In addition to the flowcharts for the base game, I have also made several flowcharts for fan-made Scenarios. Due to the scope of this game and the number of options available, I have split up the flowcharts between the “Magic” and “Alien” routes. In addition to reviewing each iteration of this project, I have also become its go-to “Flowchart Girl,” creating elaborate flowcharts meant to guide players through this game because… it gets messy at points. Since the project’s inception, I have been producing detailed reviews of Student Transfer following the release of every new version, highlighting what I considered to be the finer points of each release and the game overall, while pointing out areas in which I think the title may be improved.
Meanwhile, the soundtrack largely consists of the royalty-free offerings of Kevin Macleod. The majority of visual assets used in the project come from Japanese commercial visual novels, primarily those from the developer CandySoft, but many of them have been edited over the years to be more uniform and better fit the needs of the developers. The title is associated with the TFGames.Site community, where the bulk of its fanbase resides, updates are posted, and fans post their own stories using the Student Transfer game engine and assets, known as Scenarios. Over the following years, the project has developed substantially, increasing its scope, quality, and sheer breadth of content, all thanks to an assortment of writers, editors, and creators who have breathed life into this project. Work on Student Transfer began in 2015, where it was heavily inspired by a similar game by the name of Press-Switch, another freeware visual novel centered around TG, body swapping, mind control, transformation, possession, and more. From this initial decision, the game opens up into a sprawling web of storylines, routes, and choices, boasting an expansive and colorful cast of characters. The game itself takes the form of a large scale choose your own adventure style visual novel that follows John Davis, an unremarkable high school student whose ordinary life becomes extraordinary on one fateful night when he either receives an incredibly powerful alien remote as a consolation gift after being probed by some aliens, or an ancient spellbook written by his ancestors.
