Others Borrowed Lives [v1.0.2] [Corvienne]

[Shasou]

Because the invention of covering your legs while wearing something over top did not exist in these times.

That's a fair explanation for real life, you're absolutely correct. You need to take into consideration however, that this is a fantasy game where things did not progress 1 to 1 realistically. For example, magic did not exist in these times realistically either, yet here we have magic. Immortal beings did not exist either, monsters and fantastical creatures, condoms, etc.

If we were to follow realism step-by-step, this would not be the same game it is advertising to be right now, which would not necessarily appeal to people looking for fantasy elements in their games. Also people would not be so attractive either, in those times hygiene and sex appeal were not really up to par with today's standards. Let's not take away too much of the fun of a fantasy sex game, yeah?

I would absolutely love some more clothing options to choose, from stockings to cute panties and bras for my femboy character to use, maybe some cute ribbons as hair accessories? I'll take whatever the dev thinks it's best, i would love to make a character like Felix Argyle from Re-Zero : D

I am joking. Though, pantyhose and stockings were a thing for the rich and if the Lord ever gets added to the game, hope it's a fat middle age men wearing high heels, pantyhose, a lot of frills like a gacha waifu from a CN game.

You need a razor, with the crafting system not working in this version the only way to get one is to buy one in the city, not the village.

No, you dont need a razor...
I hate beard so when i start the game and found myself with one, I go back to settings to check if i missed the option for not having a full beard, but there isnt one.
Later i discovered the washroom and the grooming option to shave... any parts of the body hair. I can do this at day 1 at the start of the game without a razor.

One suggestion for the UI:
Make the inventory clickable so you can close it when you dont need it, makes the UI more tidy.
Maybe also create a tab so you can check the relationship of other known NPC below the family relationship.
I just found the pawn shop in the city and is now able to profit from forage and killing animals (pelts and stuff) and wonder if negotiation skill will get me better selling prices for my loot.
Is it possible to add a haggle option when you purchase or sell items to train haggle skill or if the prices will automatically adjust accordingly to your skills?
I have seen one spider trying to seduce me during battle... but didnt dare try to find out what will happen and regret after that...
Anyone know where to buy, bug net, shovel, pickaxe and fishing rod?

Bro don't tell the jap devs about the spider, they might get extra frisky and start development on another girl-gets-fucked-by-a-bug sex game!

I swear the amount of games they make about girls getting fucked by bugs is crazy dude

 

[Sawazumin]

Just wanted to express interest for this, in the hopes even one extra person makes the dev happy.
Hot damn this is super interesting to me, even the little bit. This is the kinda stuff I would consider paying for when it gets further in. Just the depth of the character creation, the writing style, and the UI fits my aesthetic sense entirely.
Not quite at the stage for me to pledge money, but I could absolutely see myself supporting it monthly if it gets even half of what seems to be planned!

 

[AliceGameSlut]

Very interested in seeing where this goes in terms of content, the structure is very solid. I hope if the project ends up being "abandoned", the code will be open sourced for other people to continue it in a more collaborative way

 

[SoulsSurvivor]

So I simply do not have the option to examine myself in the bedroom. Does it disappear after the first few in game hours or something?

 

[Nilisa]

Can anyone tell me how to start a new game? Or is it necessary to die first somehow?

The save menu, oddly enough... There's a 'restart' option in there.

 

[Erbosch]

Fishing rod should be in the fishmongers store... not sure about the others maybe crafted?
Btw Cant wait for More this seems like a great frame work had so much fun playing yesterday.. my quick "check it out" playthru ... was about 4hours later THANK YOU corvienneetalle

Thanks, I found pickaxe for sale at the mining area in the mountain mines.

Aaaaaa, that's what it is. Thanks for the answer!

If you click begin your life it appears to be lost.

 

[SoulsSurvivor]

If you click begin your life it appears to be lost.

So I'm stuck with this quest permanently stuck to my side bar unless I restart? Alright, good thing I didn't get far.

I'm glad you're enjoying the game so far! I hope you enjoy the updates to come

A lot of what's in the roadmap will take months to get to - I hope you stick around and enjoy the ride, thank you for your interest!

Maybe gnolls for extra degeneracy?

Werewolves were planned, but this sounds pretty cool too.

hey, how do I run the game app? it says it "isn't a valid win32 app" (i'm asking mostly because I would prefer to try it offline and i couldnt solve it myself at the point I think the uploaded archive is somehow corrupted)

The app does not support 32-bit.

Seems to be an issue related to stripping in sex that causes you to be locked up unable to do anything because "I can't go out dressed like this" but your pants are gone so you can't get dressed

Is there a reason why you can't wear some clothing like stockings with shoes and a dress?

Seems to be an issue related to stripping in sex that causes you to be locked up unable to do anything because "I can't go out dressed like this" but your pants are gone so you can't get dressed

The population bar is bugged and will sometimes show the same person everywhere like they are following you (might be the last person you had sex with which was the case with me but it might've been a coincidence). Another bug present is that the text talks about the person of one gender ("You feel slightly closer to the young woman") but when you initiate sex, the person of the opposite gender is participating.

As for constructive feedback and suggestions, firstly I think that the sex minigame is really unintuitive. You have to scroll down to perform some actions, and you must click on them repeatedly if you want the character to repeat them. However, the results of the actions and text are displayed in the bubble at the top, so you must constantly scroll up and down. Another thing that doesn't make sense is when you click on strangers in the population bar, the descriptions are really brief and they don't tell us enough but also tell us information that we probably couldn't know right away like their gait and their voice and their accent. It would make sense that we could tell their breast and hip size, unless they are wearing something that conceals them. The system of getting more details of their looks through conversation and interacting also doesn't make sense because we shouldn't know the details about their genitalia just from talking to them at the bar.

As for quick suggestions, they are mostly tied to talking with NPCs. When you talk to family members, you always ask the same questions and get the same answers. After the first time, all the questions could be put into "Small talk with Mother" which gives 5 relationship points instead of clicking "1" 5 times. It would avoid more repetition than necessary. Another addition could be when talking to strangers where there should be options for you to introduce yourself and ask for their name instead of having to hover over the population bar to see their name. Also, you should probably change the generic "You feel slightly closer to the young woman/man" to "You feel slightly closer to character name".

I have an issue in the character creation where I click on the box to type something in, but I can't type in anything.

Thank you all for reporting the bugs! It should be in the next patch release. For anyones reference - its quicker (and easier for me) if bugs and suggestions are placed in the Discord.

Other points:
- Haggling is planned for v1.1, which has a focus on economy and races
- If a name is not being displayed when interacting with someone, it's because your relationship wasn't high enough to unlock it, so it'll display generically

I have an issue in the character creation where I click on the box to type something in, but I can't type in anything.

This issue happens sometime. When it happened, I write the name in other places like ms word or txt and then use copy and paste on the box.
One time, after i copy and paste the first name, the last name can be typed.

 

[Nilisa]

Question. I'm taking a task on the bulletin board. Help to work in the field. I worked in the field, it says that the task is completed and I will be teleported back to the task board. But they don't give me a reward (money). Should I tell someone that I completed the task or is it a bug?

 

[v-e-r-i-t-y]

I also have the same issue with completing noticeboard quests and not getting paid just teleported. I figured out how to harvest. Had to select the crop and press Tab.
