Crossed Signals

v0.4.6 New Story: Violetswap Last time on Violetswap, Violet drunkenly decided to use the phone to swap Bre and Eric's bodies, which is apparently a bad thing? Oh well, with the phone drained of energy again, that means another four days of toughing it out as a pair of gal pals. And as expected of any mean girls worth their salt, that means... New Outfits Charlotte takes the new girls dress shopping. Isn't that nice of her? I'm sure they did this completely of their free will and without any phone assistance at play. Several CG Edits Being stuck as a pair of cheerleaders for four more days means falling back into their daily routine. And that means more cheer practice! It was a lot of fun revisiting these with a little extra flair from the new character dynamics. Two New CGs And with how much we love our outfits, you know we had to capitalize on the opportunity with two new CGs showing them off. These two are so lucky to be able to try on so many pretty dresses. New Title Theme Our composer has put together an original song for the title screen. When you launch the game, take a moment to listen all the way through as the title screen cycles through all the swaps. How nice. v0.4.5 New Story: Robinswap Now that Sam has begrudgingly agreed to let Danny use the phone next, it's time for everyone's favorite shared set-piece: the beach trip! How will Sam and Jenny enjoy their day in the sun before the phone finally rechanges? Read on to find out! Lots of New Outfits! With Robinswap being focused on gender exploration without drowning as Jenny or being micro-managed by Violet, we wanted to let the player choose how Sam wants to dress up his new body. That's why we've added not one, but two new casual outfits! Also, Sam and Hailey have bikinis, now. Three new CGs This update plays into Cinnamon Switch stereotypes by offering a clothes shopping, intimate, and bodyswap CG. Our three favorite flavors! We had a lot of fun depicting Sam's continued descent into girlhood. New Completed Backgrounds Maeve has continued knocking out backgrounds, this time finishing Robin's dorm room, the lockers, the school cafeteria, the campus hallway, and the library. Looking snazzy! Lots and lots of GUI Updates Gunzil has been hard at work in the programming mines implementing all of the new user interface artwork that we've been getting from our GUI artist. It's not quite done yet, but it's come a long way in the past few months. As always, bug and typo reports are appreciated, which you can submit with the new "submit a correction" button on the main menu! And that's all for this update! We'll see you very soon with the conclusion to Coffee Buns's story. The next Crossed Signals update will be writer's choice, which means more Violet content for all you Violet freaks. v0.4.4 New Story: Violetswap This update was writer's choice, and that means more Violet! Sam's patience is wearing thin as he's forced to impersonate Violet all the time, apart from when he's around Eric. What a nice guy. What a nice, strong, handsome guy. What a nice, strong, kissable guy. Violet's Makeover Continues Of course, Violet still thinks it's fine to do whatever she likes as Sam, which means a new outfit. We affectionately call this her "ski movie villian" outfit. Three new CGs This includes a new intimate CG. Hmm, I wonder who's giving Sam such a good time. Danny can hold the phone Alongside the new outfits, we made a couple sprite improvements. This includes Eric and Danny being able to hold the phone. Boy, doesn't that phone look so right in Danny's hands? I wonder if he'll ever get to use it... New Music Our composer has been hard at work, creating remixes of character themes to reflect all these body swapping shenanigans. The SamViolet and VioletSam themes have been incorporated into this update, so be sure to keep an ear out! And that's all. This was a very fun update to work on, and I hope you all enjoy. We'll be back with a Coffee Buns update next month, along with a poll to decide which Crossed Signals route will be updated next! v0.4.3 New Story: Jennyswap With the beach trip behind them, Sam and Jenny return home to prepare for the week ahead, as well as confront the full timeline of their swap. Exciting adventures like laundry and homework await. Jenny Can Wear Pants Sam is very excited about this development. New Intimate CG Set As a slow burn route, Jennyswap goes quite a while before any intimate scenes occur. Well, that ends now! We have a doozy of a six-part intimate CG sequence lovingly illustrated by Transformiss! Wow! New User Interfaces for Jenny and Violet Our UI artist has finished another set of character themes, which we were very excited to implement. Now, you really feel like a preppy mean girl. Danny has Teal Eyes Now One thing you might have noticed is that every character in this game has a distinct eye color, so when a bodyswap occurs, you can easily tell who's in which body. Unrelatedly, we changed Danny's eye color from green to teal. Eaton Mouse Joins the Team The reason we were able to get so much work done on the user interface AND put out a whole story update was because we got some new help on the project! Eaton Mouse pitched in, animating nearly all of the new story content, letting Gunzil focus on other coding and writing tasks. This will hopefully mean more content, faster! Yay! v0.4.1 New Story: Robinswap The cat's out of the bag: Robin is a girl, and really seems to enjoy being in Sam's body. In fact, Robin cares so little for their own body that they've basically given Sam free reign to do whatever he likes. Or get peer pressured into trying new things... New Title Screen The title screen has been replaced with something more interesting: new art of each of the different swaps. As you sit on the screen, it'll scroll through each of them in a little animated loop. It's pretty fun to sit back and watch. Even More Cheerleader Outfits! Cheerleading outfits for everyone! Yaaaaaaaay! Cheer Practice CG! By "new things," I meant joining the cheer squad. After all, how else were we going to get a CG where Sam helps perform a basket toss with Robin's strength? Even More Music! Our composer has been quite busy, writing ten new music tracks for this update. You read that right, ten! Highlights include a character theme for Nicole, some replacement tracks to accompany doing stuff at various times of day, and a few Jennyswap-specific tracks, with two in particular having a very fun twist to them. v0.4.0 New Story: Robinswap This update adds Robinswap, the fourth and final character route! Unlike the spicier Violet and Nicole routes, this one is intended to be on the sweeter side, so closer to Jenny in tone. Sorry, life theft fans. Accepting Robin's offer to work out together, Sam decides to get up early and hit the gym. But when Sam can't find Robin in the locker room at the agreed upon time, he decides to give Robin a call... There isn't much more that can be said without spoiling a very fun (and perhaps obvious) reveal, so we'll leave it at that. This route is a very fun romp, so I hope you all enjoy! Five Finished CGs! That's right, five! This update adds the usual post-swap PoV, a workout scene, and two spicy scenes to the game. On top of that, we've finished the "Jenny in bed" CG, meaning every CG in the game so far is now finished! We were concerned about working up too much asset debt at the start of Jennyswap, so having all in-game CGs be finished is a huge relief for us. Look at Robin lift those weights! He sure looks manly in Sam's body! Cheer Outfit Reveal?? That's right, Hailey has been granted the honor of being the first to don the university cheer outfit. She looks so cute! New Music Tracks This update adds an intimate scene music track, and a theme for Robin. The former is nice and soft, while the latter has a relaxed alt-rock theme that we really think suits Robin's whole deal. And that's all for this time around! We hope you enjoy what's likely the final Crossed Signals update of 2024. It's wild to think that it's been 15 months since our first update. That's both so far away, and hardly any time at all. Here's to another year of bodyswap! v0.3.0 New Story - Nicole Days 2 & 3 You may remember that on day 2, Sam gets his phone confiscated during math class, but remembers to grab it when class is over. This has been turned into a choice. If Sam forgets to grab his phone, then Nicole gets a little curious... New Sprites - Mel, Linda, and Nicole outfits With any new route, we just can't resist adding new characters. Nicole needed some adult friends to bounce off, plus they'll help fill out the school staff's roster. The Japanese teacher from Jennyswap now gets a sprite and name: Melody St. Clair. As for this fashionable lady, she'll be appearing in Violet's route as the cheer coach. And of course, any new route wouldn't be complete without new outfits and new poses. Doesn't Sam look cute in his new body? I think so. New Nicole CGs and a Violet CG Sketch TheTransformistress has been very excited to draw CGs for Nicole, and that really shows through with not one, but two PoV CGs that kick off the route! These two are especially steamy, taking place in a much different location than Violet's and Jenny's. For Violetswap, we've also gone back and added CG sketches for Violet, Sam, and Eric spending time on the couch, and then Sam and Eric playing games afterward. It was one of those scenes that felt especially fitting for a CG, given all of the fun little interactions between the characters. New Art from KimRinzley - Finished Background and Sketches Kim Rinzley has added another finished background to the pile: Jenny's apartment! Doesn't it look cozy? I wish I had an apartment this nice in college; I hope her rent is reasonable... New Feature - Gallery With as many CGs as we've added, it was high time we added a CG gallery to the game. It's fun to see how many we've accrued so far. Just imagine how big it'll look when the game is complete! v0.2.2 Four finished Crossed Signals CGs! We wanted Crossed Signals to wow readers with lots of art up front, but that meant we had to sketch a lot and find time to finish up later. That time is now! Four CGs and several insert illustrations from the first two days of Sam's story are now fully illustrated by our own Transformistress, including two centerpiece CGS. The POV illustrations at the start of both the Violet and Jenny routes are both complete and ready to view in their full glory! We even added some fun blur effects and parallax scrolling to add to the immersion of Sam finding himself in a different body. We also included introductory CGs for Danny and Robin as well, meaning all of the main cast now has a fully-illustrated debut in the story! Four finished Coffee Buns CGs! We've also got just as many Coffee Buns CGs finished this time, include the volleyball CG, the Roman catch CG, and Ash's beach transformation, as well as a completed version of the Day 3 intimate scene by UltraBondageFairy! The previous version was more than a sketch, but the final version now has even more polish you expect from UBF. More Coffee Buns art from sprites to backgrounds! Our other artists KDhynamo and Heart have also been hard at work, bringing a whole new background and new outfits for characters! Naomi, Ash, and Bonnie have completed pajamas, and Roman's had his outfit buffed, literally! We improved his musculature, that is. Debbie also has a completed sprite to take in! Real Debbie, that is. A new intimate scene for Coffee Buns! There's only a little bit of new story to read this update, a self-inspection scene that was teased at the end of the Ash sleepover last update. It currently includes some WIP art from UBF and details Leo getting acquainted with is new anatomy. We hope you find it as sexy and educational as he did! The first track of the Coffee Buns soundtrack! Our composer from Mice Tea is back to lend his talents to Coffee Buns but contributing the first original track in the form of Leo's theme! As the tune for the main character of our story, it's going to set a lot of the groundwork for the whole project. We think it's a great addition and fits our protagonist fantastically. v0.2.1 On the character side of things, Transformiss added a whopping eight swimsuits, split across a portion of the male and female cast! She had a lot of fun drawing these. For backgrounds, we've added a finished version of Jenny's bedroom by KimRinzley, along with a brand new beach background! Adding to the fun, a new character also makes an appearance today: Bob Birch, Violet's dad. This day also comes with a finished version of Nicole's intro CG and two brand new, finished CGs. One of which being first sexy CG of the game, where Sam and Jenny finally explore each other's bodies a bit more... intimately . v0.2.0 This was especially fun to write. While Jenny may have taken things in stride, Violet isn't nearly as amenable about this situation. And much like another fashionista, Violet actually has two routes planned! One where Sam and Violet spend a lot more effort impersonating each other, and this one where the cat comes of the bag very early on. And that's not all! Along with the usual swapped character sprites and a CG sketch, we also get to see a glimpse of two new characters! Bre and Charlotte, Violet's cheer friends. v0.1.2 Initial Release
