Hello, I have a question, is this game well optimized? Why does my PC start making a super loud noise and even if I lower the graphics it still sounds like I'm straining my video card.
Hello! Sorry, but it's probably not well-optimized. I did a lot of work to optimize as much as I could, but to be honest, I'm a self-taught game developer, and this is still just my 3rd try at making a game. I don't have much optimization experience or skills myself - and since people only pay if they want to, I definitely can't afford to hire an optimizer.
oh sorry, I didn't know you were a self-taught developer, okay it wasn't a complaint, it was a doubt, well in that case I wish you luck and that you can optimize your game well one day :)
Wonder if you'd consider adding in a 'debug mode' where all the changes are key-based and you can reverse the changes as well. Would be willing to pay! :nervous:
Hi! There's something like that already in the game! If you complete all the endings, it unlocks a "sandbox" mode, where you can freely change all the body morphs. See this post for an ending walkthrough: https://desidee.itch.io/changing-time-vr/devlog/754383/ending-list
Glad I could help! At current, I don’t have a way to make it easier to see, but I have one more update coming out in about a week that has a “dark mode” for the ending which should help.
Thank you so much! Really glad you like it! I am working on another game in this style, but still only in the pre-production stage - still a long ways to go.
Looks good! it is a little hard to understand that you need to brake the vases to get the tablets so maybe a hint would help first time players. I just wonder if you can make a reverse version(FtoM?, Brotherhood of Ra?) or make a way to switch between genders in game.
Sorry to hear that, could you please give me a little more detail? Is the mouse not moving or not visible? Click not working? Clicking, but game doesn’t respond?
Actually BE is the most extensive change available. If you’re facing the mirror, the column to the back left does BE (look for the large breasts image when the columns are lit up). Use the gems on this one as many times as possible for BE. :)
Thank you for these examples and the comment. I'll take a look at what I can clean up in a future release (I should be able to fix the sand dune bit). But to be honest, a lot of the more advanced mesh/physics interaction is probably beyond my ability at this point. Who knows what future projects will hold though :)
Side note: I saved and removed the second two example posts so they don't take up too much room in the comments.
I'm too stupid for this game... I cannot find the Ankh (or whatever that the non-scarab, ouroboros or key thing is) triangle. May I ask for some guidance?
Sure thing! The locations of the tablets are: 1. Nefer - on the ground next to the central pyramid altar. Left side. 2. Scarab - In the broken pot on the left side of the mirror 3. Tyet - In the unbroken pot on the right side of the mirror (break with a rock) 4. Ouroboros - In the pot up on the ledge on the right side wall of the room (break with a rock)
Is there a way to force windowed mode, sadly using an ultrawide monitor and full screen means it zooms in and cuts off parts of the screen making it more difficult to do puzzles and play. Or if you know a way to force it be helpful ^^ Otherwise its very nice.
Solution found, made a shortcut of the .exe and added the following after the " at the end -ResX=2560 -ResY=1440 -WINDOWED ((Solved ))
Thank you for this feedback, and totally awesome that you found your own solution! I didn't realize how necessary a windowed mode might be, will look into adding it in a future release.
it will mostly effect multimonitors If they have the screen spanned across all and ultrawide monitors. So being able to select a resolution and windowed mode fixed that zoomed in issue some games have.
On the right side of the room (as you're facing the mirror), there's a pot placed up on a ledge, the circle ("Ouroboros") tablet is in there. Grab a rock and throw it at this pot to break it. :)
no need, it can be added as an add-on after a full walkthrough, you can also add additional cutscenes or other endings, you can work with this, so don't remove this opportunity, but expand it.
Don't stress, that's by far the hardest puzzle, and it's bonus content, not required for the basic endings.
Hint: The buttons are arranged in columns, and you need to push the right one in each column. The key for which button is in plain sight around the room.
Thanks for the non-VR version! Someday I might get a headset, but for now, this is what I have. I love your games! This and Changing Room are especially special to me. I greatly appreciate the games you make!
For some reason the gems get stuck if you try to use one that hasn’t been used to full charging on a change that’s already been maxed out. For example, with the waist you can only go up to five changes on that pillar, but if you try to go beyond that the crystal you used just becomes stuck there and uninteractable.
hi there is a bug due to which it is impossible to complete the game it is triggered when you press the skip button and because of this some items do not appear namely on the right side the urn with the rune for the passage. And also this bug has already appeared in the normal start.
On the right side of the room (as you're facing the mirror), there's a pot placed up on a ledge, the circle ("Ouroboros") tablet is in there. Grab a rock and throw it at this pot to break it.
Thanks for pointing out the black screen bug. I think I know what's causing this and will fix it in the next update. Thank you!
I found another strange behavior and would like to report it. If I continued to back up in an area where I could see the epilogue, I would fall out of the area and end up in an endless falling loop.
Definitely would like to see this expanded upon a little. A good premise. Easy little escape room.
Would be nice to get a proper "reset" button, rather than being forced to completely quit the game and load it all up again.
Tried to play this on a lower end PC. Even on the lowest settings it couldn't handle it well.
There are only 2 glaring issues I have. First is that two of the pieces can be very difficult to find due to physics. Second is that the sand blocking the last portion is still something you can walk through, it should probably get some proper collision to prevent the player from submerging themselves in sand. Easy enough to get out, but still annoying, especially since I've found some rogue pieces in that area.
EDIT: Found a little more to explore. Trying to puzzle it out now. Although in the meanwhile, I did find a bug that might be worth correcting.
After solving the main puzzle, you can use the other two gems to boost yourself further. However, putting one gem into a spot you've already maxed out will leave the gem locked in the socket, unable to be removed.
Thank you thank you for the feedback! I'll definitely look to fix these for the next release, these are great comments!
FWIW, I totally agree on the reset button. It's actually already there in the code, but I had strange crashing problems when packaging, so I cut it out for this release.

No worries! No way you could have known. And I appreciate the question - optimization is very important!

This is neat! Never got this far before hehe. Is there a way to make the final room easier to see in? Some of the details get lost easily :)
Glad I could help! At current, I don’t have a way to make it easier to see, but I have one more update coming out in about a week that has a “dark mode” for the ending which should help.
I really like the game, I hope they continue making more games of this type, they are very incredible :3
Thank you so much! Really glad you like it! I am working on another game in this style, but still only in the pre-production stage - still a long ways to go.
Really? I'm intrigued what the topic is, good luck then.
Does someone had a video walk-through on this game? I’ve already seen the gameplay of forgotten. Good game btw.
Edit: I have an idea. you don’t have to take it. You can make a patreon page, doing a walkthrough of your games.
That's a great idea. Not sure where to host (since it's nsfw) but I'll look around! Thanks!
Do you have a Reddit account? You can post them there.
I found your Reddit account. you can post gameplay of all of your games there since it allows NSFW content.
Looks good! it is a little hard to understand that you need to brake the vases to get the tablets so maybe a hint would help first time players.
I just wonder if you can make a reverse version(FtoM?, Brotherhood of Ra?) or make a way to switch between genders in game.
Make This game in apk
Sadly outside of scope and ability, but thank you for the interest regardless.
Sorry, but I’m coming from your past game on Little Red of Ridinghood because I’m on mobile and I can’t open the game after downloading
Hello! Sorry, but this game does not support mobile (that's unfortunately beyond my technical ability for now
).
:( sadge
For some reason I can't exit menu.
Sorry to hear that, could you please give me a little more detail? Is the mouse not moving or not visible? Click not working? Clicking, but game doesn’t respond?
When I click the exit menu button or press escape, it does not get close the menu but I can still move.
Thank you! I'll look into it!
This is really good. Please keep cooking!
Thank you! Next ones are already in production!
for your next transformation game you should make the person turn into a anthropomorphic animal it's up to you if you want to do it
Hello author,could you tell me what engine you use in this game
Hello! That was made in Unreal 5.2.
I wish the game was more optimised for weak devices
What an excellent game, no experience! I'm getting my VR setup to experience it on another level of immersion.
I look forward to your future (and checking out your past) games.
is there any breast expansion in this game or did I just miss it?
Actually BE is the most extensive change available. If you’re facing the mirror, the column to the back left does BE (look for the large breasts image when the columns are lit up). Use the gems on this one as many times as possible for BE. :)
thanks
what transformation game are you going to make next and i am always here if you need any ideas
Still working on the opening stages, so it’s still a little fuzzy.
I just played the game and realized there's still so bugs:
1) Game does not pause when in the settings
2) you can just go through everything
Examples:
Thank you for these examples and the comment. I'll take a look at what I can clean up in a future release (I should be able to fix the sand dune bit).

i like this game and you should make more?
Thank you! Planning on it!
I do not know if someone already told you but the blue and green gems do not have physics enable they just float once picked up.
I just noticed this too yesterday! You're the first to mention it though, so thank you! On the list to fix!
You are welcome, also when trying to put the gems in the pedstals it is hard, as they like to fling in a random direction.

Edit: if you'd like hints for the endings, please see this post here: https://desidee.itch.io/changing-time-vr/devlog/754383/ending-list
Thank you, for some reason I couldn't find the tyet despite breaking the vase several times.
Hey desidee I love your games your game forgotten is one of my favorites I was wondering if this changing time game is free or not
Thank you! Yes, it's donation based, so you can give whatever you like - even if that's $0.
okay thanks for the info can't wait for the next game maybe you should an anthro transformation game or do a sequel to forgotten

where is the circle tablet? i cant seem to find it
On the right side of the room (as you're facing the mirror), there's a pot placed up on a ledge, the circle ("Ouroboros") tablet is in there. Grab a rock and throw it at this pot to break it. :)
What other keys are there to enlarge other parts of the body besides B?
Ah crap, that was a debugging key I accidentally left in, sorry! That's the only one, will remove in the next version.
no need, it can be added as an add-on after a full walkthrough, you can also add additional cutscenes or other endings, you can work with this, so don't remove this opportunity, but expand it.
Love the game. I am confused though. what must i do with the back of the mirror :D
Don't stress, that's by far the hardest puzzle, and it's bonus content, not required for the basic endings.
Hint: The buttons are arranged in columns, and you need to push the right one in each column. The key for which button is in plain sight around the room.

Awww, that is so sweet! Thank you so much for the kind words!

Thank you for letting me know! I think I've found the problem and should have an updated version out in a few days.

Doesn't seem to work on my part : each time I try to open it it ends up in an error spelling
"Cannot render an Instanced Stereo-enabled project due to a missing functionality on the system. Please check log files for more info."
Thank you for letting me know! I'll look into this!
Update: I think I found the problem. Should have a fixed release out in a few days.
I searched around for about 30 minutes but couldn't find the triangular piece with the circle drawn on it...
Also, I don't know if it's a bug or a design issue, but if you get too close to a wall, the screen will turn black.
On the right side of the room (as you're facing the mirror), there's a pot placed up on a ledge, the circle ("Ouroboros") tablet is in there. Grab a rock and throw it at this pot to break it.
Thanks for pointing out the black screen bug. I think I know what's causing this and will fix it in the next update. Thank you!
