As we've achieved the $350 goal, it's time for a detailed walkthrough to one path. After chapter 9 it will have the sense to add Dorothy's path, but now it's too simple to get the whole content. ;)

Chapter 7
VII01. You were/weren't caught at doing something immoral.
If you spend the night with Olivier, his parents can catch you. If you choose to not be hurried or you aren't Quick, they will know th...
2021-04-22 12:10:34 +0000 UTC View PostI want to share some thoughts about the choices in my game. I try to make The Parity a complex story that players can shape. Of course, it's not a sandbox, so you get some version of the same story. Some events will occur besides players' actions.
How I plan the plot
Firstly, I need to tell you about the construction of the plot. I owe much to the authors of the RPG tabletop games from the Powered by Apocalypse franchise. There is a tool for Game Masters to predic...
2021-04-22 07:17:45 +0000 UTC View PostChapters 0-8.
I've achieved the two-chapters' update goal. :)
2021-04-21 13:35:04 +0000 UTC View PostThis is not a new update yet, but the March supporters' version after rewriting to Twee.
You can check if the saves still work (but as there is no chapter 7, only until the end of chapter 6). I've decided to change the system of naming the updates - from now it's the number of the last chapter+20.
So, the next version will be 0.28, it will be 190k+ words long, and I think that I will publish it on Tuesday or Wednesday (so before the deadline). But in post-2020's world ...

Chapter 6
VI01. You had a calm/restless night.
If you decided to sleep with Olivier, you'd have a restless night and you can investigate that Justin glows. If you choose the floor, you had just a refresh...
2021-04-18 13:05:47 +0000 UTC View PostFinally, I re-arranged everything in Twee, so I can just write and code chapter 8. It was really frustrating week, as I had to copy manually everything into separate files. The tools that were invented for the latest version of Twee are in their alpha versions, so I've wasted a lot of time figuring out how to use them correctly. But I've learned a lot, so I had two days of peaceful writing, and I think that even with this frustrating break, I won't delay the promised release. So, good news. :...
2021-04-15 19:01:51 +0000 UTC View PostTwo months ago I asked you about my idea for the second day. And however more than a half of you voted that the idea wasn't bad, my goal is to find something that most of you would want to play. ;) So I thought a little about the concept.
So, I named the second concept "The Seventh Daughter" and the title is based on the belief in Slavic folklore (it's possible that not only there) that the seventh daughter must be a witch. The hero(ine) has 6 older sisters and one older brother. He bec...

I've planned chapter 8. Unfortunately, Twine can no longer hold the weight of The Parity. In Chapter 7 it slowed terribly, now it's nearly impossible to continue the writing. It's said that Twine slows down around 80k words, so I think I'm lucky that it endured so long (or I have a good computer, but I don't have :P ). So I need to re-organize everything in Tweego. I've spent today some time on it. I've figured it out, but it will be a little harder for me to code, as so many variables depend...
2021-04-08 17:39:06 +0000 UTC View PostI've decided to share with you some thoughts that came to my mind recently. It's almost a year since I've thought about this game, and it seems that I somehow became one of those guys who can keep their projects running for months. And I do this in a damn foreign language!
As the communities like that around tf games are the communities of the creators (I bet everybody here at least thought about writing the own game and most of you probably tried to do it), maybe you'll find this text ...
2021-04-07 08:19:42 +0000 UTC View PostUff, there is Chapter 7 in the air. :) As I said, the double release would be around the 22nd, but for those who invested so much money in me, chapter 7 earlier. :)
2021-04-06 17:27:32 +0000 UTC View PostThere was a short time when we've reached another - $300 - goal, so I will write the walkthrough to chapters 7-9. I remember about the walkthrough to chapter 6, but as I want to write those two chapters in April, I'll write it later. Every time I announce a date of release something happens to disturb it, so I will only say that I write quickly and chapter 7 should be on time. I am in quarantine again, as my fiancée's coworker got covid. So, Easter will be just another weekend in the isolati...

I start to write chapter 7. :) It could be quite long to play, as some scenes are unlocking by your earlier choices. Generally, chapter 7 will focus on the Parity as the game of the divers and Pauline's everyday life as a girl. If you join the game, you could use the chips to bet or to transform your body. If you followed Justin's path, he'd break up with Claudia in this chapter.
2021-03-18 07:48:05 +0000 UTC View PostI think there is a time to start discussing some characters/paths. I will start with Olivia/Olivier, as you didn't see Martha in her relations with other divers (but chapter 7 and chapter 8 are about it, so she would be the second one in our discussion).
I like to think about "The Parity" as the opportunity to play with the usual TG tropes. The story is long already (and will be much longer :v ), so I can make the characters more complex and make them act more like real people. 2021-03-17 08:51:47 +0000 UTC View Post
So, we've achieved $250. :) It means that there is a lot of writing ahead of me. I will try to write it in the following weeks. I think that I will release chapter 7 earlier and it would be available for Patrons that support me with above $1 tier - everyone will get two chapters in April, but I want to appreciate those who invest more in me. Easter is at the beginning of April, so I can't give you a specific date (anyway, I ruin them every time :P ), but I think that chapter 7 would be in the...

Ufff, 6 chapters behind us. The first act of Pauline's drama. ;) I planned to make it in 5 chapters, but writing fiction is not always about planning. But it's an important milestone.
It took me 7 months to be at this moment of the story. I based it somehow on the short story I wrote in 2017 (it's in Polish, so I won't give you the link ;) ), but it was just a draft. I like the way Martha and Olivier developed - I think I used the spotlight to make quite complex characters. Chapter 6 is...
2021-03-15 13:50:49 +0000 UTC View PostHowever tomorrow I will lose around 25 Patrons - thank you very much for your support and I hope you don't feel you wasted your money for The Parity :) - I decided to establish a new goal for $300 which is a walkthrough to chapters 7-9. I expect that we'll reach the $250 goal (for now is $242) and in April you'll get the two-chapters update, chapters 7-8. If nothing unexpected happens, chapter 6 should be released around the weekend.
I appreciate that more of you ...

Fun fact, but The Parity is already longer than The Return of the King. ;) Of course, some of the words are code, and in the single walkthrough you see more or less half of the content, but still it's the longest text I've ever written. :v I assume that the completed game will have something 550-600k words, so it would be as long as The Hobbit+The Lord of the Rings. ;)
2021-02-18 14:33:36 +0000 UTC View Post
Let's say it's a present for Valentine's Day. ;) Chapter 6 will be longer than others as it will have two separate storylines for most of it. It will sum up the character creation. And, well, Pauline will have a chance to lose her restored virginity. ;) As the length of the game will reach the length of Tolkien's "The Return of the King", I think it's time for that. :D
2021-02-14 08:02:27 +0000 UTC View PostI think about the new game. Of course, not now and even not in the next few months, but as The Parity will come to an end (after chapter 10 at least), I will probably start the second project. I'll call it "The king of the crossrads" or simplier - "The Trickster".
I think about the new game, where the player will play trickster - he would be a stereotypical king of the crossroads, who'll collect souls and will have his position in the local community. He will specialize in transformatio...

Chapter 5
V01. You were turned on by (0-5) visions.
Every sex scene counts as +1 vision you have to see. You choose which turning you on. This choice has its importance on the diver's path. 2021-02-12 16:26:43 +0000 UTC View Post
I've got a problem with putting The Parity online to make it available to play in the browser - the violation of terms and all that stuff. The version that people can plan on TF Games is outdated. Do you know the hosting (free or cheap) where I can upload the game without problems? :)
EDIT: It's settled, thanks. ;)

2021-02-11 09:52:17 +0000 UTC View PostA little spoiler. The first scene suggested by a Patron will be in chapter 6 at voluntary path - if you accept the transformation, Pauline will wonder (and daydream a little) about what kind of girl she wants to be. And as dreams, visions, and wishes are quite important parts of this story, the choice would have some consequences. In the game, you will choose two types, but here of course you could just mark what kind of stuff you find the most interesting and you want more of this content in...
2021-02-10 15:39:23 +0000 UTC View Post
I can see that we'll probably achieve a $200 goal and I will write a walkthrough to chapters 4-6. I show you one of the most important challenges in the game: unlocking Martha's path as a potential lover of Pauline. There would be no further possibilities to unlock this path, so if you want this relationship in your story, you have to play the first chapters in a specific way that would affect the other paths - especially Robert's and Carl/Caroline's.
2021-02-10 07:37:14 +0000 UTC View PostWow, the quickest patch in history. :P It fixed a bug with visions in the beginning of chapter 5. ;)
2021-02-09 21:17:54 +0000 UTC View PostChapters 0-5, chapters 0-1 after proofreading.
Don't get used to such quick releases, but as I was stuck in the quarantine (luckily, I'm still healthy) I had some time for writing the game. The usual release date is still around the 22nd day of the month. ;) But, of course, if I write something earlier, I'll publish it earlier.
The Prologue, chapter 1, and the beginning of chapter 2 are corrected now, thank Ero, who volunteered to make my English readable. :) Thanks a lot. 2021-02-09 16:41:06 +0000 UTC View Post
Hello there. ;) Last time I asked you about the sex partners of Paul/Pauline you find interesting. Today I want to ask you about your preferences on the style of the feminine way our hero(ine) follows.
As I said several times before, one of the planned endings is that Pauline changes back into a boy, so there is no railroading based on the First Law of Gender-Bending. The task isn't easy, but it's possible.
But there is no doubt that Paul, in opposite to most characters that...
2021-02-03 11:11:15 +0000 UTC View PostHello. :) I've just established a new goal (for $200 per month) - the walkthrough to the next 3 chapters.
