Student Transfer - Body Thief 2.7 (Character Pack Updated!)


Finally! After roughly 3 months of hard work... IT IS FINALLY COMPLETED!!!

Student Transfer - Scenario: Body Thief 2.7 Expansion
Featuring Fate/Grand Transfer Story line!
(NOTE: THIS IS ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH Version 3.1)

So as some of you know... this Blog is generally focused around Body Swap captions and part of those captions were Anime ones... which don't worry... I do intend to continue... at some point... soon... hopefully.

And well... to tell you the truth... I had always wants to introduce a Fate Body Swap Caption as well, using maybe Prisma Illya, but that idea never took off and the draft still sits in my caption folder.

Then I discovered Student Transfer (Game can be found here: Student Transfer) and then it dawned on me, that maybe... I could write a Body Swap story through a game and more importantly... a Fate Story and thus Fate/Grand Order was born.

The Student Transfer Route... the Body Thief Story I will continue to flesh out once I managed to wrap my head around my own story... but for the Fate Route the beginning in the same.

You can download the Scenario here, which contains the Fate Route:

 MegaUpload: Body Theft ST 2.6
Drop Box: Body Theft ST 2.6
Google Drive: Body Theft ST 2.6
Note: Please unzip the folder and copy the contents into Scenario. If you download this version, you MUSTN'T install the Complete bundle as there will be conflicts

Character Expansion Pack
MegaUpload: KawaiiSwitcher Character Pack
Drop Box: KawaiiSwitcher Character Pack
Google Drive: KawaiiSwitcher Character Pack
Note: Another friendly reminder, please note that the Fate Grand Order Characters are not free for use. You may use the characters within the Character pack but please remember to credit.

Also please remember to comment, I'm also very conflicted with the idea of Patreon because I am paranoid and 99% certain this is infringing on a lot of stuff, but hey... at least I produced a fan parody game/story.

Also I would appreciate it, if you guys would watch the Opening and the Ending that is inserted into the route. Please also brace yourself, the story should last around 2 hours worth of reading/game play.

You can skip the additional scenes, but for the full experience please go through it all and let me know what you all thought of it.

How to Get onto the Fate Route:
Once you hit the Day 1, School Entrance Scene. Please select the End of the World option and progress onto the Fate Route. This route is linear with a few side stories that branches back into the story. Please avoid skipping the story and try to play through it normally. 
(It will reduce errors)

How to Install:
1: Download and unzip the game.
2: Delete the existing Body Thief Scenario 
3: Copy, Paste and Replace the new one into Scenario Folder
4: (Optional) Rename the Folder from Body Thief Ver 2.0 to just Body Thief
5: (Recommended) To avoid errors, make sure you don't delete anything from ZeBestes Characters

Patch Note and Fixes
- The Jennifer clash has been resolved. 
(If you deleted Jennifer from Zebeste's file, you will need to restore her)
- Added new Characters, Music, BG, SFX, Assets, Movies and expanded the Story
(I wrote over 3200 lines with roughly 26,500 words/175,000 characters... so please don't just rip my content, I will honestly cry...)
- New Fate Route covering the Fuyuki Arc
(That's right... I already drafted Orlean's... there will be more in the future!)
-----------------------------------------------------
2.1 Updates (Minor)
- New Sprite for Rin
- New Cut Scene for Shirou's Noble Phantasm against John/Saber
- Significantly reduce file size!
- Scenario are now divided to hopefully provide better optimisation
- Fixes to the Final Chapter Scene, due to error towards the end chapter
-----------------------------------------------------
2.2 Updates (Minor Story Expansion, Zoey Route)
- Instruction: Unzip the Folder and Copy and Paste bg and story and replace the existing files. In bg folder you can delete body_theft_bg field day, evening and night
- Rename the Body Theft Ver 2.1 folder to Body Theft
- Added background images for Zoey's room
- For Zoey's story, there is a bad ending for Day 1
- Patched in the Orleans Placeholder
(Story is being written and is about 5~10% done, when it is done the whole story will release)
-----------------------------------------------------
2.3 Updates (Story Expansion for Zoey Route, ongoing)
- If you don't have 2.2, please skip it and install 2.3
- Instruction: Unzip the Folder and Copy and Paste assets, bg, characters and story and replace the existing files. In bg folder you can delete body_theft_bg field day, evening and night
- If you have Version 2.2, please make sure you delete zoey room evening
- Rename the Body Theft Ver 2.1 folder to Body Theft 
(Note, Version 2.1 is the full version 2.2 and 2.3 are expansions/updates)
- Updated background images for Zoey's room
- Zoey's story, now covers Day 2 and will branch into Kiyoshi/Zoey's point of view and John's point of view. Note: this routes are simultaneously taking place (work in progress)
- Patched in the Orleans Placeholder
(Story is on hold whilst I expand the Student Transfer side)
-----------------------------------------------------
2.6 Updates (Body Theft ST)
- This version only contains the Student Transfer side of the story.
- Note, you mustn't install both versions of the game as there will be conflicts.
- Download, unzip, rename folder to Body Theft and copy and paste the folder into Scenario.
- This should fix the issue with 2.4 and it should work now, please let me know if it doesn't
- Added the missing assets!

So in terms of options for Zoey's Route... It was Kiyoshi and Zoey > Stop Zoey and Talk to Her > Steal Zoey's Body > Forget it and take Zoey's body to class > Don't tell her the truth > Enter Zoey's House (the other option is the bad ending) > Ignore Circe's and go to bed (you will get day 2 and the yaoi scene) > then either the top two, they will simultaneously occur in terms of plot/story

Additional Comment: I have created a new cast of characters which will be introduce into the Student Transfer later on. There will be a lot more 'Powers' and will feature a variety of characters with ability... and TIME TRAVEL!!!

  1. Very well made! I liked it a lot. I never expected a crossover between Fate and Student Transfer, so I'm interested to see where you go with this.

    1. It was an opportunity I could not pass... I do feel a bit bad for using Student Transfer for my own goals but it was the only way for me to write a decent fate story unlike the anime stories

      Delete
    2. I don't think it will work... I could do an anime caption but got SAO, Konosuba and Pokemon that needs updating

      Delete
    3. Can anyone help me out I've never done this before. I downloaded student transfer only edition, I got it downloaded unzipped it put it on my desktop and now when I go to the game to install the scenario I click on the scenario.json but it tells me that it's not a scenario package I'm stuck. I'm such a noob at this can anyone tell me what I'm missing

      Delete
    4. Copy the folder into Scenario folder of Student Transfer itself, then run the game like normal and it should show up

    5. i can't enter the game cause it's said missing file name : body_data

  2. Why the Zoey Path ends with Zoey (John) and Mel are out of the school? And why when i want to swap body with Yui, it ends there?
    Do the two paths end there?

    1. The student transfer side of things is incomplete it will be gradually expanded but since I never had a end goal, it was just a write ad you go along story... whilst Fate was a I have an end goal in mind.

  3. Thanks for producing this scenario. It is a wonderful project. One your best ones. It must have taken a lot of effort to implement all the new sprites and backgrounds into the game. Not to mention the movie sequences.
    I'm glad that I've watched some of the Fate/ anime. Otherwise I would surely be lost in all the characters, terms and motivations.
    In future, could you implemetn perhaps more body swaps? Saber is sure cool and seeing the corruption was amusing, but I would just switch with someone else at the end if I were "John". I was honestly expecting that "John" would swap bodies with Rin and command her servant.

    Anyway, keep up a good work. I hope you'll do more of these (or SAO/Pokemon/Konosuba themes)

    -Akiko

    PS: That Rin sprite sucks, you should replace it.

    1. makes me happy you enjoyed the story :)

      It was a gruelling 3 months working on the story sinc3 I did everything myself.

      The movie opening and ending sequence was something I really wanted to do, to make it a sort of anime feel

      As for the more body swap, that is actually something I have been debating about.

      Fun fact, there was actually going to be a Mashu Route, where instead of Olga Marie, John would possess Mashu and become Shielder and a servant to Ritsuka/Yuni and then maybe... he would possess other servants and fight for them but then this sort of delegates John as a Servant and that would then leave John having to fill in for Mashu role.

      In the Olga Marie Route, this actually leads him down the path of becoming a antagonist and will be one of the main antagonist of my own Fate adaptation.

      As for the body swap, I did consider on doing mass jumping but in the end I feel like it will make it too body hop cliche and I wanted to try writing something new and challenging.

      I didn't want it to be a Body Hop comedy or a Body Hop convenience

      As for the ending with John, I'm surprised nobody has commented what hell is going on in the epilogue of the game after the ending credits.

      I will try to come up with something for the Konosuba, SAO and Pokemon captions.

      As for the Run sprite... Yeah it was the best I could find... the other option was the original FSN sprite that is so old and badly drawn or her servant form.

      Alternatively I could keep her off screen like Illya and Shirou and have her as a dialogue only character

  4. There's an error on Fate path, Pose didn't found.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Avoid skipping scenes,you can fast forward but if you skip, you can end up missing swapping animation which will result in possible pose errors as game will think that x character is still x character and not the other character

      Delete
    2. Anyway, great scenario. Really liked the story.

      Delete
  5. Wow! That was super fun to play! I really enjoyed the backstory to how the situation ended up as it did before Mashu and Ritsuka get rayshifted in, and good job on making enough changes to keep the story interesting even after the story begins to run parallel to the GO storyline. Really excited for the Orleans arc. Thanks for the amazing game!

    P.S the Abridged dialogue was great!

    1. The story will always fall back into something similar to FGO but at the same time there will be a number of changes to keep things fresh and interesting.

      Delete
  6. The story took a turn, but a welcome one, never thought I'd see fate being brought into this but it's pretty well written with an interesting concept, perhaps we'll get the septem we should have gotten. Overall really good scenario, good work!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I'm actually making notes on Septem.

      One possibility is to make it similar to the FGO story but I'm wondering how to rework it... since at the moment there aren't enough Roman characters to use and I don't want too many Heroes making an appearance in each chapter.

  7. Does it seriously have to be in Mega? any mirrors?

    1. I can put it back onto Dropbox... I originally shared it that way with previous versions but the game is getting a bit big

    2. damn mega download speed is so slow

  8. Holy shit as first i thought FGO route (which in itself a surprise already) just gonna be some fun time switching in chaldea but it turn out to be full fresh fanfic with switch element it was really a surprise in a good way!

    you really put a lot of effort into it, Thank you for this!

    PS.by next part, that mean you can actually fix septem too right? haha
    PS2.also do you need any helping hand in some part? this seem like really fun project and i wish to help somehow

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. The next part will be Orleans, I already finished the opening sequence for it and might drop it as a teaser.

      Septem will be some time away... Also it seems people have a lot of high hopes for it so rather than rehash/alter the story I might rework it into something better. (I hope)

      Well for P.S 2, well at the moment this is completely non-profit, so development will take time. Aside from that any feedback would be nice and right now I am optimising the game and improving aspects of it.

      Delete
    2. Oh right i forgot that Orleans come first haha

      Just take all the time you need, i'll be looking forward to the next one and thank you for your hard work!

      also here a few feedback i have: i really like john being a antagonist but i wish he was explore a bit more since the later in the story he just feel like normal villain with swap power which is fine but i wish he has a bit more depth since he originally protagonist and everything lol

      Gaduko swap with Mash also really interesting chemistry it would be fun to see how Master/Summoning system work now or how servant interact with Master now

      Delete
    3. well I did consider on expanding his role but then there wasn't really that many space to expand upon John.

      But baring in mind that there is still Orleans, Septem, London, America, Camelot and Babylon... there should be plenty of time to elaborate on his role, motives and back stories.

      Either way, John didn't die. He is revealed to have survived through the body of Hassan of Serenity.

  9. Indeed the FGO route really feels like a fanfic taken to the next level and I hope to see more in the near future.

  10. Very well made , I like how the things progressed and how we got the point of view as the "bad guy". I look forward to how you expand "the new era" , will be looking out for new releases , thanks for making this story!

    ReplyDelete
  11. this was a great fate game you made for PS it was well thought out and well made you really put alot of time into making this i can tell by reading it and know your fate lore as well. i loved how you only used the body hop a few time its show how much time and thinking you put into making this i also like how john was the main villain next to lev you should keep him that way it made it a fun fun you using him this way and as alder saber as well. i aslo like the ending with saber still in the body john but her in and her never being able to get back her body back now making her human again and her now able to live as olga in the FGO story your puting her as. so i give your story a 10/10 cause i can tell you have made a well made story with the amount of detail you put in this and getting the model to use must have toke alot of time as well to get to use in this as well as the music you used for it as well and knowing the lore too i look forward to your next work just wondering will you post your update on the ST discord.

    1. John will definitely remain the villain throughout all 7 singularities. At the every end, in the post credit portion of the game, John does survive in Hassan of Serenity's body which I'm surprise no one has mentioned or reacted to yet.

      In regards to the body hop, I wanted to keep the number of swaps small, so that it doesn't take away from the experience and seriousness of a Fate game.

      And thank you for the praise :) I did put quite a lot of effort into this.

      As for the ST Discord, I didn't know they have one. I have posted it on their forums though. Also it seems those from the ST community want it to be more... ST related and more random body swaps... Which I plan to do with the ST scenario but it feels rather... cheap and dull to write and it becomes a pretty gag like story... with memes and tropes.

      Orleans should be okay... but Septem I will prob's have to research so that I can write an improvement to that arc.

  12. How do I go to the Jennifer route?, tried everything hut it seems like Im not getting there

    ReplyDelete
  13. Damn this had me pumped, good job! Feels like what happens when Fate Series decides to screw with everyone's expectations, and I can't wait to see things develop more, just hope you don't blow the information load all at once. I enjoied a bit of the mystery, and I admit at first I was skeptical of having no power in the story itself (as limited as the illusion was.) but I enjoyed the story.

    1. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've started Orleans and I plan to work through each of the main chapters, but the problem is the scale of the project.

      Of course I have no intentions of rushing it and I hope I manage to maintain the same level of story telling quality all the way through the multiple Chapters/Arcs.

  15. Great work! Can't wait to see your future updates!
    btw I really thought John was the main character at the beginning

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. He was... but then one thing lead to another and I didn't want to Studio Deen it and just tunnel vision on just John and Circe so as I focused on the expanded cast, John just became the villian. I will slip in more scenes for him but it will still be antagonist moments.

      At the end during the um Goetia chapter, John will have a very big moment, but for now... just think of him as a um... Thanos kind of character who is there but isn't playing a major role until the very end.

  16. Since using this platform allows more freedom, do you think might adapt captions you've wanted to do but lacked the resources?
    Example would be your Kill la Kill series, I'd kill to see you do that at some point.

    1. Now that you've mentioned it... I actually do have a Kill la Kill Caption.

    2. I know at one point it seemed like you were going to have Ryuko and Ragyo swap, but then didn't. I was wondering if that was just a misdirection or if you realized you didn't have the images to capture it.

      Delete
    3. Ah, I had to go back and re-read it.

      Yes, Ragyou had intended to steal Ryuko's body, but just like the anime, Satsuki blows up the arena and Nudist Beach manages to save Ryuko before the transfer was completed.

      Delete
  18. Kawaii Switcher, This is Sims from SCB Videos #Girls Und Panzer and More! I got an idea for your ST Routes. Maybe you should add a free choice section that will excite the player. You can use that free section to transform John and hopefully Circe into various ST female characters to trick other ST characters. I hope you will put it somewhere in your scenario.

    P.S. I'm looking forward to the Orleans Chapter of your Fate Route. Hope you will finish it soon.

  19. Comment about 2.3:
    Reposted from TFGames forum in hope it will reach you better:

    An idea of not wanting to return to John's original body is very interesting. I wonder what would most people do in such situation. It would be nice to see John picking new body after his old life is screwed. He would assume his victim's life and slowly change the previous body's social image to match his own personality. In case of Zoey, he would stop being so childish. He would be less intriguing as Sayaka, or more bold as Mina. You know, making new friends, buying clothes, spending vacation, apply for university or exchange program etc. In short, make himself a new life. Those are my wild thoughts though. Take an inspiration out of them if you wish.

    As for Orleans, I'm still waiting for it with hope. I would like to see it because it's something totally different from other scenarios that take place in school.

    1. Depends on the issue...

      If you are doing a clean install of the scenario

      Make sure you download 2.1 first, then rename it as Body Theft then take 2.3 and patched that over in by copy and pasting the folders inside 2.3 into the Body Theft scenario folder.

      If there is a specific error, let me know.

    1. 1) Download Student Transfer from their website (link is provided in the above post)
      2) Download 2.1 if you wish to play the Fate Grand Transfer, unzip the file then copy and paste the folder into Scenario
      3) If you want to play the Student Transfer route only, then download 2.6

  23. So ive downloaded both versions (2.1 and 2.3) and then put 2.3 (copy and pasted the folders) into the 2.1 folder that now is named Body Theft. The problem is i dont know how to download the actual scenario into Student transfer and would like help as to how to do it. Thx :)

    1. Are you playing on Mobile, if yes then it doesn't work on mobile.

      If it on PC, open Student transfer folder > Game Folder > Scenario Folder > paste Body Theft in there.

      when you open up Body Theft, it should have assets, bg, characters, movie, music, sfx, stroy and scenario

    2. Alright! Ive got it inside the game! for some reason when i send an activation email on Tfgames i doesnt pop up on my email. thats why i didnt really know how to download a scenario heh.
