HTML Abandoned Fighting It [Ivy-v1] [ef_it]

[NewTricks]

It is a testament to how good this text-based game was that people are still talking about it after it was slapped with the abandoned tag. There is a forest of abandoned text-based HTML games out there that people don't give two shits about.

Wrong. Text-based games are just niche, so they're in the minority. A lot more games of other types abandoned as the devs focus on trying things like VNs, something more visual to have a better chance. Currently, a veritable Mount Olympus of abandoned games.

But the rest you're right. Text games are easy to make, but extremely difficult to do right.

I'm wrong but I'm right? About what? This game isn't good? If so, why? Did I say there are more abandoned HTML text-based games than graphic VNs? Citation needed. It seems like we are talking about two different things.

What are the best text-based games like this one ?

Not to sound critical of the Developer but more of a question: Is English your second language?

The reason I ask is just by looking at the preview pics and reading the text's i can see many errors in the wording and spelling. Granted this is a first release but posion should be position (( this one is in the last preview pic first line 2 second word. Maybe before positing it in english find a english speaking person with better skill level then you to help you proof read an improve the over all quality of your game.

1: i should be capital I, 2: "first line 2 second word", what is a two second word?.. 3: find an english speaking person not a, 4: Then should be than, 5: an should be and.. 6: And overall is one word. Probably not you he should ask lol.

Reread what I said carefully. You're right in saying that most HTML games or text games can be of unsatisfactory quality, because as I said, it's easy to make text games, but very difficult to do it right.

You imply that most abandoned games are text games, when this is clearly a mistake. Text games are and always will be niche. If you look for abandoned games, most are visual games that didn't get substantial support and were abandoned.

This pattern is just the same for text games and visual games.

Casting Director, The Company, Become Someone (Although not great. Mom and sister are the ugliest choices and there's a ton of grind when I last played), Unexpected Expectations (Unfinished and updates are becoming rare), I remember kind of liking Corrupted City, Maybe Young Maria? I'm probably forgetting a couple. And none of those are really 1:1 equals to this one btw

I imply NOTHING! Reread MY post again carefully. I don't mention non text-based games at all. I don't say the majority of abandoned games are text-based, and you seem to be a visitor from some strange alternate reality where I did. "A forest of" means "plenty" not "More than that other forest."

Hmm, I understand. So it was a misunderstanding. In this case, we are in full agreement.

It's interesting to see how people seem to remain lurking in abandoned games, games that have been abandoned for several months or years. It is also curious, because nowadays there are many options and even so it happens.

This was a fun little game with less grind than a lot of these types of games have. I just wondered what else might have been added to it if it hadn't been abandoned. The lettering system kind of implied there might have been 26 love interests eventually, meaning 17 to speculate on.

I think what I liked about this game more than others of the type is its flexibility. Although it did have an appreciable amount of grind you saw the results of that grind more swiftly and your playthrough began to take shape. Yet you could also change direction if you didn't like the way things were going. It was possible to play it as an incest game, a harem game, or an NTR game. If you only wanted to focus on one love interest you were very likely to get her. It was possible to get them all, albeit with colossal effort. It was possible to get none of them. It was possible to let them slip into cheating on you, intentionally or not, especially when you tried to juggle them. The possibilities made the task list of each day something you had to plan and consider instead of mindlessly clicking through. Learning how to manage your energy and lust levels, while simple, was essential to shaping your playthrough the way you wanted to. A lot of text-based games make the mistake of making a sandbox where you just stumble around not knowing where the characters are hoping you are in the right place at the right time to get a scene. This game solved that early on by letting you know if a girl was there before you clicked. And even if you clicked where she was, you didn't need to engage with her.

I have said similar stuff like this on the thread before, but I think that the design of the game leads itself well to replay value. You can try to play identically to a previous playthrough and get different results. Yet those results will still be in the neighborhood of what you were aiming for. There is a lot to learn in how this game was set up, although it did have its problems that in the end led to the dev discontinuing it.

My last playthrough was a MILF only playthrough.

Was the source code ever made available for this game? Is there a git somewhere?

Send Ef It a private message. If you ask nicely maybe they will hook you up.

You can always just use tweego to decompile the html into a twee file.

Thanks, I'll reach out, but if it's not published assume it's buried.

Source code would be easier b/c it'll be laid out in some logical order.
Can you use tweego as a decompiler? I've only used it to compile finished code.

You can absolutely decompile a Twine game using tweego. The resulting file is more or less as easy to work with as whatever code the author wrote; if they indented their code nicely when they wrote, it will still be indented when it's decompiled and so on. I've decompiled Fighting It before and it's well-ordered.

 

[NG1906]

... and decompiled.
You're right; it's well ordered and easy to follow.

Sad it's abandoned. it was a funny nice game.
