(unsure if this is normal, one start my character got "spells", while all the others didn't.)

Thanks for combing through the game and finding the errors, I've gone through and fixed them all. Just to let you know though, when light's just evaporate and you get spell credit without any other effect, that's not a bug, that just means your character's experience with that color is too low. Once you hit like level 4 you'll be able to start using dancing lights for really wild effects.

Also, I'm not really sure what you meant by not getting spells at the start of the game? If you could elaborate on that, that'd be great.
EDIT: I figured out what you meant. Oh boy, going to work on figuring this out.
EDIT2: I think the crisis has been averted. Sorry about that.

Although some of the writing is kinda strange. Like the game chastises me for not wanting to be called McGeneric John Doe. Chastises me again for not wanting to immediately run off to fool around with Mrs. Wilson, but stay with Monica (thinking it might lead to some lewd stuff) claims I picked the boring non-sex route chastising me again.

At least the Mrs. Wilson one was a joke because she's the one affected by the light and then she heavily indicates she wants you to follow her. I figured since there's a back button players can just turn around if they hit a "dead end" and try something else. I'm not sure why you think you're chastised for not playing as John Doe, the game just starts that way as a conceit for players to input their own name within the context of the story, instead of it just being like "PORN GAME START ENTER NAME PLEASE". I don't know, maybe I could have made that clearer, but that was the intent anyway.

The lights thing was just a slight confusion, since a batch of the beginnings if you did get out of the car and help, lame, pink, the moment you met roomie's mom you got a passion point. So it seemed like that caused it, rather than as you said being too strong. Then later on the big green I think it is just straight goes "nope" so it seemed confusing, but again it was probably just the start messing with my perception.

I did a final play through with some stat cheats of 1k money, 1k energy and all stats 8 other than corruption, just so I wouldn't miss anything.

Only 2 other "complaints" would be the words to click are sometimes centered, while other times on the left. The phone is not a very noticeable thing/color even with "New" maybe something to make it stand out more?

I didn't read all the text thoroughly so I can't say if there are any typos, but other than what I mentioned I didn't see any other game bugs/breaks.

Like it will you do Videos or only Picture??

I've been trying to go through and find any passages that aren't playing by the rules still, so if you happen upon any again/in the future let me know and I'll try to fix them for the next release.

And yeah I was a little iffy on the phone color, that'll probably change in future releases. I just didn't want three things that are bright white at the top, so I'll mess around with a color picker until I find something that's a bit brighter. Thanks for the feedback though.

Playing it on android with chrome. Images are not loading. Any fix?

From what I've read, it has to do with how images are handled on phones. I don't have an Android so I can't test it. I tried following a guide to convert the files into an Android app, since apparently that's a workaround, but there's a file size limit for that of 50 mb, so I really don't know what I'm supposed to do and I'm not big brain enough to fix it. Sorry.

Like it will you do Videos or only Picture??

Just gifs and pictures. With all the characters and stuff, videos would make the file size insane lol.

This was really fun with quite a bit of things to play around with.

Your game is structurally a problem as you're either going to have to make all these early choices mean very little to the player, which will frustrate them, or you will have to keep track of so many variables over the course of your development that you'll give up because it will literally drive you insane.

I want to agree with the above. As I was playing I was thinking that this looks like it will spiral out of control as days grow. I think dspeed might be urging you to cut a bit back too much, but the broad point is something I hope you've considered. If you have a plan for the way the rest of the game plays out, great, but don't be afraid to cut back if necessary.

One possibility is to make clear if the others remember the scenes they have engaged in. For example, it's pretty clear that the transformations are temporary (and could become permanent, I presume toward the ends of the game), but I'm unsure if Monica and Mrs. Wilson will remember their threesome with the player (and to what degree they remember their level of lesbian interactions).

I looked at the code you have set up and that might be the overall design concept, but if so I hope the narrative clears it up.

Great work so for. It's looking like it will be a great project and I just hope it doesn't become overwhelming.

Well this was a pleasant surprise. The writing is excellent, the "gameplay" (the lights progression and scene system) is simple but very effective, and there's a surprising amount of (branching) content for a 0.001. As for the cons, even though the lights system is decent, the progression is wayyyy too fast, like you're already having sex with relatives before the day's even over, what's going to happen a week in? Also there doesn't seem to be much TF content so far which is great but who knows what's gonna happen after a few patches, not the best outlook.

Yeah, at least for the next one or two updates, the player will go through more "choke points" where there's variation in scene a, but then you're railroaded to scene b for more variation. Similar to how right now everyone always hits the restaurant or always has to choose between the pep rally or the mall, but then a bunch of very different stuff happens within there.

Funnily enough, Monica did originally reference the threesome/lesbian interactions at the pep rally, but then I had to delete it when I realized that, yeah, she wouldn't really remember it because of the alcohol and light effects. Mrs. Wilson presumably has a very hazy memory of it because she was wasted by then, so that's why she hasn't made any references to it yet. As a part of the light investigation task, there'll be a greater focus on outlining the "rules" and making them clearer to players (and myself), so hopefully that helps.

I really didn't want the first release to be empty or just getting as far as hugging your mom and then going "be sure to check out my patreon!". At least with her, and definitely with your sister and other relatives, progression will be slowed down a bit in the future. The furthest you can get with your mom is in the hotel room at night, where she's basically crying out of guilt, so there'll definitely be more awkwardness between you two in the next update if that's where you left things.

I'm not really sure what you meant with regards to transformation content? You're happy that there isn't a lot, but you're worried that there'll be more in the future? Am I reading that right?

How do you regain energy? Looking really promising btw

 

[DawnCry]

Personally while I like the concept I dislike how it is developed, first of all we basically get in contact with magic energy and we don't even know the effects it will have. The development of some scenes have been quite fast and it kind of bothered me.

Overall I would find it a lot more fun if it was more like freemode and interacting with characters with things happening in the back with time, quests and things like that. But well that's my opinnion, I personally have always believed that mind control games are more enjoyable outside a linear storyline and being able to use your powers when you want.

A few tags that I missed based on the game description would be maledom, femdom and perhaps NTR, the last one because I don't know what to think about the description and not being the only one with magic powers. Do I take it as other characters being rivals? or perhaps they will be friendly? and what about guys disrespecting the MC?. I may think too much.

How do you regain energy? Looking really promising btw

There are a few times where going on a walk, if you have fitness > 5, restores a bit of energy, otherwise you can purchase some novelty items from the gift shop if you went with your mom to increase the max/current energy. Each day your energy will get refilled to its max and in the next update you'll have a chance to visit the gift shop, either again or for the first time ever, and purchase anything still there. Plus as you level up different lights, that light's energy cost will decrease, making it possible to more easily cast spells throughout the day without having to rest.

Looks great so far, really hope you keep going with it.

Having it divided lets the author publish image pack updates and/or a HTML file. That's a lot better than downloading all of the same stuff every time there's an update.

the HTP file is less than 1MB
and the file "image.rar" .. got alot of those in my download folder...
i download first & play later when im done with whats in my "hand" xD

I did add an upload for both files combined on the main page, so you won't have to worry about that moving forward .

 

[gfdsf565]

Great start. Looking forward to more content.

 

[Vypress]

Guessing you plan on uploading this to TFGamesSite given I feel it would fit really well there.

 

[Deleted member 528]

wow, activated the cheats to try the game out and im really impressed! Great writing and awesome gifs = winning combo!

 

[m1ners]

on svs VERSION 0.001B it's a fake?

I'm not sure what you mean, but I updated the files today with bug fixes so the newest version right now would say 0.001b, yes.

Guessing you plan on uploading this to TFGamesSite given I feel it would fit really well there.

I haven't looked at that yet, but I'll give it a shot tomorrow and see what the process is. Thanks.

 

[Leithreas]

Being in the beginning of making my own (not too dissimilar) game, I'm jealous of how pretty your whole UI is mate. Great work.

How do i make her my mom? i type in "She's my mother/mom" instead of "mother's friend" but it still calls her Ms.Maywood
