[GateKeeper]

@GateKeeper can you please help me i try running the game it opens in the browser but then gives me a fatal errer

One of two things is happening:
1. You have your browser set up to not save information (No cookies, that kind of thing.) and the game needs to store information in order to track variables in the game (Relationship values and the such.) By not allowing your browser to store information, it won't run properly.
2. Try a different browser. Some browsers are more friendly than others with browser based games. I use Firebox and I've heard Chrome is a good one for browser based games.

You are very welcome! Hope you enjoy the game!

Check out the wiki for clues on how to trigger scenes, and remember that the girls don't move on their own yet, so you'll need to summon them to rooms if you want to see their content related to that room/character(s).

"After the passing of your estranged Great Uncle, you're surprised to find yourself listed as the sole heir to his estate. With all the legal unpleasantness out of the way, you're now on your way to your new home.

Not sure what to expect when you arrive, you don't know if you're going to sell the mansion or live there, but once you step inside your entire world changes when you are suddenly faced with the fact that you now own two slave girls.

What do you do with them? Do you follow in your Great Uncle's footsteps and use them for your own pleasure? Do you treat them like servants? Or do you nurture a relationship with them that just might blossom into something more, . . ."

can some one post the A19 cheat version or is the cheat version patreon only

 

[GateKeeper]

Both the A19 and A19 CHEAT are Patreon only. The A18 build is the free build. When A20 comes out, then A19 will become the new free build.

 

[Scorpio1111]

ok that makes sense, what about A18 cheat

 

[GateKeeper]

Cheat builds are Patreon exclusives.

 

[Scorpio1111]

ok, its nice to have a interactive developer most of the times it is not the case. Keep up the good work on the game!

 

[GateKeeper]

Before I started creating my own projects, I sent out messages so several creators, and I almost never heard back from any of them. It made my day on the rare occasions I got a reply, and I wanted to be that kind of creator. I make an effort to reply to every message (Sometimes things fall through the cracks, but I try at least.), engage with the fans.

 

[Scorpio1111]

That is all most players want from a developer. Keep doing what you are doing, I am not financially stable enough to contribute, however I wish you luck!

That's why I make sure there's always a free build available. This may be how I pay the bills, but even so it's more important to me to share my work than get rich off of it.

Also, I post the game to about twenty different places, so I don't usually post updates everywhere I share new builds. That said, I post progress reports that area available to the public over on Patreon regularly if you want to follow what is going on with development. And we've got a discord as well if you ever want to drop in and just chat with other people interested in the game.

If I may make an observation, it seems like you are making life harder for yourself by focusing on events and neglecting actions. I could be wrong(I've never programmed in Twine), but it seems like a few actions would be almost trivial to implement and would add much to the gameplay experience. For example, a 'Play checkers' action could be a one-sentence scene and add one to trust. It would make sense, be easy to make(I think), and would give the player a small amount of controllable stat gain. Or maybe a 'Read to Eve' action, same thing. And if you want to get fancy with it, you could add unlock events for them, like finding a checkers set in town that isn't missing any pieces and buying it for them as a replacement for their current one. Or, if you think it would be too easy to spam, make it a once per day thing.

If it doesn't seem like a good idea, feel free to ignore it. It's just that I was thinking "If I was living in a house with someone that I wanted to be closer to, I wouldn't just wander from room to room hoping to find her falling off a ladder so that I could save her."

Actually, if you look at the last few builds, you'll see that we just recently added the basics of billiards (With the bare bones, for each of the girls. Got it in place for Anna in one build, got it in place for Eve the next.), set up the framework for TV shows in the last build. I'm actually working on creating "Hide and Seek" content for the younger sister right now that should appear in the next build of the game. So "Actions" are something that is getting added a bit at a time. We've also got someone writing code for playing several card games and a rebuild of the meals system is in the works.

You haven't found the checkers scene yet huh?

Working in twee, it's actually quite a bit more work to create something like a game (Billiards, cards, Hide and Seek, etc) for Inheritance than it is to create an interactive scene for the game. That said, I really love setting up functions like your suggestion, so that's something I DO want to add a lot more of to the game as it continues to grow.

Reading to Eve is a neat idea. I'll pencil that down for a rainy day. I was thinking about doing a sort of "Schooling" storyline, but it may be worth it to include the option of reading bed time stories or similar.

Also, I'm always open to ideas, if there's something you'd like to see, say something. If I like it, I'll get it onto my list of things to eventually add to the game.

I'm hoping to get movement into the game soon so the girls will start moving of their own accord rather than needing to summon them from room to room. (Actually saw you mention the ladder above and sent another message to the guy who is coding that, see if we can't light a fire under them.) At present, there's around 60-70 interactive scenes in the game across a wide range of rooms.

 

[WatchMeDrive]

So, in general, how far has development come along since A11? which was the last version I played.

 

[GateKeeper]

Well, The last three builds combined has accounted for roughly 100k words of new content. So that would take you back to A16. Don't remember how much for sure went into each build before then. I'd wager that we've more than doubled the interactive scenes since then. Added the grounds around the mansion and added the town near the estate recently, though neither have much content for them just yet.

The game is growing in leaps and bounds. If you're worried about how playable the game is, watch for the first Beta build (Right now it's Alpha, indicated by the A in the build number. That will change to a B once all of the major functions are in the game.

I'm not sure if I'm not understanding you, or if you're not understanding me. If it's the former, then I apologize. In case it's the latter, I'll try to make myself clearer. What you seem to be describing are what I would call 'mechanics,' systems that expand the gameplay beyond what already exist. What I'm trying to describe are single actions, such as an option in the Interactions menu that just says "Play checkers" and simply triggers a message that says "You play checkers with <interactee> for <time> minutes." or something like that.

I found an event involving playing checkers, if that's the one you're talking about, but again, it's an event. Triggered randomly, and requiring time and thought to write properly. If I'm underestimating how hard it would be to add menu options to the interactions menu, then I apologize, but as I mentioned earlier, from my standpoint it seems like adding "Play checkers" to it would be trivially simple. But again, I've never done anything in the language you're using, so I easily could be wrong.

One last, specific request: hugs. I'd love to be able to hug the girls from the interaction menu.

So, what you're talking about is things like the conversation system or punishment system? Something that you can trigger pretty much at will and you receive a short little scene in response. As far as coding those, it's about the same amount of work to code something like hugs/conversations as it is to code the sex scenes in the master bedroom. It involves me setting up a link (Easy) that takes you to an array (Pain in the neck), then the game selects a scene at random that you qualify for from the list before displaying that scene for the player to view (Easy). For those kinds of scenes, it's fairly common for the writing to include somewhere between 100-500 words of content, usually toward the low end of that. In contrast, setting up an interactive scene usually includes 500-5000 words of content (Usually toward the middle of that), it involves me setting up a link (Again, Easy) to the written content, then at the end of that when presented with a choice I set up a link for each of those choices (Easy) that takes you to the next segment of the scene. The big difference between the two is that the first one takes half an hour of coding to add a few hundred words of content, the second takes a couple minutes of coding to add a few thousand. That said, both are rewarding in their own ways, and I'll keep growing the amount of content for the game across the board.

I like the idea of giving hugs. That can be delightfully awkward at low relationship levels while being sweet and cute at higher levels. I'll put it on my list.

A couple of other things coming down the pipe for the game that might interest you:
-Going to have the option to take the girls for a walk in the woods,
-Got a function half built for the gym that allows you to spar with the girls (Started this quite a while back, just need to find the time to finish it.)
-Eventually you'll be able to take the girls bowling or to the movies.


I can see the hugs thing now:
Eve at low relationship levels, Anna at high relationship levels:
MC: "Girls, come here."
Both girls shuffle forward and you put your arms around both of them.
Eve: Stiffens in your arms.
Anna: Melts into your arms.
Eve: "Anna, he's hugging me, it's weird, and I don't think I like it."
Anna: Snuggles closer, "Just enjoy it Eve."
