HTML Fresh Starts [v0.7.3a] [LordOfChange]

[LordOfChangeGames]

Exactly! A lot of events also can lower it (first time doing certain things notably)

I ran into an inconsistency with the story arc such as it is and the new Kara training content. MC starts as a crossdresser profile and chooses sewing for the college curriculum. Because of the money requirements for all that, I had mc get into camgirl mode as soon as possible and got her up and running before sept was up.

Kara's training arc didn't activate for me until sometime in oct after mc was already crossdressing in public, shaving everywhere, wearing makeup, etc. So Kara is instructing an already transformed camgirl on how to wear panties and shave

Yeah,.. the Game isn't very friendly that way. (I am playing the "crossdresser" also.)
*In my case, My MC was doing the 'dancing courses', trying to get Him/Her to work as a stripper.
My MC was already Crossdressing by time of Kara's offer,... I just made sure that I dressed as required during
the Bar 'meets'.
(In Your case, and I am only guessing, Is That Your MC didn't 'visit the Bar' very often, so the "girl's" quest was slower.)
*especially If You Only Visited Once a week (Fridays) - I would visit at least x2 a week (or as a time filler vs a 'Nap')

I am Curious though,.. How did you Do THAT?? It took me awhile to be able to afford the Laptop & webcam, but I STILL cannot use webcam (game does not acknowledge I have it)

At This point, I have reached "End of Content" for both College, and Kara's route.
(but As I reached EoC for College first; I kinda stopped there as I do not want to re-play again)

 

[phupdup]

The trick is to not buy anything until necessary. Because I set up for the sewing route this playthrough, I didn't even have to buy a gym pass and sport clothes. With your dancing route, I assume you did that to get into shape and thus were already behind me by about $500 right from the getgo. MC stays in his t-shirt and jeans with only Crystal's panties for the entire time right up until I was ready for cam girl. He only goes to the sex shop for the basic dildo to train oral and anal. Get the laptop when you can afford it.

You can try to work two 8 hour shifts at the gas station on days you don't have class. When the 4 hour shifts become available, the two shift method becomes easier. The sewing class is at 13:00 so I was stuck with a single 8 hour shift after getting back and going to sleep after midnight. Instead of a morning 4 hour shift, mc had to go to the library before class to study for 3 hours in order to get the grades up. Your dance route has class at 16:00, so you're probably only able to work a 4 hour shift after getting back and using the morning and afternoon for the gym and library work.

Don't pay any tuition until after you are pulling in good money from camgirl. You won't see the stream button until your dignity drops to below 90. Blow and swallow during the gas station ladies room cleaning drops it a couple. The dev does need to nerf the rng for this encounter more because it doesn't come up enough to soley rely on it for dignity drop. "Pay"ing the scumbag landlord when you have less than $200 on Sunday drops it (but I didn't have to do this). Using the laptop to surf porn with "extreme" checked drops it. The maid jobs on the fake Craigs list drop it, but those are probably a Catch-22, require sissy high enough to wear chastity and raise your submissiveness.

Looking at the code, your dance route needs dignity below 70 to have the stripper job option. The dev should probably nerf this up and possibly tie it to a check on the dance track and a looming debt balance on tuition as Nov 1st approaches.

So yeah, mc didn't get to the bar often...

Yeah, consistency is an issue that will be fixed soon, my priority for the year was to add pretty much all of the QoL and the training events. The plans for the October dev cycle will be to add consistency fixes and the likes to the game, even with even earlier events (i.e. being in chastity during the first event). I do also intend on adding a way to skip training if you are fairly advanced in crossdressing by the time the quests start as it is really intended for new players to learn about most customisation mecanics and how to crossdress in a convincing manner, but in a more narrative style instead of a lame wiki post.

Pretty interesting points, I'll just correct a couple of points in your reply as they could be misleading (and also just give some additional details. The dancing class doesn't require the player to go to the Gym at all, albeit you can still do it. The streaming starts way lower than 90 dignity too (I think it's 80, but don't mark my words on this). Lastly there is no RNG on the first gloryhole event what so ever so I don't know what nerf I could possibly do there.

 

[phupdup]

Actually the stream button is here:

if $KamRegistered is 1 and $dignity lte 95>><<button "Stream">><<goto "KamStreamMenu">><</button

So we were both wrong. It's at 95!

This is a good thing, but maybe you might want to use a mask mechanic like what My Destiny (aka Blowing Wind) does. MC won't want to show his face (and also must use VPN) at this level and then maybe go the full Monty at lower levels.

While looking through the various dignity checks, there appears to be a Glory Hole location different from the gas station? I didn't throw this version into Twine this release, but I remember "orphan" passages in a previous version. Is this Glory Hole thing one of those not quite ready for prime time things?

This release, the gas station gloryhole event went from a one time deal to something which appears to be random. I've gotten it several times now but it's still uncommon. I could see mc developing a taste for it so to speak and then volunteering to clean the woman's bathroom on a regular basis, especially when they start coming to work crossdressed.

Some comments about the sewing route now that I've gotten past the final lectures. The level of entry is way too high and the profitability is questionable if not outright a losing proprosition.

MC is saddled with a $3250 semester tuition. They then need what is basically another $1000 to get set up with a sewing machine, patterns, thread and materials at the store in the mall. Then they get home to try to start sewing and find out that they lack the skills to sew anything. It isn't until almost at the midterm week with a skill level around 100 or so that they can start sewing just basic gloves.

Once they are able to craft anything, it appears they can't wear the fruits of their labor. They can't even sell it anywhere short of creating it to fulfill a job request. The problem with the job requests is that they don't take into account the mc's skill level. As an example, my playthrough's first job request that I could attempt to accept was for two pair of long latex gloves and 2 or three latex dresses that had a deadline of 4 days. This, in spite of the fact, that while I was at the point that mc could craft the gloves, they lacked the skill for the dresses. They were still able to only craft up to a jean skirt.

The payoff for this work was something like $550, which meant at least a days work for the gloves and an unknown time for the dresses since they hadn't unlocked yet. By comparison, mc was at over 500 followers at this point as a camgirl and was pulling in well over $1000 for a few hours of work. It's unclear how much material is needed for each item, because that's not listed anywhere. So MC buys one of each, gets home, and finds out they need a lot more. Like those buy x 10 links more. So he's shelling out several hundred bucks for material, spending 4 days or so of labor and MAYBE making a few bucks if he meets the deadline.

So IF MC bought Laptop & webcam He Can Stream, IF his dignity Is Low enough,.. If MC bought Laptop but No webcam or His dignity isn't low enough He/She cannot Stream??
NO. I did not NEED to join Gym because of Dancing, Kara kind of suggested it during quest.
But, As Long as MC Actively AVOIDS eating "junk"/fast food, He Should Be fine.

I had No Problems with the Gloryhole scenes, (MAYBE it did not pop-up as often as I would have liked) but it popped up more as My dignity dropped ?? (Now It Is an OPEN Option at work, but I do not get Many 'clients' maybe even less now)

As a side note/Question Are Players playing Any of the OTHER Scenarios (rich kid, Nerd, Jock)??
It seems that the Crossdresser Is the Most Played or Most popular.

I Have another Question,... There are 2 Strip clubs in Red-Light District One Female One Male. (was the Male Club suppose to be a Work option??)

 

[phupdup]

I'm not even sure if anything more than the laptop is needed at the moment. The button check code I showed above is only looking for a dignity less than or equal to 95. It kind of makes sense since I haven't seen a laptop since probably the 1990's that didn't have that little camera circle on top of the lid. The passage for that stream button is elsewhere, and I didn't check to see if the addition of the webcam and mic influenced your following, follower growth and resulting paycheck.

I don't know which club (both?) give you option to work as a stripper. It is gated behind a dignity check which I think is around 70. That's also probably around where you start seeing alternatives for action when walking the dimly lit alley.

The dance classes probably should count as a fitness workout, but I didn't look to see if that's the case. I'm pretty sure it counts along with dance skill on the stripper job and should probably count on the grades you get in the class.

Wait a minute,..What do you mean?? On the Rare occasion That I did not have enough $$$ to pay Rent The Landlord just charged MC $450 (so MC also loses dignity pts??)

Actually working was TIGHT. I had to remove 'eating'(20-30 mins) from Morning Routine to get to work 7:10 MWF, work 8hrs
off at 3:10 (15:10) 50 mn Travel time arrive @ 1600.
YES. Quite often MC would work Double shifts or 8hr and a 4hr shift.

the Gloryhole affects More than Just dignity drop; also Oral skill increase, right?

SO IF You Cannot Stream for whatever reason, The Stream button will Not Appear.

YES. I Do Enjoy playing this Game. It Is kinda Fun,... but Not exactly Happy about Playing it "BLIND" without some direction.
I have played & replayed several times, getting better; working out 'bad/unnecessary' options (streamlining)

 

[phupdup]

I never let the scumbag do the mc, but did see the diginity drops in the code for not having the rent to pay. I just assumed the rent was paid for services rendered and didn't pile up.

The sewing job is meant to be choosing the contracts according to what you can do at first, but once you get set up, you can make very high amounts of money. That was also the goal with streaming, but it still need some tweaking it seems. There will be a new computer app that you will be able to buy which will essentially be sewing documentation and a bit of a rebalance of the offers to offer the starter contracts more often.

The favorite in the TFGS/Discord community seems to be the Rich Kid because of the laptop start, but since the nerf I gave it (dignity loss debuff), the crossdresser as regained some popularity. Both strip clubs are work options, but you need to lower dignity to unlock the option and the Blue Moon got very strict requirements to get the job.

It's actually that when you have a high enough sissification store and you are wearing a bra and panties (or lingerie) you can perform some "services" to the landlord and thus get lower rent upon completion, doing those the first time around lowers your dignity.


The gloryhole affects the skills of whatever you are performing, yes.

Exactly

 

[Shelscott50]

I never let the scumbag do the mc, but did see the diginity drops in the code for not having the rent to pay. I just assumed the rent was paid for services rendered and didn't pile up.

Eww! I Never saw that. like I said, He, "Scumbag Landlord" Only demanded $450.
Although, I did propose SOMETHING like That when the MC Did not have the $$$ to pay Rent.

What Is all this coding that you talk about? Can I see it?

How high for Sissification? (I am currently at 33/100) And When does this happen Sun morn when Landord comes?

I am guessing one of requirements are Boobs!!

No boobs required but you need to own panties+bra or lingerie. You also need to have 80 dignity or less and 20 sissification or more for the event to trigger.

 

[mininator1]

Will there be some cuckolding?

The code is in the html file itself. You can throw it into a text editor directly and start looking around. It can be quite intimidating to people who aren't software developers when you do it like this because it is actually output generated from an environment called

You must be registered to see the links

Twine is open source licensed and free to download from that site. There are three story formats that it supports, but the vast majority of VN's you will encounter using it (including Fresh Starts) use SugarCube. So you can download the latest version there for your platform and it will come with the latest version of SugarCube as one of the supported formats. That will give you a gui that you can use and then import the Fresh Starts html file into it. Now you can look at the individual passages in the gui with all of the "escaped" characters like you see in that code block in my post above "unescaped" back to something more easily readable.

The gui is okay, but it will have its drawbacks like a decent advanced search. So you are trading the ability to look at everything at once in a text editor for a visual flow chart of a collection of passages that is the story.

I am Still having trouble Dropping/lowering My Dignity!! Right now, Best I can do is 93/100.
I have bought girl clothes(blouse/skirt/legging/bra & panties), sm dildo to use Oral & anal.
I have not bought Laptop/webcam/VPN, and have not dressed as girl in public.

I have an idea/suggetion. Why not add a 2nd Gloryhole at the College (either in Restroom or Gym dressing/shower)
-say MC arrives at college early needs to kill some time. During "his/her" walk around campus "he/she" finds the GH.
-1pt for watching someone at GH; -1pt for using GH.

Thank you for explaining this. I think that I will Pass. sounds complicating, and as you said I am not a software Dev.
(I have thought about Dev'ing my Own game a few times; I have some ideas/storylines)
I was told once that YouTube has some tutorials on How to do this; Have not got around to it yet.
