Finally had some time to get around to playing with Spicy and I'm definitely impressed! The stability of the TAI Java platform is much appreciated. I'm just two sessions in, but have a few question and a couple points of possible feedback.
First question is what is the functional difference between the personality strictness (the 0-2) and the the type (0 or 1)? As presented in the intro it's not super clear how these two settings are different from each other. I started off with 1 strictness and type 1, and not sure it feels quite right, although it's too early to know for sure. In general I enjoy a domme type which can be very demanding but still fair, and caring in the end even in the act of working me over
. What differences would I notice if I were to set it to something like strictness 2 and type 0?
I am also seeing black images when the domme reaches for URL files at times. I began with the Spicy starter pack, so the url files are reddit based and set-up right. What I'm noticing in the downloaded pictures files there are a number of mp4 files, likely due now to the prevalence of "gifs" which are not at all actual gifs. Also quite a few broken imgur images, but not sure there's anything which can be done about that.
Last point, I said yes to the domme asking for verbal humiliation and she immediately took it to a more intense level than I thought she meant. Limits in these areas can always be really hard to quantify as there is a huge range of what might be considered humiliation, but is there a way to set this back to 'Maybe' instead of 'Yes'?
A few feedback points have come to mind, I'll spoiler them so there are no surprises ruined for other players:

1. The pussy licking task is an interesting concept but a bit boring IMHO. It's hard to stay as interested or immersed in the fantasy of it when the whole screen is just a big colour coded arrow as it goes on for 7 or 8 minutes. Not sure how to improve this, unless TAI is capable of overlaying the arrow on another image or something like that.
2. The intro is a neat concept and I like the immersion of it. But it's also pretty slow to get through, especially if something goes wrong and it needs to be redone. A 'quick set up' option might be a nice to have for players who want or need to restart, but are familiar with Spicy. It also felt a bit odd that the set up counted as a session, leaving the domme not available to play later in the day.
3. I'd recommend letting users set how long they should have to wait between sessions, especially for part time mode. Schedules differ and it's not out of line to have 4 sessions in say a weekend when there is more free time.
4. Thematically the intro is at odds with the domme so far. The intro sets up this immersive matchmaking service to introduce me to the domme, then the domme immediately begins talking as if she's been in control of me for some time. Obviously this is still Alpha and this doesn't hinder any of the functional parts of Spicy, so just a minor point.
5. Some way to pause the session while dealing with any RL interruptions would definitely be handy.
