Wow, amazing game!

ShunRenHu

Hi Westan, I trapped and locked in Female Bimbo State, Would you mind telling me how do I move out of Female Bimbo State ?

trz12129

Awesome, thanks!

TheMGA

I think that that may be true, but also if you were to suddenly change them you'd have pushback for the first release but the audience would adapt over time. If it's something you're considering the earlier it's changed the better. But there's no reason they need to be changed (aside from possible future legality issues)

Rogue

ok thats cool... also are you going to do anything with the pregnancy system

Westane

To be clear, the strapon turns Ava into a futa (she has both sets of genitals). To actually answer your question, maybe in the distant future, but that would be well after the story's been concluded.

Rogue

nice... also are you going to give the option to make the all the staff trans/shemale?

Westane

I have, but I also kind of feel that the names have sort of... stuck. What I may end up doing is allowing the player to choose new names.

Westane

Definitely something I want to do. No timeframe for that, though.

Rogue

loving your game. keep up the good work.. Also i was wondering if you were going to implement being able to change Dakota into a shemale/Trans like you can do with the mother??

TheMGA

Really looking forward to the Sophie Dee content coming in the 5.4 update. It's really one of my most interested in areas. As a random side question: where we're moving into custom artwork, assuming to avoid legal trouble as well as add more flexibility with content, have you put thought into renaming characters to be unique names and not that of the porn stars, as is the case with Sophie Dee? Just curious.

Westane

Well, good news is that I'll be releasing the local version of the game tomorrow so you're free to replace the images. Bad news is that you probably just opened yourself up to an onslaught of commends regarding your sister's similarity to Natalie Mars.

Malarky Malarkson

I really hope so; the trans one looks like my sister and it's creepier than hell.

Westane

The previous roadmap still stands. Once I can see clearly enough beyond it, I'll post a new one! <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/updated-roadmap-18285794">https://www.patreon.com/posts/updated-roadmap-18285794</a>

JMKarlsson

Hi I have a question can you post an updated roadmap for future development?

Twisted Kidney

Penicorns!

TheMGA

I think ideally we're moving into the paper doll avatar system eventually so this may become a non-issue in the future.

Westane

Chris and John, obvs

Westane

This is something I'll be looking into for the followup update, for sure!

Twisted Kidney

You're a saint! A dirty, dirty saint! Who will we be able to put magic wangs on? I mean, if you wanted to let that out.

Vyncent Wimer

Will there be a way to use the old Shemale photo for the character instead of the trans one if you have big tits? It's a lot sexier of an image.

Westane

Thanks, I'll be looking into both of these.

trz12129

Previously, there were lock-ins for sissy and lock-ins for bimbo. Will there ever be something like that for the sissy/bimbo/trans? It's a pretty difficult and tenuous state to maintain. Also, a lot of sex interactions were reducing arousal when in the SBT state as opposed to increasing it like bimbo should.

Westane

System update.

H.P Fuckcraft

so is this just a system update or will there be some story added as well?

Gurt

Westane, you are the best!

Belly97

Yeah I'm looking forward to that too, although I would like it if you could get 2 strapons, one for Dakota and Ava.

Twisted Kidney

I love the idea of the PC being able to trigger a sort of inescapable "bad end" (bad end may be super wonderful) that plays out over the course of the game. I may not like dom-John because of his cruelty but I really love the concept. The idea that Ava, Penny, Dakota, Tasha, Sophie, or Diana could all enter a similar state sounds really great. Any of them sort of taking over the game and changing the content the way dom-John does currently would be crazy awesome. Each one of them making sure the others are all aware of who owns you.

Westane

Eventually yes I do!

centerflag982

I don't even mind not having the option for the player as long as I eventually get the chance to put that strapon on Dakota ;)

Gurt

Uhhh i am looking forward to this Patch. May i ask something kinda unrelated? Do you plan on making it possible to give the "magic dick dildo" to someone else except Mom? That would be awesome too!

centerflag982

And even better, they (I assume) won't be explicitly described as fakes! Always did think it odd that the PC's body was somehow able to generate silicone :P

Althalus

Looking forward too it!

Westane

There were some things that made this difficult, so I'm looking for a more elegant way to handle these transformations. In the past, Sissy/Bimbo transformations were based on arbitrary TF variables. Now, one's based on Arousal and the other on Dominance. Subverting those transformations and resetting those values felt awkward. Both states are more difficult to fall into as opposed to the traps they used to be, so it shouldn't be as bad unless you're deliberately going that direction. I'll be collecting feedback this, and if I come up with a last second solution to slip in before Wednesday then so be it :)

Danaume Rook

Works for me. ^.^

Westane

Yes, in the sense that you'll be able to play a female character with no chest and, eventually, a male hairstyle.

Danaume Rook

Will there very be F2M aka: C-boys in the game? A guy with a pussy instead of boy bits?

TheMGA

Since Bimbo and Sissy can't be avoided anymore by force, are the requirements for these states easily available within the game? Either in the tutorial or a help area? It would be nice to know where the "danger" areas are when we play :)

thelandcruzer

With the 5. Update sounds like it's really a new game. Based on the old one I liked the way it was going. The new way sounds great to. One thing I miss is if you don't make the serum in ch 1 Penny makes it. I would like to see a game over at that point with Ava, Dakota, Penny, and player (if female) being trained. I know I'm a compltist.

Belly97

Ok thanks that makes sense. Either way really looking forward to it when it happens.

Nevenga Games

Have you considered a transformation for high domination? Also combos could be fun like dom bimbo?

Westane

Sure, so every event in the game is written in a sort of linear priority system: Is the player a sissy? Or is the player in chastity? Or does the player have a penis? They do have a penis? Are they submissive? No? Are the Dominant? Or, then, is the player a female? Some of these checks can go on for miles, but what they basically boil down to is "Does the player have a penis or a vagina?" then works down from there. To check for futa content (Does the player have a penis AND a vagina?" means it's own tree of checks, as a futa state can be in chastity, pregnant, vaginally plugged, anally plugged, a sissy, and a bimbo, or any combination thereof! So basically, it means a massive writing initiative to all existing events in the game.

Belly97

What were some of the complications?

Westane

Right now it's just for the player to pretend. The tail plugs function mechanically like any other anal toy, but you won't see them explicitly mentioned. THAT SAID, they're there for a reason, and when I get around to taking another pass at the wardrobe in the future, you'll see these kinds of things have more of any impact on the game.

Westane

I'm excited for you to play it!

Westane

So this turned out to cause a lot more complications than I was expecting and, regrettably, I had to shelve futa content for the MC for the time being. You can still expect to see it with other character, much like Ava and the Strange Strapon, but as for the MC becoming a futa this is something that may not come to fruition. If this changes you can bet I'll make a big deal out of it, as it's something I'm very interested in supporting.

Goctionni

You mention that the animal tail plugs and hairbands are only for RP purposes. Do you mean by that there's actually story-content related to them? Or more in the sense that "the player can pretend for themselves"?

centerflag982

Holy shit I am SO excited, I've been waiting eagerly for this

Belly97

I know you answered this awhile back but when will futa/Herm be integrated?

Westane

Really appreciate it, thank you so much! I'm definitely eyeing the training area for some future events, and in fact you should see one in the next update!

Parad0x

Honestly?, My favorite games have always been linked with something with more Game Over/Bad Endings.. I love the idea that you implemented with the slave training area, but would be relatively interesting to see that the player make take part in some training of her own. Also, love the warddrobe one of my favorite things about some of these games. I love the direction its going and always love to support good artists/writers.

ZULEYKA GAMES

Sounds great! It'll be very interesting to try it!

Westane

In the context of The Company, the Shemale gender was a little awkward as it was just "Trans with breasts". With the new update, you can be a Transsexual with large breasts without the need for a redundant gender state.

chris

so you got rid of thentire shemale sedction huh will you be repalcing it ro something?

Twisted Kidney

The transformation system is really starting to take shape, I'm looking forward to breaking it horribly! I also can't wait to see those tails and ears start to influence the game and that transformation system. Is it done yet?
