Transfigure Release

Added 2025-10-23 11:32:43 +0000 UTC

Ok, this took way longer than I thought but this update adds some new VN content and an ending! In the next month or so I am going to do my best to add at least a taste of never before seen content and I will do one more update at the end of the October.

I’ve made a lot of new art and I’ve been replaying the game over and over again adding and fixing things as I go. I was about to post a release several times and I would always find another bug or two at the last second. Now that I have a lot of background, character, and scene artwork the game is getting rapidly built out. I have had a few minor issues and I’ve tried to fix a few of the quirks of the different processes I am using but it is getting smoother every day.

Over the past month I’ve done a bit of everything from 3D, writing, animation, character art, music, voice work etc. Progress is good. I am trying to keep up momentum and get builds finished. Now that I am putting everything together I am making new assets to fill in the blanks where the original game had no graphics and I'm trying to flesh things out along the way. I am also trying to make as much progress as I can without getting bogged down.

In this update you will start to see how I want to present things in the new sections. Transfigure html is essentially text but with a visual novel text is only part of the allure. Transfigure is at this cool intersection where it is part, game, part novel, and part movie. It ties all three of those completely different arts together… or tries to. It’s a tall order but I think it produces a very compelling experience when everything fits together well. When the music adds to the mood. When the art fits and looks good. When the voice acting elevates the experience. When the story is large and interesting. When the player is having fun and is engaged and aroused. When there is enough content and variety to satisfy.

The next update will be at the end of the month and will focus on cosplay content and/or another section that has most of its assets done such as Drew’s route, Ariella’s route, YP stuff etc. Whatever I can finish and connect I will but I will require more than the html’s 2000 assets to reach parity because Transfigure is a visual novel so I want it to have more than the bare minimum that previously existed. A few hundred more art pieces should unlock a lot of content. I think I have around 10 or 12 endings close to being done. Transfigure VN now has way more art than the html game so it is just a matter of putting it together in a way that looks cool.

There are still a number of minor things I am going to change such as giving Drew’s area a new unique music theme like that which exists on Mitch’s and the T vs T route. There are a few random graphics still clashing with the updated theme but I have alternate art I’m trying to raise up to par. I have also opted to leave out some of the male character voice work until the polish stage just so I can focus on the core of finishing the story, the graphics, and the presentation. The game is also getting bloated and needs some asset optimization and size reduction but I’m still constantly tweaking things here and there. If I see an extra AI finger or something I chop that thing off!

This has been a pretty chaotic year but I’m proud to finally get the game presenting close to how I want it to be.

Please let me know what you think of the new build and more specifically the T vs T section. I always liked this area and thought it would be interesting for the player to experience the effect that Taylor may be having on others in the story first hand. I debated putting Taylor’s male sprite on screen but I decided not to at least initially to create more of a first person effect. I think it turned out pretty well and hopefully this serves as a little appetizer for future updates.

As always, thank you for your extreme patience. I am sitting on a mountain of art and most of the complicated and difficult work is finished so the updates shall now flow.
