RPGM - Transportal [v0.5.2 EA] [LilySauce]

So many missing or unfinished (no art, only a black screen) scenes... this is really off-putting.
The game has potential, but there is barely any art in the game. The art that is finished looks mediocre... like it was drawn by an amateur artist. Some art is still unfinished (without color), and as mentioned, some is completely missing.

Art-wise, this is a really shit game, with only the character sprites looking good.

The writing, gameplay, and story are really great. If you only care about H-scenes (art) and not about the H-scene (writing) and story, avoid this game at any cost. If you are here for gameplay and story, I think this is a good game.

Art 2.5 / 5
Writing 4.5 / 5
Story 3.5 / 5
Freshness 5 / 5

Overall, I think this is a 3.5-4 out of 5, with the potential of reaching 4.5 if the art improves a little and there is no missing content.

Very ambitious!

I love the way the non-combat abilities work. The decision to not reward XP for battle makes combat a bit less rewarding, but is a bold choice and I think works overall for the game. RPGM combat is never really fantastic, imo, but it is engaging enough here that I'm at least never annoyed by it.

Bit of a slow game, for my taste, made worse by the dialogue displaying in fits and starts. An option for instantaneous text display would be very appreciated. Especially since I hope to come back to this at some point in the future and would like to be able to skim through what I've already played a bit faster.

The writing is solid, if a little too on the nose at times. Could use a touch more subtlety. A large fraction of the writing is the protagonist's internal monologue, which isn't really my thing, I prefer a protagonist I can project my own thoughts on rather than reading theirs. But despite that the writing is certainly well above average for lewd games.

A bit too handholdy at times. I remember one situation where an event happened and I thought <I guess I should do X next> then the protagonist said to themselves "I should do X next" followed by a system message saying "Hey player, you should do X next". The game just isn't big enough for that sort of hinting to be necessary, but certainly it doesn't need two such hints back to back. It both slows things down and reduces a sense of agency and exploration from the player. Indeed a toggle to just remove all system messages would be nice. They can really take some people out of the game, especially if they tell you something you'd already surmised, which was the case for almost every time it warned me I should save. Like, yeah, I could kinda tell it was building to that by the cadence of the plot and the circumstances I was approaching.

The artwork is very unique and I quite like it.

Overall, definitely a game I hope to come back to someday and find finished. Fantastic work!

A fun and engaging game. With fairly uncomplicated but enjoyable combat that doesn't feel like a pointless grind, and fun exploration. Cute MC discovering themselves too. What else is there to say?

I also enjoy the art. The style is expressive and the characters remind me of characters in other series I enjoy. Like the MC, which in dreams reminds me of Kiruko from Heavenly Delusions

Many of the renderings (art) are missing or incomplete, which spoils the fun of playing this game. Despite this big temporary problem, the game remains interesting and well-designed. I think it can become a very good game (hence my 4 ★) provided the dev catches up on renderings.

I strongly recommend that @LilySauce focus a little less on the game's development to focus a lot more on her graphic art. At least, until (s)he catches up.

Awesome horny game for trans girl andd whatever <3
Just played the first hour and realy enjoy it so far,
interesting story, gameplay and good trans representation with just the right amount of horny :3

Story is strong, art is cute. Developer takes great measures to ensure you know the the impact of your decisions and how to trigger the scenes you want. Overall well done and I'm excited to see the game grow!

*Updated* - turns out I'm just a moron that missed one of the system options regarding speeding up the text. lol

There’s only a few things keeping this from being a 5-star game for me.

1. The art is bare bones. As the game is further developed, I’d assume this would get fixed. However, as of right now, there are spots where the story continues and there’s nothing but a blank page, and other spots where there are only sketches. It really breaks the immersion.
2. RPGM is generally filled with a higher level of grind. This is no exception. You’ll play this game for a while before you get to any lewd scenes.

Other than that, it’s a really charming game. I like that the stats don’t lock you out of events, but rather shows a different reaction to those events. The story is interesting so far, and makes me want to keep going. Hopefully the art gets filled in soon.

Since i have to coment i will say that this game is good by saying i just wrote 200 characters in a linguage that is not my native evem while in dawn with the virtual keyboard, while clicking many times on submit just so see if i reached the 200 characters.
Nice!

update faster, interesting rpg, love this rpg story, don't really see this kind of rpg around, only hope story update can be faster than now, waiting till my neck grow as long as giraffe, can please proceed faster with the game, want to play the game as soon as possible, if possible the whole game completed

I've tried enjoying it but it all feels a little too insidious. I think it's trying to hard to make a statment rather than be an enjoyable video game experience. I want to play a video game, not read through eighty pages of twiter posts from 2018. Try something called Accidental Woman or Pact with a Witch. All the taste of a feminisation fantasy without any of the empty calories.

It's a well polished game-
Like, it has actual options and proper checks for stuff and events.
This does feel like a passion project that's being lovingly crafted.
Only wish there was more already, and a scene/gallery thingy..
I mean, seeing the lewd tome being used only as a guide to find lewd scenes and not to reminisce anything is a little bit disappointing >.<
Looking forward for future updates!

it's got a pretty good start so far and it goes into unexplored areas in other games like it at the moment hope this takes off and builds a decent commuity but there is a few problems with gameplay feeling a bit dull but im pretty sure things like this will be fixed and future updates will offer more and im looking forward to it

A few minutes into the game and it was a bit scary how much I kind of relate to the main character and it's really well written.

The game is clearly not complete but that's not an insult, the art is not amazing but not horrible either and the combat is a bit annoying at times but overall here's my rating on the aspects.

Gameplay 6/10 not the worst I've seen but it can get in the way of the amazing potential for the story.

Story: 9/10 it's not Stephen King level of writing but it's far from bad and as someone who does write a bit and not great at it I feel a bit envious, so the story is a great concept and I can't wait to see it expanded on.

Art: 5/10 The art is not great but it certainly does not keep you from enjoying the game for all that it does offer.

Overall I can't wait to see how this game is worked on over the next few months and I really am looking forward to it.

Not a whole lot of content atm but the content that IS there is some of the best(most relatable to me, a trans woman) content that I've ever seen. My only complaint is the use of some porn terms which are kind of weird to describe a trans woman but it's not a big deal, especially considering the website we're on

This is a trans game, written by a trans author. That is as glowing an endorsement as I can write on this site.

To add further, The game's main character is written believably, from the lived experience of someone who I'm sure hasn't quite been in a believable VR world that starts bleeding into real life, has certainly had dreams of it.

The game itself is very short as of this writing, (V 0.1.7) and frankly, the combat is only really serviceable. It isn't the default RPGMaker faire, but honestly, it doesn't do much to differentiate itself from that crowd.

The plot is intriguing, Hints of what's happening to your character both in and outside of the VR world are sprinkled throughout even the very basic introduction we have at this point.

The characters are amazing, not just the protagonist, but the main friend group, along with even side characters such as the Barista or the Best Friend's Roommate are written with characterization that makes one want more. Admittedly, some of the main group is currently shallow, but I have no doubt in my mind that there will be developments on that front.

The porn. This is the reason we're all here, right? It's great. The art (mostly placeholder at the moment) isn't stellar, but the writing of the scenes is. The writer clearly took the time to get inside the protagonist's head and express how they feel, in addition to what they're doing, which is a rarity in these sorts of games.

In short, this game's writing is something special; both pornographic and otherwise. The gameplay (Combat) is perhaps a little rough around the edges, but this is still an amazing game that you should absolutely give a try.

Battles lasts too long, but battle system itself has good features and it's probably much more interesting then in most of a projects. Scenes are not made yet, but already looks pretty good. Hope game wouldn't be abandoned

Legendary, honestly. I can't wait for this title. Proud supporter.

The game has such wonderful art and a great story, I really enjoy the characters and atmosphere.

There are even little puzzles, which can be fun if you are interested, toss in a bit of humor and you have a great game so far. Thumbs up!

This is one of the best games I've played for a while, here. Still early in development, but what there is is excellent. This will be one of the ones I play the new content of every update and buy on steam when/if it becomes available.

Story: 4/5
Gameplay: 3/5
Artwork: 5/5

Overall a very pleasant experience, the story is easy to follow and built up well, dialog can be humorous at times (which can be a very good change of pace). Artwork is amazing, there were several place holders and overall a short experience but time very well spent. This is a project I will definitely follow and support.

Love the game; I've played a lot of games with the male-to-female theme and this is one of my favorites, potentially the favorite as development continues.

So, as for what to expect: this is explicitly a trans-oriented male-to-female transformation game. It features heavily on themes of self-discovery, questioning, acceptance (or denial!), and of course, being an easily-flustered subby girl who is absolute putty in the hands of anyone who knows what buttons to press. It's an RPGmaker game where a surprising amount of though & care has been put into making it actually, you know, playable as a game, instead of just being sex scenes tacked on to a terrible default RPGmaker game.

There's a critical distinction to be made here: despite the 'sissification' tag on the game, this is (at this point in time) not a 'sissy' game. 'Sissy/sissification' games are, of course, oriented around the feminization of a male protagonist, but primarily and almost exclusively within the scope of a sexual fetish involving the emasculation of the protagonist into a sexual caricature of femininity. 'Sissification' is a kink, so sissification content is going to be exclusively erotic in a direct sense; sissification games, consequently, tend to thematically be "here's a manly man who hates the experience the whole way through but is going to get turned into a fuckdoll slut and lose his mind in the process". If you have a sissy kink, that's probably what you want.

... But if that is what you want, this probably isn't the game for you, and likewise, if that's actually not what you're looking for in a male-to-female transformation game, this might be a much better fit.

I mentioned before that this game is trans oriented and, flat out, it pretty much explicitly is. While the player has control over the degree to which the protagonist either accepts/denies the experience, the core themes of the game heavily involve gender affirmation, exploratory experiences, and more. Erotic and personal scenes are written with gender euphoria in mind, with the protagonist struggling to understand why it feels so right. If you're trans, you're going to implicitly recognize some of the feelings, emotions, and thoughts the protagonist experiences, and I don't think that's an accident.

TLDR: This is a really great trans M2F game that's written in just the right way to hit all of those "if you know, you know" spots dead on. If you're the target audience, you will feel things. If you're looking for a sissy m2f game, this probably ain't it, but there's a ton of those out there already. There aren't many trans m2f games, though - which is why this one stands out even more.
