Others Borrowed Lives [v1.0.2] [Corvienne]

[Alfred Nonamous Esq. LXIX]

Any chance there will be an Android version? Looks interesting and the premise and mechanics seem cool, might see if I can play browser on my phone but usually my browser will auto clear stuff so a more permanent mobile version would be cool. I understand if that's not a priority right now though.

I also am unable to complete the quest to buy groceries for the mom. Every time I buy them, it marks off that I got them in the quest marker, then once I click something else it unmarks it, if I try to give them to characters mom, there is no option cause I says i still need to buy them.

I intend to release for specific platforms like Android and Linux soon, but I have to figure out how to build the game to do so. Hopefully it'll be a thing before v1.1.

Just making sure you're aware, and not sure if its intended, or just not implemented, but when you customize your own character you can not adjust penis size or testicle size, or where testicles sit which im assuming is a thing based on character description.

If you mean testicle size and hang, its something I overlooked for the menu - I will implement a fix soon, thank you!

Is there a reason why I can't wear items such as stockings under clothes like dresses? What kind of sense is that?

Its probably an edge case I haven't addressed in this patch. Thank you for playing!

Im soft locked in the inn, hooked up with someone, removed boxers and pants, now I can't leave cause it says i'm not wearing enough clothes. I check my inventory it says my boxers and pants are equipped and I have no location where I can change.

 

[thesoppy]

no matter who i try and hook up with, the npc always turns into a guy named Garron the moment the sex actions start? sad cause this looks promising.

 

[Mikipoo]

I always get a woman named Adeleide or somesuch.

 

[TheMayflower]

Is there a reason when engaging in sex with any woman halric appears instead?

Starting a new game -> self examination:
The options are:
1 - check for injuries = level up medicine, herbalism and alchemy
2 - test your physical strength = level up farming, fishing and husbandry
Is it a bug that i can only choose either one but not both?
I think either options leads to: You completed: Examine yourself in your bedroom - thus you can only choose 1 of the 2 before the quest is consider completed and moved on. (I just check out the academy origin, and the case is clearly to pick 1 out of 3 options for skill up. For the case of the farmer origin the option you can only pick one isnt obvious.)

After clicking begin peasant life, Fear and confusion dialogue appears -> The vision -> reaching out->understanding -> click begin peasant life again and story moves onward.
After that i get the grocery quest leaves the house for the 1st time and into the yard and an event call "Getting to know each other" triggers and this can lead to "Intimate moments"... and i didnt even know this NPC... if i roll back, and exit the house again, this event disappeared and i enter the yard.

If I check my relationships tab, i see my family members as usual, but at the bottom last line, it says:
She has a small birthmark on her arms, a medium birthmark on her chest, and a large birthmark on her legs. She has a jagged scar on her face.

You are completely naked, with no clothing covering your body. You feel very uncomfortable being so exposed.
The line that says i am naked is shown on all 4 family members tab, but i am fully clothed...

This is a really interesting game - I'm surprised there are so many systems and breadth given how early into development it is. I kinda wish there was more focus, though - I can't swim in a puddle, no matter how wide it is. I am curious if any generative code/vibe coding tools were used in the creation of this, or if it's simply something the developer worked on for a long time before initial release.

 

[Sum Gi]

I feel in it's current state that the game is "overwritten."

Not badly written, but too specific. Character creation promises considerable freedom, but the writing reflects a narrower, more predefined person with their own thoughts, feelings, etc. This creates a disconnect if the pc starts thinking or feelings things that don't align with the player's vision.

Like if I rush into a sex scene to see what they're like and it ends telling me we shared something meaningful and fit together perfectly both physically and mentally and meanwhile I'm in the middle of roleplaying a distant personality who views this NPC as a faceless human dildo, well there's a disconnect.

In a typical linear VN it would be fine, but I think for a sandbox game like this a flatter, more neutral style is better, one that leaves the character's internal world up to the player. Get good at this and it can be faster and easier to write as well. By ALL means simulate and describe what NPCs are feeling, but leave the player's thoughts up to them.

That's just my outlook curious too see what others think.

I'm hesitant to dip my toes in this because while a fantasy life sim is right up my alley, life sims in general have a very fine line for me between immersive and tedious plus bogged down in the mundane. People who've played a bunch, how much and how quickly can you get into things like adventuring and action, and how much are you stuck doing mundane tasks before/besides all the exciting parts of a fantasy story?

Same problem but mine is Luthas

 

[foushadou]

Looks cool ! Are you planning on adding pictures in-game ?

 

[Puralto]

Haven't tried it yet, but the UI is looking extremely well made.

 

[Anjimito]

The game has LOTS of potential and is already a joy to play, hope you stick with it! I enjoy the UI, it's informative and the options available are (positively) staggering!

I have encountered two bugs so far, one is a small one, where I as male interact with other males the choices available are using female pronouns, the second one is a bit more serious that is I can't seem to be able to return to the academy after visiting the city.

Anyway, thank you for making this game, I'm very excited to see what the future brings for this project.

Edit: I'm also super stoked for fantasy races. Will those be just your typical fantasy orcs, dwarves and elves or will there be like minotaurs and werevolves as well?

I've worked on it for a long time - my main focus was systems and data rather than content, but there will be more to dive into as time goes on!

 

[NolanDaneworth]

Im a bit discombobulated about origins availability.
So far i only see 3 available. Farm, thief, academy.
Are new origins become available only with new patches or something ? Because in 1.0.1 only Farm and Thief were available.

 

[Yuie32]

how do I unlock penetrative sex? My character has no option to get fucked, also is there a way to find the npc that I have a relationship with?
