HTML Power of Will [v0.074a] [G28]

[ShinyBoots1993]

It's version 0.074 of a non-sandbox game, designed (like their game College Daze) to be played multiple times. It is the earliest of early releases.

It's designed suspiciously like a sandbox despite it apparently not being one, eh? The only difference really is the stupid ass time limit. I've played college daze and that definitely isn't a sandbox. This however could be one easily by simply calling it one. Seen more than one play identically to this.

Not gonna lie it does feel like a sandbox game in structure. Especially in this most recent update.

When there was only one night I struggled with the decisions but then the next night happened and the previous options were still available. This happened again on the third night.

Honestly I think it should lean into this pseudo-sandbox direction. College Daze makes more sense as a linear narrative since there's a mystery to solve. This is focused on rebuilding a country and making connections or exploring/redefining existing ones.

Keep College Daze's multi-pathed mystery and let Power of Will be more of a choice and consequences type deal. Half of the decisions in Will of Power give significantly more of a "this will have lasting consequences in the long term" vibe where College Daze gives more immediate realizations where action A leads to reaction B. Will of Power can have more domino effects.

Stumbled across this game last night, i swear ive played something like this before or maybe its the same, but looking good.My only gripe is that you are using a dead pornstar(sophie leaone), it maybe just me but let the poor girl rest in peace.

I believe this is really hard to do. Not everyone follows a porn stars life in detail, I dont think there is any form of disrespect in that. The line of work makes them pretty much a 'public person' and the material used is original and not some modified AI version of it. Devs using reallife porn material usually do this to save on time and effort in the development process but dont mean any harm with it otherwise.

It has always felt like a peculiar "gripe", beyond that. Has anyone ever refused to watch Star Wars because Alec Guinness and Carrie Fisher are dead, or complained about them being depicted in other media? It seems odd to me that people apply different logic here, than they would anywhere else.

We used to be able to cheat max stats on the MC. Can't do that on the current version. Why?

 

[chaosbox24]

Is there a "sandbox" type mode? I end up running out of time to hit all of the available events to me and there's no way to go back and do them when you hit the end of current content thing. I had this problem in college daze as well.

Is there an option to genderswap the MC?

That is by design. You are not supposed to be able to experience every single possible outcome in a single run. Especially because some events naturally block others.

Playing as a female MC was removed due to lack of interest. If there's specific content you want to see in the game, best way to be heard is to sub to their patreon.

Outside big branching decisions it's sad to be that much limited either in numbers of actions/day or by the actual numbers of playable days, the same occured with college daze, that the only big downside i don't like much... i can be wrong but i feel like you can easely add 4-5 days with only the actual content... yet there are some actions you can't follow up because of others action when they feel side-action...

I do believe G28 took the base design from Daze, so it wasnt that surprising for me personally. I get your point but also see that G28 isnt monetizing this, so my tendency to accept a devs design decision is much more lenient. Good designs, that are actually working, are generally hard to come by and reusing what worked before has been done often enough to not be a surprise. Look around how many have tried some fancy shit and never finished any of it, let alone make it enjoyable.

Does anyone know how to solve this error? GBRival025aStart1

Considering how common suicides and ODs are in the industry, if you really dug deep into all the real porn games on the site I wouldn't be surprised if as many as 25% of them use footage from at least one dead performer. They don't all happen while their names are still big enough to be news, if it happens a couple years after they retire than most people might never hear about it. There are a lot more who end up on the street or as strung out hookers (or both) but I guess it's fine to crank one out to someone whose life is a living hell as long as they aren't actually dead.


As for the game I definitely love G28's work, College Daze is one of the best projects around. Hopefully my grandchildren will live long enough to see Power of Will completed, or maybe I'll look into cryogenic suspension.

I rewatched and fapped to Emily Willis' videos when she was in a coma. Am I going to hell?

That feels like a separate thread is in order for those requiring a self-help group with this. A little bit of self-loathing and group hugging might still save you.

is there any way to play the game without being limited by the amount of days you have? i want to explore all options (and women)

Post 726 is not even a page back - same question. Already answered too

argh, again another male MC only game...

The game actually had female MC lol, it simply was removed due the lack of support. As much as G28 likes to please everyone, you can't expect a dev investing in something that doesn't have return financially. Not to mention the effort and time needed to write every single option in game, along with error testing. The more coding, the more vulnerable to bugs a game is.
