HTML Sluttown USA: Hometown Corruption [v0.35] [AmusingOddity]

[phupdup]

That's a weird one. I don't go places I don't need to when playtesting, especially not when they are empty. I doubt AO put in something like this for playtest since he actually does have a module he can drop in to create debug versions of the html where you can play with the day and time and have extra internal stats.

I should note that I caught a state change bug on the Romi/Elliott path during playtesting. Here's what I reported privately:

The sequence where Romi and India go out on the town clubbing and MC lets Elliott free to jerk off for 45 minutes has $romEllStory jump from 8 to 19. So we skip over the whole wardrobe change and name change events at level 13, etc.

When I was playtesting, I changed that back in the console and didn't fix it in the phupdup3 version that I attached. Since you guys didn't get a final 0.11 version from anyone, I just fixed it in the attached phupdup4 version. This:

    <<nm "India" "Alright $romi, I think you're officially drunk. Come on I'll take you home to bed.">>

    You slip up the stairs ahead of them and climb into bed for the night feeling happy with the progress you've made today.
    
    <<set $romiEllStory to 19>><<addTime 1>> <<levelUp "Romi">>\

becomes this:

    <<nm "India" "Alright $romi, I think you're officially drunk. Come on I'll take you home to bed.">>

    You slip up the stairs ahead of them and climb into bed for the night feeling happy with the progress you've made today.
    
    <<set $romiEllStory to 9>><<addTime 1>> <<levelUp "Romi">>\

So I'm playing v0.11, and I just noticed something weird. If I go to the bathroom at home when it's empty, it does the Romi and Elliot story. Seems like it's leftover from testing. I tried the html version in image pack #2 and the one phupdup just posted. Both are doing it.

What's funny is that I really like this game but can't really say why. Prob the mind control part, maybe the incest as those are both my fav kinks.
Normally I'm not big on html games because the porn scenes are so bad and use so many different people who are supposed to be the same MC and characters.... I mean, you can be in one scene being a young fit guy, to the next scene being an old fat guy, to who knows in the next one. AmusingOddity seems to have done a good job with this, maybe better than most.
-------------------------------
I would love to see AmusingOddity fix the navigation in the game. It gets really old going through so many pages just to get to the next scene.
I mean, to get from the MC's office to his sister's apartment, you need to
Click on the balcony
Then click on the lobby
Then click on the school gate
Then click on town
Then click on the apartment building
Then click on her door to get in.

That gets really old..
----------------------------------
Would also like to see him fix the HelloClitty and Xev hints.
You can hire HelloClitty as many times as you want and it won't change anything after awhile.
Also, I guess we don't really interact w Xev and the porn videos anymore (which I'm glad of), so that hint could go as well.


Some of the random pictures of girls are good but some look like pictures of homeless people.

Thanks for hangin in there Phupdup. I swapped out html files w yours but have only played a little and
it does seem like the spelling is better. I've only played it for a couple minutes with yours, though, as I'm finished w this update.

Cheers

Crap that post was long.... Sorry about that.

(would also like more ways to skip time rather than having to go back to the bedroom)

The Elliot and Romi stuff is bugged. It skips ahead after the first couple of hypno events to full sex stuff.

 

[phupdup]

Read my post above. phupdup4 fixes that. If you have gone past that scene, go in the console and set the state back to 9.

So, did we all just sort of give up on the latest release 11?

Thx
Cheers

I have no idea what's happening with what I sent to the uploaders. After getting nothing back after sending it a second time I went ahead and updated the front page myself, but that means it didn't get pushed as an update. The links on the front are to 11. 12 will be out in about 2 weeks. Hopefully whatever the issue is will be fixed by then because I don't really know what else I can do about it.

I agree that the navigation could be improved. I learned to use some shortcuts in which a route that would be longer in the real world takes less clicks in practice. For example, from the MC's office you can reach the town via the "Home" shortcut:
Click on Home
Then click on Suburbs (or Map)
Then click on Town

Following the route Office->Home->Suburbs->Town requires one less click than Office->Balcony->Lobby->School Gate->Town.

But this is not very intuitive, especially for new players. It would be better to have a shortcut to the Map from anywhere in the school, especially from the MC's office.

Also, the Map could have direct links to more locations. If the top row shows the MC's house and the main parts of the town, then the column under each of these main locations could include some shortcuts to the frequent destinations (only if they are already known by the MC and, for the bus, if the MC has a valid ticket). In the following example, I arranged some common destinations in columns and I added an extra padding of 2em between them:



Another alternative would put "Home" under "Suburbs", with even more padding between columns:


But having the Map available from anywhere and providing shortcuts to more locations could also cause some problems: some events are triggered when the MC passes through specific locations (e.g., meeting Xev in the Suburbs) and it may be necessary to add more triggers in case the player always uses the shortcuts and never follows the current route.

Note to AO: there is also a minor thing that has annoyed me for a long time: at the school gate, please swap the links to the Lobby and Town. When I come from the Town or from the Map and I enter the College, I usually want to go to the Lobby, not back to the Town. The link to the Lobby should be the first one on the left. Most of the locations that can be reached from the Map have the most likely destination as the first link on the left... except for the College in which they are reversed. I had too many missclicks that sent me back to the Town.

On the other hand,
the navigation probably just seems more annoying at the moment
because I was mainly just chasing one girl. Toward the start of the game
I was zipping all over the place.

I still think this game is really fun.
AO, I know I suggested several things but really they are just little things
and not COMPLAINTS... Doesn't even matter much if they are changed.
Hang in there, you're doing great. I'm sure you have one hell of a to do list already, lol


Cheers

Shouldn't this have an NTR or Sharing tag? The main character seems more into getting the girls to fuck other people than himself a lot of the time (sister and her friend, aunt and Elliot, assistant and students etc.) And that's when picking Private route at every available opportunity.

Does someone know how to open the console in the quest 2 browser?

Where can I actually download the game? The links showed are all image packs and bug fixes.

Thanks AmusingOddity for getting the listing and download mess all straightened out!

Does anyone know if its possible to set variables to get me back to india before the private/public choice? I'd like to see the new character but slogging through everything again even with cheated money/energy sounds like torture.

I tried to do it by hand but I'm guessing it checks more than just the story progress variables and it broke.

 

[gundam_00]

how do i progress with xev? i can upload vids but nothing else . any ideas?

 

[anominous]

sleeping sets my charge to nan.... and there's nothing that works after that. was that one of the issues fixable with the editor?

Hi

I'd appreciate if you can make a online version of this game as it downloading and replacing a lot of stuff gets annoying this is an amazing game and would save alot of time and effort

 

[phupdup]

That's never happened to me during play testing, but you can just set charge to a number like 500. Don't use quotes on that and don't go overboard on the amount there. I wouldn't be surprised if doing a number with too many digits causes the interpreter to make it a NAN.

[phupdup]

That would require a server to host the content and how does that get paid for again? Keeping the content links set to where AO got the original media will cause the dreaded internet bit rot condition and likely piss off folk you do not want to piss off.
