HTML A Life Lived [v0.65] [ZennyDarkstar]

[ZennyDarkstar]

The UI of this game reminds me of The retreat... that was a classic. I wish you good luck, dev.

I have probably played that.. (I have played most real porn games on here at some point) but I cant say I remember it that well..
The UI and whole engine is totally 100% created by me. Its one of the things I felt as a project I wanted to do.. Wasnt that straight forward, as I had to learn Javascript.. I have tried to make the UI simple to use (might be failing reading some of the comments) and clean..

Thanks for your comments and look forward to hearing from you in the future as the game develops

Fist of all, good luck with your game.
I just wanna know:
are you planning to create a MC only dominating other males or is just gonna be a submisive game?
is sissification avoidable?
are all male characters datable (even the father or brother)?

Thanks a lot!

So... my plan is to make the MC both dominate and sub.. to both male and female NPCs.. I particularly have content where the MC is both dom and sub to the mother and sister and a few other NPCS aswell.. I also have some ideas around sisification. I was the main char to be able to be but also I want to try and make it so you can sissify / trans another NPC (you might recognise one of the male school friends.. Eliah).. If you recognise any of the neighbours then you might see where their content will be going.
There is no brother at this time.. Datable.. for father / grandfather is unlikely but sexual content with them is very likely.. Already there is something with the father (its not a lot but its in one of the quests-job one). It is more likely you will be able to date on of the male school friends going foward..
I am still working in my head on how the gf/bf relationship is going to work. I have put a placeholder in the save for 1 active partner. Just need to understand what that means to other quests or to interaction with them. I want the partner relationship to mean something, if its going to be implemented. It will also have to grow.. so it might mean initially only 1 or 2 npc can be partners then as I add content more will be available..

Also all content will be avoidable. Content is going to be stats driven and engagement driven.. so If you do not have the stats to be in a bi / gay relationship because you have not done the steps that take you down that round, then you will not be engaging in that.

Thanks for your questions and comment... look forward to hearing from you more

I think I've got myself softlocked, I've only got £15 but I can't bully anyone because my domsub is 70.

Loads of potential, but nothing really happens?
Nurse quest does nothing, Coco quest does nothing, Arnold quest does nothing.

just a lot of grinding

grind is my biggest concern.. I want the game to require you to do things to achieve things.. As with real life.. This is not a visual novel or a presenation of porn.. This is a life simulation porn game. However, I want the grind to be meaningful and I want it to be content driven. Some of the current quests are not starter quests.. So where they need certain stats or money to do them. I get that they could be a bit grindy to get. I intend to bring in some more quests that are more basic ones that will help you develop stats or money while playing through content that will mean latter quests are a little less grindy..
That all said.. I am also trying to balance the grind / instant satification of each aspect of the game.. and will be making tweaks to the game as it develops to try and get a best fit.. Any feedback on particular aspects that felt overly grindy are always welcome.

The arnold quest is an arching quest that requires you to take pictures of 20 different situations.. The nurse quest came about from me wanting them to be one ofthe 20 upskirt pics to get for arnold.. So the result should be a pic of the nurse in a comprimising situation on your mobile phone gallery. (At current the arnold quest can not be finished as there is not quite 20 pics to collect).. The coco quest is the start of a whole relationship with your first GF and where that is going to take you..
This is only a first release.. and so I wanted to give a sample of what quests are going to look like.. but at current there are 7 quests (with multiple steps in each, but not all get to the planned end yet).

What I take from your comments is the "loads of potential" as with this only being a first release.. that is exactly what I want people to see...

Really do appricaite any feedback and your comments and hopefully I can turn that potential into something in future updates!
Do feel free to check our my patreon where there are public posts upto now explaining some of the processes and thoughts..

Thanks

How do I do anything in this game there is no button to press to eat with the family when they are eating, no button to click to do the classes and no button to snoop in the sister's room even though she is in the shower right before school all in all I'm fucking lost on what to do.
Edit: almost an hour in this fucking game and still have no fucking clue what I'm meant to be doing I'm giving up on this crap.

Eat with the family! great idea.. I will defo be adding that.. At the moment when the family come together to eat, 2 out of the 3 of them currently have unique talks.. but that is it.. I see eating with the family as being a chance to increase your like with all 3 in one go... Ok this is going to be in the next release 100% I think I have an idea of how to implement this within the current engine set up...

When you go to class.. if you talk to the teacher, they will take the class. Which will increase 1 of your stats depending on which class it is.. I was going to have a take class button, but ended up implenting it in the talk function.. (I might need to make the text that appears when you sit through a class indicate that you are, and whch stat it improves..)

The is no option for snooping into sisters room yet.. your can snoop on her in the bathroom in the mornings weekday and weekend.. More snooping is to come.. but this is only the first release and I want to try to give at least 1 example of different mechanics that will be featured more in later releases.

Thank you for trying to persist with the game for an hour.. Did you manage to complete all the 7 quests (as far as they can be).
To be fair, at the moment like I have said there is limitied amount of content but this will grow. Hopefully you will give it another try on a later release.. I would be keen to hear any feedback you have having played it for a fair amount of time.. And really take onboard what you have said so far..

Thanks and hopefully will hear from you again

How do you use the lockpicks?
In the house and at the park restroom, nothing seems to work and I even checked for a library to possibly up the lock pick skill.

This is my bad.. ok so the lockpicks were an early idea I had, so I put the lockpick item into the game but really should have said it is for a future release.. When I thought it out more, I ended up with more questions that answers of how to implement them and what they would achieve. Like how many goes can you lockpick before it breaks and you have to buy another. I was going to have different strength picks.. I want there to be a way of learning lock picking like your said in the lib or on laptop.. But most importantly, I want there to be a reward for getting into a room or whats the point. So the lock pick might end up being a quest to start you down that road and introduce you on the pic mechanics. And all quests will have a story and a reward.. so that would take care of that.. but at the same time, I am going to then have to make it that all doors are pickable or that you are told this door is beyond your picking ability..
This will come.. but might take a few updates.. Sorry it was not clear.. Lots of ideas in my head when I starting making and had to put some on hold or the first release would never have come out..

Appriciate your comments and im finding it interesting that each persons comments seem to be focused on different element of the game so far... Look forward to hearing from you again

I think I've got myself softlocked, I've only got £15 but I can't bully anyone because my domsub is 70.

Ok this does sound like an interesting pickle.. Do get money fast you need to get the job.. this is the job quest, which can be started by talking to the shopkeep saturday morning. However for this to complete you will need to buy a phone.. and for that you need money.. Your mother gives you lunch money in the kitchen before school each morning. And I could be wrong, but I think you can sell yours sisters panties to arnold.. (im trying to remember if I implemented that or not).. Once you got a job you can work on weekends at the shop.
Another option for getting money is to raise your dom / strength and become a bully to others.. (but this might not be the road you want to take)
At the moment there is no extra content behind the bullying.. it will come but its not there yet.. But has given me food for thought on what content people are playing for to be building more of next.

Thanks for playing the game and your comments and look forward to hearing more from you as the game develops

Is there any gay/bi content already in game? Could not find it / figure out how to get it for the life of me

 

[Black Xoul]

Brother there are a few error
line 1573? Line 1451?
case 18 :
updateimage("0/mf20.wemb","vid"); // IT SHOULD BE webm?
$data[13][0][3] = parseInt($data[13][0][3])+2;
return "Hi Bro, was just about to watch a film, want to join me?"; break;
also, Lifelived/npcs/0/SS19.mp4 does not exist
Line 1454 case 19 : updateimage("0/SS19.mp4","vid");
man why use other format? Can't cheat coz it's not sugarcube

 

[ZennyDarkstar]

First I would like to thank everyone who has downloaded and played the game.. and those who have fed back with comments.
Its been really interesting this morning reading how you all are asking different quiestions.. Which for means that you are interested in different areas.. which is great as I want the game to eventually be a game for all..

I am quite excited to start work on v0.2 now, after having had a few months of building the engiine and v0.1 not knowing how it will be recieved.

So a quick FAQ

The game is a first release and so content is limited
Some of the tags at the moment are for conent that is planned or very early in development.
Content is all avoidable.. If you start down a path on working on a stat then the game is going to open up content related to that stat.. that is the best I can describe it.
The game is a game not a visual novel or a directory of porn.. While I have no problem with either of those two things. its not what I am trying to make here.
Grind is going to be meaningful (might not feel that way yet). I want the journey to be as important as the destination, if that makes sense.
A lot of my thoughts and plans are presented / going to be presented on my patreon page. (at current all posts are public)

Few hints..
There are 7 quests of which some are finishable some can be take through a number of steps.
There are a number of NPC and location events.. these occur at certain places at certain times.. an example of this is your mother in the shower in the week day morning.
Your sister at the moment is the most developed of the char.. Once you have built up your like with her, you can start to corrupt here also. This mechanic will be used later for all chars and needed to perform certain quests.
The mobile phone and laptop are key items (buy them. set them up and use them)..
I have put a bit of work in to the social media pages of about 15 chars. To add them as friends you will need to have met them in person.
There is a text feature on the phone this works for all but there are only two NPC who have a unique response.
The phone has a camera and photo galley feature.. You can take photos at certain locations by pressing the phone and camera button.. if there is a photo to be taken, a button relating to that photo will show to let you take.. if there is no photos it will say..(howver at the moment if there is a photo available at a different location at that time, it fails to tell you no photo is available)..
Lessons are taken by talking to the teacher in the classroom.. This skips forward an hour and raises a stat (depending on class).
Books can be read to improve other stats (there is an important book for charisma!)
mother gives you lunch money on weekdays before school in the kitchen..

I will try to add to this post if I remember anything else.

Is there any gay/bi content already in game? Could not find it / figure out how to get it for the life of me

At current there is only the porn on the laptop to watch (but this is trap / cuck if you consider that to be gay / bi) and there is the start of event in the park toilets cubicle at night..
There will be more.. (if you recognise any of the neighbours for instance you might have an idea of where content could be heading).. there will be more (AVOIDABLE) gay/bi content with school mates and bullies.. and people you can bully..
Also depending if you feel this classes as gay/bi.. there will also be sissification and trans content.

Id be currious to know.. would you consider either trans or cuck content to be bi / gay. or are you looking for something a bit more clean cut so to say.. You might recognise some of the male school mates as trans or gay porn actors .. so content is there to be added (thats the plan)..

Thanks for your comments

Bro!!! now this is some serious help.. I will look into these today..
By other format you mean my own engine.. You clearly have some knowledge in this area.. and to be honest..
I wanted a challenge, but also I wanted to be able to completely be with out restriction. .and for that I needed to build my own engine and save system from scratch..
i do love sugarcube and being able to cheat.. but I want to make it so you dont want to chear.. I want the grind for stats and money to be content based.

thanks for your comments and look forward to hearing more from you!

Truth to be told, loved your engine, love your game.. but man... have at least some ability to cheat or easy mode... my left hand went numb from clicking talk button :3

I am going to try to work on the grind.. so that thinks dont feel too much like a chore.. On the plus side.. a numb hand can feel like someone else!
Big thanks for the compliments though.. does mean alot.. I'm about to release a fix to the two issues you have spotted..
One was a typo. the other was because the vid I wanted to use was a vr vid that I wanted to see if I could get the built in vid player in a browser to able to work with like you can with youtube. but just couldnt work out how to.. so took it out as it was quite big then forgot to replace it.. I have tweaked the scene now.. and interestingly opened up a new possible event for the future..
Thanks

OK Quests -
Smoking sister - she isn't at any location that I can access at school lunchtime, so no idea how to catch her
Camgirl Sis - Have laptop, no idea how to set up fake SM
Upskirt King - Only 1 upskirt so far, despite numerous places they may work, like girl up ladder, mum on floor etc. Is it stat based?
Oldie but Goodie - I assume at this stage you can only catch grannie teaching other girl?
Ur first GF - Spoken to her in every place I can think of, no idea how to start quest
Getting a job - Friendship up to 25, spent all day Saturday in shop, still no clue how to start quest (Have mobile, laptop etc)

OMG just worked out the hint thing is hover over...tried repeatedly clicking... ffs

OMG just worked out the hint thing is hover over...tried repeatedly clicking... ffs

That last line just made me laugh.. Sorry I shouldnt...
Hopefully the hints will help.. but let me try to remember..
Smoking.. you need to find the cigs in her room.. and then find her during the 2 hour lunch (the hour she is not in the canteen).. she will be on the top floor corridor. Your sister might need a level of corruption first..
Cam girl is started by catching your sister on her laptop at night.. then you will have the quest icon button on your laptop(you need to make sure you set up the laptop from your bag).. Laptop will then appear in bedroom..
To give you an example.. once you have set up the mobile, it should appear as an icon on the bottom right. go to the shop week day between 9 and 10 and press the phone, then camera button.. it will indicate there is an upskirt photo to take.. you press the button.. and it will show you the pic and save that to your phones gallery for later viewing.
So good places to take upskirts are when there are lots of people around. Some occur during a npc or location event (if you have a camera)..
Oldie but goldie.. starts with what you said but there is a second step.. the hint should help with this..
Coco will offer you her number if she likes you enough and you have a mobile phone (again make sure after buying that you set it up from your inventory)..
Getting job requires you to talk to the shopkeep at 9 on weekend..

All quests are indicated with a quest icon which you need to press instead of chat or other interactions..

Hopefully that will get your on your way..

"Yup, I have way more corruption... unless it's a soft lock that it will ONLY work at 20 corruption?"

Cam girl is started by catching your sister on her laptop at night.. then you will have the quest icon button on your laptop(you need to make sure you set up the laptop from your bag).. Laptop will then appear in bedroom..
"Yup got laptop setup, never had a quest icon on it though."
