Seems like the chicken battle is now bugged as when you win the third round it just doesn't end and you're stuck in battle.
Worked just fine for me but I'll attach a save immediately after the chicken fight for those who're struggling

I would like to make a request to Proxxie, first of all, I love this game, I love the female MC, she is a cutie as a girl, anyway. The only sex I've gotten to so far is she touched the futa's dick, but, that's okay, I'm sure it gets better as you go along. Here is my request, can you make the games optional? For some of us old geezers, it's just too difficult. We just want to play the game without having to fumble with keys on our computers and constantly lose. I will wait for your response. Thank you.

i don't think Proxxie reads us...otherwise with all the harsh stuff we're saying he would have reacted...and to be fair the sex-scenes are tricky to find...there are a few(like everytime you sleep in a tent or go in an inn to sleep)

While I very much like this game overall and have even supported it on Patreon for a while, taking nearly a year for some bug fixes and a single sex scene is honestly just subpar.. Especially when you consider that according to Proxxie, the game is now "a bit more than halfway done" (directly quoted from a message he posted on his discord yesterday).

Taking into consideration what's already in the game, and the frequency of updates in the past, I think it's safe to say the game will be completed somewhere in the next 10-15 years if Proxxie keeps this pace up.

As for the amount of sexual content in the game, I think I remember Proxxie saying porn was never the main focus of TPE but my memory is a bit fuzzy on that one so don't quote me on it. Regardless, the sexy stuff is obviously what draws most players towards the game, so it's not surprising people start to lose interest when so little of it gets added. The fact that some people play this game for 2+ hours without seeing anything remotely sexual is..... not great.
Wanting to write a fun story is perfectly fine, but when other aspects of the game suffer because of it, it hurts the balance of the overall experience.

With all that said, "there won't be any new content until 10.3, but 10.3 won't have an H-scene" (again directly quoted from a message he posted a couple of days ago). It sounds like it will be purely story-focused, so if you've been waiting for more sexy times, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a bit more..

and yet, while sex isn't the focus, it SHOULD be, considering that the plot is about (virtual) gender-swapping and possibly romance...sure it's also about going "back home" and "being trapped in a videogame" but considering the amount of annoying puzzles(the kind that takes time and several attempts to complete them properly) i believe the game isn't worth our time. The game has good ideas, but it uses them as bait...while the dev could have a bigger success if he actually developed and worked on those ideas...

am i asking to ditch everything and focus on nsfw content? Nope, just that he is wasting several good ideas for something that it's dragging A LOT...which is killing his profits and his "popularity"

Yea I mean I agree with you. Far be it from me to tell Proxxie how to make his game, but I also prefer a bit more of a focus on the sexual stuff, especially when the game has an intro like TPE that heavily hints at that being exactly what we're going to get.
Of course, I don't mind a fun story and decent gameplay to go along with it but when I see people say they've been playing for several hours without getting a single scene, something's off..

It's a shame to see such good-looking characters not get the (erotic) attention they deserve. Proxxie clearly wants to create a story-driven RPG, which is completely fine. However, if you add sex to your game you should realize that that will be the main reason why most of us end up playing it. If you then start leaving big gaps of time in between sex scenes, a large part of your players are inevitably going to end up losing interest which will indeed result in lost profits and popularity.

It's too bad, but that's why I ended up cancelling my Patreon subscription a long time ago. I felt like too much time was being spent on things like puzzles and overall gameplay, while not enough was being spent on putting the characters into erotic situations.

1- I mean, the sex-changing thing was the hook for me, among the games that came out when this game's first released got put in this server, this game was one of the few that had transformation-tag without the sissification-tag, so i was curious, and i got interested in the dynamic of MC and Ana...the plot was silly enough to be enjoyable

2- Which is basically how i stopped saying anything nice about the game, or encourage the dev: The updates are like one every 6 months or something, filled to the brim with bugs, and considering the time between updates i often forgot where i was in the game, so i had to play everything all over again, and i noticed the lack of sex-scenes in the recent ones...and ultimately gave up...someone could say that the dev is too lazy to render scenes...after all, with no sex-scenes all the "graphical work" would be adding avatars to the dialogues...that would be it, and maybe making rpgm-maps

3- and the worst of it, is that the puzzles and gameplay were either confusing or too time-wasting and there is no real reward for it..weapons and items? Those can be save-edited in...they don't break the game(aside maybe quest-item)...i save-edited the characters's stats so that they would be undefeatable just because...

It was the same for me. This was the first game I played that had the MC (virtually) transform into a girl, and it seemed like an interesting perspective so I figured I'd check it out. The game actually showed a lot of potential so I ended up supporting it for quite some time on Patreon. Sadly the updates became more and more scarce over time, both in frequency and in content..

I'm not sure if it's laziness or something else to be honest. From the updates Proxxie sent out to Patrons I could tell he took great care in getting the characters to look just right, so it's difficult for me to think of a reason why he wouldn't want to show them off in as many ways as possible.

Oh well... Who knows, maybe Proxxie will wake up one morning brimming with the inspiration needed to fill the game with a ton of H-scenes.....Wishful thinking at its finest, I know. But, should that day ever come, then I guess we'll see each other here in about 10 years or so.. :HideThePain:

my ideal ending would be that MC and Ana will return to reality...but body-swapped, MC in Ana's body and Ana in MC's body...and they would become an actual couple...so i was waiting for that, but for that to happen MC has to get pushed more on the feminine side("traditional roles", if you will) and i hoped some cute sex-scenes on the side as enforcement

Actually not a bad idea for an ending tbh. It's also not that strange to imagine, considering that the more time they spend in the game the more the MC should get accustomed to being a girl. I also wouldn't mind a variation of that ending but with their IRL bodies gradually turning into their ingame versions... I guess I just like the MC's female form heh.
It'll likely be a very long time before we'll get to see what kind of ending Proxxie has in mind though, assuming the game gets finished in the first place of course.

Well...we don't know if the virtual reality machine can even do that...that's why i limited myself to body-swap

So anyone have a save just before Ana x Val scene for the first time? Or for the new content. I don't want to play through the game again, buyed a new computer so all saves was lost. The other one crashed. :D

In the party with the bunnies, is there a way to get Val drunk? She asks for two drinks, but then I can't figure out a way to get anything but headpats without getting plastered myself, at which point she asks for hor-d'oeuvres and our heroine fucks it up and makes Val angry for the rest of the night.

Or as a more general thing, are there any significant missable scenes from the party, or is it all pretty much just casual dialogue and a bit of teasing from the succubus?

I don't understand you.

Sex or not. Those who can't do without, can use the "Ribbed Rod of Recollection" and watch all the scenes at any time. If you miss a scene, there is a tip to open it. The scenes are, to my taste, very well done and sophisticated. No in, out, done. Girls are respected and not portrayed as sex slaves.

The story is very challenging and demanding. I'm always looking forward to a new update.

The game is pretty good, i'm on my second run because I lost my save, still pretty good even after doing everything once.

I only have two complaints:

1) fix gamepad bindings. I can play with my DS4 controller but for some reason, it's not possible to rotate blocks or pull things using it. Also, cross will enter pull stance when next to a block, but joystick and arrows won't work, only keyboard will work. I've had to reset the game because I didn't know what was going on and thought it had crashed.

2) fix versioning. I want to know how long this game will be, how much of an investment it would be to subscribe to patreon, etc. The versioning scheme right now isn't logical and doesn't give an appreciation of progress.

Other than that, it's all pretty cool man. Sure, I feel like there isn't enough nsfw content, and that it's all too futa centered when the main trope still is transformation and gender bending, so there's a lot to do there, but I'm pretty sure you know this already.

Lastly, still not a "complaint" per se, but I've been a bit frustrated to see that there are no consequences to failure, except for game overs. i've come to expect from a RPGM Game to give me something for failing, be it transformations, rape, nerfs, route changes, etc. I'd still settle for a bad end from time to time evfen though I'm not fond of bad ends in general. of course, it can"t all be 3DCG Goodness, but at least some text would be nice.

That last one's just a suggestion, though.

Good luck with development
I know if you fail with no pos escape on sneaking why not end up in dungeon then have to break out or sex happens take too long get enslaved or something.
