HTML A Life Lived [v0.7] [ZennyDarkstar]

[ZennyDarkstar]

I mean that because M-F are basically the same I'd like the ability to get up on Tuesday, realize that nothing new will change based on my current stats if I did the exact same actions as Monday and hit a "do it again" button and wake up on Wednesday.

Ok got you... so a go back to bed till tomorrow button...
(sshhh dont tell anyone but I have a +24hour button I use during the testing phase)..
I was thinking the +24 hour button could be one of the small additions to a patreon version.. as I do want to reward patreons in some way.. but at the same time I dont want to take away from playablity for the other players also..
An option to be able to sleep to next 7am in the bedroom (which is available at any point) might work..
Will sleep on this idea (pun intended)

I get to the main page but clicking on create does nothing at all.

If you then click load, after create, does anything happen?
Can I ask what browser you are using / OS.. and if you have any setting on the browser that like no one else might have..
Or are you broswing in cognito mode? I dont know if that might affect the game create..
The data is all held inside the browsers local store.. so anything that might affect that might be the issue..
Also are you running the newer QOL edition.. I dont think this would make a difference though..

First can I say a big thanks for your detailed and positive feedback..
Can I check, are you playing the newer Quality of life edition.. as The hint system in there is better. and also, i have added hints on the npc stats page to show where some bonus events can be found..
I wanted the help to be a little vague (like see x in morning before school).. as I didnt want it to be a literally .."go here. click this, at this time..place fidget A in to sproket C" or its less of a game and more of a set of ikea constuction instuctions.. if that makes sense.

I do get what you are saying about holding back on some of the npc.. but I think others would complain the school is like a ghost town.. I do hope that by the next release that about 10 more NPC will have at least some event. .and there will be even more quests.. some adding to the current, so basic intro to a person type ones.

The lesson have already been rebuilt today (omg omg omg... wait until you guys see)... Ok so I have not built group events into the engine.. with lessons being an example of them.. I intend to also add something in the canteen and dinner table at home for the next release.. Hopefully that will make some people happier

regarding the size / reach / ambition of this project.. I really want this to be one of the best games on this site.. this will not be tomorrow.. might not even be in a year.. but each release should bring it a bit closer to that. Games like Girl Life, SOB, Tower, badboy bobby, love and vice, lust for life and probably a few more I could mention have been some of my personal favs, and where I hope to aspire to be...

Just hope the comments stay possitive as the journey goes

---Forgot to say... Does the magnify option work well enough for you? I was going to leave this as the best solution as it doesnt mean LOADS of work on my side and means I can concentrate more on content.. but at the same time.. if it means however good the content is, people will be turned off by the screen size.. then I am going to have to fix it...

Yes, played the QoL edition, its still a bit lacking in terms of what to do. When you have 50+ NPCs (I was seriously undershooting my guess earlier) saying talk to "x" before "school" isn't particularly helpful (you can still be vague and add something like between 8-11 am or something like that)

about the ghost town thing...yeah. There is no way to make people universally happy. The thing is you have to decide if people are more upset at things being "empty" or "mislead"; Both are annoying options, but luckily its a problem that is solved in time.

Also yes, magnifying it in browser works, its not ideal, but its fine.

What step are you on in the getting a job quest? the phone of mother is like the last step before finish.. So if you are not at that stage in the quest you wont be able to get that..
The parents bedroom door is only shut between 10-12 pm.. its open after midnight.
lockpick is not needed anywhere in the game at this time (this is a future thing to come)

Hi
Attaching a snapshot of the same , hope this helps
TIA

ok if you got to your parents room at 5 am (as it will be light then) must be a sat/sun also(as hinted).. that should trigger the next step..
Not sure why the lockpick is getting invloved lol

Yer is like 54.. at the moment.. I have a list of about 10 more I want to add (but they will only come once there is content for all others).
Will try on being vague while also being more helpful on the hints..

Great news on the magnifying as I didnt fancy trying to work that one out... It would be a total pain...

Look forward to hearing you taken on v0.2 when released.. could be a few weeks.

Hello.

I am going to update the lesson system a little in the next big update.. I am going to have the lesson as a seperate action.. so you can talk to the teacher in the lesson room as well.. But the idea is going to be if you take the lesson, it will take you upto the end of that hour.. so if you want to get the most out of the time, I guess turning up for lesson with 15mins before the end is going to be best.

I understand what you want to do but, as a player, a lesson of 1 hour feels useless if I can grind stats or relationship points during the first 45 minutes.

Are you saying that the mother event takes an hour or you can do it 4 times to take an hour?
Hopefully if I have thought of this, I dont want you getting the money from your mother 4 times.. so it probably advances time to the end of the hour to avoid this..

No, you're right. We can only ask money once but, doing it at 9:00, makes us lose 1 hour and, with everything that has to be done, it feels a waste of time. An event of 15 minutes non repetable would have been better, though I understand your reasoning.

I was waiting for more content to understand how the relationship system will work but, after reading so many interesting comments, I want to ask nevertheless. It all started with this :

Ella is starting off as a boy.. and that is going to be a story / quest where you will help them forward in their journey..

While I'm not personally interested in the sissification kink, whether to myself or others, nor trans people, I find the idea of helping them as a friend very interesting, without sexual gratification in the end of course.

So my question is : will the relationship be specific/unique for each NPC or will we have some sort of leeway? Friend only? Love only?
You said that it will be possible to be a sub to father but will it be possible to stay in more casual/loving way?
About dom/sub in general : is it obligatory or just a possibility, outside bullies of course? While it can be good as an occasional play, I find it less interesting if it's the only way (for example, in gay games, the MC is either top only or bottom only, while I like having the freedom to chose on spot what I want).

I'll return to the game since I didn't see everything yet.

Good continuation.

Lot of interesting questions..
Ok so I have not implemented today(in my build for v0.2 - wont be out for a few weeks), what I am calling group activities.
These at the moment include lesson and eating with the family. but are likely to expand or at least can be where it works.
Group activities will take you to the start of the next hour (but this might have to adapt if longer GAs are needed).. (like a trip to the beach.. however these are more likely to be dealt with as locaiton or npc events .. as I have something for that also)..
In mechanic at the moment can either be to raise the stat of MC by 1 depending on the lesson.. or the like of all chars at the location by 1.. in the case of eating with the fam.. I am not going build much more into that for now, as I want to see how the communite take to it..

I think helping someone to trans, with out sexual content is going to be unlikely.. as I am kinda assuming anyone going down that quest/path is interested in that.. and it would create too many branches to make quests for a kink but not... if that makes sense..

The relationship you have with each of the npcs in the future will come down to first their live / love, their corruption and then your sub/dom compared to theirs.. so if you end up in a corrupt / love relationship with a charector and your sub/dom are about the same.. then it be just sexual.. but if you are more dom, then it might become a more dom (u) sub (them) relationship where the content allow me to.. and viseversa....
So you will be able to alter the dynamics of the relationship while its on going aswell..

If you are sub and you current gf is also sub and certain other npcs are dom.. they might also might start getting involved...
I have a particular photo set or two in mind when i say this..

I am going to have to see what is being requested here as there is alot of content and not alot of time to make it.. I also have some spefic content I want to put out.. and I am also going to be lead by anyone you support me on patreon as this is going to help fund some of the project and want to give something back to them too..

Hopefully this answers your questions

Is there a walkthrough?

 

[ZennyDarkstar]

Is there a walkthrough?

no walkthrough from me sorry.. but the quest button should gave you a good guide of what you can do.. Also once you have spoken to a NPC, If you look at their stats page from the NPC list (button on the bottom right). If they have any events that are not quests, I have added a hint to that.. (the hint word is a rollover to reveal the hint)..
Hopefully that should help you find most of the current content.

 

[huhujjj]

can i ask you what is her name?

 

[ZennyDarkstar]

can i ask you what is her name?

Yes.. its Lexi Luna (Ms Luna in game)

I dont think there will be a way to import / export saves.. unless I build it.. (oh wow thats gonna be fun!)
The UI is sleak , simple and classy.. I think you mean.. lol....
I wanted to keep the ui to fit to a page.. so to avoid any scrollbars.. as I find them a nightmare when playing games on here.. (personal taste im sure)...
I think the UI might become more familar as you play the game.. to be fair no one has ever played a ui exactly like this. where as some of the other games on here but in things like qsp/rags/twine etc all follow is standard set up.. but also its restrictions.
I have tried to build something that has a feel of a qsp layout but with a more graphical buttons and slightly more modern look..
Maybe I have missed the bullseye on that...

Thanks for your comments though

It probably doesnt help that I hate the qsp layout and as far as layout changes go, I could point you to degrees of lewdity which I believe uses twine and there is definitely some flexibility in that.

When you meet Eva in your sister's room and encourage her to look further, you get a message stating that "seeing your cousin stretch like this gives you an idea". Is it not possible to take this event further? Do I need more corruption (12), better relationship (28)? Would be nice to see the requirements if indeed that's what's keeping more content hidden for now. Feels strange to read that it gives you "an idea" but not even knowing which idea (one can imagine, but still). Thanks for any help!

Do you have the phone?
If you have bought the phone... and possibly (but not needed) started the upskirt king quest line.. then the idea, should present its self to you in the form of a button..
I will tweek the comment so if you dont have the phone to say something a bit more suggesting in that way.

Thanks! Have the phone but not yet met the requirements to start the quest. Having a hard time raising the MC corruption... Been at 12 for a long time now.

Have you been reading porn, or watching porn on laptop (if you have it).. They are the best way. Taking pictures will also help..
And completely certain other quests that might be lower requirements (or steps of)..
Also I think certain interactions will raise it.. possibly catching your sister coming out of the bathroom..

 

[lordcek]

any idea how to start grandmother quest?
