Probably been the hardest part to write. I men the MC can now have sex Day 1 after having no confidence with women. A Male MC can have four sexual encounters by the end of Day 2. Justifying that has been hard.

I have no doubt, since it's so early in the game and later stuff can easily make it shaky. I personally had played the game where I avoid all the sex outside of the younger sister and the working gal when a man because of the backstory. As a bi-woman, I always swung between trying to get her BFF in bed, seducing her BFF step-father in revenge, and knowing her BFF would totally approve of sleeping with any of her sisters.

Now if I played a male dom, I would just get in my car and drive to the next town cus I've really screwed-up it up and likely it's unrepairable. Or hook-up with the mom after kicking the step-father to the curb since the sisters need some positive support.

Some thoughts on the Fetish Paths and Porn :

1. At the start of the game the player can choose a fetish path (bondage, service, punishment, crossdress, petplay) and specify sub/dom stance. For most paths the player has to choose the fetish also as porn to unlock the fetish's path quest, ignoring all other porn options. This feels a bit one-sided. Path quests could already be unlocked when choosing sub/dom preference. I guess that the quests will later split for doms and subs anyway.

2. The chosen fetish based on the embarrassing incident is common knowledge to all three sisters and maybe also to Ava. For subs (= mc loves the fetish), this opens the option to remind the sisters on the incident (or vice versa) and allows mc to hint that he/she would like to continue on that path without acting too strange.
Note : Riley references the chosen fetish on day 2 in the morning when mc gets the mysterious parcel.

3. Ava catches the mc watching porn. Based on the incident and the selected porn, there could be follow up events with Ava or the sisters for certain types of porn referencing the event.


Edit :
When watching the lesbian scene at the gym, the game could remember if player chose Lesbian porn.

I had a closer look at the html and noticed that there are already 624 passages (= pages), allthough not all passages seem currently to be reachable when playing the story. This is really huge and more content than some other games have when completed. Good work.

Edit : If you can read a passage per minute, it would take around 10 hours to go through all passages. And this is only the first 2 days.

Almost everything you have pointed out has actually been changed ready for the next release.

The NPC's now react to your body type (first impression) and it is their thoughts that raise/lower their affection. Your attraction to them raises/lowers your female (or male) attraction.

Confident players can now have sex with Abella at the bus stop.

Fixed the premature ejaculation. Your Confidence lowers your Arousal between scenes (like when you are waiting on the bus stop or driving home.)

There is now a different encounter for sex at the club. You meet Aaliyah Hadid though you again need confidence to sleep with her.

Casey threatens but no longer blackmails you.

The pet play event was meant to end after a tease so that you would seek her out in future. It is only day 2 and I did not want everyone to fuck the MC who is supposed to be a virgin.

You can have sex with Candy but most people miss it as the premature ejaculation was an issue. I added the toilet so that you could masturbate but it was the wrong option. Its been a lot of trial and error with the mechanics that I want but it is coming together.




It was going to be that you are in trouble with Casey even though it is not your fault that you could not be home. That has changed where she no longer asks you to be there. I won't say more but that I am changing this.

Yeah the Deep Dive scene in the locker room was meant to be female only. You are not the only one to mention it. The next update was going to be a quick patch to fix these issues but turned into such a big job that it wasn't worth putting anything out until it was done.



Theres actually a lot of lesbian content coming up with the slumber party. I have set that the NPC's have hetero and even gay sex but the player can have lesbian relationships.



No that is a different party. (I hadn't thought about that it might be thought of as the same party.)
The all girl party is just Melissa's friends:
Melissa, Riley and Casey.
Abella Danger
Gina Valentina
Kira Noir
Jill Kassidy
Jenna J Foxx
As you are aware form the current content, Riley will sneak out to go to the club at some point which is why I wanted to finish see what happened there before I wrote the sex scene with her.

I am still working on the slumber party atm as it is a large scene.

I'm really hoping the game does the straight dom male path justice because so far is:
1- Having others trying to change you to be more feminine and submissive even the job you are offered is more or less trying to do that.
2- watching the girls you want get fucked, watching randoms getting it on and the few chances the MC gets some, it seems like he is competing for the title "the fastest gun in the west".

I think the game has potential to be one of the best if done right, It's clear that you are putting a lot of work and effort into this and I admire and respect that and it's why I'm hoping for a better path for male MC.

Either way, I wish you luck (y)

If I may ask, how will the character paths will go, mainly involving the endings of the paths because when the path ends will it count as an end to the game with a whole ending scene to it, or will it just end the route and have you continue onward with the game as if nothing happened?

This is by far the most well made HTML game. Dev is clearly knows what he's doing with the code. But there are so many branching paths, that we may never see this game being completed, or even continued in terms of the plot. As of right now, game only contains a prologue, and the update is nowhere in sight. So maybe Dev bited more that he can chew.

Best game I've played hands down. GlitchDoll has a lot going on and apparently is stepping away, "I will not be returning to work on this game."
Very understandable considering the circumstances GD is in but sucks nonetheless. I hope for a return but health comes first.

I swear, some fucking assassin is going around and making them step down from developing their games. 9 out of 10 devs get "life-circumstanced", bringing their projects to a halt. Damn you, conspirators. Who was it, Illuminati, Masons, maybe even Israel, why must you make us all suffer...?

Is there a source for this quote?

On patreon there was a release message for TEI v0.0.1.8 on July 2nd.
Since patreon posts are all locked, it is difficult to keep track on development.

Yeah lol. I kinda noticed the pattern as well. Any games I ever like got shut down or delayed indefinitely. But it could be that the dev just lost interest and passion to continue? Especially for a good game like this...

First playthrough, shame to learn this game was abandoned. The UI was one of the best I've seen for this genre.

If the game is abandoned, maybe someone can share the latest version v0.0.1.8?
GD announced a lot of changes and there is also the girls night for female characters which is missing in v0.0.1.7.
