Dev Note: Sorry I’ve been in the middle of a big move, as well as releasing the Goblin’s Pet remaster! But wanted to make some updates to X-Change Life to keep it rolling. I have my own home office now finally so my dev pace will be picking up on both games. This update is mainly an enhancement and fix package for existing content, whereas the next few will be sex scenes: mainly new demo variants, purple pill Alexia content, as well as the next batch of lighthouse story content. Thanks for your patience!

Additions:

• Ability to make “Extra Effort” in dice rolls for quicktime events. This way, you don’t have to play any minigame, and just have to watch the sex animation for 15 seconds for an increased chance of success. The goal of this one is to create the sense of “working harder” at something, while also helping those one-handed players have an excuse for watching the animation a bit more intently 
• New masculinity minigame “Cock Contact” – the old one is still available, but this one uses the same “eye contact” formula, and contains 200 unlockable test images, and 300+ lines of hypnotic dialogue to go along with it
• New femininity minigame “She-Q” – play for $50 if you own the computer. It’s a quiz game show that lets you increase your femininity – you’ll get a random piece of “feminine reading material” and get 5 randomized questions about it. Some are sexy, some are just important life skills for you to know – the idea is to be immersive about adapting to life as a girl
• 2 new compulsions – “Porn Addict” and an X-Change addiction
• New “

  ” – flavor text high-intellect characters have in the shower. Adding this was itself a shower thought
• Updated title & starting / loading overlay, that more accurately represents the loading state of the game
• Added new cheats, such as adding all outfits / all cards

Quality of life:

• Overhauled Wardrobe interface, with filters and favoriting
• Updated mobile UI and experience
• Updated activities UI, including information relevant to the activity, such as how messy the house currently is
• Updated mobile experience
• Tooltips have been adjusted for mobile, so that if you tap-and-hold, they’ll appear, a bit displaced from your finger, so you’ll be able to actually read the tooltip text. This replaces the tap-to-reveal-tooltip interaction before, which didn’t’ work well since many of the tooltips are actually over clickable elements – giving you no way to actually view those on mobile.

  to allow a greater variety of interactions
• Ability to view trading card duplicates when selling at the mall

Technical updates:

• Overhauled audio library that is more lightweight, and less likely to blast a bunch of music at the same time and have overlapping tracks.
• Overhauled the game’s stylesheet, taking out some of the technically expensive animated effects, such as the background floating gradient. I’ve also dialed back many of the shadows and things that were a bit too computationally expensive to be worth it for the average user. I also added code to respect the “prefers reduced motion” setting in browsers so the game will be even less animated when that setting is turned on in your browser.
• Lighter weight tooltip library
• Reactive palettes should now work better
• Lighter weight achievement engines
• Rewrite of a huge number of Harlowe macros into pure Javascript for a performance boost
• Additional modding hooks for greater ease in modding, especially for bar girl mods
• All in-game HTML comments get stripped out when building the game for reduced file size

Bugfixes (only major ones – there are

of bugfixes in this build):

• Due to a bug, Alexia was interrupting masturbation way too often – now fixed
• Goodgirl max demo when completed successfully now finally gives you a better rep
• Company size at the job will now more accurately reflect the tooltip
• Fixed a few soft locks, such as when Alexia sleeps over
• Tons of other things, but actually it would be pretty dull if I wrote them all out, you can check the commits for more details if you want!

Really wish one of the cheats would just let you have infinite AP / rerolls, I don't care about some chance-based or RNG crap sometimes, it's fine if I'm just looking to deal with boredom but I just wanna get off and I can't be fucked with the rolls and stuff after playing for a while.

Stepdad stuff and secretary work being stopped and impeded by not being lucky enough / budgeting my AP enough? Yeah, cool, I get it, but I simultaneously don't care at all given the very very basic fact of not being able to get achievements regardless cause I used something in the start and am locked out regardless.

Idk, I respect the want for some variation from the majority of the playerbase, but personally it just becomes somewhat of a moot point and I can just go strum one out to the original videos no matter what happens.

It's a fun game, don't get me wrong, but some stuff just gets tedious, even with the "you used cheats and so L bozo teehee" popup that lets me know I used some function at some point that ends up being relatively insignificant regardless as achievements don't matter to me all that much with the per-character "storage" of them all.

Man, Why is it that those "you can gender swap anytime" games ultimately focus on the female perspective only? Even with this game, I'm pretty sure that the latest male perspective update introducing female coworkers was from a mod absorbed into the game rather than the devs themselves. Why not make a female protagonist game at this point? Does this entire genre just boil down to some trans perspective of male to female, or is it because every dev of this genre just can't associate with a straight male perspective?.

XCL contains more male POV scenes than any other transformation game I’m pretty sure! But it’s true the player base much more heavily requests female pov content

Can we get some more Bar girl/ Bruce content. Virginity statuses and Bruce actually getting scenes with regards to Alexia and the other girls you've fucked.

There was a mod that hasn't been updated in forever called Bruce Cucks You that made being small sized came with actual consequences. Like the bar girl would leave and get fucked by him and let you know.

I also think that having a competitive progress bar for the girls would be good so the more you fuck them the less they'll hang out with Bruce and likewise the other way It would make it more imperative for you to get back to normal and make the Resistance Pill contract with Bruce even more impactful. The further along the progress with each girl the less odds of convincing them to fuck you. And when they are completely yours or his they will be unavailable and also willing to get pregnant.

You could add buyable housing so we can bring the girls in and build a harem.

I know I'm asking a ton but I think those would really flesh out the world you're building and has the ability to add a shit ton of new content

Because that is the main kink. Guys transformed into girls.

When you play a female protagonist game, you don't put yourself fully into her shoes, because... you are a guy. It's a different perspective and experience.

Stepdad content when

 

[BigAlzBub]

Stepdad content when

Just out of curiosity how much more would you want? You can already tease him to the point where he will fuck you after being a Secret-ary, and if you get his domination high enough (15 or so I think) if you have male callers he will kick them out and fuck you. The only thing he won't do is try and knock you up.

I just wish there was more girl on girl stuff
If a typical straight guy was somehow transformed into a girl... It's pretty far fetched to think they would just instantly swap orientation as well, even with all the hypno/drug stuff etc

TLDR; Girl on girl is just more fun in a female protagonist game ;o

There's a mod for that.

Are there any plans to make marriage an option? Getting turned into a little wifey sounds so hot. That or getting collared and leashed like a pet. We already remind Frank of his wife when on the SECRETary pill.

Also, any plans to have Alexia start domming us?

Because the was majority of gooners here are men, and why in the name of flying spaghetti monster would they want to play a game where a girl genderswaps into a guy?

Ya know, this IS a gender swap game, but you aren't really forced to transform… You could, as a man… Play as the starting male character, at least if you are straight. This genre is supposed to offer you choices; you choose gender and then transform or not. In reality you either start or transform into a female or suffer quite miserable male content without much to do other than quite empty repetition.

XCL contains more male POV scenes than any other transformation game I’m pretty sure! But it’s true the player base much more heavily requests female pov content

So it just boils down to developers without their own development plan being swayed by a group of supporters that just grow in numbers the more specific content you make for them. Quite sad; it would be better if supporters were voting for secondary focus rather than main updates content.

Because that is the main kink. Guys transformed into girls.

When you play a female protagonist game, you don't put yourself fully into her shoes, because... you are a guy. It's a different perspective and experience.

That is the main kink in a game that is straight up an enclosed male-to-female transformation. This subgenre of genderswap games should be like "open world" yet every dev ends up making a linear game with their content focus choices.

I just wish there was more girl on girl stuff

TLDR; Girl on girl is just more fun in a female protagonist game ;o

Completely normal viewpoint, though, for me, all the Yuri stuff aside from futa on female is straight-up suffering due to the entire female-on-female "sex" being goddamn foreplay at best, even with toys. It is entertaining, but there is never going to be that feeling of "animalistic breeding".

All this time essaying about why things aren't to your demographic when you could be learning how to make your own game, the way you want it... Food for thought!

This latest updates runs a bit sluggish for me. Been playing on firefox and all previous updates felt fine. Anyone else feeling some kind of lag? Tried both online and offline

Firefox is known to have some performance issues with 0.22.x, after a certain version dropped. We think it's related to this bug:

You must be registered to see the links

0.22 was performance tested on older versions of Firefox and it worked fine, then suddenly started lagging in this later version, even with the same version of XCL.

Still not 100% sure about this one, if anyone is an expert at optimizing for Firefox I'd be super happy to listen, currently I play and develop basically exclusively on Chrome since that's what I use, and Safari performance seems to be fine as well since I can play without issues on my iphone. However I also made a lot of technical updates, and it's possible that an unintended side effect of one of those is affecting how the game plays on firefox.

And modding XCL couldn't be easier if anyone wants to use that as a base!

The developer has its own plan since the very first versions, it's in his website since then. And it has changed very few since the beginning, he added some mods that he liked from the community and maybe a few features and scenes. He listens to his community but he has a very clear vision of what he wants. Male to female "forced" TF is the focus of the game, it was clear form day one, it never pretended to be another thing.

I understand if this doesn't resonate with your view of how things should be, but at the end of the day, it's pointless to try to impose your vision onto other people's work.

 

[l1lym]

It's always a tough balance - but I never give options to my Subscribers that conflict with my initial vision for the game. However I do value their input and it is definitely a mutually beneficial arrangement. I have never once added a piece of content I didn't want to add, but I have prioritized some scenes over others, or implemented features or ideas I didn't think of. But those were all in service to the core kinks of the game. It's not a hard science, but nothing will get derailed. The game isn't meant to cover every kink, but I am trying to add as many modding hooks as possible to make it so people can add to it and use it as a base, since making the core of a game is the hard and annoying part.

 

[kndaldakf]

question, has anyone made any female / female mods or futa/trans focused mods?
