HTML Abandoned Become Alpha [v0.3.63] [Grave Mercutio]

[Black Xoul]

I modified the code checking to accept the code "letmein" as a unlimited fap code. Just replace the index.html in the game's main directory.

Guys, here's some info regarding the situation for anyone interested:

Let's start by summing up the situation:
1. Patreon removed my account without notice. I wasn't even able to get them to tell me why they removed it (they ignore my questions completely).
2. This means 80% of my profits from the game is gone.
3. I quit my job 2 weeks ago to focus on the game, so that means - I have very little income at the moment.

So, the situation is pretty grim. But I have some ideas. I'm afraid that not everyone will like them, but if you like the game, there's really little choice.

So here's what I'm doing to fix it:
1. When they removed my account, I was close to publish new release with a lot new content. I've delayed it couple days, to change some things in the game, remove all the Patreon info and so on. But it's coming very soon, this week for sure.
2. My main headquarters will now be on

. This is where all the main info about the game will be, all the updates, and so on. I'll also delete the polls from the game itself (they were broken, and people were hacking them) and move the polls here.
3. I'm adding ads to the game for non-supporters. If you support me either by subscribing on

You must be registered to see the links

or by buing Fap Mode on PayPal - you won't see the ads. In all the other cases, you should see them. Sorry, I literally hate ads, but there's no other way. I have 1000-2000 players daily that spend 30 minutes on average in the game, but only 1%-2% leaves any money, which is why the situation got so dramatic. With ads it might be slightly better, but to be honest I have no idea if it'll be enough - I never used ads before.
4. The minimum tier for game supporters will be raised to 5 dollars. I know, it's not a small number, but please understand this decision. First of all, from what I know, Become Alpha was the cheapest game on the market. All the other porn games, like The Company and so on, charge 5 dollars minimum. Second of, BA has the most content of all the games on the market. You can literally play it for hours and still see new stuff, and there's even more content coming.
5. I completely remove Regular Fap Mode - no one was using it anyway.
6. Unlimited Fap Mode is now just "Fap Mode". It removes the ads, makes yields bigger, and does all the other things both Regular and Unlimited modes did. BUT it won't give player access to Early Access stuff, which now will be reserved only for SubscribeStar supporters.
7. As said, Early Access stuff will be only accessible for SubscribeStar supporters only. People with Fap Mode only won't be able to access it.
8. I'm gonna send out an email to everyone who supported the project so far and ask for their support now. Hopefully, at least some of those people, will decide to help.

So what I'm basically saying is...
I definitely want to continue the game development, and I hope that if I do all those things from the list above I will be able to at least partially remedy the situation. What's important is that I cannot do this without you and your support. I understand that situation is hard for everyone, but, well, it's basically a question whether you want me to continue my perverted crusade or not.

What else will be in the new release
Originally my main goal was to do Corgis quest. But I still haven't finished it when the Patreon did what they did, so it has to wait a bit more (but it's really close to finishing).

BUT! Don't worry, there's a lot of other new content and changes. In this version, if you do something illegal (buy drugs, have drugs on you when they randomly search you, or hire a prostitute) there's a risk of getting caught by the police. There are some possibilities to negotiate with them (either hetero or gay content), or they might arrest you and take to Police Station. There there's some events that might happen, including both hetero and gay prison sex I think it turned out quite cool, I'm kinda happy with it.

Additionally to the above, I've made a lot of changes in the sex mechanics and reworked a lot of other things to make the sex better. What will happen now, that the sex will be harder at the beginning, but you will get bonuses from the number of stars in each sex position, so that it makes sense to gain experience in them.

So, that's all for now. Thanks.

I kinda like that idea. I can't really subscribe or support. so at least i can do is watching some ads.

Hello, I have one question. Is there some femdom now or is it still exclusively maledom?

 

[MantisMVS]

So I actually think adding ads is a brilliant idea for this game to be supported, but the bottom banner ad shows a "NOT FOUND" message and completely blocks the buttons on the bottom of the screen on mobile. So once the ad shows up there, you can no longer progress. This is at least the case on the mobile, online version.

 

[grave_merc]

Dudes, I know there's a lot of problems with police station - I'm already fixing them, and the bugfix will be in couple hours!!!

You could add a crypto wallet if you have one, in that case maybe I could send you some

Thanks dude, I actually went with your advice and added crypto option. If someone could send me at least 0,01$ it would be awesome, because I need to check if I haven't fuck it up.

I kinda like that idea. I can't really subscribe or support. so at least i can do is watching some ads.

Thanks man!

Hello, I have one question. Is there some femdom now or is it still exclusively maledom?

I think there's plenty to be honest, the whole Alexa thread is kinda femdom, there's parts of it in Daphne's thread, and now in police station there's even more events like that. But have in mind that my game doesn't really do the fetishes exactly, I'm more fucking around with them.

Can you post a screenshot?

Sigh. I just can't get into the game. RNG and no back button just make the game unplayable.

A shame since I actually like the writing.

Changelog:
1. Fix for players getting stuck in the jail
This was a stupid typo, sorry. This shouldn't happen anymore. When you load your save game you should get unstuck.
2. Fix for killing time in jail.
There was an error that appeared during killing time, which made the game stuck - it's gone now.
3. Sex mechanic fixed.
There was an error that caused player to not get any yields - that's fixed.
4. I've changed the sex experience a bit more
In the last update it was that 1 star was not giving you nothing, and three stars were giving you two things. Now each star gives you one thing. Here's a breakdown:

• 1 star will give you ability to repeat this sex position many times in a row.
• 2 stars will give you additional Vigour while using this position.
• 3 stars will give your sex partner more Orgasm from getting fucked with this position.

5. Added help info regarding Kamasutra.
When you expand help on sex screen, or in Kamasutra section of player's screen, you will now see a breakdown what stars do for each position.
6. Missing bottom ad.
The bottom ad should now appear correctly. I know there was another bug, with bottom ad covering the buttons, but I wasn't able to replicate it - need screenshots with info about browser and system.
7. Fixed exams missing stars rating.
You are now able to see what rating you have right after the exam.
8. Fixed exams results
There was a bug that caused the exams to be easier. Now they are slightly harder to pass.
9. Fixed a script that handles expandable content
So there was a problem with the expandable divs, that when there was another expandable div in a expandable div, it got fucked. It should work now.
10. Missing videos
Missing vids for hookers fixed.
Missing vids for Cult Leaders in looking for trouble activity fixed.
11. Cumming in the sleep
When you have a random encounter with Daphne during your sleep, the "Cummed" effect will now properly show up after the event ends.
12. Shitload of mobile fixes
Quest button will now display properly.
Weekly tables will now be wider on mobile, and the text will be smaller.
Notifications will now be wider.
During levelling up, when player learns a new sex position, the info about sex position yields will now be wider.
Top bar with stats will now have smaller text to (hopefully) fit on the screen.
List of locations to visit in current location should now be at least 2 columns wide.
Info about what player learned during studying was too narrow, and the text was misaligned - this is now fixed.

That's strange, I've activated the back button some time ago, you should be able to see it. Can you tell me what browser/system are you using to play?

 

[DonTirri]

That's strange, I've activated the back button some time ago, you should be able to see it. Can you tell me what browser/system are you using to play?

The Back button disappears after a single use, basically making it pointless when there is RNG involved.
Windows 10 OS, tested with Chrome, Firefox and Opera, both by using the online version and the downloaded one.

I mean, I get it. RNG is part of the game. I just personally can't be arsed to have statgains be thrown away by RNG. So a system with random chance and no backbutton just isn't my cup of tea.

 

[Dimka2010]

Loaded my 0.3.14 save on online site with present 0.3.16 version of the game. I already posted it save earlie.
1) Still no solution with "Karma is the bitch" quest when you are already opened her.
maybe need to restart this quest for all if it not start, but she is already opened?
2) Can you place images of girls in House location (if here someone in - Daphna or Alexa) like in another location you are did?
3) Here is no picture inside Amia bio.

 

[MantisMVS]

Here's screenshots with the page scrolled down as far as possible. The ad makes the "Next" button inaccessible. This is on Chrome for Android.

The button next is closed. I am stuck. Android. Version 3.16.

Hey man, I will take a look at this back button, with so many bugs there's no point in limiting it.

Ad. 1 Forgot about it, will take a look. Thanks for the save.
Ad. 2 You mean to add avatars on the house if you're in the Neighbourhood? This is kinda hard to do. I have it on my list, but it won't happen soon.
Ad. 3 Very strange, will take a look, thanks.

v. 0.3.17 Hotfix, coldfix, and mobilefix
Second attempt at fixing the problems that 0.3.15 created. I think the ads should finally be ok. I've also fixed some other stuff, and did shitload of mobile adjusting. I've slept 5 hours in last 3 days, please tell me the game is finally working fine.....

Changelog:
1. Buttons under ads fixed
This was a tricky motherfucker, but I think I fixed it finally. The buttons should not fall under the ads. Hopefully.
2. Sunglasses fix for Higher Power quest
So as it turns out players were getting stuck buying sunglasses for the Higher Power quest. I completely forgot about this bug, but someone on F95 reminded me about it - thanks. It should be now fixed.
3. Fixes for College characters
There was a bug that might have prohibit players to meet Nina, Bridgette and Karma. This should be fixed now (though Bridgette is still Early Access).
4. Muggers and whores loot size changed
So in the park when you got mugged or beaten up, you're losing some cash. In previous versions it was always 1000 bucks, but I thought it's way too much for a starting player. So now the amounts will be different depending on your level, and on some randomity too.
5. The notifications about effects will be yellow
Basically not every effect is good, so seeing a green label when you got an effect might have been slightly confusing. It should be better now.
6. Alexa and Daphne sleeping events less frequent
When player goes to sleep there was a very high chance that he'll have a random event with Alexa or Daphne. I've made those events less frequent, because it was annoying.
7. Handworks kink image fixed
You might have noticed that if a character had a handworks kink, it wasn't displaying the image properly. It's now fixed.
8. Activity buttons getting stuck in disabled mode
This shouldn't happen anymore.
9. Fixed cash in weekly stats
I dunno what I was thinking, but the weekly stats were actually displaying some strange stuff about player's cash. It should work now.
10. Mobile UI fixes
The icons on relation buttons (chat, sex, flirt) were completely fucked on mobile. They should now display properly.
Terms screen buttons fixed to fit on smaller screens.
Table in the sex screen should now work and display better.
Table in the player screen should now adjust better to the screen size.
Fixed layout and font size issues on weekly stats.
Changes in the popups - they will now fill the screen on mobile.
Changes in the saves screen to better fit on smaller screens.
Visual updates in top bar and location header for mobile.
Big texts in the content of the story will now have bigger letter spacing on mobile for readability.
Visual fixes for exams (memory mini game) on mobile.
Visual fixes for studying.
Visual fixes for Supporters Get panel on mobile.

Thanks,
Grave

I get the dev had a lot of his income dry up from the move away from Patreon and with Subscribestar alone wasn't enough and the banner ads were to help with the cost which isn't too bad annoying but not enough to stop playing. However the in game ad ESPECIALLY killed the game for me instantly. Seeing a butthole stretched with a clear plug from a girl not part of the cast was a real record scratch moment.

I'll buy a fapmode code later when there's enough new content and I don't want to swim through the sea of ads but I'll put this on a yearly 'check and see' instead of jumping on each update.

 

[Dimka2010]

1) The Quest "Karma is a bitch" started ok.
2) The idea for you - maybe you will be change color for this effects? (Screenshot 1)
Red - for negative, Green for positive, Present color will stay for permanent or non-giving effects like first on screen?
3) Need to expand this Menu and to do it more helpfull. Look. ((Screenshot 2)
Right now - it just a reminder that here was some quests. But.. no clues about if here will be new quests or are the new not found quests be present inside the game.
What i ask from you - can you to do the list of "not founded" quests too? It will help for players recognize and be know - is here any avaible quests for Player or not? Right now - Noone know.
And it will be helpfull too - if you will write the conditions for starting avaible quests too.
4) The same i will ask to do for Avaible activities.
If i didnt read the changelog - i I wouldn't have known about many specific activities like - came in Thursday (only in EVENING) in Church and you can find some new activities.. Damn, man... It need to be Professor Qavier to know and to find this activities..
So.. many many of you work are hidden and present behind the regular player.
think about friendly menu and help players to find your work and hidden stuff too. The future - Thanks! - for you for that
5) Another one. Need to explain about not full star (not filled to the end)- what it means and need info about the low down the progrees when Star not full (Screenshot 3)

 

[Dimka2010]

Another idea. Look at this example of Daphne.
Now her sex satisfaction is 5\10. On start!
So it's very hard to use sex positions from the Kama Sutra, because her orgasm is near (from start!).
If her initial maximum satisfaction was not 10, but 15, then.. When a new and beginner Player would have the opportunity to have sex with her, he would have used different poses many times, but still would not be able to satisfy her. 15 figure would be great for starting Players with a small number of open poses from the Kama Sutra, especially if they are less than 1 star and those poses cannot be repeatable for beginner Player.
And then the mechanic comes to the rescue - Desire. If the level of Desire is 0, then her maximum sex satisfaction is 15. If level of Daphne Desire become 1 her maximum sex satisfaction is 14, If 2 then 13, 3-12, 4-11, 5-10. That is, the player benefits and needs to pump her desire, so that it is easier to achieve orgasm with her with fewer open poses.
Think about it too, please.

Hey man, sorry to hear it. I have a struggle with those ads too to be honest. The profit from them is basically none. On a good day it's 2 bucks, on a bad day it's pennies. I need to think what to do. The problem is though - 50% of the ad profit is generated through this in-game ad that you hate so much. It's basically my best ad

Ad. 1 Good to hear.
Ad. 2 I'll do that some time in the future.
Ad. 3 The walkthroughs are on my Discord. I'll add them in game too.
Ad. 4 Good point. I need to think about this...

Think about it too, please.

Hey man, thanks for another good feedback - very appreciated.
It's already like that. The default orgasm stat is 2 I think, but you get bonuses for different things, so you ended up on 5. Maybe I'll remove some of those bonuses, to keep it as low as possible? Because, if I raise the cap to 15, going from 2 to 15 might be too hard for the new player I think.
