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.

Well, now I understand, thanks for explaining it as long as there is at least enough content I don't mind missing out on the rest I was understanding that most of them were going to be blocked.

3 fully lesbian routes are more than enough for me.

The other thing still doesn't make sense to me, but I guess that's because I'm pretty rigid about sexuality.

literally this is what makes the most sense, I have never understood why in practically all transformation games the protagonist immediately after changing sex becomes attracted to men.

thanks again for taking the trouble to explain it to me, good luck.

You're welcome.

I agree. On zero routes is Taylor immediately attracted to men. Most of the stories are about sexual confusion and self exploration. It takes a lot of nudging and internal debate as well as a lot of experiences before Taylor may or may not start to question certain aspects of his sexuality. It should be (and usually is) a gradual process but it varies. I think there is more MF content because men are more aggressive and pushy leading to more opportunities for sex events. Most of his friends are also male and Taylor has an effect on people he/she meets so this increases the number of encounters. So even though Taylor likes girls being surrounded by men at the start produces a situation where a confused individual may easily be influenced. If you check out the Rhea scenes

you can see some frustration and confusion as Taylor wants to have sex with Rhea and tries his best but no longer possess the male equipment to do so. This brings up a lot of insecurities. It isn't like "bam, I'm a lady, time to do some ladies!" That doesn't make sense either. I've put a lot of thought into many of these scenarios so that they all at least in passing make sense. Many of themes repeat on multiple story lines. If something seemed completely ridiculous I tend to not publish unless I think it might be funny, hot, or entertaining.

You also don't necessarily need to know or read the full story to appreciate certain areas. For example you can use the Louise quickjump from the main menu to start her story (and skip Mitch's male dom branch) as long as you understand the context that Mitch is an asshole who takes advantage of Taylor and gets her to do a bunch of drugs while Taylor struggles with withdrawal and lots of damage to their original self identity. Taylor is wounded and in pain which is a perfect opportunity for a strong individual like Louise to swoop in and make her charms known.

The part about sexual rigidity is a very interesting concept and one Transfigure explores, generally making the point that some people are who they are and will never change but the majority of people have their sexuality on a scale that can shift in different directions based on their life experiences. That is the most accurate reflection of sexuality in my opinion that has the most evidence to support it.

As an interesting thought experiment, ask yourself why homosexuality is prevalent in both male and female prisons even though the vast majority of prisoners would identify as 100% straight despite a very large percentage committing blatantly homosexual acts shortly thereafter. Are all of these straight people hit with a gay ray as soon they step through the door? Of course not. They are humans. They have sexual and social needs that are largely unmet in prison. They seek comfort and satisfaction and since the only source is other prisoners of the same sex that's where they gravitate. When confronted with reality black and white sexuality quickly fades to grey. I don't think Transfigure is gay. It's grey.

Thanks for the comments and questions.

I speak about rigid sexuality more from experience and circumstances, from my experience with the lesbian community I have seen that it is the other way around, the great majority of us have always known our taste for women, and due to one or another circumstance some of us found it harder than others to accept it, but the feeling has always been there, I also know that there are people who discover their sexuality later for some or other circumstances but I have always seen that these people give small clues in their lives that showed who they really were, but that someone straight can become gay for me is impossible.

because if that is possible, it also means that someone gay can become straight, and as a lesbian I simply refuse to believe that, because it would be like giving reason to the homophobes who told me that they could convert me, it would be like I stop seeing my parents who are very hophobic for nothing, and it would also be like insulting the memory of my friends who committed suicide after being forced to go to a conversion camp.

the concept of changing or fluid sexuality is in fact rejected by a large part of the lgbt community, the lgbt community is much more divided than it likes to admit.

I have always seen the prisons thing as the fact that most of those who do it are people with mental problems, and they do it not because they seek comfort, but to show their dominance to others. I know a little about this because when I was a teenager my parents forced me to go with them to do "obra carcelaria", which is missionary work in prisons, I went with my mother to some women's prisons and almost always these cases were of a prisoner raping another, there were very few cases of couples and in these cases the prisoners identified themselves as lesbians or bisexuals.

but well, everyone's experiences make us have different perspectives on these concepts.

That's interesting and I appreciate you sharing. Many times in life it may be hard to accept certain possibilities if they clash with your world view. I'd still try to keep an open mind. The ideas might still be true or at least partly so even if they are painful to accept. There is a lot of science that suggest sexuality is very fluid up until an initial imprinting and sexual awakening around puberty. Once that point is past changing it is pretty unlikely at least on paper. The camps and such are stupid, ineffectual, and barbaric.

There is evidence against genetic homosexuality, for example numerous identical twins have identical genes but different sexual orientations. This points to environmental factors which is what my story is largely about. What appears to be the most accurate predictor from my research and conversations with lots of gay and straight people is that their sexuality is informed by their environment early on and the first major defining thing they become attracted to. A lot of factors can inform this choice since the first time a youth experiences deep arousal is pretty random and can be prompted by many things. Individuals have different hormone levels and experiences. It could be men or women, it could be pushed by TV, a cartoon, a teacher, anything really positive or negative, feelings, etc. Some people get panty fetishes because they steal a pair out of curiosity and that peaks arousal and dopamine so they do it again, years later it may morph into an obsession where they can only orgasm if panties are involved. That moment of sexual awakening seems to be tied with life, so I believe it is possible that a young girl could develop down two different paths if that moment of awakening was in a girl's dorm with a female focus vs a mixed one with a male focus. In a scenario where the men are lackluster and the girls are impressive, I believe the chances of a lesbian preference would increase significantly. I believe it's perfectly logical and tied to the chemicals in our brains rather than a random gay cosmic lottery that doles out permanent orientations from birth.

Imagine a world where all the men disappear. The huge straight majority isn't going to give up sex or hugs or kisses. Almost assuredly this would lead to a huge growth in lesbian relationships but from your perspective that would be impossible because everyone is permanently locked in place with a pre classified orientation marker. This doesn't fit the evidence or science and it undermines growth and experience. People will explore throughout life and many beliefs and personalities shift and evolve. Lesbians are more common in places with low or no stigma, like on the Isle of Lesbos. This is environmental. Another similar example is religion. Many people claim their specific sect they were born into is the one true religion and the 100,000 plus other religions are wrong. People will point to a baby and call it a Muslim baby or a Christian baby even though the baby's beliefs are unseen and unformed. They aren't taught about all the religions and then allowed to pick one they prefer, they get their parent's religion rammed down their throat and will adopt it with a very high %. Later on in life if they explore other religions and investigate the numerous contradictions that exist its quite possible many become agnostic or atheist even though they originally claimed themselves to be unmalleable and devout. Most commonly though they will adopt that religion or identity and defend it and all of its contradictions to the grave. I think it would be impossible for some of my Muslim friends to promote Shariah law and Islam in north America if they had been raised in a different environment where they either didn't learn about it or were shown many different sides in a fair manner.

This is getting quite a bit off topic though so if you have some studies you'd like to share feel free to pm them to me. Thanks for the conversation!

I don't have a set release schedule. I usually release patron updates 2-3 weeks after the patrons get it. .54 will probably be public on the 5th of February. I also intend to release early access to reviewers on this thread but I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to that yet. That intention might get bumped to .55.

.54 is the best technical release so far if anyone is interested in supporting the game. It includes a huge game changer with the save renaming feature allowing much greater organizational control of the game's many story branches plus new content and other UI features.

Hi Tango Friends! I’m pretty happy with this release except for how long it took to complete. We got some new content, two new endings, and some important quality of life UI upgrades! Plus one of my favorite areas (Ryan’s path) got a major overhaul with hundreds of edits and many pieces of new media.

Ryan’s area went from having very little media (and a lot of typos) to clean reading with nearly something on every page. I think it’s a big upgrade especially with most of the immersion breaking typos quashed so let me know what you think. If you were a fan or have never checked out the route, now is a good time!

As for UI upgrades, you can now name your own save game files instead of using the passage titles! So that’s sweet since I realize quite a few passage titles make it unclear who the scene is with or where it is in the story so it made some scenes somewhat hard to find given the size of the story and number of save slots. This feature should help people who want greater organization and control over their saves and scene recall. So now you can be like “Evan route - stupid fish ghost scene”, “Damien ending branch”, “Rhea and Taylor best scene!”, “Ryan ambrosia bj”, or “evidence of Tango’s growing insanity” instead of whatever their semi random title used to be (which was based off of the final linked section of the previous passage, generally the last sentence or a fragment of it). As a surprise bonus, existing save games are unaffected!

Next up we have a toggle to change the game’s color scheme between light and dark themes, which should improve the readability for those with a preference. It definitely gives the overall appearance quite a different feel and might help some who get tired eyes while reading. I thought it might be neat to use the light background for happy or lighthearted areas and the dark for the more distressing areas but I will leave that up to readers since it might indicate spoilers.

Then we have a major upgrade to the game’s sound system including a volume control slider and a setup so I can add my own background music eventually. Maybe one day Transfigure will have full voice overs but for now that’s still just a hummingbird pipe dream. I primarily added this sound update because the Transfigure Alternative section has loads of loud music that had no way of adjusting it which was a more annoying setup than the rest of the game which has all videos muted by default until a player right clicks and unmutes. This is an adult game so I didn’t want it to be like silent, silent, LOUD PORN MOANS!!! Because that can be awkward for certain reading / fapping situations especially if you have roommates or family. Just like the story, I want players to be in control.

A special thanks to HiEv from TFGS for helping me get most of these new systems working! Transfigure now has all of the beta systems on my wishlist in place except for some cosmetic character display stuff and an unnecessary battle system. Both of those are probably not feasible to add at this point in development but I am still experimenting. The rest of the game is just going to be loads of content and endings that should make the project stand out even more.

As a side note I did use a small portion of the monthly game dev budget to pay for some assistance troubleshooting the new code upgrades. Next up in priorities are some basic cover and promo art and a PC upgrade so that I can speed up some of the tortuously slow areas of development.

I have also updated the TFGS site with new screenshots and posted them on f95 and TFGS if anyone is interested. (

In other good news for mobile users and people who hate downloading shit, there is a new play online link available here for .53: (

As is often the case when I have many plates spinning at the same time, some content is getting rolled over into .55 and .56. I also have a head start on .57, .58, and .59 so this year should be a lot more outwardly productive in terms of releases than last year. I got a lot done in 2021 behind the scenes so I’m excited to share a lot of new content and give some of the lagging vote winners their due. I will try and do a status post around before the next update to let everyone know where I am at with various stories that are in development.

I also found a new writing method where I dip my needle-like beak into an ink well and then write with that and it’s been going great!

As always, thanks for your generosity and patience.

<3 Tango

how do you get futa؟

how do you get futa؟

Depends on what Futa is to you? I doubt this game has such characters, but it has been a while since I last played.

I apparently had to restart as my save is gone. Oh well. Also, it seems the option to look for more info at school is still under development, from the start of the game. Does anyone have a sort of guide for each scenario of sorts?

 

[Pilluah]

It got all the tags I like then I read "TFGame".
God dammit.

Yeah. I don't mind that TF games or the site exist, i just wish there would be popular sites for other kinks too. Also one of my favorite games, Girl Life, does come from TF games.

If someone knows popular game sites for other kinks, i would be interested.

There is an ending list on the main page and a partial walkthrough on TFGS. There are around 30 endings in game. For the sake of completionists and the overall broad themes of the project there will be some minor futa/shemale content but it isn't the primary focus of the game nor is there any in the story at the moment. There are some dildo and strap-on scenes though. You can ask if you are looking for something specific since the routes and characters have widely different themes.

I think the save file is based on the folder location so it is possible to access old saves if you can remember where it was. You can also save to disk and transfer them too. Your endings are unlocked to save files, not game unlocked like most VNs. So you keep one primary file to unlock all the endings if so inclined.

There are a bunch of small ones but what generally happens is most games get pushed to multi genre sites like F95 since they post anything and have access to a lot of content, a big audience, and tags to organize it all. So chances are you can find a lot of niche games from other sites here, you just have to search for it.

Is there a guide as to how to hit all the current endings? Or is using the Quickjump menu the only way?

 

[TangoTF]

Is there a guide as to how to hit all the current endings? Or is using the Quickjump menu the only way?

The quickjump just allows you to skip ahead to certain points to tag multiple endings and get to different areas from a given save game kind of like opening a chapter in a book. If you want to get all the endings it's helpful to use the one to jump to the first decision tree or use the Yellow Potion one to get credit for multiple endings in Damien's path etc.

I started a walkthrough years ago but it is quite outdated now and just points out some of the earliest routes (It is on the TFGS page listed in my sig). I also posted the story map recently if you go back in the posts, it shows off the size and location of the main story blocks. I intend to update the walkthrough eventually but I've always felt that writing endings so the stories have a place to go is of a higher priority than pointing out exactly where those endings are. It didn't really make sense early on to make a walkthrough when there was only a couple endings and major branches but now there is around thirty out of a hundred plus endings as well as a lot of areas with a lot of content but no conclusion. The game is up to 640,000 words which is... a lot. So one day either the community or myself will make a full walkthrough for every ending. Exploring is part of the fun and there are a lot of unexpected directions life can take!

Let us know if you get stuck. Lots of the endings are marked so easy to track down (ie, Drew's is on Drew's route etc).

Hey everyone I am making a walkthrough that I will try to update a little bit every day. It is no where near completed. I only have part of Drew's path (kinda ran out of time today) will try to make some more time tonight anyways here is the link. If you want to help contribut just send me a message if not check back periodically for updates

UPDATE 2/21
Sorry guys i have to get ready for work right now I got almost all of Drew's path completed. Once I have Drews path completed I am going to go back and work on all of the branches from his path. Future plans include downsizing the tree and having each branch in its own seperate sheet, but that won't be till I have completed majority of the walkthrough. Also, if anyone has any suggestions on a better way to share the file or a better program to use I am open to suggestions otherwise it is going to stay like this. I have also attached the file so you can directly download it and edit on your own if you want.

UPDATE 2/27
Sorry got busy with work. Anyways I have added Endings 15 and 17. I have also started Craigs Path and completed all content for the Zen Master (incomplete path). Anyways after next week when work slows down I plan on updating this more often.

Hi, i was wondering if besides the Teddy ending with the Father, will there be any content for the player's Grandfather?

Not sure what the Grandfather could do though since he'd be too old, i was thinking a story where Taylor decides to move out to her Grandfather's in place to sort her predicament out. Taylor's nanomachines get into her Grandfather through a kiss, with a woman he thinks is his late wife. The nanomachines then transform the dementia suffering man over time, slowly becoming younger, but different, since his memories are shot. The DIFFERENT part, could be up to the player, as Taylor could suggest to her Grandfather what he was/is as he transforms back to his different younger self.

I suggest the above as the starting point for Taylor's Grandfather route because i read in one of Taylor's paths that she could transform if it was her will, so what if the person had no hold on reality in the first place, he would transform immediately, and to whatever was suggested if they had no memory. Maybe he thinks he has a family with his wife again and she experiences vastly accelerated pregnancies, or maybe he remembers an old fling and tries to hide their relationship from his wife. But generally speaking, a story where Taylor experiences her new sexuality through the conservative lens of her late Grandmother, or the more carefree lens of his old fling or of other women he encountered.

2nd suggestion.

This is simpler,
I was also thinking of a story path where the character decides to go it alone rather then have her friends help her, and find a place to live, then deals with the shenanigans of a lack of rental affordability and the sexual encounters with Landlords that result if the player makes the decision to 'use Taylor's guns' in said situations. So she could work/try to find a cure or be tempted with the offer to drastically reduce her rent while also trying to avoid the fate of her hot roommate who also has a growing belly bump.

Not sure what personality the Landlord is supposed to have though, i find the Mitch path to be pretty hot so maybe something similar but not so heavy on the drugs, or the gangbangs, etc. Maybe a threesome with her roommate, but generally more conservative than the Mitch path mentioned in the previous sentence. Maybe she finds a perverse comfort in security and starts realising it's making her more submissive to his demands which slowly become her desires as time goes by. or maybe she saves the roommate and helps her through an abortion and gives the Landlord his comeuppance and maybe she or her roommate get ownership of the place.

Also, 3rd suggestion. Would there be a way to make the character names changeable in the future by any chance?
