HTML Onhold In Her Own Hands [v0.7.0] [Surprise & Delight Media]

[7767]

Overview:
I could never have imagined the life that I have now. I live each day with no regrets, but that wasn’t always the case.

I was always the "good girl" who did everything perfectly. I colored inside the lines and never knew what I was missing. When I caught my boyfriend cheating with my best friend, I decided enough was enough. I left college and moved to the city, taking my life in my own hands. Now each day is an adventure, especially for someone as inexperienced at...well, everything...as I happen to be. Moving in with two hot guys started me down a path of temptation, and I'm only looking forward from here. I can't wait to share all my experiences with you.

Moved to games , changed some links . To the Suprise and Delight Team welcome and Good Luck on your project​

 

[Leycer21]

Any lesbian content or would be in the future?

 

[Crell]

Fuck yeah, no rape bullshit. But what about prostitution (consensual) and pregnancy, any plans for those?

 

[Davox]

As of V0.10 Game content is currently 55 gifs, 217 jpegs

Its a bit text heavy for me but I'm not much of a reader, the writing is good though.
Haven't found any bugs
Could do with more guidance/objectives - the games fairly empty at the moment so finding content can be hard
Specific locations need specific outfits - this annoys me. If I have the outfit just put me in it don't make me go home and change
Played for over an hour and found f*ck all content, this has promise but give it a few months at least.

I haven't found the content yet but there are stats for:
Voyeurism
Exhibitionism
Prostitution
SubDom
Bisexuality

Console Commands / Cheats

Afew of them aren't gender specific so there may be lesbian content

 

[Vrijgeest]

Good luck. You are going to need it.

 

[Stretta]

Sounds like the most painfully vanilla thing to ever vanilla.

Edit: Haven't even gotten to any porn yet and having to constantly dig through menus to micro-manage multiple layers of clothes several times a day is already the most tedious and annoying thing ever.

What you got against rape?

gifs in 2020

 

[kekasaurus]

Usually when I see a game with 'taken' porn pictures my assumption is that it's generally very sloppy, grindy, and relies more on the pictures than anything else. But judging from the screen caps the writing looks a bit more promising and I'm going to give this a try.

Pity no 'coerced'. I'm not a rape person but I do like a bit of domination/submission.

 

[LPGammler]

Uff, the wardrobe mechanics are really annoying. Having to pick 4 different types of wardrobe every time you change your clothes is hardly fun. There should be clothing sets that you can chose from with one click.

You have to click 7 times through the bedroom menu to be able to leave the room dressed after waking up. This is just too much redundancy every single day.

 

[Kalenz123]

No coerced sexual situations? Sounds incredibly boring and unrealistic.

 

[Daert]

Fairly good start, love the setup. Agree on the wardrobe mechanics, it's a huge pain! Energy needs balancing, I had to chug hundreds of coffees just to keep playing Also Arousal could be capped at some max number and also be balanced. I'd have to masturbate all day every day to keep it low. Also about the energy, I often ended up in a dead, unable to move due to 0 energy (Bathroom for example).

 

[ray3dave]

I was waiting for a new game in this genre to appear, and this one looks promising.

Trying to get her dressed for the gym I trapped myself in her bedroom, " I can't leave my bedroom like this! ". I wish the clothing mechanics would be easier and maybe hint what she can wear and what she can't, especially which piece of clothing might be missing. Quite a lot of clicks to get her ready to go.

I have no idea what I am missing at this very point and after 5 minutes fighting to get her dressed in a way to go on I am a bit annoyed - I might just as well be very dumb.

EDIT: " I can't leave the apartment without shoes! " , oh, no, not that again...
EDIT: Really, I am spending too much time fighting with the dressing mechanics. Please change that!

 

[BrokenRose]

Yes, it's yet another game to try its hand at the control this girl's life genre.... but have you seen the previews? This writing is actually of good quality, nicely detailed, and (above all) flawless English.

I wish you all the best while you get through the early stages of development hell and hope to see this reach completion.

 

[CrowleyJ]

I did enjoy the writing and the gifs, but ultimately it was too annoying. About 50% of your time in the game will be in the wardrobe trying to work out why you're not allowed to go into or out of a particular location, and the energy management is frankly a pain in the ass. Also found a bug - if you masturbate in the shower when you have low energy you can wind up with no energy. Apparently you need at least some energy to put your clothes back on(???) which means you're stuck - can't do anything in the bathroom, can't leave the bathroom because you can't get dressed again.

And just because there's a weird and slightly gross amount of people out here complaining about this, I'm gonna say I also enjoy the lack of rape or coerced content. PSA: rape and coercion are not normal or good, and rape and coercion have no place in domination/submission.

 

[Loqic]

Looks good so far! I'll be following this for sure. Good luck with the development.
And yeah.. the wardrobe thing...

 

[Amahl Farouk]

Very good writing

But getting dressed is a huge pain in the ass, we need sets! one click, get dressed end the clothing tyranny!

 

[Amon-Noatak]

Getting images for the clothes would also be appreciated.

Thank you all for your comments and feedback! If this is the type of game you are into, we hope you enjoy what we have now, as well as future updates!

A couple of general comments in response to your immediate reactions:

1. We are attempting to develop this in a way that will open the game up for any number of potential paths. This includes (definitely) lesbian and bisexual experiences, submission, domination, and prostitution (in various forms), as well as (likely) different forms of alcoholism/addiction. We do not currently have plans for pregnancy, but this is definitely a possibility at some point in the future---actions do have consequences, after all.

2. Our comment about coercion/rape refers specifically to the trend in some female protagonist/corruption games that implies the only reason a woman might have sexual encounters is if she is blackmailed, extorted, molested, raped, or in some other non-consensual fashion. We're not kink-shaming anyone who wants to play games with that content (in fact the female member of the team plays with the non-con fantasy herself), it's just not the game we want to write. Some women just have sex because they really want to.

3. About the wardrobe system: we do have plans to add a couple of "getting dressed" shortcuts in the next release. In this first release, we just needed to be sure that it all worked properly, and what better way to do that than to let the fine folks of this forum test it out for us? Would adding these shortcuts (as a way of cutting down on dressing/undressing time) sufficiently address these issues for those who have expressed these concerns?

4. Wardrobe, part two: the two key rules in this version are (1) her level of comfort is such that she doesn't feel comfortable walking half-naked around an apartment with two guys she doesn't know, so she has to be wearing at least a top, a bottom, and panties to leave her bedroom; (2) she doesn't want to leave the apartment without being fully dressed, so she has to be wearing all of those as well as a bra and shoes to leave the apartment/building. Both of these will have the potential to change in the next update, with interesting(?) results.

5. Energy management: we will definitely take another look at this to get it more balanced. We thought that with the coffee and ability to nap or rest in multiple places, as well as the "sleep for the night" option in the bedroom, that it would be more easily managed. We'll see if we can fix the amount of energy spent per activity. PS--the downtown coffee shop might be a cool place to visit!

6. We also plan to include a short one-page (and skippable) "tutorial" prior to the preface. This will definitely include an overview of the wardrobe system and a quick explanation of some of the most important stats. Anything else that should be included?

Again, thank you all for your feedback. We will be updating this thread with all future public versions as soon as they become public.
