos only) and those three photos just don't exist. Since there's no way (that I've found) to cancel street missions, I physically cannot get any more street missions.

Second is a suggestion: There should be a way to get more girls/windows spawned. I'm grinding to get all photos, and I've seen a peak of nine girls during the day and three at night. Maybe you could add a risk-reward mechanic to the stars: when you have higher stars, more police spawn, so make it so more photo opportunities spawn. This would require a bit of a change to current star mechanics, an easy way is to have a togglable option to get rid of stars upon sleeping through the night. This would make gaining stars be more than just a way to add difficulty, and would make getting all the photos unlocked easier (and more fun).

Besides those, great game! It's surprisingly fun and with a bit more fleshing out, it can be something really special. Keep up the good work!

This game is great, however one suggestion that's a little dumb but also 100% serious is to make the game playable with one hand, like being able to navigate menus/minigames with wasd, and moving the camera with something like q/e or z/c.

Also any animations, even few and rare would be a godly addition, although no rush for that one considering the plentiful updates you already have planned.

I look forward to seeing where you take this game, incredible so far, hopefully it only gets better.

Bugs that I found:

Sometimes when sleeping the screem get stuck in "Sleeping screen", the next day never start, trying to restart the game sometimes results in skiping the next day.

Some times the game stop respoding to any input when leaving ui screens, like computer.

Cameras dont pause while taking photos.

Dumb suggestion: Some police are purple instead of blue, you can take pictures of those ones (but on a yellow they immediately start chasing you).

It would be nice if there were t-girls or femboys in the game too

10/10 game. love the 3D minigame, love the art, love the idea/upgrade, i would love more ! more picture, more upgrade, more city maybe. this could become one of my favorite game

If the map ever gets bigger, I really do recommend a map button to show where you and POIs are. I wasn't paying attention to the building you walk out of and my entire first day was spent walking up to random buildings until it happened to be the correct building (or at least give some indicator on the building like the photography and clothes shop). Being able to see where purple guys are/what "quests" you've accepted are would be super useful as well.

I also would like to add again like others have mentioned, it would be very useful to give some indicator of who you've already photographed, so you don't waste time chasing them down only to realize you can't take a photo. Maybe make them a different shade of pink or anything to indicate it.

Those are honestly my biggest suggestions, besides fixing the "getting caught immediately after hitting E/left-click" bug.

the game's concept is really good, its fun but short, 1-2 hours of gameplay

the map could be bigger as i saw some paths blocked with cars,

more girls should be good and at night there should be an upgrade for the spawnrate of windows,

you could also add sounds/moans or like clapping sounds on windows indicating a legendary,

maybe you could also make it so we can take pictures of the cops at night and morning, there should be an indicator whether if the cop is a male or female

and at the hallway, maybe we can date girls there and have options to take pictures/sex

you could also add some girls who would want sex with the player, maybe there would be an option for this: like having the girl follow you then when you are in a spot you like you could have sex with the girl, and if you could animate those scenes it would be a good addition to the game.

overall: great game, more room for improvement, could also add a cheat menu/cheat codes for people who dont want to grind as much and just free run the game

Its fun but really short. The only goal really is just to get all the upgrades, then there's nothing to do. I beat it in like 1-2 hours.

There's a few bugs.  Sometimes, if you get caught, for the rest of the day (and sometimes until you leave to the main menu and come back in) you get caught no matter what angle you're at.

Sometimes at night, there are windows that automatically catch you with no minigame.  I think maybe it starts you on a line in the minigame?

Sometimes, when you go out to the main menu and back in, the game buttons become unclickable.

Also, one hope for the future is more variety in the skintones of the girls?  Like, I'm noticing they're all white, haha.

Feedback for Framed - I couldn't see an email for feedback and the discord link didn't work. 

It was not immediately clear who I could take photos of; I found by accident that the pink characters displayed the camera symbol upon getting close enough to them. It was also not clear that the blue characters were cops, this should be stated along with the pink targets.

Also, it is not clear if taking a photo of someone will set off them knowing. The current mechanics convey the idea that as long as I am not in eyesight, I am fine. If this isn’t the case this should be told to the player and perhaps be displayed on screen.

• Chance to be caught taking photo – X%

There's no way to tell which girls you’ve already taken a photo of that day before walking up to them and the button not coming up. I also think there should be more pink character spawning in, I go to the point where I could take more photos a day than women I could photograph.

There also should be a ‘practice’ section in your room where you can try the mini game before encountering them in the world.

Exiting to menu should mention saving your data, I was worried that leaving the game would cause all my progress to be deleted because this wasn’t mentioned.

The Game needs a gallery; I shouldn’t have to screenshot the picture to be able to look at it again. The gallery should also indicate how many photos I’m missing from the total collection (This is for completionists).

The speed boost from the shoes is too small, if you’re going to keep it this small, I recommend making it upgradable multiple times, like the amount of photographs one can take. The price of the shoes and jumper do mean that they weren’t purchased until I’d fully upgraded my camera. If this is your intention this is good, if not the price should be re-evaluated.  

Features that haven’t been added yet should say so, it is confusing if the feature is inaccessible because my character hasn’t unlocked it or that it’s not in the game. What’s the deal with the hallway? I went back to it constantly, thinking maybe I have to have over a grand to have confidence, or maybe be fully upgraded.

There is a gap behind a tree, between a blue and yellow building where you can get to the outside of the map.

I encountered a bug where after selling a pic to the shady man, the next interaction (such as going in your building) will bring up his dialogue.

The game froze after sleeping.

Encountered bug where upon doing a night-time photo and getting ! my follow up daytime photos also automatically received this. Had to main menu exit and re-enter to fix.

-

Overall, I think this game has some great potential. It would be excellent to see it fit in the ‘pay off debt simulator’ that games such as luck be a landlord have made popular.

Each successive rent pay off could give the player confidence, this could increase the likelihood of capturing rarer images.

Thank you for reading this feedback and making this great little game

there is a gap in buildings if you head out of the house and hug the left hand wall, I fell into the void :(

Hi,
The only feedback I have is moreso advice: having a Patreon for a non-con game is going to bite you in the ass. It'll likely force you to change how you develop the game entirely. I would seriously consider a subscribestar or boosty or some other form of subscription service for people to support you.

Come across another bug, after closing the game, going back to it I lose the last upgrade that I got to remove the artifacting from the pictures. Previous time I got that bug after a couple of days it let me buy it again at the camera upgrade store, but not the second time I've gotten it.

Will there be an Android version in the future?

Hey, this game is pretty fun!

I didn't encounter any of the bugs that other people were mentioning here, but I do have one suggestion.

Having the game remind you that rent is due soon would be nice. When I was playing, I was passing through the days pretty quickly, and before I knew it, I suddenly got a game over due to missing my rent.

That probably wouldn't have happened if the game let me know that I was about to lose at any point.

bugs:

As noted before, I'm getting the bug that freezes everything when you exit the sell window. it seems to happen more often if I click "sell all" than if I sell the photos individually. When this happens you have to force quit the game which seems to lose a lot of progress. For some reason it lost me one of the upgrades once even though I had bought that upgrade on a much earlier day

When resting til morning at night it doesn't rest until that morning, it rests until the next day's morning, effectively skipping a day. For example if I'm resting on the night of day 3 the transition screen shows day 3->4 like it should, but then it shows day 5 when the morning loads in

Pretty often no one ends up spawning in the morning, which makes me have to go back to the main menu and reload it

When the game reloads it seems to keep the money you had when you quit the game, but gets rid of all upgrades you got in the day and the bill payment you made during that day if any

I paid the bill at night on day 6, slept until morning, and I still got a game over for not paying the bill. might be related to the day skipping bug?

One of the maze layouts is impossible. The one with the big horizontal wall in the middle. It spawns you on top of that and you instantly lose

suggestions:

start players at the apartment and make it more obvious that's the "home base", I had to look around a while to find where to turn the pictures in and that's the kind of frustration that makes people turn the game off

overall:

fun concept, I can see how it can evolve and get more interesting as it goes on. Maybe it already does but I can't get past the first bill due to previously mentioned bugs. Very nice pixel art, I love that

I love this game but there is a bug that freezes the screen when i occasionally try to exit out of the sell window and when you sleep

I just tried to load into a previous game session, but I got a black screen, even after 10 minutes it stayed black and blank, I could press tab and open the inventory (I saw my mouse appear but not the actual inventory) Maybe it failed to load the level setup as I was not in my home when I left the game.

that just means I can play the game again and enjoy it again!
