HTML The Company [v5.9.1] [Westane]

[chichong]

Two hours, one of which was for testing which the developer doesn't seem to do at all. This was one of the largest monthly updates in a long time and it has 9 scenes that take about 3-10 minutes to write depending on how quickly you can write and what degree to which you have a preconception of what to put in the scene. This is leaving aside that 60% or more of the writing is basically copypasted from other scenes.
Other than implementing a new global variable that's totally at odds with how the game has heretofore stored data for anything and I assume was done automatically by twine, this month's updates in terms of bugfixes and other backend changes was literally less than the changes to modAss() and btnDom etc. I make every time there's a new patch which took me (the first time) like 30 minutes regexing through the file in vim with zero prior knowledge of twine or the game's internal structure besides a rough idea of what sugarcube variables would be named.

Pretending the developer is an amateur when this game has existed longer than the total training cycle of most professionals is absurd as well.
I don't expect better from the developer (he's entitled to do as little as he wants and clearly it's enough to satisfy patrons) and neither should you be claiming that this is what 100-200 hours of work looks like is an insult to software developers and writers everywhere.

1st of all, I agree with your points. The amount of content in each update is like a netflix movie (5 minutes action at start, 40 minutes useless fluff and another 5 minutes of action at the end to keep the morons interested). And the cliffhanger is the final chapter. It is about milking subscribers, otherwise the final chapter / conclusion would've been released way before bug squashing and character polishing.

On the other hand, I tried (a couple of times) to add extra flavor to certain scenes - and not only in this game. Let me tell you, writing is hard. Porn writing is even harder. And when English is your 3rd language it becomes a losing battle. You have the scene in your head, you can visualize it from start to finish. But when it comes to actually describe it and make it interesting, you fail miserably. I am unable to build-up tension and release it at the proper moment. Hell, I tried in my own language and I screwed up as well. Anyway, I had to admit I have zero skill in writing. Or maybe is too hard?

What I'm trying to say here is - if you spend days writing and deleting because you are not satisfied with what you've done, at the end of the month the results of your efforts are going to be pretty thin.

Is there a more up to date wiki or guide somewhere? Even thought the wiki says that the guide has v5.3, it's info is more around v3.3.

It's pretty exhausting having to scour the patchnotes and in-game code to find out what's new.

So the wiki shows stuff that is in the game despite what it says on the Arcweave. Anything with WIP IS finished. That guide was simply made right before the content completion updates started.

Having the structure should get you where you need to go

I don't know if anyone had noticed, but in 5.8.1 the MCS-X for Mom may be broken. I only tried the Tightest Family ending, and the ingame notebook doesn't recognize the usage of the MCS-X(it only registers as MCS-3), nor does the MC start sleeping in Ava's room. I cannot say anything about other MCS-X endings as I hadn't tried to finish them(and I won't even try Broken Home and Sell To Company endings anyway), but it should be good to check if it's just this ending or not.

It takes 3 days to take effect.

1. Go to sleep AND work for 3 days straight
2. Sleep alone without interacting with Ava or Dakota
3. 4th day, you will get a scene

Like Snugglepuff said.

Simply do not Dose Tasha for 14 days and follow that No Dose Route until you get the chance to grant her a vagina.

I'm doing that in free play, but the dream hasn't happened yet. Are there other factors to consider?

Tasha's Date and No Dose Route:
1) Get the gender reveal scene: either the first time you try to dose her (you won't actually dose her then), or visit her in the office early in the morning, you need to go to work early to do that
2) After 14 days explore the office between Morning and Late Morning for an event with female characters.
2a) Tasha will ask you on a date when leaving work after step 2, accept the date
3a) Get the random event where Tasha gives you her phone number and wait 7 days until you get the second date to her apartment and select "Accept her offer and follow her home"
3b) Alternatively, in normal play, on October 21 "Get lunch with Tasha", then "Go to Tasha's apartment" (I'm pretty that one is bugged and doesn't unlock the rest of the events at the moment)
4) "Invite Tasha over for the day" on the weekend, during morning or late morning
5) In normal play, you need to wait for Chapter 4, in freeplay, I don't think there is any time constraint. After 3-7 days, get a dream with Tasha and Saya.
6) Have the "Weird Dreams" conversation with Tasha
7) 2 days later during the second dream with Tasha and Saya, select: "I want this to be who I am. I want this to be my future!"

I did "4", but "5" hasn't happened yet as a result. What does that mean for me?

Retry it and see if it changes. I'd also Go to Work for those 3 days. At night, sleep alone. Don't interact with Dakota or Ava

After using TFM in December on someone....
In the training area of the pit...
Their image fails to load...

I thought I was doing that, but I was also going home with Sophie/Penny/Tasha during the workweek, so maybe that’s also something I need to stop doing.

Just checked with the console, and apparently Tasha’s “genderReveal” variable was still set to “false” even though I walked in on her during my first work morning. Though a “flag” variable had a “genderReveal” variable that was true within it, so who knows what’s happened. I also apparently haven’t caused a “CH4DayTrip” flag to go off, as it says in the section for Free Play.

 

[Billshwr]

Does anyone have a save with Tasha as a women?

Any updates planned for the drawing version?

It doesnt work at all. Something its bugged, please check it and fix it. Both normal and freeplay seems blocked. With or without serums on Ava and Dakota. I played multiple times and nothing. Specially 2) event with female characters will not appear. Sometimes appear only event with Tasha when at the end it says your are dating Tasha now, and thats all. Cant get her phone number. I tried to use debug mode to initiate event with phone number but even with her number still no dreams with saya about Tasha.

I've run into a little problem with this version: TheCompany-5-8-1-PublicBuild

This happens when I just run in the normal browser (Firefox v123.0.1, 64 bit). I can play the game if I drag it into a private browser window.
Would anyone know what the cause of that is?

Best google it because it looks to be a setting or your cache is way to low and it's not being collected anymore

i had that problem in this very version of the game
does your file look like this ?

or does it look like this ?

cause mine looked like the second one at first and i got that error, i then read the readme for a bit and realise that the "MACOSX" file shouldn't be here, i deleted it and the game worked fine.

Maybe if the MC is pregnant (in my case by a futa mother) if she is transformed back to trans instead of cancelling it, the MC should access to the full futa package like the mom. Because now that I turned Tasha into a woman there's no way the MC can impregnate her in her pregnant state.
