HTML Abandoned Elder Adventures [v0.1] [Oveth]

[MissFortune]

Dev - your game is incest based, that is not allowed on Patreon. You need to make the character non relational by default i.e land lady and her daughter but let the user overwrite them via a variable. Like you do with the players name. Otherwise you'll be banned from patreon.

This is slightly inaccurate. There are quite a few devs who have incest content all over their games but simply use Patreon as a wallet to funnel their money and nothing more. Westane (The Company) is a great example of it. Mom and sister are explicitly titled throughout (if I'm not mistaken) and he/she is 1500 Patreon's strong. That being said, all it takes is one butthurt dickhead to change that.

That's why you have BuyMeACoffee, SubscribeStar, and even PayPal, if people want to support badly enough. Everything Patreon does can be done through a mailing list. It's not the end of the world even if one does get banned.

This is slightly inaccurate.

Well... it is actually accurate, today my Patreon page just got suspended for that. I'll be uploading a bugfixed Alpha only to follow Patreon's rules in the next few days. Sucks, but it is what it is.

Just change it into a teacher thing and make people choose the names and connection within the game.

Yeah that's what I did, I'm waiting for Patreon's answer, and if it's accepted I'll publish "the fix".

 

[razzia]

Seems interesting but very little content right now.
Gonna be waiting for next updates

Or you could set up a SubscribeStar as they for now have no issue with this kind of games .... and just forget Patreon as its getting to the point it is not worth the effort

Yeah, I'm still waiting for an answer from Patron cause I really want my game there, but if I have no other option, I will have to go somewhere else...

 

[Oveth]

Made a few changes to remove incest content to follow Patreon's rules. Overview, tags and links have been modified. As there is no new content, and I just changed a few lines from the story, I won't promote this "new version". Version 0.1 should be ready in a month or so, stay tunned.

Hope everyone is having a good day.

Hi there, after a lot of emails with Patreon support, a lot of changes inside and out of the game, they keep saying that my content isn't valid because there is "Adult Content, like pornography inside". They made me lose a week of work and as they really don't want my game on Patreon, I've decided to shut down my Patreon page (all money was refund) and open a SubscribeStar (hope this one is the good one). Here I let you my SubscribeStar link:

You must be registered to see the links

Hope you're all having a great day.

How to play the game on mobile

How to play the game on mobile

Hi, PraneshRF. Actually the game ins't optimized for mobiles. You can still play it online on a mobile on itch.io, but the experience wont be the same. Hope someday I have the time to port it to mobiles.

Hello everyone,

First of all, I hope you are all having a great day. So as you can see, I just release the Beta version with a lot of changes (changelog available). After the feedback I've received from Alpha version, you made me see that the game was way too grindy, so as you surely saw, I've changed the way the game works. There is only "two" stats to grind, one of them is upgraded by doing quests, no more spoilers.

I'll be relaxing a few days from the game and I'll be focusing on reading your feedback (If you can join my discord and write your review there, I would be very happy) and working on the new game roadmap (had to change everything haha).

Really hope you're enjoying Elder Adventures Beta.
Best Regards.

It seems like there is FAR less content now. You can only get dominance by doing quests with the principal, daughter, and granddaughter, but the daughter only gives you two quests, and the granddaughter and principal don't give you any. And of the 3 students that you can tutor after class, 1 of them needs 15 charm, 1 needs 15 dominance, and 1 needs 15 charm and 15 dominance. As far as I can tell, you can only get 2 dominance over the course of the game. I got to 100 charm pretty quickly by just grinding it, but there wasn't any reason to get it above 15.

EDIT: I just found a 4th girl that can be tutored after class by hitting backward and forward 40ish times until she popped up. I have no clue what it took to fuck her, but I guess I already met the criteria.

I don't make too much of a habit on commentating on HTML games as they are all practically the same on a technical or design level and the stories are the only things that differ. However, this intrigued me for some reason so I gave it a play. Few thoughts below:

• Non-Windows systems are case sensitive for filenames. MyPic.jpg, MyPic.JPG and mypic.jpg are all classed as different files on other systems and it results in broken images. You can change this by making the file extension of many of your images (JPG) lowercase (jpg). Almost every HTML developer makes this mistake until somebody points it out.

• The story is a bit off the wall and different which is why I thought I'd check it out. You seem to be able to populate the game with content so more power to you.

• The dress quest has a shop assistant who, for some reason, strips for a random elderly person. You should think of the porn scenes as a player reward for playing through the game, which they generally are. This quest seems to break with that though - I understand the plan to put sex in front of the player as soon as possible so they don't feel like it's an endless grind but that quest moved too far to the "I am magically irresistable to all women" side of things. A rethink might be in order as the timing of the scene is off and feels "free". As an idea, you could have multiple interactions with her to build it up over a space of time or you could drop the scene and work it into a storyline later in the game.

• There does seem to be a general lack of content even for an early version. A good practice in game development is to deliver everything you promise and possibly more. In the bathrooms and other rooms which currently serve no purpose, you're doing the opposite of that. If a player sees a room, they will immediately presume that there is some content in that room. Empty rooms are promising the player/setting their expectations and then not really delivering on it. The alternative to this is to keep the rooms and stick a "No content here yet" banner but it's still somewhat frustrating as it makes the game look bigger than it is. Managing expectations is important for an ongoing project.

• Along these same lines, there should never be an option to talk to someone that has no purpose. I can talk to the "housemates" and get a blank screen which is a wasted effort. Even if there are no story reasons to talk to them, a few random lines of dialogue can seem less like a waste. This only applies to the current build of the game where the characters are stationary - once your characters start moving around the house/city with different scheduling then it becomes a bit more acceptable.

Thank you for taking your time to write all this, I'll be working on what you just told me because I totally agree with you. Sometimes its hard to know what is good and what is bad when you're writing code and you don't have an extern vision.

there are pictures for a gym but i havent discovered it yet, anyone know how?

Gym has been disabled because I removed it from the game, but image is still there because I'm planing to add it on a later version.

Sure, getting that tunnel vision is part of the development process! Happens to us all.

Happy to see you having a think about these issues. There's a good/interesting game being developed in there somewhere and I'm looking forward to seeing future version.

Everyone else:

Its absolutely bare bones, I don't really know what the dev wants us to review.

I've played it, figured out the console commands and typed this up in under 30 mins. If I knew what i was doing from the start there is <10mins worth of content

176 image files
There are 4 girls you can have one scene each with at school in your office
and in effect one scene with 8 sex moves with you granddaughter

There is no attempt to use the same model or even similar models for each characters

Writing is legible but there is no depth to any of it.

The school scenes are triggered by teaching then going to your office. There is no messing around it happens straight away on your first day

Mary scenes are triggered by raising her relationship stats - go to her room and talk to her 25 (yes 25 times to get to the first scene) Every time you talk to her its the same thing. There is no build up, save your self the time and just enter the console command to raise her relationship score to 100. After the first 25 visits the relationship goes up by 2. TO see all scenes with out cheating you need to talk to her 25 times and then do one of the other actions 38 times

25 = kissing
50 = show ass, tits or pussy
75 = Bj/cunnilingus
100 = sex / anal

Console comands:
These are the only 2 that do anything at the moment

SugarCube.State.variables.player_energy =10000 - you can set this really high and then forget about it
SugarCube.State.variables.relation_mary =100

These will probably be of use in 6 months time

SugarCube.State.variables.bill

SugarCube.State.variables.player_charm =100
SugarCube.State.variables.player_clean =100
SugarCube.State.variables.player_energy =10000 - you can set this really high and then forget about it
SugarCube.State.variables.player_fitness =100
SugarCube.State.variables.player_health =100
SugarCube.State.variables.player_intelligence =100
SugarCube.State.variables.player_money =10000


SugarCube.State.variables.relation_principal
SugarCube.State.variables.relation_mary
ugarCube.State.variables.relation_lucy

do you have any idea what these would be named on the online version? just sugarcube. does not seem to work.

Case is important it needs to be SugarCube. not sugarcube. but this will only work on the offline verions

Hello guys, just a fast couple news:

Patreon: Page is back, but no content will be uploaded there, all tiers benefits will be posted on my Discord private channels.
Bugfix: I just edited the thread, you have now a link to a .html bugfix that solves the problem of broken images. Thanks to dspeed for pointing it out.
Itch.io: As I released the bugfix for broken images, online version now works perfectly.
Dev: As I said a couple days ago, I'll be taking a break for a few days to rethink some parts of the game. Hopefully in a few weeks new version will be released.
News: I've been using F95 to post news everytime I released something, from now, as Patreon is back and 0.1 release is close, I'll start using my privates Discord channels to notify my Patreons and SubscribeStart users. But don't worry, I'll still be answering some questions, watching feedback and writing a few things for new releases.

Hope you're all having a great (and corona safe) day.
Best Regards,
Oveth.
