Unity Completed Mystwood Manor [v1.1.2] [Faerin]

[EmperorGus]

I'm an old DOS-Jockey (actually I started before I got my hands on DOS, remember the Frael Bruc 100 or the Sharp MZ80B? And of course the all famous Amiga 2000C),...

I really hope that's not an attempt to say "Hey, look! I'm old-school!"
Because for that you need to go back another decade.
Maybe try mentioning the TRS 80 (Cassette tape storage, didn't have floppies yet) and then the Apple II.

Nah, that I said in the first sentence "I'm an old DOS-Jockey". The rest was just me, who tends to just keep 'talking' when digging up old memories. But if I wanted to, I would dig up my experience with Xerox (that's the system Apple copied everything from) and Siemens Nixdorf computers. But those I usually don't count, since I didn't have them at home. I only had access to the Siemens for a few weeks anyway. That was a office business machine with several terminals (and I don't know the model, but the central hard drive was HUGE!). The Sharp had a tape btw (and is just as old as the Apple II btw.), the Frael didn't have anything, had to type in the the programs myself - every time. But it was a good learning experience.

edit: Btw. About "Go back another decade": to 1968? I wasn'teven born then, also the stuff we both mentioned exist at that point.
edit2: Anyway, my point was: Even us old relics need to adapt, people today work very differently and we're creating stuff for them, not for us.

I first started out tinkering with the Atari 2600 before I got my first computer (Apple //c). On Apple, I started playing around on BBSes, wrote a beginner's guide to AD&D in Apple BASIC (completely playable just like the book) and ventured into what used to be called "IBM Compatible" with an IBM PS/2 286. Ran a small single-node BBS using WWIV on that.

Did I just date myself? lol

Sorry, while I had the Atari 2600 (and a simple Pong type game console whose name eludes me, but already with variations like soccer - two bars on each side, not the whole baseline is a goal) I only started "messing around" with the C64 and then moved to PC via Atari 500. So I am too young to continue this discussion

However, I would still argue that usability on the first level comes at the price of control and usability on the second level. Especially if, as shown above, programs do not really care for standards. And especially in the age of having a system SSD disk and a standard HD for the "heavy" stuff the clutter can become worse for the uninitiated - "Why is my disk full? I bought a 16TB disk" - yes, but everything got written onto the 512GB one.

If you just do the standard stuff - email, surfing, maybe a letter here and a spreadsheet there, two minor games to keep you entertained - this is more comfortable, agreed. However there comes a point when you just have to delve a bit deeper into the workings of a PC.

On which side of this point "save game locations for amateur lewd games" is situated is of course debatable. But I see an educational option here: show some of the workings of the PC with a suddenly motivated audience

I know a couple of people who have used a C64 before, but I don't recall ever playing around on one myself. In middle school (when I was in 6th grade at the time) we used Apple in math class, but that's really as far as I got. Those, I believe, had the cassette tape drives, IIRC.

My C64 also had one (called "datasette tape" because cool and hip) until I saved for a year and more to buy myself the VC1541 disk drive. Incredible stuff: 170kB of space and it only took like 10 minutes to load that.

Also, we were loading uphill in a snowstorm without boots on but we didn't complain

I wanted to share with you guys the re-work I'm doing right now on the quick guide to make it easier to read (and hopefully condensing the guide as well). Opinions/thoughts, anyone?

Update:
Well, I was hoping I could condense the PDF by making changes to the staff events layout but ended up adding 2 additional pages bringing its total to 19 pages long now. I'm still pleased with the way it turned out though.

Been 15 days in game and the guest still wont go into the specific room I need them to be in to further the story.
Is there anyway I can lure them to the room I want?

Not sure which room you're referring to, however, if you are only taking 1 star guests, they won't go into some rooms. I think you need to bump that up to maybe 3 or 4 stars.
Boy, that's horrible wording but I hope you get what I mean.....

I was struggling to get Jim Daslon into the bar. Deigo is also being a pain and wont go into the gym.
I guess I'll just have to keep at it and try and luck out if there's no way I can lure them to those rooms.

Gym is a level 2 room, are you picking Diego at level 2 in lobby?

That's a console from Conic, maybe the Conic TV 101-04

or the Conic TV Sports TG-621, which I had.

But then again they made so many different types (also Coleco Telstar made several Pong consoles), it could be another one as well. If I remember correctly it had 4 game modes. 1/2 lines per player and the variation with that obstacle you mentioned. A couple of years ago I built a pong console with a built in 16x10 LED screen from a kit to get that retro feeling.
We didn't have the money for a C64, buying computers became possible only after the C64 was already outdated. The other machines before that I had borrowed.
edit: I'll stop now, sorry for the Off Topic posts.

So, if that's what yours looks like(ish) then, like S3pHiroTh said, you need to take on at least level 2 guests. In your lobby you would click on the number, mine is 4, but then you can select other levels according to your needs and what your hotel is at.
To get Diego, I had to re-roll a couple times but eventually got him with the Gym room in the mornings.

Sorry was tacking on a bit more info as my first post was pretty bad.... lol

Showing my age now the thing you're talking about was a Binatone TV console

 

[maximovich]

I downloaded the game and extracted the game files to watch the videos directly, to see if it would be worth spending time on the game. Frankly they are terrible, 2 second loops with grotesque faces and not very fluid animations. The concept of the game is interesting but for the prize, the sex scenes, it's not worth playing it.

 

[Sorrow_Harvester]

There were problems with the game a few versions ago ( it froze whenever an animation was going to start ), now I'm having the same problem again... here:

I started over again just in case it was the thing to do to overcome that issue but now I'm stuck in an early animation:

Do you know what's the problem here?
