I've uploaded a version of the game resolving an issue where the Chapter 1 climax event will not trigger if you've locked yourself away in your lab, as well as several macro errors in the lab. The online version is updated automatically, but if you've downloaded the local version priory to the posted time you'll need to re-download the game.
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, paperdoll 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 Paperdoll 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 paperdoll 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
Comments
Once your character has breasts, I certainly agree.

2018-06-03 02:50:25 +0000 UTCYeah, not to knock Natalie, but I feel like Bailey is better suited to the role.
Oceslope
2018-06-03 02:49:23 +0000 UTCThat's something I'm looking into.
Westane
2018-06-01 18:56:05 +0000 UTCis there still a way to look like the former shemale gender state? I kinda prefer her player portrait and mirror picture over the trans one.

2018-06-01 18:53:03 +0000 UTCKind of what I was getting at. Glad I'm not the only person who thinks this.

2018-05-30 21:38:20 +0000 UTCSomething that has been annoying for a while now is that the chastity device is removed when transformed. I can understand how that makes sense for male to female, but it's otherwise bothersome.
Pixelmania
2018-05-30 20:51:32 +0000 UTCIt was removed because it was redundant as a gender. "Shemale" was effectively just "Trans with breasts", and it didn't make sense to have both. With the new update, you can be a transsexual and give yourself large breasts!
Westane
2018-05-30 19:45:37 +0000 UTC"The Shemale gender has been removed completely" I'm going to miss that. I think I missed it in earlier patch notes.
Oceslope
2018-05-30 19:41:57 +0000 UTCAlso she wouldn’t leave. This would aply to a possible love state as well. While on the other hand something like lust would be an adverse affect
2018-05-30 18:28:12 +0000 UTCOh well. As long as you keep making new content, it's fine in my book.
Choppytehbear
2018-05-30 17:45:20 +0000 UTCI'm gonna rip that band-aid off. The female chastity may be a long ways off, as it created a lot of unforeseen complications with existing content. It's still something I'd like to do, but I can't say when it'll ever turn up. I do apologize!
Westane
2018-05-30 17:39:05 +0000 UTCWow. Great job so far. Can't wait so see the second part of this update. I'm hoping we can get female chastity belts in this year. I remember you saying it would be difficult because you would have to change the code on some scenes, but I figure the longer you wait, the more difficult it will get, as you will have more scenes to re-code. Anyway, keep up the good work.
Choppytehbear
2018-05-30 17:33:31 +0000 UTCThe latter may happen, the former isn't currently being planned.
Westane
2018-05-30 16:09:26 +0000 UTCIs there any chance of being able to drug NPCs with the body modification drugs, or to be forced to take them by NPCs?
Pixelmania
2018-05-30 16:08:37 +0000 UTCHey all. I've updated the Image Pack 5 and Image Pack Base to include the proper Chastity Cage image. Otherwise, if you're playing locally, you can either rename the Chastity Device image manually, or download the proper image here: <a href="https://thecompanygame.neocities.org/pics/clothes/Chastity%20Cage.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://thecompanygame.neocities.org/pics/clothes/Chastity%20Cage.jpg</a> Sorry for the inconvenience!
Westane
2018-05-30 14:16:05 +0000 UTCIt just occurred to me today as well, because I just realized Dakota starts dominant, so she dominates the player when she's given the MCS-X in that state, but I feel like, if she's been made submissive, surely she wouldn't react to the MCS-X the same way as when she was dominant.
HaikenEdge
2018-05-30 13:44:44 +0000 UTCNot sure, something I'll keep in mind, though.
Westane
2018-05-30 13:42:44 +0000 UTCThat is Jenny Flowers
Westane
2018-05-30 13:42:19 +0000 UTCIs there any chance in the future of having the effects of the MCS-X change depending on the Dominance of the subject?
HaikenEdge
2018-05-30 12:33:35 +0000 UTCGreat update! I am looking forward for the next. But may I ask, who is the actress you used for the sissy pics?
