HTML Abandoned Will of The Vampire [v0.2 Build 0082] [rudeboyuk]

[Tentacle]

Firefox. Once the game tab is closed, the game files cannot be moved either until the browser is closed entirely., meaning they are still being used by the browser. This doesn't happen with any other HTML games .

Didn't happen to me, I gave up on the game after day 377, still stuck on the mission "Await an arrival" nothing to do, don't know where to go. So I close the tab and deleted the game. It deletes quick enough.

Also I need to some to go through the 'chat up' code to make that a bit less long winded too to speed up the whole process, especially for the workers as yo don't get the 'enthral' payoff for them.

I was thinking a good way to fix this is just, as a your familiarity level, or score (or whatever the official term is) with a particular woman increases, so does the number of moves you get before the encounter ends.

Ugh, problem:

After complaining about how long it takes to "entice" Worker 1, I did manage to finally catch her, yesterdayish. But when I opened the game just now, she was apparently gone. My business stats are all back down to $0, and if I go to the call center or ask the OM about my employees, I get a "0-length" error message:

I'm at day 375
Still Await an arrival, so how long do I have to wait? Or is that another bug?

Have you been in the hallway in the evenings? Might have to force that I guess, or add an alert about hearing the doorbell no matter where you are in the house, as it is easy to miss I guess (easy when you know to expect it), though it will wait for you to be there.

See you've deleted the game anyway. Sorry to lose you, but time is precious of course. Perhaps try again when the game is closer to a complete build?

Taken a first bash as reducing the grind on this today. It should allow easier/quicker enthralment/enticement of the first batch of girls. I'll work a reason for this into the story at some point. Undoubtedly will still need tweaking, but things should be much improved.

Well now that's odd! I have no code that could remove someone from the array. Most curios. Could you save to a file and attach that to a post for me so I can dive in a look at what might have happened?

Sorry, but how that could happen is beyond my knowledge. I can only assume something very weird happened. I've not had that happen here and it's just plain old Twine/Sugarcube code. I don't even have anything trying to write out to files or anything (other than in the built in save system)

 

[EPGerhart]

I use Firefox, because there's something set somewhere in Chrome (that I can't find) that prevents me from saving games in progress.

Ah, not enough knowledge of the save system to help much as it's all built in. Although saves this early in a games development are troublesome since so much can change between builds that they just break, hence the every growing 'jump in' links I have on the start screen.

I'll give the game another try, it's got a good premise, just tons of bugs right now. I'm using firefox as well it it seem to work fine.
The firefox problem might be a PC problem. Twine usually do take alot of memory to run, but it should be fine for most computer.

I've been playing for a bit, but rn i'm stuck, my to do is empty and i can only try to enthrall two humans, i don't really see how to move on with the story right now. Any help?

 

[Tentacle]

Finally got pass the waiting. I was using the map function to move around so those timed events didn't fire. That's something that should be looked into and fixed when you do timed events. Or an easy fix would be to give more of a clue in the quest text. Mention the place and the time where you should be.

Here are some minor bugs that I found:
1. After picking your vampire name, the final choice has a spelling error "Then is is decided."

2. When you display your info at the bottom this is displayed instead of cash
Cash: $ $player.cash

Do you recall that last item you did on the todo list? It shouldn't really run out now until you are in the US.

yeah my todo list is empty as well, the last thing I did was "find out what your sister is upto in the conservatory".
The game is way too grindy.

Well it's very early days so at the moment it's just systems in place without any kind of balancing, as it can't really be balanced until all the individual parts are in place. Always the way with my games sorry. Was the same with Online Girl, and even in it's completed state some found that too grindy too. If I make it too easy early on, then it will make the later game just silly. Not that there isn't a lot to fix in the game that exists right now, but really hard to get right when so much is changing all the time. Things tend to settle down at the half way stage so around build 0.5 I would wager.

Yeah, i had to see what my sister was doing in the conservatory, after that my to do list just went empty.

Hmm, that is the end of a quest line, so at some point you should also have had one about training with uncle again, after which the quest "Continue visting the bar and reach your first Enthralment" should have been added. Do you recall anything about that, have you enthralled a girl yet?

noop can't enthrall any girls, I did went to the bar and tried couple of times, so far no success, and the grind is getting to me so was too lazy to keep trying, the girls just keep rejecting you and there doesn't seem to be any feed back on how to get on their good side.

Oh and I did seem to remember that the todo list had 2 lines, one is find out about your sister in the conservatory, and the second line is you can train with your uncle again. I started doing yoga with sis, and trained with uncle again, then the todo list went blank.

Just ran through the game as I was testing my latest buid and after that training there is a todo to enthrall a girl. Perhaps it being missing is an old bug. Seems to be working in the new build. This latest build has reduced the grind for ChatUps somewhat, although I'm not 100% sure it will effect old saves, but there is a chance.
