HTML X-Change™ Life [v0.21.3] [Aphrodite]

[Sin-X]

Sort of! If you've been permanently turned female by pregnancy you, obviously, can't go back since you can't use the New U machine unless male. However, if you've had your DNA changed to be a different character by the New U machine, I believe you should be able to (once you're male again) use the new U to turn you back to your old DNA and, if you can get a the "Change your DNA permanently" side effect, you can do it that way.

Also, even if that doesn't work, I think the Essence Shop (Mutatio or whatever?) in the mall can do it, though for a prohibitively large amount of Essence.

Yea I tried this but my orignal DNA was not available in the New U Machine.

(but you need to have donated your DNA before this), and then you will switch back to your older DNA.

Guess I forgot to do this

Having played the game for a bit, i can't quite help but feel it's tuned a bit too easy when it comes to moving up the corporate ladder -- with simple 5 sales per step, as long as you aren't roleplaying an idiot, with just average stats you can easily go from nobody to a specialist in something like 2 weeks in game. Which is... well, pretty fast.

It might work better to change this requirement to flat amount of money generated for the company in sales (and set it high enough to require quite a few sales to meet it) This would have a side-effect of providing extra incentive for the player to do demos for their sales and generally chase bigger payouts, outside of simply wanting to get rich, idk.

Well, I would argue that the quick pace is a fine enough baseline for the current state of the game.

The core concept is that you can roll your character to have really good stats from the start if you so choose, which means the gameplay can be as difficult as you prefer. While good, it is still a fairly simple loop that is mostly just a grind, so the thought of adding more grind doesn't feel that fetching, not to mention that playing through two weeks, still takes a pretty good chunk of active playtime, especially if you're min-maxing your earnings. I don't think the realism of that part is that big of a deal, since it's not quite central to the game.

...And of course all of the builds for the foreseeable future are meant to be replayed quite few times from the start, so it's still not the best time to start adding unnecessary padding.

 

[buttbum]

Damn I need to get a hold of these books then.

I would be very surprised if someone doesn't make futa/purple pill content very very soon. I believe someone already posted about a mod in progress.

So glad you're enjoying it! Makes my day

Glad you liked the intro. There will be more story content coming in the next update, as well as a couple more fun and non-prostitution scenes haha. So, should be up your alley...

any updates on that purple mod? also how are you recovering from the eye surgery?

 

[ashley_1147]

were there any new family scenes added?

also any chance you could animate the cum swallow scenes

This is a good point, it will be quite an easy thing to tune when the time comes.

If anyone wants to tweak it, it's a very easy bit of code, just modify the $level_criteria curve:


It's only 5 sales each level for the first couple levels, it starts going up after that.

any updates on that purple mod? also how are you recovering from the eye surgery?

I haven't seen a purple mod coming yet! I am sure someone will make one soon. There MAY be purple pill content in 0.18b if I can get it working with the flexible scenes but we will see and I can't promise anything yet... some technical challenges to overcome.

Thanks for asking about the surgery! Still blurry in one eye but it's getting better each day. Hopefully will be up to full productivity soon.

Not any new family sex scenes per se. But you can bring family members to the club, and there are a lot of little unique comments they make. The main new family stuff is coming in .20 I believe.

Guess I forgot to do this

In future I might add a fun scene where you go and have to find an old item or clothing or something with your original DNA lol. But for now you can press ` and enter the code:

(set:$available_dna to (a:"alina","cassidy","ella","jade","jia","lana","liya","mia","rae","scarlit"))

And that should ensure everything is unlocked next time you use the machine.

"You can remove the game element from the game so you can play the game" lmao

Oh, no! A person playing the game the way they want to! Quick, judge them for it!

Is there any plan to add in any degree of breast focus on the girls with smaller chests? Currently there's few outfits that emphasize breasts, and no potential comments or anything coded in. Might be worth considering if you weren't, cause once people get past highschool age (maybe college age in some places) there's a pretty even split in size preferences.

Yup I replaced Cassidy with Dolly Little, Replaced "Bill" with Charles Dera since he was fucking the maid anyway, and removed all of the "step" stuff. in 18a

 

[Melphy]

I will say, speaking of difficulty stuff, Charm feels... Kind of screwy right now? Just for goofs, the first playthrough I ever did I ran 1 Athletics, 9 Charm, 1 Intelligence, and I've tended to stick to that just out of habit, but trying something else I have to say... I was apparently unknowingly playing on super easy mode as, while I knew Charm affected all the charm checks, I didn't know it also affected how much % gain you can get by giving a correct answer during a sale...

And, given that, I don't understand why it's so much harder to get Charm XP than any other type? Like, you get Intelligence XP just from making money from sales, but making sales is like 20 charm related checks/minigames/% points and yet you get no Charm XP for it? Like, the main thing I remember getting Charm XP for is like... Successfully rejecting guys who hit on you and don't back off on their own, and maybe for bar pick up lines? Which ends up feeling a little weird because, like, hitting the gym and going to work are sort of default "things you do every day" while going to the bar is something you do when horny/have money/w/e so you inherently level up Charm slower than the other two stats despite the fact that, frankly, it seems like the most important stat to be able to do your job? Like, getting every single answer on a call "correct" and ending up with like a 65-70% chance to succeed the sale or so with lower Charm amounts is super rough when you aren't gaining Charm in the process.

 

[l1lym]

Yes, at the moment you only gain charm XP from the charm-based mini games. Successful sales should likely not just be an intellect XP gain, should likely be split across the two depending on what happened in the sale

 

[Kohan54]

but making sales is like 20 charm related checks/minigames/%

Yesterday I got 230 or so INT exp ( could be affected by SWP mod dunno ) for single day of work was kinda shocked myself but I made two big sales while getting 2/3 exp per charm minigame only good way to increase it seems Secretary job still only 3 exp per minigame or something what I was doing selling int / str stats for essence and buying charm.

Hey l1lym I am wondering what AI webpage/program do you use to generate the AI voices?
Especially the separate caption videos that you create?
The closest one I found was elevenlabs but the character limit is not that much unless I am willing to pay a lot.

 

[l1lym]

Eleven labs is what I use yeah. Unfortunately it does get quite expensive, one of the things I use subscriber funds for!

Darn... I was hoping my $5 was being spent on fast cars, fancy restaurants, and penthouse apartments.

Me too… API credits doesn’t sound as sexy

I'll lead off with this:
Aphrodite - Thank you for being so responsive in development of your game. My compliments as well that this one is one of my favorite and I really look forward to how it continues to develop.

I'll section off the topics, bare with me got a fair bit to go over. ^.^;

(If anyone else has experience the same issues please mention, since just myself is a small sample size)

Big bug report!

Using the secretary as a female still leads to being able to have sex with her. Specifically this occurred for me after seeing her after hours.

Additionally, even using her during the day after seeing her with the red hair, the red hair images stay (even though she is blonde).

???

u can bring them to the club??


also can you add more lesbian stuff

 

[Kohan54]

Alexia can go with you at random like to mall.

But you can invite Stepdad / Alexia by doing chores on friday/saturday and talk to them during it Stepdad needs attraction or so but dunno about number.

There's no events just flavour like Alexia slapping guy hitting on you if you're a girl and easy points in rel. with them if you dance good.

FYI have uploaded a hotfix here, this also includes a new sex scene (allowing black male characters to have sex with the Harley Dean - based bar girl - Kendra for white guys will be added soon as well):

Have some more work to do on this, but feel free to give it a spin. The above download includes a large number of bugfixes and balance tweaks, but still needs some more work.
