Knuckles Winter Getaway Progress

Originally I was programming this game in flash with a large part of the code being based on what I learned in Babysitting Cream.  However I started becoming disillusioned with flash as it presented more and more problems with slowdown and other issues.  Since then I've been working on learning how Game Maker works, and it does work nicely for all my needs.  I've gotten a visual novel engine built and it's working out nicely.  I'm mainly using Game Maker as well because it has a much better save system.  The number one complaint I get concerning Babysitting Cream is the lousy way Flash saves files and that the files are never permanent.  That's what I'm rectifying with Game Maker.

Grose and I have made a lot of progress as well as my friends and editors.  However I am in need of some more help to move the game along.  I need some help with getting backgrounds and sprites colored, as well as find someone who may be interested in coming up with one original theme for the game as well.  Until then I also need some testers to try the game out and give me some feedback on the interface.  I just need to know if it works and if it could use some changes.  Fan feedback like that always help.

This game only has the first day out of ten complete with a few adult scenes.  No art though, still got work to do on that.  Please, your feedback is important so any suggestions are welcomed.  I know that not all the buttons work and there is a reason for that.  I just don't have a real reason to implement them yet.  Enjoy.

I just started the game and already found something to comment on.  In the opening description, it is mentioned twice in a row on how there are 4 sexy ladies to play with.  It's a little repititious.  Other than that, liking the layout so far.

Thank you for your feedback.  I'm still getting some editing done to the script especially since changes to the main body keeps happening.  I'm glad you're enjoying it so far.  ^v^

Another part is repeated when gaming with Tails and Mina after sitting next to Tails.

I encountered this as well consider it confirmed =p game seems fun so far though.
crackerspawn

confirmed, i think.. the text when you sit next to tails reads oddly... you mention the game working after a minute, and then go into a description of trying to get it working and say it took a few minutes... also some double description here, but mostly it's like it's calling strings from both the tails AND mina versions of this activity, and mixing them together in a way that ends up say the same thing twice but in two differing sentences/monologues.

Thank you for your feedback.  ^v^

I'm not sure which line of dialogue is repeated as I nose through the code and can't find anything off.  I've got the dialogue organized a lot better then in BSC so it would be easier to pinpoint the line in question.

Not bad at all, though I am kinda disappointed that you can only do one thing the first day. All in all, though, a really decent start. I'll be looking forward to more.
FeatheredAdventures
12 years, 9 months ago
Well it's only the first day, and the way it's set up is a score is established on each decision you make.  So you're only allotted one decision per day that could effect the other decisions later on.  With nine more days after this one there will be a lot to explore.  ^v^

Thank you for your feedback.  ^v^

playing with tails and mina: sat next to mina; she blows the cartridge, knuckles makes a comment, blush, and then the text says something about "i forgot how pu..." and runs off the screen for a word or two, coming back on the next line.  (i THINK the next line started around "both were" or something like that, didn't catch it quick enough to jot it down precisely,sorry.. i'll play through again and make a note)
crackerspawn
12 years, 9 months ago
or i could just hit back... DUH!!! ok...  "i grinned, remembering how pu ....  (runs off page, next line starts) "these two were."

*AHEM* i'm hoping to go into QA myself, taking some classes about game design right now, so i'ld appreciate it if you could tell me if/when my comments help, or if/when i get annoying, etc... and don't be shy or nice, my future career depends on brutal honesty here :P

Thank you for your feedback.  ^v^

I appreciate all feedback no matter what it is.  Your diligence in pointing out errors so something that will be commended.  However, I would appreciate it more if you finished testing everything out first and then give me your report.  When the replies get cluttered like this it makes it really hard to keep organized.  *Feather snuggles* Again, thank you for your feedback.  ^v^

ok... gym;turn down sally;turn down amy== no problems! :D (except having to turn them down in the first place of course :P )

gym; sally-no; amy-yes==no problems        gym; sally-yes;vaginal==no problems    gym;sally-yes;anal==no problems

bed;play with cream==no problems   bed;stay with vanilla;pull out==no problems    bed;stay with vanilla;cum inside==no problems

last but not least, tested skip feature a couple times.. works, but i find it interesting that it still displays all the text, but just rushes through it as if the user clicked like a maniac...  :P anyway that's what i got so far :D
DarkDragon

the skip feature like that is common for most text based games , mainly due to most games simaler takes a note of what you the play has viewed befor and runs past it all up to the point you have not viewed (this game does not have that but thats beyond the point) aslwell as what if the player decides they wanted to skip to a point of text fast without clicking but stop at a scene they can do that by clicking the skip button a 2nd time stoping it and playing the game normal once more . also im sure there may be other benefits in going this way =)

will you be redoing babysitting cream in this format after your game?
FeatheredAdventures
12 years, 9 months ago
You know, I was going to mention this in the journal since I figured it would come up but it slipped my mind.  I am considering it, but I still need to do more tests with the KWG engine before I even attempt to take on BSC.  And even if I get KWG done, I'm not sure if I'm going to rebuild BSC after everything is said and done.
JakStrieder
12 years, 8 months ago
would you really have to rebuild the game? isn't there some way to convert it to this game maker system?

I'm HIGHLY fond of the idea of a Knuckles novel game as Knuckles has been my favorite Sonic good guy (and someone who deserves his own title game).
FeatheredAdventures
12 years, 9 months ago
Same here ^v^  Though the personality I've given Knuckles is based on fandom interpretations and my own head canon but I think it will all come out nice in the end.

Thank you for your feedback.  ^v^
Daneasaur
12 years, 8 months ago
You're very welcome.

And yes, I kinda expected that as well, but as long as it remains fun to play with, I'll be happy!

Hmm... here is an interesting question...

Will the option of oral, vaginal (where applicable) and anal be available for all possible partners?
I only know that this started as base framework similar to babysitting cream as I haven't messed with the application yet.

Does that mean a set ten days to do "whatever" with a set ending to take place, much like the seven days in BSC?

So far, it runs smoothly and I didn't find any problems exploring around. I know this is just barebones and there are no characters yet, but I found navigating the storyline easy and intuitive and it looks like it will be lots of fun once its a little fleshed up.
Excellent work!!!

Flash sites have got so bad, Ive had to dedicate a quad core just to play them. Meanwhile, Second Life runs far more reliably on the old third as powerful Dual core.

Im still trying to get round to finding out if in menu or macro, common word processors can give you lists of terms and words in scripts, so that errors show up far more easily. Should also work for data bases and code. Look for instances of Increment etc.?

Glad to see you are progressing nicely. Thanks for all thework. 8)

You might also look into something like Tads or Adrift, if you want more game with less bs. A few aif programs also allow pictures.

I was thinking why don't you add some sex scenes with Cream, Mina, and Tails mainly because it seems that they are the only ones that get left out and I think they need to be included as well. (I'm not being a pervert or anything I just believe in equality that if you do one then do them all!  lol)
DarkDragon
12 years, 8 months ago
im sure that the story for them with sex scenes and all is planed on diff days and depending on how you reply to them . it would be dule and boring if u can fuck every1 on day 1 lol . sure some people are easy but not every1
FeatheredAdventures
12 years, 8 months ago
Yeah, the game is 10 chapters long and while sex doesn't happen in all of the chapters, based on your decisions you can find sex scenes involving all the possible characters.  The thing is I've kind of broken tradition by having a couple sex scenes available at the beginning for some of the popular characters to pull the player in.  Trust me, there will be a couple scenes involving Tails, Mina, and Cream down the line.

just played it 1st time and its fun only bad thing is lack of pictures if poss can add some please.

Its fun tho.

Bit strange playing as nuckles instead of sonic maybe add were can choose cartor want to play like.

FeatheredAdventures
12 years, 8 months ago
We'll add pictures in due time.  It's been hell just trying to make sure the game engine works properly.  Also I chose Knuckles as the main character since he seems under-appreciated in a lot of Sonic fan works.  He's one of my favorite characters and deserves a day in the spotlight, especially after working on BSC.

Thank you for your reply ^v^

So far, so good. ^^

Nothing much more to complain, do keep an eye out for repeating dialogue boxes though. I'm surprised you managed to make an interactive story novel game out of Game Maker. I use the software due to the curriculum for Game Design and Development at college and I've always had conflicts with how the drag/drop software is set up.

It might just be me, but either way, keep up the good work! :3

Looks great so far! I played it a few times doing different things, just like I did with BSC. Keep up the awesome work!

So will this have any homoerotic scenes in it? Cause babysitting cream had a very small one and the reason for it not being more was something that I didn't get. So it would be really nice to have some in this one. I mean if a 3 way rape scene of cream is ok then a homoerotic scene or 2 with oral and anal should be just fine. At least in my opinion.

Nice project you have started, congrats!.

There´s one thing that i dont know if its done on purpose, but it´s kinda annoying that you cant stop music until you're inside the house in the beggining. I tried to disable it pressing scape key, and wopssss... the game closed. XD
FurryH666
12 years, 8 months ago
I just played this, aside from the already mentioned text errors, it plays pretty smooth. I agree with enmurcia though, it would be nice to turn off the music before being in the house, but that's just me nitpicking. Good job man ;) !

I don't know if I have anything to add to what has already been noted, but here is what I've noticed:
1) A few instances of a portion of the text running off the page.
2) A few spelling mistakes (not to be a spelling Nazi)
3) Maybe a mistake on the counting of "ladies" depending on whether Cream and/or Mina is/are being included in that characterization (depending on age and/or availability)...that is to say, one could count 3, 4, or 5 ladies depending on one's interpretation.
4) I haven't noted a place to "load" a saved game...actually, I am not sure if you can save a game at the moment.

But in all honesty, it looks pretty darned good, can only imagine what the finished product will be like with 10 days.

Good Luck!
