A critique I would have in regards to the MC's behavior in that scenario would be that it conflicts with the character if his confidence is really high, which has correlation to the attributes the first guy was complaining about, though it's true you can have those with low confidence. If the character does supposedly have high confidence and/or dominance, he likely wouldn't be as self-deprecating. That wouldn't mean he wouldn't be critical of himself, though his critiques would be why isn't he living up to his own expectations of himself, or his mindset.

The issue I imagine is it'd be more work to alter dialogue to account for such things, though it would add to the immersion.

Very true.
Maybe with high confidence I should have him reassure himself in the car mirror. Everyone gets low but it's how we deal with it.
Thank you. I will do an edit

Hey Dev,
my bad for the comment. I tend to write with emotion instead of taking a step back and think first.
I was just frustrated that the MC did not act the way i wanted him to act.
But thats not an excuse. I could have been a lot nicer but i wasnt. Thats on me.
Im sorry for that.

Overall the game is pretty good. Im getting a bit confused with the amount of paths that i can take.
Maybe even too many paths...? I dont know. I just think it might get difficult to make all paths equaly engaging the further the game progresses.

Good job so far.

An apology for the comment shows a lot about your character. Thank you.

There are indeed a few too many paths, your not the only one to comment on it. But I wanted the player to be able to have a lot more freedom. I am not a fan of bad endings because the choice is not what I want the MC to do.
When I decided that you didn't have to become an Ember Test subject, I made the choice that I would try to make the choices really matter.

Just bumping this question for GlitchDoll. Thank you!

Sorry I have missed answering this twice. The Femdo content is not in the game yet. Or not much. The majority is on the female path atm.
Yes Femdom will be for Male players not just Sissy.
Already been working on Casey's scenes.

I am also hoping that next update will have some Sub characterscenes for Dominant players.

No apology needed, you've got a lot going on! Thanks for answering.

do you plan on going open world after a certain point, or is the more of a linear story?

Undecided.
Open world usually requires a lot of repeating scenes and I am trying to avoid that.

If you have been to the Hostel and met Janey, you might have seen that each "Walk away" button leads to a different scene. In my head, the story goes on whether the MC is there or not so I try to make sure that the scenes are not repeated.

 

[Vertius]

You always change the subject in the car. The option to tell her is unavailable.
It's mostly so that there are scenes like at the Slumber party where your fetish desires can splip out.

Ah, that's too bad. I would've loved to see her reaction to all of the different porn choices, and being so early would have made it really easy to see all the options without investing too much time. Thanks for replying!

fun thought, i encountered a bug on the questionere when you arrive in the institute, i was about to make a very frustraded complain, untill i lowered a bit and saw that there is a hotfix link, then i felt like a fool..... but anyway now that i arrived to the end(so far) i begin to question if i should make multiple saves so that i can see the diferent routes, i'm really liking it so far , instant follow for me, (sending good vibes to dev cuse it is well deserved)

I seem to be at a dead end with Bailey: after I meet her and end up giving her a deepthroat, I just end up at a black screen

 

[Zephea]

Oddly enough, as an athletic and well-endowed male, that did not do the testing at the Ember, did not take any drugs of any kind - I was still transformed into a trans character at the end of the play. That leaves me somewhat confused how that could happen? Sure I selected some choices during the game for cross-dressing/service and perhaps some punishment - but I would think I would need some drugs or something for physical changes like that...

Make sure you apply the Hotfix4 on the Op. It corrects a lot of errors/weirdness... :>)

Already done, but the dead end is still there. Maybe i should start a new save?

Worth a try, it is a quick play through and I stopped seeing that problem after one or more of those Hotfixes.

This is really neat! Definitely what I've been looking for in a game for a while now. Really enjoying the multitude of characters and scenarios. Also, as someone who plays gay characters, I enjoyed how much there was content-wise for me. I have two questions:

1. Are you going to be able to get with characters that aren't initially attracted to your gender? Like, when meeting the bartender, I thought he was hot, and would enjoy getting to pursue him even if his attraction started off at -30. I guess what I'm asking here is: In that example, would it be possible to raise the attraction despite that?
2. The guy who boxes you in in the beginning, is there any chance for him to become a recurring character? Something about that exchange was hot

 

[Vertius]

I really enjoyed my playthrough, though I definitly missed some content. I didn't get to go to the sleepover for example. One thing I will say, is that choosing to have a small dick doesn't really seem to have any effect on the story other than a couple of early reactions. All the girls you are with act like you have a huge dick, which is a bit jarring.

That shouldnt have happened. It should require the player to go to Ember to access to the transformation. It asks for EmberBrain gte 1 (Added after you are put to sleep) and Pink gte 30 (the Pink Bottles or Pink Pills).
Can you post the save and I can have a look at what went wrong.

The small dick is whats causing the errors with the black screens. It wasn't meant to be left on. I only turned in on for testing as the small dick content is still in development.
It's mostly cause I am fighting with the small dick not being able to have sex (never hard trait) so they are very different scenarios.

As in the message above, its the small cock. Once you put in the Hotfix, restart the game and you will see you can't select it, it has Future Update on the button

 

[Coomer341]

Can MC get a vagina? I got the transformation but the gender transformation route is still locked, is this just end of content or is there something I'm doing wrong?
