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

[CSLysander]

I love the opening. It gives a far richer backstory that makes me like what is involved. It gives some context to Alexia far better that fills in her personality so much better. Hollis seems interesting, as well. I am liking what you are doing so much, makes me want to play more.

I keep saying this is my favorite game and each time I look at a new changelog it just confirms it even more. Thank you so much for your hard work.

Edit: There are interesting books of Iain M. Banks, the culture series. Where gender change or fluidity of gender is also a topic. Not overwhelmingly though.

One of my favorite authors, love both his Sci-fi and his regular fiction (he goes by Iain Banks for those). Sadly he's passed now but the books are brilliant at exporing things like sexuality and identity in all its many forms while still delivering compellling page turning excitment.

This update is female MC again?

Honestly, not a fan of the input being reversed sometimes on the "keep in the middle" minigame. Not certain it gives a cue that its reversed, and even if it does, that means focusing exclusively on that, and thus not being able to watch anything else.

Nice I can't wait to try out those two mods by McLurkington and the Exhibitionist Mod by Ebiora looks good as well.
McLurkington looks like their pitching to my strike zone so I hope to see more mods by them.

the images for the new sex scenes aren't popping up for me, I'm on a mac and using firefox so any workaround to getting the images to pop up?

Fun game. The orgasm control minigame is a fucking bitch, though. I'll be hitting buttons at a steady pace to keep things going well, then a thing pops up and the next thing I know I've maxed out the bar. This wasn't too annoying until I got a Dumb Bitch product demo and then I lost all of my intelligence faster than you can blink.

I see above that apparently the input gets reversed? But there was no explanation of such added difficulty at the beginning of the minigame and the icon that pops up is not self explanatory.

Just adding an additional line to warn us ahead of time that the input reversing is even a thing would be great. And something similar if any of the other minigames have a surprise like that too.

About the stat growth system. Is the best way to max sex skills is start as loser ? I guess loser 1-1-1 build is the best due to penalty growth on high stats, stat boi like jock will have a hard time leveling sex skill. I find this quite weird.

Sure, you can cheat sex stat but if you play the game legitly. Is this the way ?

Hello ! While using the mod installer, should I be installing the zip file directly? I've clicked add mod then load mods, but I'm gettting errors while in the game.

Been a while since I played, is the petite pill usable yet? Besides that I'm happy that the game is getting more of a story focus.

Yes zip files should be ok. What mod is it, by the way? I can let the dev know on Discord in the #mods channel.

Sorry, not yet.

The way I play is to build a fairly weak character (not 1-1-1, but a high-ish XP modifier), which allows you to improve some skills significantly early on, and then start building your stats too. I'll probably be tuning this more in the future...

Not sure which images are new, but sounds like a capitalization issue. I think I've seen it mentioned before somewhere, but the html and image name capitalization need to match. Either that, or just plain misspelling.

I'm playing this on Joiplay but i can't save the game,it shows that it's saving but when i try to load it says there's no save data

Hmm. Saves in Twine are stored in local browser memory. Some people have had success with the JOIplay app but unfortunately I don't have an android device to try it out.

It's a fair point, I'll add a more explicit explainer for this. I believe I also added a setting in cheats to revert the minigame back to the old behavior.

It's the bar girl mod ! I'm getting a track() error

It actually shows the symbols left and right of the text to indicate you need to reverse

For anyone having trouble loading mods, here's what you should be seeing when you use the XCL mod loader:

Ah, yeah. A couple other people have run into that issue. There's a specific passage in one file for that mod that hasn't been updated and it causes an audio error. Here's a fixed version of that particular twee file, if you're comfortable moving a few things around manually. Just unzip the file I've attached, and add the modified hal.tracks.twee file to the zip file from the bargirls mod and it will at least fix that error. There may still be other bugs, I haven't gone through and poked at that mod super extensively.

EDIT: As of the latest update to the game, this quick fix may no longer be up to date or necessary.

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

Can we get futa content? Even if it's mods?

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.

I keep saying this is my favorite game and each time I look at a new changelog it just confirms it even more. Thank you so much for your hard work.

So glad you're enjoying it! Makes my day

I love the opening. It gives a far richer backstory that makes me like what is involved. It gives some context to Alexia far better that fills in her personality so much better. Hollis seems interesting, as well. I am liking what you are doing so much, makes me want to play more.

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...
