HTML Transfigure [v0.60] [TangoTF]

[pandabweer]

It is a text based game. It contains 625,000 words, making it one of the largest projects on this site. It would take an average reader about 42 hours to complete. I am about 2/3 done so stay tuned - more words are coming

In all seriousness though, if a user doesn't like to read they may find this (and other visual novels / interactive fiction) hard to get through. However there is enough content with different themes that if you give it a chance there is a high probability you will find something you like.



They already control the thread. I enjoy posting here which is why I am spending some of my Christmas morning with you all.

My goal is to produce one 10k monthly update and I have achieved that. I overproduced full time for three years straight making well under minimum wage to prove myself to the community. At 625k words Transfigure is the equivalent of two gigantic novels posted for free probably worth about $40 retail. I "promised" 10k a month to my patrons and have produced an average of 14k or 40% above what I felt was reasonable with a full time salary (despite never getting anywhere close). If the writing and that level of dedication is not enough to convince you then you may have very unrealistic expectations since I have hugely outproduced even those creators that make many multiples of what I do. The community largely decides my level of compensation and production. I do the best I can with what I have but I decided a while back that I will just put in the hours and not stress myself out about deadlines since it affects quality and my health. I write almost every day and have accumulated about 200,000 words of notes or what will be the basis of 25-30 updates or over two years of updates/production. This raises my productivity to 80% above my public goals. It's not a simple task to write a hundred story lines at once. I'm the only author in the world I know of that does this. I've nearly completed this 1 million word 100+ ending project that many deemed would be impossible to finish and I did it with a peanut sized budget. I've set myself up so I can finish the project part time well ahead of schedule at the current level of patronage (which has been flat despite my best efforts).

When I first started updates took around 30-40 hours on average to complete. Now they take about double that mainly because the quality control and standards have risen (while my dev app slows with each passage added and my dated hardware cannot cope, nor can I afford better gear). An in game edit that 3 years ago would take 1-3 seconds will often take 1-3 minutes now. The past year I've tried to put in more hours at my other jobs so that I can afford to invest more into Tango Fiction but it is a slow process. It's frustrating for me because I want to work harder for you all but I am not going to burn myself out, starve, or get ulcers just because a small percentage of people think I am not productive enough even though statistically I bet I am in the top 10% of devs for consistent updates and words produced per dollar of pledges earned.

Don't take it the wrong way though, i kind of get this feeling now, the content that is there is great! But with my years of being here sadly most text based games don't take off a lot or they need to be full of porn like the company, also a great game. But at first they stuffed the game with a lot of visuals and later they added more text. I don't like it either but that's the biggest group here.

Based on this message i can assume that you do not plan on quitting and i really appreciate that. And although you don't have the biggest patreon count 500+ a month still is a lot compared to others but not compared to the amount of effort you put in it.

Looks as if it might be time to take another look.

This game will always be one of my favorites.

I am glad you like it. It takes a lot of time to produce so it's nice you rate it well above "meh." Thanks whisperpuppy.

Thanks Tango

Pretty Good Update imo. Tim's Path is one of my favorites next to Evan and group stuff (Really hope they get updated next)

I would've liked The Yellow Potion path as well if the model was different. I think Kenzie reeves or Kiara cole would be better (Just personal taste)

You're welcome. Some of those areas should be getting updated soon, it's just a matter of which content blocks get completed and fit in first.

I've never heard of those models before today but Kenzie does seem suitable. Maybe I can work her in somewhere. Kiara has a very large visible tattoo which I try to avoid using unless they fit the character.

The number of visuals has steadily increased especially compared to early releases. There is 2 gigs across about 1700 pieces of media. Most of the later content has more media per page as well but that's part of the reason updates take longer because I edit and photoshop plus search for matches which takes time.

I agree artists are more prized than writers but I've always felt that both are required to make a truly awesome game (plus a few other skill sets like coding). If it was purely about money I would have quit long ago but there are other considerations at play. I'm a stubborn hummingbird and I promised to complete this project so I will.

I am really grateful for all those that have supported the project because without them the game would probably have well under half its current content. The patron count went up a bunch the past few days so that's encouraging.

The experience should become a lot more enjoyable as I add more endings to the game.

It's Riley Reid and the scene is literally called Harley Quinn nuthouse or something like that.

You're welcome. The "Two Friends" area might be worth checking too. You can also check the media to see if anything stands out as it indicates more content and possible scenes. Mitch's area does lead to some violent possibilities but most of it is more coercion and an accumulation of bad decisions.

Very nice game! I look forward to the continuation of the "group activity" branch! )))

Yep, I've already seen the two friends route, I've had a lot of time in the last few days and I'm surprisingly captivated by this text adventure. I hope there will be an update on the two friends route soon, it could be really kinky
I could use two more advices, please. 1. how to get to the bimbo route and 2. I saw there is a kawaii godess end, how do I get there?
Thanks for the answer in advance and from Saturday you will definitely have one more Patreon.

Thanks! Group activities is second place in the polls (for which branches get updated) so it should get an update early next year.

That's nice to hear. The two friends line is in first place and will likely win for December.

A game this good deserves more than a "meh". I give it 14 pickles out of 11 bearclaws.

Hey tango was looking for the new spy scene thought it was when she got chased but couldn't see it. How do I get there?

Thanks for the feedback, Radohak! What areas did you find most amusing? Feel free to leave the project a review if you have time. I will be releasing the new patron update early to all previous reviewers of Transfigure once the release is finished.

I have seen that the game has lesbian options, can anyone tell me if it is also possible to do a purely lesbian route, i.e. no sex with men?

Yes. The game isn't finished though and patrons determine work priorities by voting so some of these areas don't have a lot of content or hit end of content markers fairly early. The popular areas grow and other areas I want to expand sometimes take a lot longer to update because I am putting most of my hours into writing the content people are paying to see. That said, I have a decent FF update coming in the next couple months. There are major lesbian content blocks that have not been added to the story. When complete I expect about 1/4 to 1/3 of the game's content to be female-female scenarios. There are currently numerous paths and scenarios that are FF in nature but a large % of them currently reside on paths with mixed content so if you want to 100% avoid men it isn't possible to access them. You are however missing out on some good scenes. Just like in real life a female may date men first, become disappointed, and then explore lesbian relationships. Without the a-hole men a lot of them probably wouldn't become lesbians in the first place (imo).

The basic design principle of the game's story web generally works like this (with some exceptions): Guy - "Want to hang out?"
Yes > next scene, not an explicit decision. No > redirect to new choices with different characters and themes that may be more appealing or at least different. Next decision tree: "Do you want to do it with a guy?" Yes > romantic or sexual path/ branch with that character. No! > redirect into content that likely contains FF content instead of MF content or at least different variations. The same works for other controversial themes. I am trying to make all rape content avoidable and give players an out at the last minute if they somehow strayed down the wrong path or didn't anticipate where their character's sometimes poor decisions may lead.

I didn't really understand, English is not my first language.

Are you saying that if I decide to avoid men I will end up missing out on a lot of lesbian content? that doesn't make sense.

 

[TangoTF]

I didn't really understand, English is not my first language.

Are you saying that if I decide to avoid men I will end up missing out on a lot of lesbian content? that doesn't make sense.

You asked if you could play purely lesbian routes. The answer is yes. The long answer is there are two types of lesbian content in the game. There are lesbian paths with zero male romance or sex like Julie, Sam, and Rhea. And there are quite a few where lesbian scenes occur on routes with males involved at some point in the story (like Louise or Rhea and Taylor at the brothel). If you want to purely avoid men then yes you will indeed miss a good chunk of the lesbian content.

As for this second question the answer is technically yes and I would argue it makes perfect sense. Just like in real life. If a heterosexual woman dates men for most of her life but gets drunk and makes out with a bunch of women is she a lesbian? Would her life story be considered a pure lesbian story? No, but that make out "scene" is a lesbian scene since it contains female-female interactions. If she decided she preferred women to men after that I would call that a lesbian path even though it starts with a heterosexual relationship otherwise it is just a lesbian scene within a male-female dominated story line.

Since Taylor starts the game as a heterosexual male (ie he likes women) it is far more logical for him to be attracted to women than men... but the story, like life, is complicated and different situations and decisions push people in different directions.

Another example from real life would be a woman marries a man who is an asshole or doesn't fulfill her needs or whatever and then she enters into a romantic relationship with another woman afterwards. In this case the evolution of her story to FF romance is impossible without that unhappy marriage or earlier failed male romance. Several stories in Transfigure are like this. In my opinion it is perfectly logical.

If you avoid accepting men it will often but not always lead to exclusive lesbian content. If you follow some paths where the themes are mixed then you often get a mix of both. It depends on the path and the circumstances at the time. If you want to see every scene in the game that meets a theme (regardless of what it is) it will require going through some content that may make you uncomfortable. Transfigure is a transformative story about the people you meet and the decisions you make. Both can push a life in many unexpected directions.
