HTML Haunted Inheritance [v0.20] [AltrisDynam]

[Swedra]

ooh this looks interesting

Nothing really here. Seems like someone's first game as well.

Correct on both counts. I have a lot of experience with short stories, but wanted to do something I could share and I love CYOA stories. Keeping this simple to properly set expectations for my skill level. Short story with various ending between good and bad.

Good start! I think this is definitely something you could flesh out into a smaller but complete game with many branches and endings. Keep at it!

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I've been a fan of this forum for years so I fully plan to release everything here for free. I hope the end result is something people actually enjoy.

ooh this looks interesting

The next plan is to actually be interesting.

Nah man, all good. I definitely appreciate the constructive criticism and as I said I had similar feelings. This is merely a proof of concept, of sorts, with the basic tone and style for the project. I actually find some of the stuff comical too as you mentioned. Was there something specific that stood out as funny to you? The entire Bad End gives me a chuckle because its a little absurd and really fits the 'Don't stick your dick in crazy' saying.

Fav line: 'wondering if it was a wise decision'

and Yeah, like you said...sticking it in crazy...lol

Good job
Have Fun!

Still beats me who was left with a tiny piece of never the less very productive and fertile land that was popping out "lots" of money relative to its tiny size and then my parents basically stole it and even butchered the trees (which was what was popping out the money in the first place). Also them literally stealing me 2.5 months worth of salaries in inheritance from the other grandparents and thats not even half of it.

Still still beats thinking the dead person had some money as he always told you, accepting the heritage and finding out that, surprise, it's debt !

When I first encountered "the woman" I first thought ol' grandpappy has a few secrets and got himself caught up in some kind of weird slave trade. Then she wanted me to take off my pants so I'm thinking she's a well trained slave grandpappy definitely has a few secrets he kept from grandmama. Then the fangs came out and I'm thinking grandpappy wtf? This is not a good way to keep the bloodline going keeping this kind of company around.

There's just the one path currently correct? Seems like I couldn't get into the mansion and the only path available was to check out ol' grandpappys hog shed.

I'm partial to horror and ghost women so what's there is great, glad I clicked. Thanks for sharing.

For now, yes. I'll be updating the thread with more. Everything for free.

Now that's good, and please don't lose sight of your initial idea as the creator of Black Rabit, ignore the request for more character until you deliver what you want to deliver, we think about the Community after the idea is delivered.

Yep, fortunately I am well aware of my shortcomings as of now so sticking to short story + 1 character other than POV character. I'll build slowly while keeping it to just enough to do what I want to without any bloat to just get in the way.

Been taking last two days using excel to draft the plot map, ending goals, key items, literal map, etc to make sure I keep my thoughts straight.

A empty game should take definitely less than 2 months to be filled with content.

Well, he's still have a life out there, let's just wait.

Well, he's still have a life out there, let's just wait.

Once starting to ask for money, there is nothing like "life".
Also, the patreon page is pretty empty. The last announcement was at release, since then, completely silence. It takes just a few minutes to write something if the game is still on work or already abandoned.

My mom died suddenly a couple weeks after my last update. I'll add more when things settle here.

For what it's worth I'm more than half way done.

Alright, I am back and working on this project again. Things are... less hectic with some family issues, but regardless I'm back. I'll post soon a new early demo like the original post included. I have a few things I've worked on and I want to see how it all plays out. I've also been fiddling with the core art style to better get the 'feel' I want for the project. Anyway, sorry for the hiatus. Shit happens sometimes. I have one of the test images I tossed together. Not 100% settled on style, but it is more or less what I am considering.



I'll be rewriting... uh... everything. Starting in about 5 minutes.

No problem, work at your pace, it's good to see you again.

Small Update: Ran through all of my plotted information and did tweaks here and there. Changed to slightly better engine for easier access to basic functions that would make the play experience better. Obvious things like Save/Load feature and simple inventory. Been remaking art assets as I go in the newer style. Tossing a few of the test images here... cause why not?

Rewrite is going fine. It's not exactly a 'long' story, but did want to add in some variation in ending/event flow so going from there. Already plotted out 9 endings for now. Will probably end up with 12 total between 'Bad Ends' and genuine endings.

Main thing right now is making sure the basic structure is everything I need. Not a big deal since google exists and truth be told the system itself is pretty simple stuff.

 

[AltrisDynam]

Might as well put my Patreon update here as well:

Weekly Update: 11/22/2024

Progress going well and pretty much 95% of the behind the scene work in regards to plot/items/endings/story/etc are done as well as the system details I want/need. Writing has been going on for a bit as well as rewriting.

Anyway, my goal is completion by end of year, but if I am not too busy with holidays it's possible for as early as end of November.

Tossed in three more test shots I made for project.

New build is up. I hope anyone enjoys it. Let me know if you have any issues or questions!

Nothing here yet. Wait until about 10 more updates.

Yep, not much yet. The point was to get the base build since I started it entirely over a few days ago. Any issues with the flow? The way visuals are represented? Is the art too small or in the way when going to passages and trying to read the text?

Is it just terrible and not worth bothering with as a project?

I've working way out of my wheelhouse as someone that usually only writes so altering to a different medium with no experience in it has growing pains so just trying to see if there are any glaring issues that others might notice that as the creator I just don't see.

Truth be told, it's only a short story so it's not going to be very long anyway~

This project exists as a way to put something out there to see what works and does not work for player/reader so I can address and do a better job in future. This first build is simply to do something similar for the project itself.

P.S. Thanks for actually checking it out.

Interesting take. Reminds me of the old Zork game. Few comments, in addition to correcting words, better syntax eg commas helps with readability; and more re my person taste, shame the only reaction of the MC is to run away or attack the girl/creature; shame the creature's only reaction to the HJ and cum is disgust/disdain. Be nice to have nipples slightly erect. one pix : Continuity error? Her breasts changed, seem. much smaller
Look forward to further iterations.
Thanks for your work.
