HTML Transfigure [v0.60] [TangoTF]

[blackdragonstory]

All and all I liked the game, my small critics which there is three.
1) The game is pretty short at the moment, i did the Evan path and a couple of others but they are all fairly short
2) I would like to see more options on what you can do
3) I would like to see more content of the MC freaking out over being a girl and having trouble coming to terms with his new desires as a girl and still thinking like a boy type stuff. Example when giving a BJ more him fighting with himself on liking it and being disgusted by it type stuff. with a few more choices.

With that said, I have been trying a lot of other games and I can say despite my three critics above this is one of the better games on the site. Good work.

Yeah,this game certainly has that something that keeps dragging you back.
The only other game I can think of that was similar to this for me was good girl gone bad although at some point it just became lets see what else crazy I can see in there.

Either way I hope we get more inner dialogues that depict the mental state of the main character.

I meant smaller choices with in the branch. something like
you just gave a guy a blowjob and he starts to cum, you get 3 choices
1) pull back so only some gets in your mouth and the rest on your face
2) let him cum in your mouth then spit it out
3) swallow
that could impact the reactions of the NPC's but it wouldn't branch to a new ending for that storyline. That is the kind of choices I am talking about.

Not sure if I agree cuz if it doesnt affect anything it would prob get annoying.

I did this in a few scenes. It's something to keep in mind, or maybe can be added as a polish thing at some point. Thanks for the comment!

New update is out for everyone! Let me know what you think of the new taboo content, the spy shenanigans, and the mark 1 version of the ending tracker.

Transfigure .9180085

Hey everyone!!

Tango returns… Better late than never :*(

I have some good news, some really good news, and some great news to report. The good news is the next update is finally done. Yay! The really good news (that I already leaked) is that my code tests finally turned out well (usually they end up being a bit of an, ahem, “learning experience.”) So Transfigure now has a basic ending tracker! Finally! Now I can start adding endings in style! Lastly, and perhaps best of all, I am launching a new commission section of Tango fiction that should lead to lots of additional saucy tales for all the people of the internets!

This update includes bonus content and exists in its expanded form in part because of all you patrons! Whether you chip in a buck or just merely support my work through other means, it is very much appreciated!!

Communication was a bit spotty this month but I got into that groove of “one more day” that takes many days. In general, if I am quiet it usually means I am still writing, or more often, polishing content for a final release. If there is ever a major problem or delay I’d let everyone know. I do respond to all comments and questions, so feel free to drop me a line if you want to.
Even during quiet periods I often get questions about the game which are usually concentrated on Transfigure’s most active forum thread here:
https://f95zone.to/threads/transfigure-v0-9-080085-tangotf.14818/page-26
If there is something really interesting it will probably pop up in a Q/A post.

An average update takes me about a full time work week. This update took close to a hundred hours, and that’s about all I can manage without going overboard. I write every day. Creative projects are not like physical projects - if it takes an hour to dig a hole and fill it in, it would take about an hour each time I repeat the task. With writing sometimes I can fill a plot hole in a few minutes, sometimes it takes me days. I still didn’t finish what I wanted to but it is already a new month so it’s time to put something out! No more sleepy emojis for Tango Fiction patrons

Over the next couple months I will have to research Tweego and some of the compiling programs because Transfigure has exceeded the capabilities of Twine/Sugarcube. I now suffer from about a 10-15 second delay on all actions. I click on something, it doesn’t get highlighted and register for 16 seconds. When you multiply this by the thousands of actions needed to do an update, it is now wasting a very significant amount of time. The delay increases about 1 second a month. Twine is just not designed for long, complicated projects with a lot of text and passages. I have been trying to combat this the past year by writing and doing extensive edits and proofreading before adding to twine, because adding a comma takes a millisecond on a writing program or 30 seconds to find it and load passages in twine.
Anyway, onward to the release. I did work on a big Evan update but it didn’t quite make it. I will make sure it comes out in the next month or so.

Transfigure .9180085 - 17,750 words

Taylor is forced to make lewd concessions by a victorious Craig. Sandra Bell makes Taylor an offer she can’t refuse. Taylor begins a new spy mission and suffers an unfortunate side effect right before being thrust into the life of famed performer Ariana Mucho. Teddy Roux fights to claim his “prize.”

-added the first update of the “Ending Tracker” feature with Transfigure’s nine complete endings- using the return to start link after discovering an end will save its progress! (currently “restart” resets the ending data so be forewarned. Save files save everything until reset and can be reloaded.)
-Added a main menu button to the sidebar to return for ending checks and scene checks (eventually)
-updated credits and info page
-added brothel route to quickjump
-added a new Rhea lesbian scene on the brothel path, found just before the auction (not at the end of the path like usual)
-started Ariana Mucho’s spy mission (chipped variation) 5500+ words
-continued awkward brothel auction with Teddy Roux (Thanks Director G for sponsoring this route!) (5k words)
-continued Craig’s main path up to start of the next chapter. (Thanks Director BUsy Bat for sponsoring this route addition!) ( 7250words)
-added some minor misc media (Cho, brothel) and centered numerous pics.
-Added an end/ warning for a continuity error on the group activities route (Thanks MichelleK2 for pointing this out!) I will replace this with a new scene one day.
Known minor bug note: Navigating to the menu in the middle of a story and then quick jumping can break the appearance triggers and make the portraits display incorrectly. It is recommended to hit the back button or start a new game if you navigate to the menu in the middle of something. (You may DL the extra html at the bottom to fix this.)

It's almost like tonight's blog post was made for you!

I have been asked about Transfigure transitioning to a Beta version and what some of the differences will be vs its current iteration.

To me an Alpha is a functional demo. That's where we are now. I've shown off previews of most of the characters and themes. Now it's time to get to the meat!

Eventually, when all of the design’s primary features and content are added the Alpha becomes a Beta where minor features are added and the game’s systems and content are polished to a level that justifies calling it complete. I have tried to make this process gradual and not just have a hard jump from alpha to beta to final release. So every update I try and make the game better and not just through the addition of new content.

As I attempt to upgrade the earlier portions of the story, it has led to some ideas about how to restructure some of them a bit.
One of the main problems I (and others) have with the story is some of the paths include routes with uncomfortable topics before "cool" content appears. I think it is important that this difficult content exists but it is also equally important a lot of the content is avoidable and that the situation be accurately conveyed to the reader so that they can jump ship if they want to.

So I am adding in more bypasses and smaller variable triggers like the recent touch up to Drew’s route where a player can use a towel. Drew’s route is going to get a big overhaul to have the romantic part and the “just friends” relationship in parallel that will provide different avenues to certain end game content.

Recently I have done a few tests with mixed results but I finally managed to get the most important final feature added (the ending tracker). It sucks not being as productive as I (and others) would like but it is part of the learning process. Generally, smarter people help me with the code and then I learn to cobble it together and imitate similar features afterwards. Many of the polish features (even just simple things centered pictures) were recently added within the past year because ValidFlorian (and others) helped me. There are lots of people that have really helped up the game's game, so that's awesome and very much appreciated!

Key features in development:

Ending tracker - a tracker to figure out which of Transfigure’s 100+ upcoming endings you’ve unlocked. The first part has been successfully added.

Route hint toggle - a switch that will turn decision hints on/off. It will look something like this:
[[Use a transformative disguise and travel to Drew’s]] (Continue Drew's route)
[[Forego transformation and cautiously take the back streets to Drew’s place]] (Begin spy route)

Music volume adjuster- an option to control the music in the Transfigure Alternative section.

Wish list:

Scene tracker
Simple turn based combat system
Clothing system/ improved avatar system
CSS toggle for color alt color schemes - make the text dark and the background light if desired.
Option toggle to turn off pictures and media.

There were/are a number of other things to update like improved character portraits and the like as well as some media swaps and additions that should flesh things out a bit as we transition to beta. At 1.00 Alpha I will reset the designation to Beta .49 and then by the time I get to the 1.00 designation again it should be complete or very close and be about ~1 million words. Now that is still an insane amount of writing (~3 years) at current rate, but I am confident development is well in hand with everything I have prepared and setup with. I will probably keep the 80085 (BOOBS) designation because it makes me giggle.

Thanks for supporting my writing habit! We’ve got a lot of work to go but the foundation has already been built.

couldnt agree more. if you want it simple, just watch porn. Playing a game on the other hand means story(to some degree) and story does provide some unpleasant moments and scenes as well (if taken serious), otherwise it would just be a happy party tale. Stories without obstacles to overcome are not successful. Yet, the hybrid of porn and game attract impatient people too, so a skip option for certain stuff in between isnt a bad idea at all. Also makes you skip fetishes you are really uncomfortable with.

... this was one of the most entertaining alphas ever on f95 (& co.) I cant wait to see the "actual" outcome

thank you Tango!

You are very welcome, Bruce! Thanks for all the lovely ( and thoughtful) comments! A little hummingbird told me that the second half is even better than the first.

Minds and universes will be blown apart!

Stay tuned.

Thank you very much for your detailed reply. I will give it a try because I found very interesting to read all posts here from you and other members. Afterwards, I will give my personal feedback about my experience with your game. Wait and See...
Kind Regards,

I don't drink on a Sunday so it can't be alcohol induced hallucinations...

Am I really seeing a TF game that lets me play as a lesbian?

I'm struggling to find lesbian stuff and glanced at this, I saw a date in the changelog with a woman, is that an actual route or a one off before being pushed in the penis pool like most games try and do?

I have not done that path in this game but there is a few that have lesbian content and lesbian story lines.

I'd appreciate any honest feedback. Thanks for taking the time to try Transfigure!

Taylor is a heterosexual male at the start so by default he (she) is a lesbian (kind of...). It's still weird but less weird than doing it with a dude. Eventually around 1/3 of the content will be F-F. Julie's content is highly rated by fans so maybe try that. Sam's romantic route will also melt hearts but it is a WIP. Rhea's route is also lesbian themed but the current longest path shifts in the brothel area to gradually include men. There will be options to stay a virgin or only play with girls or focus only on the mysteries at hand. Transfigure will also have a few paths that have no sex content at all which is odd for a porn game

Who is this girl?

That is Piper Perri. There is a credits page in game with many of the actresses and models.

Yeah, for all those looking for lesbian content - Transfigure is one of the few erotic games I might actually recommend to my lesbian friends. Most of the time when I run into lesbian content in h-games they're either so obviously written by a straight dude for straight dude, or boring af. The lesbian branches of Transfigure actually are interesting and sweet.

A weird criticism I found of Transfigure is complaining about the fact that none of the "main" storylines have an ending yet. I personally think I'd rather give the stories the time it takes to finish them, rather than end up with nasty retcons (and the bugs that accompany them) when a finished branch has to get integrated or opened again. (We've seen that happen in other interactive novels here).

Thanks, Kaorok! I understand where those complaints are coming from. Dead ends suck Even though the broad vs tall alpha demo is the way I planned it, the incomplete state is frustrating. I could add some endings quickly but several of them are genuinely good in my opinion so I want to do them justice. Plus I naturally saved several of the most dramatic moments and revelations for the final chapters.

I just read the latest review for Transfigure (the one about the water park) and I've been laughing for about fifteen minutes. Transfigure is exactly like a half finished water park!

Looking forward to the part with Tim being expanded more. Just a small part right now.

Looking forward to the part with Tim being expanded more. Just a small part right now.

Tim and Peeshi are both steadily accumulating votes so something will appear eventually in the next few months. Someone could always commission an addition to the routes if they are desperate and want to take one for the team

Thanks for the comment. Leaving a comment about your favorite route does increase the chance it is worked on, plus I really appreciate them!
