HTML X-Change™ Life [v0.21.7.1] [Aphrodite]

[ellestar]

I was already aware of the Bring her Back mod by UsagiTripleSix, the update is essentially my old modded game with new content, but I've never had back to back spiking attempts before.

Just bad luck.

Anyone else getting this error?

That's a problem with the zip file where replaced media files get stashed (ie. when a mod overwrites an img or something, the original is stored inside). It can get corrupted if you close the mod loader while it is making that file.

If you just delete that file (the .originals or whatever it is called), you'll probably be fine.

Edit: Okay, not going to ninja vanish my post, but fiddling with it more I think at least some of the issues (including some of the issues I was having with shopping) had to do with mod stuff, and therefore is not actually a problem with the game, but with with my failure to do proper troubleshooting when noticing oddities in behavior.

------------------------------

One thing I've noticed with the new update that you might want to consider is that going through the clothes shopping stuff is a lot more... Tedious now? Unless something has gone wrong specifically on my end, if I, say, want to compare athletic outfits, I have to look at one, then press back, which doesn't take me back to my athletic outfit search but out of the garment menu entirely, re-enter, re-filter by athletic outfits, then click the other one.

Since all athletic outfits are already filtered in by the "XP bonus/bonus scene" filter, it made finding gym scene outfits without knowing which outfit it was in advance incredibly irritating.

Also I've been having a save issue over the various versions of the game where sometimes my save slots will just... Break? I can't save to them again (the old save will just stay in the slot), and if I try to delete the saved slot, the now empty slot will stay broken, unable to even have a save imported into it, etc. always saying that any data that goes in it is corrupt, which is strange? I'm up to like 4 or 5 of them now and it's kind of inconvenient.

Yeah there can be issues if mods overwrite specific passages of the game, especially if those passages were updated in the new version. We do have a tags system now so that mods can hook into points of the game that don't change, and thus have a much lower chance of breaking stuff, but some mods are too in-depth to use that system, and thus they often need to get updated

What needs to be done to trigger the unique bimbo dialogue and mechanics from the new bimbo X-Change pill? I've got a bimbo portrait, but everything else still seems the same. I haven't triggered anything at home, at work, at the mall, or at the bar.

Bimbo type events happen most often with guys especially if trying to reject them

Any new stepdad content planed?

Soooo yes? No?

It seems counterintuitive to use a bimbo pill and then try not to act like a bimbo. I'll try it out right now and see if I can get an event to trigger because I really want to see the bimbo dialogue.

 

[TheFamilyDog]

Soooo yes? No?

The roadmap is your friend;

0.22 Progression Update #5 – Female playthrough

• Sexy situations with stepdad

 

[l1lym]

Which I realize is vague but it gives me some wiggle room with it lol

Haha yeah I understand. There is going to be more bimbo stuff added in future and lots of unique dialogue.

Yes! Sorry I only mentioned OnlyFans on the roadmap because it will be a source of income / thing that lets you post outfits and stuff and get likes, you will be able to interact with posts of NPCs and stuff and have it translate to in-game consequences ... I am still in the early phase of designing this. I was considering adding some kind of asynchronous multiplayer feature with social media, but it probably would be a mistake lol. Anyhow the main thing would be you'll see things people post, and you'll get to comment on them (predefined options), and it would be set to be very moddable so that modders can add packs of social media posts that drip-feed over time, if you react one way to a post, you can check a few days later and see the next part of the story

Basically, it will be like interactive mini stories with a few choices, which you may or may not be able to fully influence

It's listed as being pretty far down the roadmap, but I think it will move up.

If you do implement an only fans, it could integrate well with bringing guys home to record a video.

yeah good point

Oh! Actually, one thing I have noticed feels like sort of a friction point with the base game... When you get Shift/Spacebar options during mini-games, if you're on the harder difficulty, there's this... Well it feels like an issue, where even if you hit the correct response pretty quickly, because of how long it take it to acknowledge it, and then spit out the answer, you can have like a quarter to a third of the length of the bar you're trying to fill empty even though you responded quickly because the bar just drains faster on the harder difficulty, but you still only get 1 key press of input for doing the Shift/Space thing right.

It just... Feels bad to hit a button correctly and then fail the minigame because the bar drained so much while you were waiting for it to process it.

Good morning ! Once again, amazing update, thank you very much!

I was wondering: is there a place where we can ask/advise for mod creation? I admit that there are a few actresses that I would like to see in the game ^^.

Fair point - implemented! Will come out in 0.20.3. (tomorrow)

Although it still goes down when you get it wrong, but it freezes the bar when you get it right.

Amazing Game , Three suggestions :
1- Transformation game without anal sounds strange (I know there are some)
2- That would be more realistic if there were progressive sex actions based on the corruption level or feminity level (kiss, handjob, boobjob, blowjob, sex , .... ) The way that on the first minute of transformation you can have sex is a little bit unrealistic
3- The mini games are getting too easy (even the hardest level is easy), That'd be great to add more games or add another difficulty level to the mini games,

Anyway this is definitely a 5 star game.

Thanks for the suggestions!

1. I just don't really like writing about anal but I will definitely add some in future - right now there are 2 scenes with it.
2. Yeah I will probably add some kind of progression gate for things but I like being able to get to the sex if the player wants to... will definitely think about it
3. Noted!

I mean for point two could just make Breeder / Bimbo pills to bypass req.

Still, hoping in future for option to give someone number without going to the backrooms <<< Me after editing NPC for over 30 minutes and rolling one on dice to stay sillent....

Waiting patiently for NPC's dates and dom Alexia.

 

[MadGenuis]

Just wanted to drop in after having just experienced the scene when you first bring Alexia to the hotel, just to state very clearly for l1lym: That was absolutely worth the wait. I can't speak for every path through the scene, through different choices, successes and failures, but the variation I experienced was superb, and almost everything I wanted from it. The only part I was a little dissatisfied with was the final minigame to stop yourself from cumming with the reward of a facial, since I would personally have much rather creampied her. Obviously that's my own fault, I suspect could just have lost the minigame on purpose to get what I wanted, but the gamer in me just really hates doing stuff like that. Besides, the scene was quite generous with increasing relationship stats, and I didn't want to potentially miss out on any.

But yeah, this made me really hopeful that there might be a future in this game that doesn't revolve entirely around casual sex. You have certainly proven that you are fully capable of writing scenes like that, and I very much look forward to what else you have in store for us.

Awful gameplay. Doesnt respect your time at all, its insane to slowly progress through a workday. Scenes are extremely repetitive. You'll want to delete the game when you get to the 10th same scene with random npc doing the exact same thing spamming buttons hoping for it to be over when the game forces you to wait for no reason.

The dev even inserted voice lines saying "step-bro" which is repulsive to say the least.

Thanks for sharing! I really enjoyed getting to write a more personal / less superficial type sex scene with character driven elements, and I hope to expand this type of content more in the future.

Sorry to hear you are not enjoying it, there are some settings you can tweak for things like turning off voice lines / doing skill rolls instead of minigames, but I get the feeling you will not enjoy the game as many of the scenes are designed to be repeatable rather than linear content - definitely respect your opinion not to like it.

My goal with XCL is just to design the game I wanted to play, and I am a weird person, so the design, kinks, minigames and characters will definitely not be for everyone.

Just had second date with Alexia at the hotel and had a more standard sex scene with her, only for it to end with those terrible words: "Don't cum inside me, I'm not on the pill," she says. I want to press that Cum inside-button so bad, but at the same time I can't... Ah, the burden of the choices we have to make.

EDIT: Could I make a recommendation/request regarding the clothing system? Since handbags and color-coordination is a thing now, maybe it would be an idea to add colors as tags to outfits, if for no other reason then to aid us poor colorblind players?
