It was only after playing it that I learned from some comment on here about the dev's original plans for the ("real life") MC to be struggling with body dysmorphia and finding an outlet through the game to realising they were trans (or something like that, anyway, fuzzy on the details).

I didn't know any of that when playing this the first time, which meant a lot of what happened to the MC didn't really land. As a player, I'm trying to help the MC get back to his own reality and reclaim his own body, but in the original pitch that body was never the right one for them, so I'm more or less playing against the dev's intentions.

There are a lot of MtF transformation games that have those elements in them. Either I didn't notice them before or it's a relatively newer phenomena. I personally find the inclusion of storylines involving therapists and the like to sour an otherwise entertaining gender bender story. Those sorts of elements make the game feel less like smut produced for the consumer's enjoyment and more like a theraputic outlet for the author.

Like, I get that it's a big part of transitioning in real-life, but I don't think a show like Ranma 1/2 would have been as successful as it was if the protagonist had to speak with their therapist at the end of every episode.

i really don't understand anything in this game or even it's updates...

Is understanding necessary? Just play make choices and see what happens. It's more of a interactive story then a game.

Anyway to avoid the femboy (Leigh) getting railed descriptions? It's pretty much a deal breaker for me and I selected the options for content warnings and guides but didn't see any way to avoid it. The only choices available all seem to end up reading about him getting stuffed.

I don't think I saw any of that, but then again I had the MC ditch him when given the opportunity.

OMG this game is GREAT! Some of Wejit's dialogue had me howling with laughter. Such a delightful romp, and exactly what I needed right now.

 

[BroProHelpas]

how to unlock Roopah public fuck replay?(nvm,I get that there's no futa version of this scene)

Less entertaining, certainly. But by God those people could have done with some therapy.

 

[NukaCola]

So based on the changelog. Most of the new stuff in this update is about femboy? There are no new common sense content?

 

[LonerPrime]

Yeap. But considering the game is in the final development phase, expect your favorite content in the next few patches soon?

David Lynch asked his therapist about possible impacts on his creativity, and declined further therapy... Tfgs and hypnopics-collective basically carried adult gaming for a decade with all their wierd issues/fetishes*, say what you will about 'programmer-socks' but they do seems to provide a significant productivity boost**

*not claiming they're any wierder than mine, freak recognizes freak
**or it's just a sideeffects of pumping autists with methamphetamines...

 

[Spatches]

I preferred the old femboy model. This one has a rat's nest pony tail that looks pretty gross. I wonder why it was changed

Edit 2: Same with the fairy spell errors when trying to load the image aswell..... cmon now

Gonna call it quits on this one.

 

[Trickstar]

is the sub route completed with endings yet?

 

[FookU2]

The twink path is LITTERED with bugs. I probably hit ignore on 50 exceptions. lol 0_O

 

[daviezwei]

I seem to have broken a lot more than I fixed in this last update and I didn't test it enough. I'm working to get a bug release out as soon as possible. That update will be public.

 

[BeccaBoo]

Hi all. A message from Davie following on from his post above:-


So I need to apologize for the state of the last release. I rushed it out and didn't test it enough because I was packing to move to a new place. Of course that's no excuse for such a shoddy update. I'm sorry about that.

I'm working on a bug-fix release (that will also contain some new content) and that release will be made public immediately. This way if you need to pause/cancel your pledge, you will still get the update with the fixes if you follow this account or stick around as a free member. The release should be in the next day or two, but no promises because I'm doing a tedious amount of testing...



Thanks for your support, friends.
Always, I appreciate you.

 

[Overlord070]

I was wondering what was going on, had to reload to a save before MC went hulk futa mode otherwise it was error after error.

Good to see the dev is on it, I imagine there is quite a bit to fix there.

 

[docjane112]

After doing a little fixing under the hood, I think most of the errors are improperly named image files which are at least easy to fix. Finding them is the real problem

 

[Cabin]

Man I am patiently waiting for an ending with roopah . Want sparkle to carry her child.

 

[LonerPrime]

And here I sit, waiting for my goblin bro who has been faithful to her cause from the beginning, to finally get lucky with Sparkle.
