just finished it. had to skip free times/show watching after 7pm, etc. to get it done but it was honestly a very nice and interesting day. i never get up before 12am when i dont work or so, so it was weird. didnt think i could go to sleep yesterday at 00am too, but that worked surprisingly good. was an amazing experience all out, thank you for that. probably never gonna have a day like that again, so im beyond thankful for your great work. and now lik still almost 2 weeks left. awesome!
Thanks, it was quite amazing to write. This tease used about every idea I had
Don't worry I didn't cost myself, at least I hope I didnt lol. Also, I just realized you were the one who helped me with my coin-toss problem a couple weeks ago, thanks again for that
No problem! My solution wasn't the best, my approach to Eos is throw something at the wall that sticks and be happy it stuck I have had to look up some programming for it but it's low level at best
Honestly your solution may not have been the best, but it was the best for me, anything more complicated and I probably still would've been stuck. Sure it could've been a little bit more interesting if I used some actual code, but that stuff is kinda over my head. I'm just happy to have gotten a tease out there at all. I'll probably try to learn some more javascript and play with the editor a little more before I try to make another tease, def wanna try something a little more complex.
Also, while youre here I forgot to ask, about how long does day 6 take? I don't need an exact number time wise, but I need to be at the airport by 11 am tomm. I still want to wake up and play the day first thing in the morning like Im supposed to, but I don't wanna risk either accidentally missing my flight, or having to dip in the middle of the tease.
Actually on second thought, instead of telling me how long its gonna take, can you just recommend me a time to wake up? That way i still won't know how long the tease will take, but Ill still be able to catch my flight.
Also terribly sorry if I'm annoying you with all these comments, I promise this is my last one
Flights right now, wow. Stay safe. (And I'm sure Xia wouldn't mind if you uncaged for the flight )
I don't have timers for each day so I won't risk that! It's a short day text wise that gives you something to do during the day which won't mesh well with your flight. So given yo cant really do that shouldn't take long.
Originally I was legit going to release day 15 as a separate tease entirely by itself...then it grew...and we have a month

Oh ok sweet, the flights only 5 hours so if thats the case I can just do whatever it is I need to do after landing probably. I guess I'll have to wait and see. Also, Im expecting my flight to be nearly empty because of the pandemic, so there may even ba a chance i can do it on the plane depending on what it is.
However on day 7, I apparently received a text from Kitty, and I don't think I gave her my number. If I remember correctly, she asked me out and I told her I'm already taken. I hope this doesn't have any lasting effects. It does say userKittyphone=1 in the variables though, so idk what's going on.
P.S. As this series is progressing it starts feeling more and more like a VN, so I think it is okay to discuss best girl: Hailey vs Xia. I used to be on team Hailey for a while, but I think since BBTC, I've switched to Xia I was wondering whether you have a favorite.

Hey been doing this tease now, am on day 7. Its pretty great and I'm looking forward to playing the rest.
However on day 7, I apparently received a text from Kitty, and I don't think I gave her my number. If I remember correctly, she asked me out and I told her I'm already taken. I hope this doesn't have any lasting effects. It does say userKittyphone=1 in the variables though, so idk what's going on.

This is an annoying part as its a recurring problem that my testing seemed to have solved...
userkItty = 1 should mean that you gave her your number. I've added one last little fix that might fix it, if not then I might just have to make this a dialogue box of 'did you give your number out?'
And I always call teases (what I make at least) a mix between a JOI and VN, and this one definately is long enough for a VN! (Maybe I should make one of those for real...) I may do but I will remain publically impartial for now
I checked the admin page to see my variables and the day and edge counts have not adjusted at all. I would suspect that the # of edges done in Day 7 would have been added to the tally, otherwise why would there have been a button to count them?
For what it's worth, since it seemed the variables were saved to my profile I did Day 7 on a different computer than I've done Days 1-6 on. I checked the admin console prior to it and saw that my variables were exactly the same on both the original PC and the new one. Went back to the original PC for Day 8 today and no progress, so I checked the new PC and the variables on both show the same pre-Day 7 counts.
That's very odd as every single end day is almost identical code so it shouldn't change up like that... I assume the multiple pc's did it?
Later on, there are a few specific questions asked.
I'd like to change one of my answers, which I can tell is going to be re-used a fair bit, as my initial choice just doesn't work really well.
Is there a code to update these, like 'preferences'.
Or else, could we just re-run through that day? Not sure how that might affect my current progress two days later...

What effect does the "Skip Timer" button, when available, have on the outcome?
If it says there will be a repercussion, there will be. Some skip timers I added in for people reading along only who didn't want to wait. Wasn't sure if to include them, but depends how immersive you want.

I'd need to know which. If you're past day 12 is it
Bug:
This notification/button to skip day18 timer got stuck since, welll... day 18.
RELEASE ME FROM IT PLEASE I'm gonna click it sometime by accident and it'll probably screw everything up :D
By the way, amazing job so far with this. I haven't played further than day 24 yet so I don't know if it continues, but so far days 23 and 24 explore very interesting themes that aren't often included on milovana/online/tease stuffs (for obvious technical reason, it's not really possible to have tease PLAYER be the dom). But this is one way to kinda engage with it a little bit and I've got to say that it's amazing. Thanks for the great job buddy @shattered.
Yes, that was the one. Just changed it in preferences, and that worked well.
Thanks
Hehe, good guess!

Fixed this, I put a code in the wrong box! Should be ok now.
And aye, I played with it early in the series but it didn't really work. Think those two attempts are much better, assuming you mean day 22 yes I like that one quite a lot!
I just finished the entire thing. Got the ending number 2.
Overall that was quite an amazing experience, even though I wasn't ever able to do it on a daily basis as intended (I really don't have time to do this shit on the weekdays). There were some minor continuity errors and other small mistakes that are to be expected for such a large project, but overall A+ work.
If I do a replay I might try documenting the mistakes so you can have a list of bugs to fix but as of now, I didn't bother with reporting the non game-breaking bugs.
Some problems that I still remember are:
a) There is a continuity error in day28 where Xia remembers us playing with the catsuit even though I decided to skip that day.
b) There is a weird transition in day24 if you decide to skip the wait timer after the girls go to the room to play alone. Text that comes up seems like it's a continuation of a previous sentence but there is nothing before that that would make sense.
c) There are few times when I'm expected to grow an additional pair of arms to take care of everything, for example on day29part3 there is a moment when I have to 1. hold the edge, 2. twist my nipples, 3. press some buttons. It happens at other times too and in your other teases as well. Overall this seems to be a consistent small mistake that you often do and should probably try paying more attention to avoid.
And I have a few questions...
1. Is everything okay with you, shattered? Because it's the second time I play one of your teases and your seemingly normal girlfriend randomly decides to kill you in the end for no reason or very little reason (cumming once in the "faux choices", not even "without permission" because technically we weren't yet formally dating). It seems a little bit dark even for random internet memery don't you think? But whatever...
2. Can you give me spoilers for the other endings and how to get them (mostly how to get them, I can replay certain parts to see for myself) if that's possible? Because I can't even figure out what I could do differently to see the different endings? Everything seems very linear to me unless maybe I can somehow just piss off Xia very early and she ends the relationship early and that's one of the other endings? :P
3. Can you give maximum values of love/virtue that can be obtained?
4. Is there a possibility to have some kind of write-up one day of spoilers from your earlier teases that are relevant to your current ones? I seem to be missing a little bit each time because I only played like 6 of your more recent teases and of those I don't even remember some of the earlier ones. I don't know how many other people are in similar situations as me but you usually seem to include some throwbacks and characters etc. and it's a little bit of a waste if I don't know/remember them.

Thanks, I appreciate it! I really put my all into this tease...perhaps too much!
& I've added the continuity stuff to my the front page known bugs to look at later, thanks!
1. Yes, I mean I could do with a better job but on that front I'd say so. This time it was just because of continuity - I needed the two canon endings to lead where they did, and well...That means you have to die And I had planned this since Before Eternity as you can see the little teaser at the end of that, so it's been a long time coming. No additional deaths are planned
2. The two 'canon' endings are dependant on if you scored high enough on your virtue or love scores. I may adjust these as poll results come in and I see what people got, but for now if either of them are above the threshold you get a 'good' ending (with death and if not you get a 'bad' ending with death - sounds like you got the latter? One end is about half way through the tease if you annoy Xia in a certain way at a certian point. The fourth ending...is the most niche and secretive hidden ending I've done and I wouldn't be surprised if nobody found it without cheating so no hints there unless somebody does find it. In fact there was even a bug in one way that I've just fixed!
3. I tried my best to count it effectively. I believe Virtue is 94 and Love is 39, but it's possibly some were missed!
4. So thing is... I don't even know all of them when I replay my teases I forget stuff, although I'm sure I remember the broad strokes more than most. I'm not sure how it would work considering with
this tease I've brought all of my teases into the same timeline...A rough overview might be needed before Chastity 9, shall we say. But I do like some bonuses for those who remember at least! Like day 5 had quite a few throwbacks but I tried not to make it too much if you didn't know them - All of those throwbacks wouldn't make a plot summary anyway!

this tease I've brought all of my teases into the same timeline...
So is the rough timeline something like...
faux choices -> conversion therapy (i didn't play that one, but I can kind of guess what it's about) -> as a post-conversion person having encounters with different girls eventually ending up with Xia (most of the chastity series) -> month with Xia (current tease) -> Before Eternity?
Or am I still missing too much of the lore due to not playing some of the earlier teases?
And if I was somewhat correct, how come I could meet V_ in the day24 if it happens before "Before eternity"?
If these questions would require knowledge from your future, not yet released works, then ofc you don't have to answer. I'm just really curious how much did I manage to piece together.

Now see, that's interesting because I did play the tease with the full intention of doing the "good" run, that is: be as good and lovely as possible, but I only ever got love: 19, virtue: 61
(By the way, the "love" is supposed to be the love that the player is expressing or the "love" that Xia is feeling toward the PC?)
I don't know what the threshold is for the good ending but it seems like either something bugged out and I missed on a bunch of love points, or there is some misunderstanding on what actions constitute what results, like a difference of interpretation?
So, for example, the problems that I can see are things like this:
1. progression problems - for example, let's say there are 15 love points to be obtained in the catsuit day but I have an option to skip that day. Now that would be a little silly because skipping that day logically shouldn't mean that I love Xia less or that she loves me less, it looks like a neutral choice at the point of making it. So if there are many situations like this, where a bunch of points are gated behind one of the seemingly neutral choice options, that would lead to people missing those points for no reason.
2. choice interpretation problems - I was wondering about those. Because there are many situations that look a little bit like this:
"Xia wants to do something bad to you".
-> your choices: a) beg please no, b) yes please
Now, this is something that I'd argue should be a neutral option, if the "love" stat is intended to be "love player is expressing toward Xia". But if you interpret it differently and for example decide that loving player should always beg for mercy, then it's easy to see how somebody could lose a lot of adding up points like that just for having a different expectation.
I can still be a loving sub towards Xia regardless of what type of sub I am, correct? Whether it is a bratty kind that always begs for mercy (but ultimately goes with the dom decision anyway, of course), or the "more subby" sub that just rolls over and immediately takes whatever it is - both of these relationships are valid and exist in the real world.
On the other hand, if you decided that "love" means "love that Xia feels towards the PC" then, of course, she can just decide that she prefers one type of sub over the other and that would explain scoring one higher. But I think that's actually an unfortunate decision. Because although this is more realistic kinda, it's not a very good gameplay mechanic, because for the gameplay mechanics to be satisfying players must have control over them. And you know, the tease is, after all, a game to be played.
So I'm discussing all that because I find it a little weird that even though I specifically tried to maximize both of these scores, I only got not even half of the max. love points, and a little bit more than half virtue points. There seems to be some kind of misunderstanding between the player's expectation and what coded in the tease. Of course, I might also just be one weird exception, who randomly got everything wrong and other players won't have the same issue.
EDIT: I replayed last day with cheated in love/virtue to get the "good" ending, and FUCK SEVEN.
As she seems to be the true evil mastermind that always fucks the player over, yeah, I hope there will be some opportunity for some comeuppance in your future works.
I don't know if there is more lore about that character that I don't know (I only first remember seeing her in faux choices). But yea she evil bitch, ruining all the fun, fuck her.
Why do I always get to miss out on the handcuffs? Again Xia told me to bring some handcuffs and again they werent used. Did I do something wrong/right so I didnt get that as a punishment? Or did you maybe forget? Just want to use them very much.
also I NEED you to give me a link to this set of pictures...
I was wondering whether you have a favorite.
And I had planned this since Before Eternity as you can see the little teaser at the end of that, so it's been a long time coming. No additional deaths are planned
