HTML X-Change™ Life [v0.22.2] [Aphrodite]

[MyStupidPornAccount]

the action point economy would be better if you actually had curiosities half the time, I never seem to have one and so cant regen with them. I think it would work well if you always had one and they were always something you could do right now, lets say you awake and the quest is go to the gym but you dont go and you go to work well now it switches to something available in this timeframe like impress a co worker or make a sale. Then at night it could be watch a certain type of porn or something. might be good if you had two like a pink one and a blue one and you could only do one each time, blue would be more manly and help keep your masc identity and pink help transition you to a girl, obv all affected by your current masc value.

Sorry if my previous comment came off negative the update is really great over all and highly appreciated by me and all here I'm sure, people give their opinion because they enjoy this piece of work, It's also good to hear the surgery went well aphro

Having two is a great idea actually - it's been something we've been talking about. That way it feels less like you're being railroaded into something.

There's a pretty severe bug when you play in the "dice rolls only" mode -- when having sex with a girl as a guy, and you get options to where you want to cum, there's also option to hold back your orgasm. Choosing it effectively soft-locks the game, because this option doesn't have dice roll as alternative to playing the mini-game, and with mini-games disabled you wind up with just image of sex scene and no way to get out of it.

(reloading the game sorf-of helps, but it moves you back to earlier state, losing you quite a bit of progress)

Yeah that's been reported, I am working on a fix right now and will be posting the bugfixed build soon.

Hmm. One thing I might do is give you additional AP regen the next day if you orgasmed the day previous. Since you “had really good sleep” or something haha. That way it will balance out the orgasm factor while still keeping them more controlled

This doesn't just happen before bed, for the secretary to be effective, a bath to relieve arousal is necessary. The AP system is just a bonus to make gameplay easier for some players, though, and it's probably too early to fine-tune that aspect of the game now if the system becomes too complicated.

It's a valid point, and it may take a while to find the right balance. I might make it so that any orgasm during the day counts toward adding +1 to your AP regen the next day. It's not a perfect solution but it may help things feel more balanced.

Also I am thinking to make some curiosity quests fully replenish your meter rather than just being +1. Then once energy drinks are added as consumable items (they will also add a short-term stat buff), I think it will all feel more balanced out. But it's kind of an awkward stage right now...

A question, if you turn down Callie's offer for a threesome, does it permanently shut down the lighthouse questline, or is it just RNG whether it comes up again? The dialogue when you refuse suggested you could get back to it, but I've returned to the jungle spot a couple of times and it's just not mentioned. Instead, the game offered a chance to hang out with the sceptic guy, and generally acted as if the quest to win the trust of the group was on, even if the player technically wasn't informed at all about the lighthouse business etc.

No if you turn down Callie’s offer the long term storyline is meant to be able to still be followed. There will be a couple ways to get to each stage of the main story including not becoming the redhead character - that is the design in my outline at the moment. At the moment the story content that exists there is mainly a test / taster and once I’m to that point on the roadmap the story will start unfolding much faster

One question about the club content:

Is the singer (can't remember her name) a single encounter only? I met her once, talked for a bit, and then left. I never met her again afterwards (I stopped checking the backrooms after around 30 weeks of not meeting her again).

Yeah at the moment it’s one encounter if you’re unsuccessful but I do intend to make it not that way, so that you have more than one opportunity.

1. You have met characters on pills, but they are not distinguishable
2. Meeting more transformed characters will be a key component of 0.18b.

Well, you meet the secretaries at DynaPill, obviously. No interacting with them as a male, though, because... the MC is the only complete and utterly brainless idiot who can't figure out the benefits of working at DynaPill even after a couple of promotions?

So meeting more of them is only half the solution - unless the MC finally gets around to growing a brain cell or two and figuring out how to take advantage of happy-to-please pill-girls, it'll actually make the logic hole even bigger.

I am doing a "round robin" style of roadmap that often leaves gaping holes, but just know that all these holes will be plugged in time.

... so, finally a sex toy store?

By the way, you should be able to still talk to the girls at the bar even as a low-stat character, you might just need to have a drink or two or three to work up the courage! At least that is the design idea, maybe the stat check needs to be tuned.

The average number of drinks it takes for a starting loser to be able to talk to a girl seems to be over 5. If by some miracle he can actually get his stats up, still close to 4. I've seen it happen on 2 once, and that was with a natural Charisma of 5 and a bunch of positive status effects piled on. The stat check probably needs to be taken out behind the she and coded anew.

 

[MonkeyFunk]

Me too!

Sorry you had a negative experience.

It's not a game for you and I respect that. This game caters to a specific crowd of TF content enjoyers and I definitely respect anyone's right to dislike the game.

The game will always be designed with its core audience in mind, I think devs can get into a tizzy trying to re-design their games for people who don't like the core ideas.

Not really dominant per se, some are "bitchy" and have a few other traits when they are generated, this may come off as dominant sometimes. There is future femdom type content planned especially with Alexia in certain routes.

Thanks for raising this issue, I will get a bugfix out soon.

You can turn on the skippable minigames cheat or play on the "mobile mode" which disables essentially all minigames in favor of skill checks.

By the way, for anyone wondering, the potion shop is branded as "magical" by the owner but it is merely branding, not actual magic. Will become more clear over time.

Well I will say two things:
1. You have met characters on pills, but they are not distinguishable
2. Meeting more transformed characters will be a key component of 0.18b.

The game won't truly be a "complete experience" for another few versions. I am doing a "round robin" style of roadmap that often leaves gaping holes, but just know that all these holes will be plugged in time.

What are some of the most jarring aspects of the incorporated mods? I am happy to spend some time reworking them so that they fit in better. (happy if you want to send this via DM or something).

These mods were nominated by subscribers that they wanted inclusion in the core game, but I am more than happy to gut / rewrite everything and not afraid of cutting things out if they are truly impacting the experience.

By the way, you should be able to still talk to the girls at the bar even as a low-stat character, you might just need to have a drink or two or three to work up the courage! At least that is the design idea, maybe the stat check needs to be tuned.

Yes it will be added eventually.

Currently it's really hard to stay lesbian only at the moment, though there are some FF scenes. But hopefully eventually there will be enough that this type of playthrough will be fully possible. At the moment the game is more focused on "vanilla" sex but just with a transformed / gender swapped body perspective.


Oops. Will try to fix this.

Thanks for the reply! I'll check the game out again in a couple of versions then when I can focus on femme for femme, really respect you for keeping your core audience in mind though!

Plot twist it's Alexia

Yeah i can confirm, as an IRL loser myself the amount of drinks needed to talk to a girl is excessive, i only need two to do it IRL.

 

[TheFamilyDog]

If you go by New York City's avenge price for a cocktail being $19, five drinks does seem excessive. But I also think two or even one drink isn't enough unless the player has a awesome Charm score... so lets go 3 drinks of her fav.

Sounds like a plan!

I agree this needs a bit of tuning, I’ll make it more forgiving in the upcoming patch.

I am thinking as soon as you’re “tipsy” you should be able to talk to any of them.

Once I finish patching up 0.18a and adding a couple more features, I will move to 0.18b which includes a very simplified sex scene framework so it will be much easier for the game to add a wide variety of sex scenes that only require 1-2 animations.

It will be more of a focus on quantity and flexibility so that there can be a high volume of highly varied scenes, each with different mini rewards and a lot of different types of scenarios. It will also make it trivially easy for modders to write and add brand new scenes to the game without much coding.

Went to the club with Sandra, danced a few times and after clicking "Leave with Sandra" the game twists itself into pretzels:



For some reason Mariselle shows up there in the middle of it. This is after she turned the MC down during their meeting backstage a week or so earlier. Afterwards MC has increased his dick size using essence at the mall, and somehow Mariselle is now aware of it even though she's never seen it like this.

Included a save from the club bathroom, hope it helps. To replicate the error leave the bathroom, "Leave with Sandra", "Next".

Thanks for sharing the save file, will fix this.

Love the new update! This is one of my favorite games on the site for sure.

 

[Culex]

I've noticed that Mariselle often uses the PC's female name during the sex scenes. Seems a bit odd, considering that Mariselle hasn't actually met the female version...
