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

[l1lym]

I'm really hoping we get an update that pushes reasons for using pills in the future. Something like needing to use your money to pay rent or something. Right now it feels like you have to want to do it in the first place which seems to clash with losing your identity.

Don't worry, the planned 0.17x updates will be focused around progression and will give some additional reasons for transforming.

I'm your biggest fan, Aphro. I can't wait for more masculine aspects of the game, and possibly becoming like Dredd in the sense that you can pill other guys, like your stepdad. I will become the Eros of Summer City if it kills me

Yeah I definitely plan on having content like this. And now with the addition of modding, I expect the content to begin exploding with the next release.

Anyone curious for a sneak peek of applying mods can check out the mod loader here:

And here's the current list of mods people are working on:

Expect this to expand rapidly in the future... I see modding as critical for adding enough content to satisfy everyone.

I downloaded this and am enjoying it quite a bit, one thing I would like to see are more pill options to sell coming soon.
Looking forward to the other updates that have been mentioned.

 

[Max57]

Absolutely one of my favorite games and can't wait for the relationship update.
Any plans on adding random encounters/favors at work? Besides the initial action to get higher commissions.

what was added in .16?

Where on earth did the developer find all those pregnant videos with each growing belly by week, is it possible that it is AI generated?

 

[Jdsiis]

Can't wait for version .17, played a lot of 1.6 so I'll just back in and try it out with the updates.

 

[papias]

I've created a list of playable characters with their data, pornstar equivalent and NEW-U description so that people can make their choice of what they want to transform to.

What kind of crazy people are not online) maybe it's genuine


question to the author:
when is it planned to release a new version of this wonderful game?

Those were AI filtered... basically took pregnancy progression videos people posted on youtube, cropped faces out of them (otherwise it would be too weird), then put everything through an AI filter to make it cartoony and to take some more detail out.

when is it planned to release a new version of this wonderful game?

It will likely be sometime in December. I will update about exactly when, fairly soon. Just now at the moment I'm kinda stuck doing family things for thanksgiving etc, but I have already completed a lot of the tough work that needs to happen for the next release.

That's awesome!

Yes I plan to do some things like that, probably in the 0.17x updates. In future "leads" are going to be a resource, so it will provide something coworkers might be able to provide you with in return for "favors"

You should be able to get a guy's number after chatting with them so you don't have to go through an hour of left-swiping just to get him again. Also when he's in the contacts you should be able to rename him with something like "right... what was his name again?". Otherwise the magnificent number of faces you've got! will go to waste on players spending their time safeword'ing everyone. Because im NGL, there are some i prefer and some i don't.

Or maybe just let us just choose which pictures to include in the game in the game settings.

Also if we can choose the character picture for stepdad among a list of dudes already in the game or unique, and the option to change that word to dad/father/tom/dick/harry etc, that would make this game so much more complete.

Thanks!

Looks promising, the idea is pretty fun i guess, but currently job feels like too much, too many parameters to keep an eye on during negotiation, it's just boring after a few times, the initial process of making a sale by the phone i mean.

There is also only one blonde, only one slim body white girl and the worst thing they aren't the same girl. Would be cool to have an option for someone like Haley Reed or Alex Grey etc.

Also, are there any options planned to be able to permanantly choose different male and female bodies that normally doesn't come together?

And any reason why there are only a certain set of girls to have sex with as a male and no random ones while it's vice versa as a female with guys?

Thanks, potentially very good game.

There aren't plans to permanently change your X-Change body, but it's not a bad idea. One of the principles of X-Change is that the normal/typical pills are essentially the hotness-boosted opposite gender version of yourself. Of course, with the New-U machine, you could theoretically have a totally different female body to your male one, but you would have to consciously choose that other body each time (unless you get one of the side effects that swaps your DNA).

Regarding slim blonde girls, I will definitely be adding some more as side content, although not adding more characters to the roster of 10 as it's too much work (each one has like hundreds of unique things that needs to be found for them). But I have no doubt that soon there will be mods available adding all sorts of characters, so I bet you will have the opportunity to live out your slim blonde dreams quite soon!

That's what I'm working on right now!

Even when you do see the same portrait again, it is actually a different NPC each time at the moment. There are ~100 potential portraits I believe. All AI generated so it is not too hard to add more in the future...

But yeah, with the next update you'll basically get to start fuck-buddy relationships, and even slowly train guys to have better stats like pokemon lol. Although, they might also train you...

Also there will be around 350 new sex positions added, rather than just doggystyle. (35 per character, many needing to be unlocked with sex XP)

We getting Purple content?

No purple content at the moment... I meant that I was working on repeatable NPCs at the moment.

Hi l1lym !
I find your handling of pregnancy and changes in the game really good! I consider the baseline idea of the X-Change universe that pregnancy (even an aborted one) locks you in that body forever, except when using a "surrogate pill", a brain fart. Who would buy the very expensive Plus pills, if they can get the same result (permanent sex change) with extra-strength or breeder pills?
Your solution, which is also used by a few X-Change universe story authors, that males change back (unless they took a plus) after giving birth, weaning or abortion (but with every pregnancy it takes longer), is very good and more logical.

Love the sound of this — is there an ETA on when this update can be expected?

 

[Z3r0K00l]

Very nice game, i played it for a few hours and liked most of what i saw but there's some aspects of the game that i wish too see polished more :

- The role of the femininity & masculinity and identity stat should be more prominent

• Gameplay-wise those three stats are at times completely ignored, the only time the masculinity stat is addressed as something that matters is in the masculinity crisis minigame and in the embarrassment moodlet. Even a day 1 PC takes the x-change pill without any resistance at all.
• Only the sales jobs provides strong reasons for ignoring those stats since you are working for a shady company and being coerced (more or less) to take the pill.
• Along with those stats mattering more the rate at which they're gained and lost should also be increased, a female pc could gain more femininity just by being catcalled or buying clothes, also the amount of days you spend as a given gender should affect those stats. every small action could possible affect them.
• The "cock carusel" minigame feels like an incredible gamey way to manage those stats.

- More control over how social interactions go

• Having to activate the safeword option to take control back from the game is incredible immersion breaking, the PC at high lust behaves like she has taken the hot and ready pill, the intellect stat should factor in how much control the PC has over their libido as things stand only a very low intelligence stat PC should have so little control on random npc approaches. as of now the arousal mechanic is incredible black and white, at 0 arousal the female PC wont have sex with anyone but at high arousal she cant refuse anyone without having to go through the willpower minigame.
• the PC should be able to decide with whom he/she interacts, not being able to decide who approaches you while loitering in the mall and relaxing in the beach makes sense because the PC is not really looking for someone to socialize with, but in the bar using the "meet someone's eyes" option should give you a degree of control over which NPC you start a social interaction with, sometimes there are NPC's you happen to dislike for a variety of reasons and having to bail out of each interaction by the gamey safeword method and clicking "meet someone's eyes" over and over again till you get a npc that you like is a pain in the ass.
• The aforementioned action should provide you with a list of random npcs to interact with.

-Lack of content for male PC's

• As of now playing as a male PC is incredible lame in comparison with playing as a female, there's not much point in playing as a male since there's little if any content, i'm not really asking for 1 to 1 equivalence with the female PC but something that actually makes you want to play as the male PC.

There are other things that i think could be improved upon such as permanent random NPC's but i think they're already being added.
Also i haven't really read the whole thread so i apologize for being repetitive if i'm making a point that is in the process of being addressed. i like the game and i which to see more of it so i hope this post is taken as constructive criticism.

 

[Scars Unseen]

Love the sound of this — is there an ETA on when this update can be expected?

About a week before the next playtest starts. After that it depends on how quickly major bugs get ironed out.

I like your points, thank you for sharing. I could respond in depth but its too early in the morning for me here in Singapore, so I'm just gonna say that most of what you've said are things that have also been on my mind and I do have plans to improve. I always appreciate constructive criticism and I'm aware the game has a lot farther to go to live up to its promises.

Love the sound of this — is there an ETA on when this update can be expected?

I just posted on SubscribeStar that my target release date for the playtest is December 9th, putting the full release potentially a week or so after that - maybe sooner maybe later, just depends on the bugs status. The update is fairly chunky code wise so I do expect a certain number of bugs, and I hate putting out something that is buggy, considering around 10k-15k people usually play when a full update is posted (according to the web version statistics, at least).

Thank you! I got slightly flamed for my handling of pregnancy, but it had to be designed with gameplay in mind. My goal is to keep the Plus pills as the only real permanent transformation, otherwise you’re right it’s a little strange.

There’s a lot that works in erotic captions / stories that won’t work well in a game.
