I hate that gods awful art filter on some of the pics, just use the normal images imo.

FAAAAAAAAAAAAAR too kinetic for my tastes already just basically clicking to be led around by the nose. The few choices so far are more illusion of choice than actual choice..

Did notice some odd things, 1)the second time I go to the bio-engineering club eimi shoots me in the arm with some shit and both characters say I agreed to do this but nothing of the sort has happened yet 2)the phone call from your buddy repeated itself twice. 3)saw another instance of club events seeming to skip a step but I forgot which/where/when 4)on the 27th you return to takeda sensei who prompty refers to you as takeda sensei

All in all this is a solid start but I dont think I'll be back for more, its just too linear.

edit:
a few times at that point the game starts falling apart with weird loops or skipping around events.

I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy it. I'm working on adding more content, however I'm afraid I won't be able to change the art choices. But, I appreciate that you spent the time to post errors which you encountered in the game. There were some misaligned lines which were causing issues. Hopefully I caught all of them. I've uploaded a bugfix version, but there's no new content, other than one bio club day and a short visit to student affairs which were being skipped.

That's fine, for every type there's people who either really love or really hate the graphics, especially when it comes to 3D renders and real porn photos from what I've seen. The main reason for processing the images is to make them look somewhat more consistent. My first attempt was using a bunch of filters, but that really didn't work out that great. The current version uses a few trained ESRGAN models to achieve the effect. Sure it's not always similar, mainly due to the quality of the source material, but the result I think is much better than using the unprocessed original images. Here's one of the more jarring before/after as comparison. (Finding good quality images of clothed male JAV actors is a pain...)

I think it looks fine. It's certainly a good idea to try to make images from different sources match up a bit. What could be seen as an issue is that it's really hard or impossible to make alternate sprites for different expressions and such if the source was from a one off picture. Right now, it does get a little bit monotonous because there is only one sprite per char. I focus more on dialogue and writing so it's fine for me, but others may not like it. The scenes will be full pictures so that's no problem.

Anyways, don't sweat it. I mean, fuck. Is there any other game that even uses JAV actor/actresses? This game is unique in that regard, and I prefer this to another fucking low quality HS/DAZ shit from a dev that has questionable skills and rig for rendering.

 

[lorddarkam]

Well would not be surprised if Riley Rape a guy in the game

 

[desmosome]

Few things that may be bugs so far. Playing on the "normal guy' route.

When you walk in on Emi showering, she doesn't notice you if you pick the third option. The story treats it like she saw you anyways.

Chloe comes up during lunch sometimes and talks to you familiarly and wants to hang out again. That was the first time seeing her for me.

I'll add more if I find it.

edit: Other than that, same issues with the other guy. Friend sending you msg about Midori twice. Emi side project injection thing happening out of no where.

Expressions are a bit tricky indeed... I've been looking into ways to add them into the game, but the only tool that works on a PC to morph facial images seems to be Artbreeder. I'm not really sure if I want to use it. But if there are other similar ones, I can look into them.

Hmm, I'll look into the shower one and see what's wrong. The Chloe part I have already caught earlier today, so it's going to be fixed in the next update. It's because I changed how met characters were being tracked, but the one mostly affected by this was Chloe. Thanks for sharing.

All this sissy tfg games are the some...

They just copy-pasting dumb stuff from ones to others from the times since HTML was invented.

This game isn't exception.

All these twenty-odd years they have been using the same dumb plot, the same engine, the same primitive grindo mechanics, and the same moronic boring setting and stealing porn pictures from the Internet.

Probably when a man becomes a sissy and his testicles decrease, he loses all the ability to be creative?

 

[Deleted member 852623]

Can someone help me identify the actresses on the 3 and 4 screenshot in the start post? Thx in advance.

Lol, I think you need to take some pill or something. Serious, go see a doctor. That level of anger and

Yoshine Yuria and Kanae Ruka. Also all relevant models are listed on their character page (bottom of the screen menu)

That 1* review is such bullshit.

Its nonsense isn't it, its an initial release dudes reviewing it like its been in development for 5 years. Just pissed he got blue balled I guess.

On that, hasn't this been on here already? I've played it before ages ago but search only brings up this thread. has anything changed?

Student x-change is an absolute favourite of mine, although not sure how much of that is down to the current dev or this dev

But what if its a Transformation pill and he finds himself in the plot of a tired HTML game

then his testicles will shrink and his aggression will diminish! he might even learn to write above a third grade level once all those brain cells start working again

 

[bugfinder]

i think he sweat so much xD

Hi,

pls tell me i do somerthing wrong and how to play to see some sex scenes or at least the pictures in the top of posting.

greetings

 

[Davox]

I've not played it but the tags at the top should correspond to the content that's in the game, not planned content. So there should be sex.

I only posted it on tfgames quite some time ago, but that was a really rough version. Maybe you played that one?
Student X-Change the story is almost all xchangefan. I did the coding for it up to... version 1.10, I think.

The amount of content available currently is manly > nice > lesbian > regular. It's probably going to stay like this for a while, due to the fact that specific paths will require more changes to the MC to get to the action. Regular girl doesn't have any sex scene currently, and lesbian doesn't have any involving the MC either. Next update will add something nice for the lesbian path.

I have to ask since on this site the lesbian tag is useless and the "lesbian routes" of some games end up being completely fake.
if i choose the lesbian woman as mc can i play it completely lesbian, i mean, all content with men will be totally avoidable?

 

[Platinum_Flame]

Not that much at the moment, there are a few characters bossing you slightly, but actual content is not yet added.

Is it planned to be added soon and is it going to be like a functional route or a few scenes?

Most sexual situations are going to be optional to a degree. And if you start as a lesbian you won't be forced to have sex with a man. If the MC's personality is being altered, then the MC might get some urges for a different gender than before, but you will get at least a chance to tackle this before you get locked on such a path. Same goes the other way around, for a straight girl being changed into a lesbian.

The biggest paths I have planned are:

The soon part on the other hand... I really can't promise anything at the moment. I will most likely start including parts of some of these paths this year, Sachiko one being the one I want to work the most, but it's also the one that requires the most character changes.
For now the next release is going to be game and literature clubs introduction, continuation of Mike/Midori storyline, and I think some autumn festival content, if it doesn't take too long. After that, it's probably giving more love to the female paths, continuing some club storylines, and the beach party. Once that is done, continuation of transformation options. That's the rough timeline, for now. But sometimes I just feel inspired on working on some specific event, so it can change.

 

[Random Number Generator]

I don't mean to offend, and I do like the Dev's previous work, but...

... I've seen idle games that required less mouse clicks to get somewhere interesting. More satisfying, too.

There's some drastic trimming needed here. More rewards (choices), less dialogue, less repetition.

Also, not gonna lie. The 'Oh, anime!' start was cringe even by the standards of porn games.
