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

[whotheff]

How to get in bed with a girl at the bar: buy her a drink, dirty talk to her untill meter is full, but her another drink - ask for sex.
It works most of the times, exception is the girls in Red - it only works with her if you're black.

So how the hell do we actually save, I see the option to load saves and create test keys, but no actual save-to-file.

Edit: Apparently we can't save to file. I also couldn't find where in the local storage appdata the saves were actually stored to do it my damn self.

You can save to file in 14b it's not very intuitive but it does work, 14c (currently the online version) which I haven't tried yet is supposed to have a better save system.

I don't think I've ever laughed harder playing a porn game than when you're the dancer and you're getting bukkake'd by the 3 black guys and For the Damaged Coda starts playing. Brilliant also I liked the little "glitch" effects in the scene

Bug report (minor):
Screen resolution 1366x768 windowed
Inventory - Cards - Back
Breaks the UI so that elements are doubled up.
Fixed by just selecting Menu - Back
Not that I think it's relevant, but I was playing Jia, transformed, and had about 18 cards in inventory.

Edit: seems the bug is reproducible under most conditions, so most of the details are irrelevant

I love this game, my own problem is if you play too long on Chrome the game starts to sputter till you save and reload (and wipe your browser). But nothing I can't handle with a free online game (but I will be sending some cash your way). As for the clothing, I enjoy the shopping and the different clothing choices, even if I sometimes have trouble figuring-out things like if certain clothing bonuses stack or not. I did hit the ending where I demo Bitch too many times, but that was fine since I just wanted to see if I could do it. As to making sales, its more time management then anything else (and I cheat with screen shots on research using my phone). Gotten pretty good with the mini-games, prefer them over blackjack now.

But any hints for any of the other storylines with the step-dad after the maid scene?
Does the antidote help with Bitch, cus I was stupid the first time (had a 90% chance for a sell and I still did a demo-hit - head on desk).

The keeping it in the middle minigame is relatively easy once you figure out the trick. Watch for when the bar starts to move, and hit the button in the opposite direction to cancel the movement.
Once you get that down, 3 fitness is enough to succeed. BJ at the start, then save 2 energy for resistance or unless he's at 11/15 and a titjob will get you the last 4 points to win.

Thx... but that was before I knew my way around the mini-games and I just used rolls. Now just annoyed I have yet to make a basketball shot after 3... maybe 4 tries. The one time I had a good roll I made the mistake of hitting blackjack and I have yet to win there (other scenes, sure but not for that). Am I just irritated for no reason, or is the gain worth the headaches of trying?

Oh... tonight during play I had some low number sales for good girl and maid where I just skipped the demo part since I didn't want to low some of my stats for so little cash. I know I missed out on some xp, but the sales commission was only like $40 and $160 without the demo. So am I wrong with waiting for the big fishes or just go after all of demo chances and hope I don't lose more of myself?

 

[Danceofmasks]

Pretty sure you don't lose anything for good girl. If it's even possible, I never figured out how.
Game's about doing things your own way anyhow.

For instance, I did a nerd run with a statline of 6, 3, 9. Played blackjack at the start to make enough money for a basic pill and an office outfit, did the job interview with 10 charm and 10 mind, and "negotiated" a commission of 23%.
In a game like that, a couple of high volume good girl demos will make enough money to buy every outfit in the store.

And then I'm playing a low mind run on purpose because I find the ditzy bimbo dialogue hilarious.

 

[Verpine]

Love the game.

I do have a suggestion regarding sales job for future update. I might be interesting that after making a successful sale to get some after action report with some before and after pictures of how the product affected the business. example A hotel with normal maids cleaning than after the sale sexy maids servicing the guests. It could also show if it affected the business positively or negatively, think it could add even more sexiness and hilarity to the game. Like a after you sell Dumb Bitch to a hotel and now they are having problems with the maids actually doing their jobs because they are spending to much time with the guests. To give a little more incentive to do the job.

One question does the personality you choose have any effect on the game? I have play most of them and haven't really noticed a difference.

Anyway the game is great and look forward to future additions.

The personality you choose simply determines your starting stat rolls and your experience multiplier. The lower your stats, the higher your multiplier.

It really depends on your readiness. Having a very high sale chance reduces the chance of them making a move on you during a demo. Yes, even the dumb bitch one.

So far, I dont think its possible to get an ending with any of the other ones, only dumb bitch. As for stepdad, Im pretty sure you need the maid/cleaning addiction perk from demoing the maid pill. Just an fyi, you can clean yourself into the negatives, and then good luck waiting long enough to get the house dirty again where he asks you to clean lmao.

 

[TheFamilyDog]

Thx for all the advise, finally did get all the step-dad scenes. Now wondering if you can get the 3rd one again even if your in auto-clean mode. Not because I'm into that, just want to try again because I screw-up on one of the mini-games and desire a do-over (cus Cora is better then that!).

As to the sales demos, been wondering why I wasn't getting any moves made on me anymore (more then once I've hit 100%). But then I've been doing my research differently, just seeing how many piilable employees they have and finances before doing any more time wasting research. With my 23% commission with demo, I've gotten more money then ever before. So finish off with buying clothing (I love dress-up even if it doesn't effect the game yet!) and buy all the pills I can before losing to Dredd (Cora hasn't had the pleasure yet, my other character has a number of times).

Oh, its funny the character I had before these two had like five scenes with the Paul Blart-Mall Cop.... and these two can't seem to do anything but feed their step-sis's coffee addiction.

So how the hell do we actually save, I see the option to load saves and create test keys, but no actual save-to-file.

Edit: Apparently we can't save to file. I also couldn't find where in the local storage appdata the saves were actually stored to do it my damn self.

I have now added code to do this in 14c. This is the first Harlowe game ever made (to my knowledge) with this feature!

Yeah I think there is some bug with the clean status of the house, where it gets so clean that it takes a super long time to ever get dirty again. I wish real life was like that!

Love the game.

Yes, as Zeph mentioned, currently the only effect of the personality types is to affect your stat spread. I do intend to make stats user-adjustable very soon, and then I will need to decide whether it is worth keeping these personality archetypes for the purposes of the game story.

You can improve your chances at rolls in basketball by playing as a high-fitness character. You could also go to the gym in the morning, and get a cup of coffee at the mall before triggering the scene, for extra fitness.

Bug report (minor):
teal running wear (gym outfit for liya) is in the store, but the picture is broken.
found the picture in the folder for lana.

Thanks, I'll fix that!

 

[TheFamilyDog]

I did find a bug with a outfit pic not loading.... let me go back into my saves and see if I can get you screen shot.

...and I just dropped a few dollars in your tip jar for at least till 2023 since I already gotten $50 dollars of enjoyment out of the game. Just started a new character so I can get that Lady-in-Red!

Oh advise, is $20 a day + 18% base commission the best way to make money? Having trouble deciding with my weak public school math skills. lol

 

[smith66]

Nice work on the new save system in 14c give my thanks to HiEv as well.

 

[TheFamilyDog]

Is the Dancing Skill not working, cus I'm pretty proud of the stripping I've done for Dredd. Five times without ever getting the group sex scene and over a grand of cash to take home. It took the seventh time before I triggered the final hook-up, but with a jock with fitness of 9, I rolled a darn #1 on my second roll. Shame, the side-effect at the end is no longer I can hook-up with my fav bar girl for sex. Oh well, I was rocking her world pretty hard with all my edging (to work on stats).

Oh, my tip jar is so full but for future versions I would love a tip that triggers a encounter once you leave the coffee shop where say.. the mall manager will pay if a woman or give a free pill if male for sex. Or maybe it sets-up kinda the same with the day manager of the clothing shop but instead of money its a choice of clothing.

I know its a bit of coding, but it would keep folks coming back to the tip jar.

The dancing skill you improve during the Dredd job is actually separate from your character's dancing skill, because your skills are artificially enhanced by the stripper pill and thus do not carry over to your normal female body. It's confusing I know!

Thanks for the idea regarding the tip jar!

 

[TheFamilyDog]

So there's a dance club I need to be on the hunt for.... gosh darn it!

Oh please, oh please... is there a path in the game for a later sexually encounter with your boss? I thought I saw the hint after the interview (and clean-up ), but I do realize the game is still under construction. I had thought it maybe was triggered when you didn't show-up for work (like not cleaning as your step-dad demands - that wanker!).
