this is a alpha release of umch. you can get a idea about how the game will be. it is really a pre-alpha.

it takes a few milliseconds to switch between swfs as the game loads a different one, so I’m not sure what can be done to prevent it from blinking. Maybe I can try to put in a fader that mostly hides it and helps it blend better. time it takes to load new swfs vary based on the computer. I tried playing from a desktop and laptop.
At the end of day 2, ie. 2 days passed at night time with no tasks left, I had 903 money.
I want to see how long it takes people to build up money so I can have a idea about how to make the game progression.
when you get around 1k post what days you are on and how many tasks you have left.
you can check this by exiting any minigame and Pressing ‘Q’ to bring up the tablet. from there, click the Status icon.
I was thinking about making the fighting tournament ticket cost 4k. but it might be good to make it perhaps 2k.
and based on story elements, various things around the school will need to be fixed before you can use them, because a lot of stuff got damaged at eh school overnight. And with Luma and Riley gone for agent training it falls to Maiko to raise the money to get things fixed.
for example you can’t so swimming at the start of the game because someone vandalized the pool and it needs to be cleaned. the story scenes will be included in the next version, still in mmd form.
only cafe stuff is in this build of the game.
if you need help understand what to do in cafe minigames please refer to information found in older posts:

Made it out of the night check status I got $948 in 5 days. I decided to stop once I surpass your 900 mark. Now about what is build so far can’t say since it’s just a alpha stage. But in the mini I like the fact I click on the food and Maiko is holding it. It’s a very nice touch of being in FPV.
Hope it helps me posting this well I’ll say I fuck up 7 times in memorize the pictures of 4 slots to put the food. I did recheck some rounds to remember.
hmm.. day 5 is a long time… did you do the pleasure service at all?
No I did not do pleasure service wanted to do it clean to see what happens. LOL
I’m sure if I did it would be near your result or 3 days a day behind you.
@justjoe2k
ah so about the end of day 5 when playing clean. hmm i didn’t have anything planned for clean play though. I will have to think about it.
Don’t worry I was just testing it clean, also there will be days you can’t always do pleasure service do to agents sometimes being in the mall. It’s not like the cafe is the only job place I’m sure there are lots of option by the time your done with this flash.
hmm I’m not sure. When I’m fully done with the core stuff in this game, before adding extra content, it will be much smaller in scale then umcc. The bulk of what I wanted to do here is side quests and stuff, even different playable characters.
So I was thinking about taking out the “click this button and some number changes” type stuff. aside from buying stuff of course.
but that includes working at the other stores where you just press work and get money and pass the time, training to raise stats, the way you studied at home, etc.
if I take out the generic work button, there isn’t maybe ways left to make money lol. from umcc selling pictures was the only other way unless I’m forgetting about something.
if i leave that stuff in there it’ll at least be some % chance you are successful at it.
maybe other characters can earn money more Maiko in different ways. idk.
like kyle can deposit money in the safe and Maiko can get it out.
Well I tried it with the pleasure service, I got up to you in 1 day. LOL
I don’t know if the clients are random in the cafe. They kept coming so I was able to reach you in 1 day.
yeah once the cafe is lvl 2 you can fail in the cafe mini and rack up clients. it takes no time to service them. I wonder if I should leave it that way?
HI again!
Thought I would give some feedback again
Love the 1st person view, but the cleavage view is a little…. uneasy? (cant find the right word for it right now , lol) when you look ~20 degrees down you are suddenly hit in the face with a lovely pair of boob’s.
While it’s a nice effect (actually I RALLY like it) I worry about the poor girl, she must be leaning back at a 45 degree angle just to let me see her cleavage!
Also sometimes the boobs cover button’s (like exit in the cafe)
I’m wondering, could you increase how far you can look down? look down further for the same effect. With first person comes immersion, I wanna look right down at them lovely round soft… ahem. you could put other stuff down there too, i have a few ideas if your interested.
Also for some reason the boobs don’t like it when i move the mouse diagonally, seems to freeze and/or jump.
Now onto the cafe minigame.
I’m a bit of a special case, I have memory issues. Especially in short term.
So all i can say is i find it extremely hard when the 4 orders come up, i can bearly remember 2 of them. sorry.
Don’t make it easier just for me, I think it’s fine.
Minor bug?
On the first day (day 0?) I left the cafe by accident with the “Looks like someone is eager to chat” message on screen and i couldn’t get rid of it after that, had to restart.
I also got a “undefined” message at 1 point in the cafe, I don’t remember how or why tho, sorry.
Thanks for the feedback. certainly the boobs appearing like that when barely looking down is not at all trying to be realistic. Increasing the range where you can look down and see boobs is more of a technical limitation of the image itself. The image, plus it’s dimensions, are not created in such a way where you could look down and see feet. It would need to increase the height of the image a certain way where the top and bottom are stretched more then in the middle. I briefly tried search of a way to do it, but was unsure of what words to use in the search. I could try it if there is a easy way to do it. there are a lot of backgrounds. not to mention some other problems it might create when characters on the screen. I’ll try it and make a post about it perhaps tomorrow.
if you find yourself struggling in the cafe, just keep getting orders wrong and instead send pattie to go talk to people when the opportunities happen. then service them all in the pleasure service minigame. you will make money that way. faster actually. Maiko’s memory is not the best either. leveling up the cafe is not required.
alternatively you can just press print screen when stuff appears and cheat XD
there are many ways to play the game.
yeah I know about those undefined and chat messages issues thanks, I haven’t handled them yet. I might not fix some stuff right away if it isn’t breaking the game. same thing with the boob overlapping the button. it is still good to mention it thoguh. there is a small chance i may not have noticed. the undefined can be removed by clicking it multiple times after it first appears.
hmm i don’t have any problem with diagonal mouse movement cause boobs to freeze, jump,skip, or any other oddities while playing in flash player as I normally do. but yes there are some issues when playing in the browser. it it looks very different, even adding a small visible space in the middle. thanks for pointing it out. I might need to take out or change how that mechanic works.
not bad so far, small minor thing, maybe can use Maiko’s hairpin during service to give a guestimate for the # required, just something closer to the number, maybe usable once per service or something. i dont quite remember but there was one guy who was like 17 difficulty, and his number was 71, and another guy who was 18 difficulty and his number was 40 ish. and everytime you guess right or wrong, the max hint it gives is more then 10+ or less then 10+ so its a really huge gap for guesses. just a minor thing, if you wanna keep it the way it is for difficulty that’s fine too.
I do want to leave a guessing element to it. so I’m no totally sure on how I want to handle the hairpin yet. but one you use it I will probably have Maiko say something that describes a over or under 50 target.
not sure why it replied here lol, must’ve done somethign wrong >.>
Hey guys, all I see is this… What have I done wrong?!
Shockwave was the answer, f*ck yeah! 😀
glad you got it working~
i had same problem but i cant fix it
you need to make sure you unzip the file.
Fps immersion idk I know in skyrim all bidders did was replace the cam to attach it to the head but well skyrim is a whole different story and game. I personally have no problem with the interface it looks good especially the other character models I look forward to seeing what else we be added in the future 🙂
skyrim had fps and 3rd person without mods though. why did it need to be modded ?
*modders (bidders)
I went back and tested it, it seems to get worse the more screens you pass through.
Eg: open the game->home->park->school->park and move the mouse about. it get’s jumpy/freezing, verry strange. I use the flash projector too.
Not being nasty or anything, but the boob/angle things reminded me of this image:
Hehe
Yeah cheating is probably the way forward for me 🙁
Not sure how you made the connection to this game from that picture.
I don’t experience anything getting worse as I pass through areas but I will investigate potential problems.
I can’t get the game to play. All I see is pink screen with Maiko’s body…
what are you using to play it ?
also make sure you actually unzip the game. it needs to be decompressed to work correctly.
so if it is like the picture above that DISCO posted. he didn’t unzip the game.
im unsure how to go and talk to the clients when they are eager to chat.. Any help would be greatly appreciated
it really isn’t meant to appear at lvl 1 it is a bug i haven’t fixed yet.
the cafe needs to be at lvl 2. then a button appears on the side if you are not finished with orders yet. your friend will come back after two tries. and you see the number of cafe p clients increase by 1
thanks
this version has different style boobs (it’s actually better for modding) and moving from the part to home has a fader you all can try out. might make it white instead of pink though.
http://spiralvortexplay.com/games/umch2_v1_edit1.zip
you need to replace the park in the ares folder with the one in the zip.
i will post versions here:
http://spiralvortexplay.com/svp/umichan-maiko-classroom-havoc/
I see what you did you made the breast bend more down so it looks like your looking down. Trying to make it mod friendly. You did took out that old mod option for the skin.
Yeah I had some complicated slating thing previously.
custom shirts will and stuff will be in the game, I just haven’t added it yet heh.
since i changed the boob to this way. I might be able to do the old first person shower mini. going to try it soon.
Modded coz people wanted to see the chest and stuff especially if your character female I tried the mod but personally it annoying having the head sway side to side and especially when you have idle poses mod. The vanilla skyrim first person the camera is actually placed in the chest not head but I always played my elderscroll games in 3rd person I love the full rotation and view of my character.
oh I see. yeah i played in third person also so i never noticed it. I probably wouldn’t have noticed it anyways. I spent most of my time playing skyrim actually playing the game heh. I think it was before all those sex mods came out anyways.
I finally found the time (and was drunk enough) to make this image, lol.
It’s just a joke.
Maybe in the distant future when you make the game in 3D/Unity (yes i am expecting looking forward to and will donate/patreon this!) it will look much better, lol.
Day 3 958
Thanks, did this include the hentai mini or no ?
The cafe pleasure game is too hard… It’s impossible to predict what number they want even when they say 1-4/10+ over/under … I hope you will make this part easier, and perhaps more similar to the older pleasure games, in the future.
Thanks for trying it out and commenting. the older pleasure games was guess until you get it right. I’d rather not do that here. Here you have the chance to lose. It is not designed so you can predict. It is a guessing game. Like any guessing game, you won’t win every time. But you can win most of the time if you guess smart. Say for example the number you guess is 50. and it says you are 10 over the target number, I hope you aren’t guessing 40? A better number to guess next would be for example 30. I was thinking some items later in the game will probably give you +1 or 2 tries more the what the guy has time for originally. And the hairpin will probably tell you if he number is over or under 50 at the start.
Haven’t had a chance to reply to any comments or messages. But if you check the umch dl section from the download menu at top of the site you will see a dl posted today that has a example of a character in game.
Hi Vortex I write for you an sugestion, i think you like this sugestion, i enter here only for warning about this
Vortex it is not giving me the option to open this with my web browser but it works fine with UMCC.
make sure to unzip it first. and open umch2.swf with your browser or swf player of your choice.
