HTML - The Making of a Slut [v1.1.9] [Austinhaney6969]

tl;dr this game is unworthy of your time until it receives either a quality pass or a rewrite from the ground up and I don't think that'll ever happen.

Supposedly, this project has received updates for years, maybe even a decade.
You'll never know though, because the beginning of the game has never received any kind of polish. I try this once every year or so and it's always terrible. The ancient pictures of retired pornstars seem to lose more pixels every month. Your paper doll avatar feels more and more amateurish and goofy every time you turn it on. Everyone harps on the interface but the sad truth is that the interface itself would be fine enough if the supporting cast of pictures, text, load times, videos, avatar, and other quality markers were there.

But it's empty, because even if the hottest, most erotic h-game of all time any of us will ever play is back there somewhere it won't matter. You'll never get there if you have access to literally any other kind of pornographic content. Things I'll never see nor experience may as well not exist.

I'm going to ignore this thread, finally. I'm tired of pretending I'll boot this up and it'll be playable.

There are worse games in every respect even with the awful UI, low-res real porn but in terms of content there's shockingly little to be found. You can exhaust most paths within an hour having made no meaningful choices. Don't hate the concept but there's so, so little of note to do.

The UI is one of the worst I have ever seen in a game (reminds me of a home-made spreadsheet and macros based "tool" to calculate expenses I saw in one of my previous jobs).

Which makes that game entirely unplayable. So, Look... I have no idea if the story ever gets good, maybe it does? But I didn't stick around enough to know.

I guess, to say something nice... the paperdoll thingie is pretty cute?

v1.06 I'm conflicted about this one.

On the one hand, it has a lot of fun interactions, good writing, and a very nicely done player avatar system.

On the other, the progression doesn't seem to make much sense: for example, the sister events mention that they will be a slow burn, and that sex won't be happening until future updates, but then you can go from being a straight male to turning into a woman by simply buying clothes and attending classes.

I had my character with massive tits and ass, and woman clothes, and the storyline was only getting into the mildest things.

The game also seems to want to force the player to use those cock lock chastity things, which are a turn off. This accessory also bugs your outfits - anytime I remove the chastity device, my work outfit breaks and I need to configure it all over again.

I'm mostly giving it a 4 for effort, because it's better than most HTML real porn games, so it deserves an above-average rating, but it needs a lot of work when it comes to the triggering of events and progression.

i found the best way to play this is ignore school and just go to work over and over again, To make the submissive work route better it needs:
-more blackmail and coersion. have baily take pics and threaten to leak them if you dont do what she says.
-make it so baily feeds you a pill to transform you slowly. make her either sneak it or blackmail the mc to take it.

do these 2 things and the game will become 10000% better in my eyes,

Review for v0.9.5
A really good mess, is how I would paraphrase my review for The Making of a Slut.
The game starts out very sandboxy, and then becomes very grindy, and then ends with your character just wondering off into the distance. All jokes aside, that is the best way to describe this game. The beginning is very open to starting how you want to start, go buy girls cloths, buy the butt plug, buy the chasity cage, don't buy anything, These are all options on how to start the corruption. The big issue, is that the amount you get corrupted from the items, doesn't scale well with the story. You jump off the deep end with buying things to feminize your character as quickly as possible, and then the story starts to not make any sense. Which leads to the player just going through the motions with the characters everyday life, grinding stats (that I'm not even sure matter all that much). Then the character becomes an airhead bimbo and the story is still stuck on me putting on makeup and makes all the story events feel off and not worthwhile so you end up just meandering around in the world looking for other things to do.
A good way to overcome everything that I just talked about, would be to implement a detailed journal that explained what events were (are about to be) available, and any sort of requirements that are needed to get them.
The interface is ok, but because of the stretching of the dialog, it creates an excessive amount of unnecessary scrolling which gets really old, really quick.
Overall, it's actually a really good game, and just needs a couple of things for it to end up being great.

This game was made for a very specific type of audience.
The majority of the content centers around both wearing a buttplug AND having a chastity cage on. Personally, I don't vibe with the whole chastity thing. All of the major storylines involve the chastity cage at some points, and you're forced (as in the game will not let you take it off) to wear 24/7 if you get too far into the biggest plotline, which is Riley's.

Putting all that aside, the UI for this game is very mid, clicking between pages refreshes your HUD, which sucks because you'll need to manually click a button to pop up your energy, time of day, etc, quite a lot.

There's a really small amount of visual content in this game, gifs are reused and usually less than two seconds long, and sometimes they don't match up with the story shown on screen (all of the masturbation gifs imply you're already deep into your feminization.)

Overall the game works and is playable, but has a lot of decisions that detract from the overall experience. Content is locked away along with your cock and feels impossible to escape. It's not what I expected going into the game. The content that is there feels reused and boring. None of the skills you can level up in the game do anything as far as I can tell, and there's a bunch of grades for classes in the game that serve exclusively as a bar to show how far you're progressing, grades don't decline ever and are just quotas to meet to keep moving forward. The game is alright, but not particularly fun or revolutionary in any way that an HTML game could be.

very confusing to hoow start a quest/route but good with more updates could be better expecting more gifs /images and routes with more customization option
overall Great concept. Many interesting visuals. Entertaining! Keeps you engaged with new content for hours

This game is a lot of fun if you enjoy sissification of the protagonist. The writing is good, the characters are interesting, and the player has enough choices to make some pretty significant deviations based on their decisions. It does feature images of pornstars and scenes from pornography, which is not everyone's cup of tea.

The only change I would make is to the UI; it is pretty clunky at first, but it is more manageable as time goes on.

All in all, if you like the genre of "HTML games with transformation/sissification", you will love this.

A modern classic for this genre, but the UI is a pain in the ass. I appreciate the effort that has gone into making a different UI than what is standard but it makes enjoying the good parts of the game so much harder when its how you play the whole game.

There is content to enjoy, but not enough for the poor UI and gameflow.

If there were more content, I would give it a higher rating. But the UI is awkward at best. The game mechanics are repetitive and clumsy. Having to make many clicks for the same things each day is tiring.

The content is good, for the most part in terms of art and style

Really wanted to like it. A lot of promise but the UI is really hard to navigate. Most importantly though, a central plot device (chastity cage) is completely bugged. Yes there are posts on this thread how to troubleshoot that but that should not be necessary. I'll keep an eye on this game and if it ever gets fixed maybe try it again but it's going into the delete pile for now.

This game has one of- if not the worst UI's I've ever seen in a game and whether it was intentional or not - and I have to question the intent here because I can't understand why any game developer would look at a UI like this and think "yeah, now that's a functional and attractive design" - it succeeds in creating a truly unplayable experience.

I had a lot of hope for this game, as did a lot of other people I noticed while reading through the thread, but I share a similar sentiment with all of them, until the UI receives a total overhaul (why reinvent the wheel in the first place? Just use the traditional UI all HTML games use, it's perfect as is), I'm going to have to pass on this experience.

v0.7.7 im giving this 3 stars because i can see the hard work that has gone into it, however this will be a mostly negative review.

firstly the ui is a cluttered mess, there is just far too many buttons and menus and sider bars. the story is also confusing, we know little or nothing about the mc or their motivations, and being able to crossdress straight away doesnt make sense to me.

TLR i wish this game was a linear story, where clothes and locations are introduced as the story progresses, also the ui of the game needs a complete redesign.

This review is meant as constructive criticism / feedback and is my own opinion, and not as an insult the creator. Thank you for the hard work.

If I had to describe this game in one word it would be this - messy. I think the easiest way to expand on that is to compare this to an old car that is currently going through renovation.

The Body/Chassis
When this game was first released it was a more linear game: transformations weren't a part of it. The plot or body for the most part has stayed the same - your protagonist meets a girl in school and an employer who for one reason or another decide that they want to feminize the player character. In the old version you couldn't progress with one without progressing the other. Well, now the body has a couple of bolt-ons and plaster. Austin has disconnected the character progression and has added new minor characters with their own independent arcs and individually they're all interesting. You have the cute shy girl(?) that doesn't have much content, the PE teacher that doesn't have much content but has recently got a lot more (no sex though), the math bimbo with not much content, etc. but outside of one character they're all unrelated to each other and the player character's feminization score. I can't help thinking that's a nice wing and those are some nice side skirts but I'm not sure if the side skirts fit the new front and rear bumper and the whole thing is being held together by body putty.

The Dash
The UI on this car has stayed mostly untouched save for a few bolt ons here and there and honestly it's been in need or a full renovation or replacement for a long time. It's an engineer's dashboard. The color scheme is this weird pink and black and you can see bits of the wiring harness in the gaps. Look, it's functional but it's a bit ugly. I can see the desire to give the player a way to see as many options as you can but having a cluster or buttons is just no good aesthetically. The animated avatar and keyboard binds are probably the best parts of it. It's nice being able to hit the space bar instead of wearing out my scroll wheel on those repeated scenes like the masturbation scenes. As for the renovations the color selection can use some work - for example choosing hair color and eye color still defaults to the game saying the character has brown hair and eyes and honestly having the full rgb slider with brightness and grayscale is unnecessary and causes the clothing colors to not even work most of the time. The clothing would only work if the default color was white. I also hear from others that this has a way to tie in sex toys to interact with the game. Not my thing but it's there.

The Porn
I don't have an automotive analogy for this one so let's just drop it. The porn that is in there is not what I would consider erotic. What do you mean, it's a porn game?!? What I mean is that there's no buildup. If I had to make a comparision it would be with Facial Abuse. This is the Facial Abuse of feminization games. When you first meet Riley, you have a normal talk with her once or twice, then public HJs then immediately we go straight to wearing female clothes and getting pegged. Excuse me, what? There's no foreplay at all, just straight to the tonsil tickling. Don't get me wrong, just because it's not erotic doesn't mean I haven't coomed to it but I prefer more slow and subversive methods of corruption. It does the rough fucking well and there's a lot of it and different genres but it's all straight forward and rough.

I could go on but I don't want to. Overall I would give this a 3 or a 6 on a 10 scale. It's just too messy to really give this a truly high score but I still play it from time to time and Austin is obviously talented and enjoys their work. Just tighten up the graphics on level 3.

The few scenes that are there have no sustenance to them and the player paperdoll is just a rough execution of Witch Trainer's paperdoll assets. Needs more content to be worth playing. The only content available is for the trap route but even that isn't fleshed out.

Great concept. Many interesting visuals. Entertaining! Keeps you engaged with new content for hours. Very robust main and secondary character development. Great short videos that rotate. It took a few min to figure out how to get started but well worth the time.

Having played through all of the content I could find I would say that this is a decent game. Worth taking the time to play, for sure.

I just find that the developer quickly got steered off the path of the story of the game. Especially once the sorority business starts. The game just takes a hard turn.

Another complaint that I have with the game is the time management part of it. Once you are done with the school content, and no reason to go to classes you just fall into the cycle of Work, People, People, Sleep, Work, People, People, Sleep. You use work to jump time to where you can see the individual characters, but then you can only see two per day while you're working on four story lines. Sometimes you only get to see one person on a day due to what their event is. So I would personally like for them to take less time so I can get more done in a day.

I would call this a fair game. A decent game. But not yet a great game. However I will continue to follow it's production.

This game is mildly interesting. At the beginning the story is alittle bit interesting but the grinding is extremly boring and the late game scenes are behind alot of unfinished and broken content for a 1 GB the content is mostly small

Fun fantasy game. It doesn't particularly stand out among as one of the greatest games, but it deserves a solid rating due to fairly good writing and a sexy premise. The added content is painfully slow and doesn't hit the spot, but the core gameplay is extremely hot.
