Thanks, I will look into it.

Although this is still a prototype of a future game, there is still a lot of work to be done, well, for me it’s been a lot of progress over the year of developing the game.

To do all this in 5 days is really progress for me.

This is really nice! Is this only with CSS? I would like to achieve something like this, but as of now I am working on the start of the story a bit more, then I'll work on the UI.

Yes, this works with CSS.

Everything is ahead of you as long as you have the mindset to do something, everything will work out

 

[Feyschek]

By the way, here’s another piece of advice that has really become useful to me lately. Try using widget.

Example.



Now for more details.

We create a separate pass and give it a widget tag as shown in the screenshot. Next we will use this code.

<<widget 'newday'>>\

<</widget>>

How to use this code using my code as an example.

<<widget 'newday'>>\
<<nobr>>
<<set $Health -= 25>><<if $Health lt 0>><<set $Health to 0>><</if>>
<<set $Satiety -= 25>><<if $Satiety lt 0>><<set $Satiety to 0>><</if>>
<<set $Hygiene -= 25>><<if $Hygiene lt 0>><<set $Hygiene to 0>><</if>>
<</nobr>>\
<</widget>>

Next I do something like this.

<<button 'Go to bed' `either('Home')`>><<newday>><</button>>

Now the player, every time we use the sleep button, my widget will be triggered and all the variables will be subtracted.
Now the main thing about this method is that you don’t have to write the code for variables for their actions in each pass, just put this code <<newday>> and everything will work.

You may have noticed that on my screen there are many widgets located in one passage. That's right, these are separate widgets that I use in different situations in the game.

This is the advantage of this system: I don’t have to write code every time, I just need to take the widget and install it at the right time.

I hope this helps you

Thanks, I will try, I have some experience in CSS so I should be able to pull something off.

Thanks for the info and explanation. I am already working with some widgets, and indeed this makes a lot of things way easier.

Then there definitely won’t be any problems

It became a second wind for me when I started using widgets I would like the engine to be able to show code markup and generally look awesome

It really speeds developing up if you use widgets. If Twine would be able to show code markup, that would be so nice and much more readable.

No need to add <<nobr>> and <</nobr>> inside every widget. Just put them at the beginning and end of the passage.

 

[Feyschek]

It seems there is a plugin for the engine that, in theory, can solve this problem. Although I read that Harlow has such a function in contrast to the sugarcube.

No need to add <<nobr>> and <</nobr>> inside every widget. Just put them at the beginning and end of the passage.

I agree they are superfluous here, well, all the codes in my engine are a conveyor product
I use widgets in addition to working with variables and also with buttons, and to eliminate unnecessary problems I left <<nobr>> and <</nobr>> everywhere.

They still don’t do much harm to the code

Yeah, widgets are great. And just to clarify, I meant to put the <<nobr>> and <</nobr>> inside the widget passage, so only needing to do it once. Like this:


This also shows how it looks with the SugarCube2 add-on in VSCode. If you switch to Tweego (as I have), you can use any editor you want instead of using Twine's.

By the way, also a logical option. I'll have to find the time to rewrite all the widgets.

I've heard about Tweego, but I'm too lazy to jump between programs and then copy the code.

That's why I, like the laziest ass on the planet, wrote all the necessary codes for the engine, use Ctrl + C and Ctrl + v and shove them into the necessary passes.

By the way, I want to thank you for such a wonderful game like this https://f95zone.to/threads/paradise-found-v1-0-04-alcahest.37176/

No need to copy anything if you use Tweego. Run a .bat file with this code:tweego -w src -o index.html (this assumes your tweego files are in folder src). Then you just code in VSCode (or any editor of your choice), and when you save a file, the html is automatically upated.

Today I will try your method, because after 1 year of working with the engine, I finally realized that I was missing code markup.
Because when you start learning, this thing is clearly not the first problem that bothers you.

Yes, I loved Twine in the beginning, easy and fast to code in. But as the project grows, the disadvantages become more obvious.

Yes, I loved Twine in the beginning, easy and fast to code in. But as the project grows, the disadvantages become more obvious.

So I use the module and pipeline method.

I first write the code for all my functions in the game and then launch the production of the game. Then, like in a car factory, I simply add functions and options to the code as the game grows. The main code base is the same and therefore I don’t need to change it, I just add new features to it and that’s it

I really went towards this idea from the very first game I started making. Because such a thing will allow me to make other games later

 

[Cumlauder]

I am currently starting up development again for my game, due to personal reasons I couldn't continue development, but we're back on track. I'm currently adding jobs, fleshing out some of the already existing jobs, adding more girls, working on the dating app, and even adding travel destinations (flying) for even more gameplay

Hopefully, if all goes well, I'll have an update posted before the weekend.

 

[Cumlauder]

Okay, so the release of this version is a bit delayed, as I am currently converting all mp4 files to webm files so the size of the game is a bit smaller, as it's currently ~8 GB, which is very high because I used 1080p and 720p video. I'll keep updating this thread as the development is progressing.

 

[Cumlauder]

The updated version of the game should now be downloadable in OP. Let me know what you guys think of it, and if there are any bugs or anything. There should be a bit more gameplay and locations now, and the file size has shrunken down a ton, it's now at ~400 MB.
