The 5.3 update for The Company releases this week for patrons! Below you'll find detailed patch notes for this update. Patrons should expect to see the update go live no later that the morning of the 30th, with a public release going live 1-2 weeks later. The patron exclusivity of this update will last just a little bit longer due to the breadth of changes I'm tracking in this patch.

On to the notes!

The Company - Alpha 5.3

This is Part One of a two part release for 5.3, featuring the new transformation system, overhauled crafting system, paper doll system, and several other fixes and updates. Part Two is expected to release towards mid-late June and will feature patron-submitted events, character customization options, updates to the exploration system, and updates to the conversation system.

General System Updates

  • A new "Report Issue" button has been added to the sidebar for bug reports
  • Autosave is now enabled in game
    • The game will now automatically save in a designated save slot every morning
  • The new paper doll system is now available, and can be activated at the start of the game
    • This replaces mirror and wardrobe scenes with a layered paper doll of the character, reflecting all physical, clothing, and makeup options
    • This will also replace the player's portrait in the sidebar and text boxes
  • Images and paper doll can now be enabled/disabled from the sidebar 
  • The bedroom masturbation scene has been rebuilt, and has sensible TF effects

Transformation System Updates

  • There are now only three genders in the game:
    • Male
    • Trans
    • Female
  • The player's gender is now on a 100 point scale running from -50 (Male) to 0 (Trans) to 50 (Female)
  • The Shemale gender has been removed completely, and Sissy and Bimbo genders are now gender states based on your primary gender
  • Transsexuals and Females can become Bimbos by maintaining a high Arousal
  • Transsexuals and Males can become Sissies by maintaining a low Dominance
  • Transsexuals can become both a Sissy and a Bimbo at the same time
  • Breast, Anus, Vagina, and Penis sizes and states are now tracked in game and referenced accordingly
  • Breast and Penis size can affect certain transformation
  • Transformations now have a 2-day cooldown, preventing them from occurring back to back
  • All reaction events have been updated for new transformation system
  • All dynamic, random, and interactive events have been updated for new transformation system
  • Transformation values and events have been extensively balanced to make the system more smooth and sensible
  • The option to disable forced transformation no longer affects Sissy and Bimbo transformation, as these are no longer actual genders

Crafting Updates

  • The crafting interface has been reworked to greatly reduce the amount of clicking needed to craft
  • While Penny's assisting in the lab, you'll have the option to create batches of 5 serums at once if you have the materials
  • New Enhancements have been added to the game to increase/decrease breast and genital size. These unlock after Wednesday, September 6th
  • The MCS-X discovery event now unlocks after Chapter 2 concludes

Wardrobe Updates

  • Dakota's bra can now be obtained by searching her room after you've obtained her panties
  • "Tail Plug" has been removed from the adult store in the mall
  • Bunny, Fox, Cat, and Dog tail plugs have been added to the adult store in the mall
  • Bunny, Fox, Cat, and Dog ear headbands have been added to the adult store in the mall
  • Currently, these are for RP purposes only and add no mechanical changes

Fixes

  • Playing without images now properly disables images in dreams
  • The Women's Boutique in the mall is no longer gated for male players
  • John will no longer attempt to dom the player in the bathroom even after he's been dosed
  • Penny's morning material contributions will now always be whole numbers

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?

chris

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

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.

ZULEYKA GAMES

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

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.

westane
>>12651282

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!

Belly97

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

centerflag982

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

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"?

westane
>>12651627

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.

westane
>>12652109

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.

Nevenga Games

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

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.

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 :)

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

westane
>>12655647

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

westane
>>12654314

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 :)

Althalus

Looking forward too it!

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!

H.P Fuckcraft

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

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.

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.

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.

westane
>>12666198

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

TheMGA
>>12666198

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

JMKarlsson

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

westane
>>12678375

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>

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

westane
>>12666198

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.

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.

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??

westane
>>12698187

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

westane
>>12678375

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.

Anonymous
>>12698187

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

westane
>>12698187

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.

Anonymous
>>12698187

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

TheMGA
>>12678375

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)

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

xRed Games

Wow, amazing game!
