I've already played several routes, but I can't access Samantha's path. How can I find it and what are the paths with it?

I don't know why more patrons don't want to vote for Sam because her stories are some of the best in the series.

If you want some direction to a specific area just ask

Hi! Current F-F content for Sam is limited to Taylor's dreaming?

Bonding with and saving captured Samantha also requires

Correct me, if I am wrong, but saving Sam isn't implemented yet ?

Sam's content is currently limited but she pops up in a few different scenes. She has about 20 endings coming as well as several full length routes on both romantic and corruption paths as well as MF / FF scenes. They just keep getting dropped in priority because I'm behind and the more popular characters get more popular with each content update so it becomes a self reinforcing cycle. There are still some strong hints of what is to come. As I complete more routes I'll direct focus into lacking areas, mainly giving a lot of the heroines their due.

 

[TangoTF]

Thank you to everyone that has played my game, especially the generous souls that have contributed to the development and community!

Is there an option to start female?

Is there an option to start female?

The whole point of the story is that you don't...

 

[Terakahn]

I feel like updates have gotten a bit infrequent in recent months. Any news? Or are you reworking the game?

 

[TangoTF]

Any news? Or are you reworking the game?

I am doing what I can with what I have. Believe me, I want to finish this game more than anyone else.

I'd expect an ambitious 3D demo in April or May. A substantial html update is essentially done. A number of other comics and things are in the works too.

I want to produce more but I don't have the resources. If anyone wants to support the project and encourage development they are more than welcome to do so. If I ever make decent money doing this I will flood you all with so much content many will die of erotic asphyxiation.

 

[Terakahn]

I actually really like the real porn aspect of the game but I understand why you want to have your own art etc. I'm always happy for any updates we do get. What paths are getting news stuff next? I haven't seen anything from Craig in a while

 

[Abnur_tharn]

yeah I personally prefer the real porn stuff. 3d art needs to be really good to work as a replacement. not many can pull it off

Lots of fan favorites just got an update including Craig.

I would argue that the huge number of lucrative 3D comic and game artists is far larger than the small number of lucrative RP games and this discrepancy shows that people don't really care about it being high quality as long as it is consistent and ideally appealing. There are many tens of thousands of commercially successful adult games in the Japanese market alone and the average grade of art is probably only a C+/B at best with loads of amazing art and lots of art so bad I am shocked people try to sell it. If you look at DLsite for example there are multiple very successful rpgs with art I that's maybe a D- at best. Some of it looks like it was done in MS paint by someone that just watched an anime for the first time in their lives and then tried to imitate it and wing it to make all of the assets for an erotic version in a few minutes. Would they have been good with RP? No, they are good games DESPITE their art. I can only think of a couple profitable games with RP and they don't have good commercial viability since they usually don't own the assets.

I will let reader and patron feedback be my guide as usual. If you guys don't like the art, I will do my best to improve it. If you think Taylor is ugly let me know

that's true. games with 3d art are more popular (even if they're not that well made). if patreon members prefer it, than I can see why you want to do it.

my comment was just personal preference. I like the character models you've made I'm just not sure about sex scenes. a thing about real porn content is that you can replace them if you don't like them. that's what I usually did. I think that's still possible if the game is still an HTML game? right?

Yep. It's quite easy to mod or swap out too. But that's also true for the 3D art. I've already replaced placeholder art that was lower grade with better quality assets as I get better at making them. I did the same thing with the html game. Many of the lower quality or non fitting media pieces have been changed or updated over the years.

She is ugly.
But seriously, the 3D art is vastly inferior to the real-life pictures.

 

[mattrixatp]

Are you aware of the amount of work and skill to create a hype realistic model?

I have a different question though. Sorry if it was mentioned and I've missed it but - will there be animations with the 3D models or just stills?

 

[TangoTF]

But seriously, the 3D art is vastly inferior to the real-life pictures.

Yes, in game graphics are still not at the general level of RL graphics aka pictures but Transfigure will still use the most modern methods for its renders so it should look better than the majority of 3D games made up until this point. Nowadays they look pretty sharp.

I am a bit surprised by the vocal preference of some users because Transfigure has thousands of pieces of media and a lot of the quality is very poor. I've tried to track down the best versions of what I use and update them over the years but I'd say only 20-30% of the media is ideal and correctly matches what I've written and want to present. I don't think people playing the 3D game where 90-100% will be ideal and something will always be on screen with text will be a worse visual experience than the current game.

Especially once you consider that Taylor's model contains some of the highest resolution pictures of Caprice ever taken. The 3d model is made from better quality pictures than currently exist in the html game.

Many of the assets I've already made are objectively far higher quality than the real pictures. Examples include those high res backgrounds, those are more suitable the 100s of images with random resolutions that are locked by the html engine into often pixelated or weird distortions.

will there be animations with the 3D models or just stills?

Probably a mix with the majority static CG renders. I have practiced with some animations and it is time consuming but doable. The issue at the moment is that you guys are talking about realism and making custom animations that look good from scratch takes a lot of effort. For a lot of the scenes I am trying to do them in a faux animation style common in early Japanese VNs. This a method where the scene has a primary CG with many variations that make it appear more interactive and animated than it actually is. I will use whatever option looks the best and is the most efficient to produce.

The quality of the writing along with the real porn images works wonders, even if some of the media is low quality.
Tho I would be pumped for a 3D render of transfigure, because what you have released in the thread so far have been pretty hot! have you mentioned what engine you would use? Renpy or sticking with HTML ?
Can't wait to check out the new update, always great stuff Tango, thanks for keeping the game going!

Thanks, EDIMH! I appreciate it.

Transfigure 3D is coded in python within Ren'Py. It already has about 10,000 lines of dialogue and code, 4 endings, and a decent amount of artwork and character sprites. The html game now has 38+ endings (plus deaths / instant game overs) and 700,000 words of content.

Nice collar but the thigh one creeps me out a bit, ngl. I mean, why the spikes?
I do like the model you've made and to confirm/repeat what was said above - I stayed for the writing more so than Caprice
