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

[Whaft]

I get that, but let me rephrase my question: does the amount of time spent on an activity influence the "base", and in consequence exp? "Time" and "exp" are known factors, while "base" is, at least for me, the unknown.

Yea, this is what i meant by "exp is determined by the time you spend on the minigame". Base is amount of exp that you get for mini game. If you spend 20-25 sec you will get around 10 base, if you go to 45-50 you will get max = 20, and if you finish in less than a few sec you will get base of 5 i think. Rest is you modifiers from achievements and starting stats/difficulty level, and other like handbags/bonus drinks etc. But still everything is multipliers only and is based on your base so going for extra 30s can double amount of exp you will get for this stat. I think it is just proportional with something like 2.5s for every point but it starts from 13s (because of minimum of 5). But im not sure and too lazy to check exact formula

I enjoyed this at first, but the forced (submissive), repetitive, and unavoidable scenes eventually got really obnoxious. Also, this game is X-Com (bad RNG suspiciously frequent). Furthermore, losing is a downward (annoyingly) spiral.

 

[cache-coherent]

Here are proofs
Losing with 55s and combo 1 gave me 20 base*stuff. So only time spend on the game and multipliers matters. Not combo, not winning. ^^ Also 20 base is max

Huh, nice find! I think that got changed at some point because I remember checking the XP gain code a year ago and it was related to the combo score. But nowadays,

You must be registered to see the links

- for quicktime minigames you get 1 base skillpoint per 2.5 seconds, capped to the range of 5 to 20. So the max reward is achieved at 50 seconds.

(There's also another branch in this code, not sure offhand what minigames is that one for (ones where the timer is counting down?..))

O you found it. I recall a few months ago i was surprised how much xp i got after i lost so i did a little research but i was too lazy to repeat it now. About reverse timer i have no idea but i think if you go for rough sex as male you will get more fitness if you do minigame faster so maybe it is it.

Thanks for clarifying. Appreciate that.

Dear developer, can u release the update already? I don't wanna die blueballing myself!

Let "her" cook bro! Those files from Redgifs are not gonna copy paste themselves! Mass Effect 3 might have been made in 3 years but that was a pale undertaking compared to HTML!

Hi Aphrodite,
Love the mini-games and pills. And here is my personal feedback/comments on some of them:

MASCULINITY CRISIS: Really like enjoy playing it. Unfortunatelly, after you get your masculinity under 65 I guess, it stops showing. I would like to see it continuously popping up, maybe in different grades until masculinity gets to zero. Particularlly, I'd prefer masculinity to decrease incrementally in some more hidden way every time you act more towards the female way (forced or not). Let's say, every time you do a BJ, or you are fucked, or you are fucked and cum (how many times even), and so on, you loose some masculinity.

Sliding Blocks game: Sorry but I hate them. Actually, I am unable to get even to some medium score, ha ha ha. A true looser. So if I don't use the Action Points (I prefer not use them, for the sake of the thrill), I am screwed up.

WASD and Leftx Right clicking: Great. Good balance. Not so difficult but sometimes I loose due to the reversal clicking.

Extended pills: Stats loss penalize too much, imho. I think stats loss in 2nd and further cum could be better tuned. It's so difficult not to suffer big stats losses mainly after loosing bet to Bruce. He can turn you into a perfect brainless mush if he comes too often to have sex w you.

Hot and Ready pill: Tried once or twice and it give me creeps. Lemonade hut game is fun but, after that, if you're not careful you may be turned into a perfect zombie due to stats loss, he he he. Actually you might never fully recover from it.

Black-jack with Bruce/Dredd: Like it. Currently using it to play against my need to recover masculinity. If Bruce is there, I have to win him to have sex with one of the girls. If Dredd is there and I loose, not only loose the opportunity to have sex with the girls being additionally penalized by having to dance to his guys and so loose -1 masculinity point. If both are there I have to win both to have the girl.

Bruce's bets: no matter what other pill you use to challenge him, if you loose, it's always Breeder pill or Extended pill. Id go for even the pills, meaning, X-Tra against X-Tra, Bimbo against Bimbo, etc. So, if I bet is on the X-Tra and I loose, I have to stay female for 30+ days (loose more masculinity). Better than being turned into a brainless mush by Bruce.

Bruce at Disco: When you loose while dancing (female) w Alexia, Bruce shows up. Sometimes Alexia invite you to join them both. It'd be fun to have some interplay where you accept and Bruce ends up taking you to bed instead of Alexia, or a trio, based on some stats. I said Bruce but, it could be any other guy.

Besides, any chance of stepdad doing more to you (BJ, F*, etc) in the shower, than peeping while you shower?

As for the rest I really like all of them. Keep up with the good working.

Ideas for the modders? Not sure if they can be implemented in a mod.

Just my two cents.

 

[HikkiG]

Shit, the trio scene with Bruce sounds great and wish there was scenes with him coming home with you beyond extended pill.
Think we still got more stuff in the works for him in the future plans, so hoping.

Started the game as a Loser so I could start as a Secretary. After my first week, get dosed at the club on the weekend with a Resistance and then visit the Machine (I needed the cash). In the following week, visit the Warehouse every day (and so far suck at the mini-game). But now I'm such buddy-buddy with the two guys, they rock my poor girl to five-plus orgasms every lunchbreak. Average work day for my "secretary" has her having about 9 orgasms, then home for fun with Step-dad.

Her stats are garbage (nothing pass 2), but have 13 days on the clock before the Resistance wears-off. But going to ride this train to the end to see what happens to the poor girl.

Does anyone know who is the big tits girl in the intro?

As far as her Identity stat doesn't fall under some very low score, she'll still be "alive". Then, you'll have to start over. Ways of raising identity are through the massage at the spa in the office, you can win it in the end of your workday as secretary if you make more than 50 credits. Or, you wear Callie's bikini, go to the beach and run through the big storyline, very long, interesting and fun (many challenges and choices). After that, everytime you go to the beach --> jungle and join with Callie and friends you win +1 identity point.

Maybe other ways but those are the ones I know.

Watching movies that your character likes also restores identity, varying by how much you enjoy it.

 

[cache-coherent]

You can only ever get one point of Identity at a time, I believe. All the current ways are massage, hanging out with Callie's group, and watching a movie with >15 enjoyment.

While my girl is a total failure in Sales (do to super low Charm and Int), it is funny that being a Secretary for the day is a better way to make money since its a mini-game that doesn't require high stats. And the Warehouse lets keep her sale numbers up by keeping the Boys happy.

By Warehouse you mean, having fun with Ray's guys as secretary after talking to Ray in the Facility Offices at work? Last time I checked it, not long ago, that scene was not yet implemented. Is it up now?

Besides, making money in sales is not that difficult! I usually offer the 2 Insta Girl pills for the sake of money. They are saffer statswise.
SWP are too dangerous for low stats due to their permanent damage to your stats if you loose. However I use to sell DumbBitch (requires high cum control stat) and Striper. Hot & Ready has an interesting storyline behind but I refrain to get into it due to status loss and permanent damage risk.
WANGL Maid has sometimes, not always, residual effects that you have to sell stats x essence at Mutatio (Mall) to get rid off. Same for People Pleaser and Bimbo.

Hey guys, a question. <spoiler>
In another play I had a friend of Dredd bringing me to test a serum against the effects of the Striper pill. Then, from time to time I could go back there with one of the girls in the bar and have sex with Dredd and Maurice (I guess) to get more serum "shots" (guess it's because one gets addicted to it, lol). Point is, I've started the game over and forgot how to get there. Any clues?

I believe to get to those scenes, you first need to lose to Dredd in a game of cards and have no money to pay your debt. It cuts to the stripper scene, then Dredd will ask if you wish to party with him and the crew. Once that's done, you can go back and party with Dredd (& crew) any time you wish. But full discloser, its been almost a year since I dealt with Dredd and that part of the game.

Its up for playtesting with the backers, and I had expect it to be rolled out to the public already (with the add for the Beach). But recently she added the MilkMaid pill demo for playtesting so it may be a couple more weeks. Its going to be worth the wait, because it adds so much to the game.

Not sure it's like that because I've never got without money when loosing to Dredd. After dancing the first time Dredd tells me that I can go and dance as striper whenever I want. When I do that, I usually loose -1 Masculinity.
Point is, I don't recall when and why exactly that option (Maurice the serum dealer) showed up! Thanks anyway! Maybe I will try by starting another game to check it anyway.
