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

[l1lym]

0.22 has just gone into playtesting with subscribers! Really excited to get this one out, a lot of big ticket items:

1. Purchasable car
2. Huge bukkake / gokkun sex scene to win the car without buying it, but it's a pretty degrading sex scene
3. Overhauled IndexedDB save system - no more corrupt saves and dumb issues from Twine's local storage nonsense
4. A new addition I really like from McLurkington, the ability to see what is affecting your skill rolls under the hood:

when do you think this will go public?

when do you think this will go public?

I'm guessing it will be a week or two, since playtesting just became available today.

Let it be noted I'm horrible at the driving game.

Let's hope it's not long like the first titris.

This happens the first time you take the pill and you need to turn on the masculinity crisis mini-game and you need to fail it. Then the MC will get scared and run away. After this attempt it can no longer be done and you have to start a new game, if I remember correctly.

Is the Bruce/Corporate revenge scene tied to Bruce's Dom/Sub Stat? I've tried pilling him but I can't get the scene to retrigger

Is the driving game skippable with the cheats menu? Please tell me it is skippable with the cheats menu.

 

[VasaraGlyndark]

Can anyone tell me what to do here? Do you know which mod(s) might be causing it?

Scene is non-repeatable.

Turns out trying to store the game on a USB drive won't let you load mods. No matter what combination I tried, mods wouldn't load always the same error, it may have refrenced a different file.

As soon as I moved it to my desktop the same mod that returned an error worked.

I'm going to predict that the car driving mini-game won't be what people will complain about. I finally got enough cards to enter the car contest and even with high skills (due to cheats putting them at 10), the bukkake game was tough (and far longer). Would hate to see it played with normal skill lvls after securing the nessacary card set (which is a task in itself).

can you share the playtest with us ?

I will let better people explain the "Bukkake" game to XCL fans on F95, since I suck at doing such. But in my first play-thru I learned this is the most complicated mini-game, where you not only have to guess what the prisoner wants but how to approach the oral sex. Then how to handle the results, not gagging, while keeping yourself happy (or at least in a good mood) and the prisoners too. So there are a lot of choices in each phase of the game, and you have to do it like 20 times to win the car.

So your oral skills need to be at lvl 6, but even at 10th lvl I was having problems. Guessing what the prisoner wants is hidden in the flavor text, and handling the flow can get overwhelming at times. So for many just buying the car outright would likely be the better choice. Getting a set of cards is hard enough, so at least you have that to slow one down and get your skills up there when the time comes.

As to the writing, it looks pretty good but I will need to read it all over again to be sure. But she does cover some of her bases when like explaining why all the girls look the same in the sex scenes. Shame I spend the morning putting on make-up when the MC get a scene with a older woman who is doing one's make-up before the trip to the prison. They provide the outfit too, so I also wasted money on a sexy girl scout outfit.

Time wise from start to finish, maybe close to 20 mins.

There is a bug/exploit:

After your work day ends and you hear the "cash sound", you can click on adress book, than dyna cas and do anything in there. Then you can directly end the day again with another payout ... and repeat this infinitely with the adress book again.

The recent implementation of the "Bruce takes his revenge at your job" sequence is likely the cleanest demonstration of the strengths and weaknesses of this game.

The good:

• Reliable porn visuals and consistent writing
• Integration of new content with some of the existing game play systems (New U machine, etc.)

The bad:

• The consequences for one of the largest "plot point decisions" we have so far are either a) meaningless b) can be easily mitigated with a few of shifts in the warehouse
  • Side note: what kind of mind wipe technology is that "Facilities" guy deploying to rewire the brains of your coworkers, and make them forget what happened two nights ago?
    
• The event completely ignores your character's other choices. Like most other events in the game, it takes your character in as a blank slate, ignoring anything else about them. And like most other events, once it's happened - it stops mattering almost immediately.
  • Why in the world would my "Office Mattress" junior saleswoman give a single hoot about Bruce's "evil humiliation plan"? It's literally just another Tuesday for her. Why write a set-piece centered on playing around with the player's workplace reputation - and have it ignore the player's current workplace reputation?
  • None of my co-workers mentioned the "big event" once it was over. Bruce didn't mention the "big event" after it was over. Bruce didn't even recognize my character.

"Wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle" is just about apt. The game is a jumble of disconnected, cotton-candy-like vignettes - but it does look clean and well put together.

i noticed the completely useless ofice babes update because MC is still pleaser of coworkers this is the same as before no revenge on them , even breeder dosent work on them it is unbalanced
second one secretary drop affection every day if MC have a bad reputation and it ' nothing to do to fix that even if MC stop doing naughty things she still hear something from coworkers i didnt tested it more than a week but i think it is permanent

I play the game without mods and don't cheat, but still I have days of playtime in this game!
I'm curious about new content as everyone else, but I think improving existing content is important too!

Here is some feedback, I want to give:

a) Leads level: I spent a lot of my secretary points inupgrading my leads to "whale" level, just to get asale with 5 pillable people, almost finish to close deal. On the other hand there are cold leads with 30 pillable people. Upselling a few times and you can sell over 100 pills to the customer. Combined with the "no demonstration" option from the secretary makes me feel like "whale" is not worth it! Only for trading sex with coworkers.

b) Balance of products: I almost never sell SWP and only a few times WANGL. The Good Girl is always superior. It would be nice to have a special bonus, if you sell the correct pill fitting to the lead. Or at lower Sales-Level, you get special order from your boss to sell e.g. 100 "Dump Bitch" in one week or get commission reduced etc...

c) Good Girl sale & Sex Scene: The complete scene from Good Girl Sales are often not shown, because the deal is already closed. When my character is played very sluty, there could be an option to continue to get a "personal bonus" or a "tip" from the buyer.
c2) With"Good Girl Petit" you sometimes see that the request to strip is a bluff. I would like to see this in the other sales too, and/or get a chance to manipulate it

d) I like the funktion that if you are good at some minigames, you get a learning bonus for the rest of the week. This really makes me want to play the minigame and not just let the "fate decide". BUT to get the bonus you need a 36x combo. This is annoying get! Not because of difficulty (even on hardcore), but the progress bar is already filled before you get it. That means I need to let it drop again and again to reach 36x combo instead of finishing it. It really destroys the mood to let the bar drop, just to fill it again. Please reduce the needed combo or make the progressbar longer.

e) I know the main focus of this game is on beeing female, but I like to see some mor content al male too. Something at the beach. Or a weekendjob etc...

f) I think you get a lot of requests, but I'd like to see some BDSM content.

Maybe some of the things I mentioned are already handled in mods, but I can only play in browser. I cannot download the game so I'm stuck with the base content. I really like the game an will follow up the progress!

SWP products already give you a separate bonus payout for each pill sold, so they're worth selling even if the price per pill is less.

The real trick is to sell them after doing Secretary work to ensure there's no demo required, if you're looking to play it safe. I don't like Hot&Ready demo because it's too long with too great a risk.

Also, in case you were not aware, you can check out the notice board every day to see if there are bonuses for selling a pills from a specific manufacturer. IIRC the SWP bonus can go up to 45%, which is absolutely massive if you can combo that up with a big sale, demo or not.
