HTML Become Someone [v1.43] [Volen]

[sanjix1]

Whose brilliant fucking idea was it to set all the teacher progression stuff exclusively on Wednesday?

That would be me. I'm sorry you don't like it. The mentality behind it was to give the player a "free" period to interact with whichever teacher you wanted to on that day. Separate of class. And I promise you, it is not all exclusively on wednesday. I took care to stagger the event locations so that natural play would have you going between interacting with them in class or during the free period rather evenly. While also giving choice a bit of importance. We strive for a degree of realism. So we structure quests in a way to make you choose. So that it isn't just a gallery of gifs that play over and over, but rather a decision. One that some times requires you to forgo or wait for another option. Just like in the real world.

I hope this explanation of the design philosophy is satisfactory. Have a terrific day.

Open 6 tab but not the game

Yea I had the same issue (for the offline link "ALL") but it opened 3 tabs (using Chrome), 1 Tab was an almost correct address to the file (ended with "/Become") and the other 2 tabs contained the last few words needed to complete the address I believe (one just had "someone/" and the other "someone.html" .

Weirdly worked fine on another browser so just copied the full file address across (from internet explorer) and got it working fine on chrome.

Thought I would post more info to help fix the issue

With all due respect, I don't just not like it, I absolutely hate it.

Why must that "free period" be limited to a single day of the week? And as far as I can tell it is exclusively on Wednesday, at least when it comes to the teachers. Mrs. Lee, Sato, Power and your mom all have what appears to be their only day-sensitive quest on that day. Even your effing grandma can only visit her daughter on Wednesdays.

That's not choice, that's a lack of it. Instead of "gifs that play over and over" you force me to click through meaningless days over and over. The only decision to make here is to streamline the process if I ever do another playthrough and find an optimal order to make that dreaded Wednesday bottleneck as painless as possible.
Come to think of it, the most likely decision is that I'll try to edit the html in notepad++.

Sorry for coming on so strong. Your game is quite entertaining for the most part but I simply cannot fathom that design choice and your explanation, while appreciated, doesn't really make me feel any better about it.

I understand and appreciate your position. And I'm sorry you are not a fan of the philosophy. But, allow me to correct you on one point. This isn't with the intention of giving the player MORE choices. I apologize if I gave that inclination with my wording. The purpose is instead meant to make the choices more MEANINGFUL. Our goal, in part, is to finish the game in a way that makes almost every major choice the player makes meaningful. We have already begun to include things of this nature. For instance, when you are introduced to Dean Graves, the teacher that escorts you to her is based on which teacher you have raised the Trust of the most.

Furthermore, with this most recent update we have created the option to skip forward days using the time app. So if it does truly bother you, you may just skip ahead each day to progress more quickly.

I'm afraid we'll have to agree to disagree on that philosophy.

How exactly is it a meaningful choice?
The teachers aren't mutually exclusive. You're not picking one over the other or sacrifcing anything other than time by putting every damn thing on Wednesday. I'm really not trying to be a dick about it. I genuinely fail to see how that adds anything worthwhile, unless you're purposely aiming for extra grind and repetition.
It's nice to be able to just skip ahead, but if I have to skip an entire week to get to the next event then I'm barely playing anymore and might as well just browse through the resources folder.

Like I mentioned, not all choices have their purpose or meaning in the game just yet.

Although, to explain this choice in its current state further, it is about personal preference. If Mrs. Sato and Ms. Powers both have quest steps available to you on wednesday, then you would most likely choose the teacher you personally prefer between the too. And then, while you work towards next wednesday, you can interact with the teacher you chose, to raise her Trust to advance her quest line. As NONE of the teachers ever have consecutive quest steps that activate on wednesdays. Then when next wednesday comes around to do the step with which ever teacher you didn't last week. Thus, staggering weeks with them in such a way where they in all likelyhood should never proc on the same wednesday again. depending on how much time you spend with each teacher.

You may not find this meaningful to you. But that does not mean there is no meaning behind the choice.

Or you could just avoid the whole Wednesday mechanic altogether and have the same effect without any of the hassle.
Players will always pick whichever pornstar and/or storyline they prefer first, that goes without saying. If you want to space it out a certain way you could simply adjust the attribute grind accordingly, that way I'd actually have something to do other than just wait.
This is probably less of an issue on a second playthrough, since players will know that leaving the teachers for last is a giant waste of time, but as a first playthrough the experience is not enjoyable.

Anyway, neither of us is likely to convince the other here, which is fine.
It's your game, you can design it however you damn please and I can just browse through the folders or do something more productive with my time.

I appreciate the replies, have a nice evening.

bug report
web version, so 6.6
90% sure enslaving cousin did NOT use up one of my slave collars. (this may be intentional, can't remember the dialogue)
Pic for Dean on Beach is slightly oversized.

bug/exploit - last wednesday quest for Sota(?) triggers anytime wednesday (up to 1300, at least), and ends at 1200. So I was able to get those last 10 interest pts from chem teacher by visiting chem lab at 12, japan at 1300, chem lab at 12, japan at 13 etc.
QOL- game hint progress on grandma/(and I think chem teacher) list "interest" mark you need to reach, but not current interest. You need to go to the other progress report to see that.
My first thought for Jade/Isabella threesome was "Who is Isabella??" But trying it reminded me fairly quickly.

oh, I don't think its a bug/exploit, but an effective way to earn "trust" with a teacher

Minor Bug: The videos of Lucy thanking you in the Library the day after the all-night study does not start automatically, but you have to right-click the video and have it show buttons, then you can play them.

If you arent already, download and use Jdownloader. I used to have this issue due to lack of sufficient memory cache, until I started using this. It's free and a Godsend

This is probably less of an issue on a second playthrough, since players will know that leaving the teachers for last is a giant waste of time, but as a first playthrough the experience is not enjoyable.

Having lost my save and started over, I can confirm that it is still annoying as hell and makes no more sense on a second playthrough: Play through to Wednesday, advance relationship X, play through another week to yet another Wednesday and advance relationship Y, and so on and on and on. At least there's now a "skip day" option, but that just means you're skipping through a week at a time to pick one new option, because God forbid you'd be able to talk to the teachers on a Tuesday or Thursday as well.

It is what it is, devs gonna dev, but no one is going to convince me it's good game design.

Why not include the download direct from the author site? With issue with Mega it fastest way to do download.

By clicking on the link "website" in dev info you get there:

and there is a download button. But I think it's slow for south america and asia.

I get what you mean, if we see more and more people asking us to change the way it works we will do it, but understand that at the moment you're only two to ask us to change that aspect. We may make a poll here and on patreon on next update concerning this matter. We always try to give the best experience to players and I think that sanjix1 (our writer) tried to oblige your guys to take the decision of which girl you want to invest your guys into. Which obviously is not seen as something good if you wanna fuck them all haha.

But don't worry we read your guys comments and always try to improve the game from them. As we say in belgium "It isn't falling on deaf ears".

So how do I enslave Jade and Carla? I enslaved literally half the family already, have high stats in everything including domination, slave collars.
But the option won't appear in the dungeon.
