As a Don't have experience with the Rags system just a stupid question.
Are in the scenes only written text or is there a "hidden" picture option.
Dont understand me wrong the text is fine!

Sadly it's just text at this stage, as I have no artistic talent, and paying for artists is expensive. I've currently got a commission going to improve the art a little, but no where near what I would like.

Hello there! Big thanks for making such awesome game and updating it regularly.

Two big bugs I noticed (v.0.501):
- Alison and Lucy stay at your home after joint payment and their event repeats next day. The same goes to Alison alone but Lucy works fine it seems, althought she's the only one you can ask for her payment before talking with Jillian. (btw. I'm curious if they're gonna return depending on your choices?)
- On second date with Angel and Jillian 'Be Dom' option doesn't work properly. It takes you to your home immediately and your picture still has green border. Suprisingly, after choosing it a few days later it gives the rest of the scene.

Small request, and advice:
- Could you please update your guide?
- Think about making more paragraphs and/or colured text for dialogues. Reading constant walls of text maybe a little tiring at least at small monitor like mine.

Can't wait for new content. Keep it up!
Good luck and merry christmas! :)

Thanks for the bug-spotting, it's now on the "list of shit wot needs doing".

I'll also try and get around to the guide sometime soon, maybe during the holiday, if not, once I get home and over my jetlag.

The paragraph spacing is kinda a hard thing to aim for honestly. Since everyone has a different sized monitor, and has the game at varying sizes etc. it's nearly impossible to tell what looks silly or hard to read for each person. For me most of the paragraphs often look a bit sparse, which is why they end up how they do. I will however play around with coloured text sometime and see if I like the results.

Could you detect window size and then modify you text code dependant on the size? You would have to make rough size s sure but all for the goly of the program. Also id like to know you requrements for something like rags if samsounsome idiot custom built it from the ground up just for you.

Detecting window size and adjusting might be possible, I'm fairly certain RAGS does allow you to add your own scripts. The problem with that is I'm in no way capable of such a thing. So, on the off chance RAGS has the kind of external support to allow it, I personally can't access it anyway.

As for the requirements...that's actually a tough question. The obvious stuff would be the ease of use, image displays, putting actions on all the things etc, but I figure you're looking to know some of the stranger things. If someone were to be building it ground up just for me, I'd want the layerable clothing option put in for sure, since I'd have to re-build it from scratch, I may as well improve the design while I'm at it. Also, looking back at the ease of use point, I suppose if it could be made to work with XML, I believe is the RAGS code of choice, so the existing content could be easily converted. Though that's not exactly a requirement. And since it'd be made just for me, I'd go ahead and ask for a better action system. Something where I could assign variables or groups to actions, and can just turn them on and off based on that. Also RAGS by itself only has one layer of choice per action, unless I've missed something. Being able to put multiple choices behind something would be great.

Why do you ask?

EDIT: BUILT IN MAPS WOULD BE AMAZING

Are the rags file open source? What i mean is, if i have rags installed can i just run it and then look at your code?
I think i might want to try a over haul of the system to add features it likely already has.
I guess i could just look at their API... But that's work!

The ones I release aren't, but that's more because I don't want to embarrass myself with my sloppy coding more than it is I care too much about protecting it, so I'd be happy to send you a copy without it.

I think it would be better if i just look at their API and implement features that way.

Hey just wanted to say great game and thanks for all the work, nice change from the more common TG and furry games out there. Nice to have some BDSM stuff also, as usually it's either almost nothing or super hard core.

Are Sasha and Kaylee going to be fleshed out as the weeks go on? I noticed that their "talk" drops off after a while (Kaylee's romance after a few meetings also), but I'm hoping it's just as the game gets built up. Hoping as you're good on the writhing and character stuff. Not often I laugh at the writing, but things like Kaylee and her comments about watching you if you've lost are really good. Adds an extra flavour to the game and has you playing for the story and not just new scenes :). Also not a bad way to subtly show your progress/status in the game.

-edit: oops nm, read the tread for hints and found it's already been asked :oops:. Glad to know it's in the plans, be funny if there's some comments on the after effects (like that nasty night with Lucy) from Kaylee lol.

Cheers,
T.

Glad you liked it, I made it specifically because I was sick of all the TG/furry/extreme/way too soft games that were out there.

And yeah, as I've said previously, I will get around to fixing it. The problem right now is that I take a while to complete the fights, then a while to complete the slave content, then when it's all done I've neglected the fights for so long I feel I need to do them ASAP, and so the talking gets put off for yet another week of content. And the dates will be caught up, I've been keeping track of where each romance gets to, and making sure it all has the same amount of content, so to speak. So expect Kaylee dates soon. Also glad you're enjoying the story, that was the main point of this whole thing really. I hate how many porn games use "it's porn" as an excuse to not make a good story. Not that I can claim Shield High to be a good story, since the setting is so over the top. Anyway, yeah, 0.6 is going to be the "Slow the fuck down and catch up all the small stuff" update. Also the pool update. All good cheesy stories about lesbian schoolgirls need a pool scene.

Hey, been playing this a bunch (well a ton actually :P) but got some thing driving me nuts heh (lots of triggers going on I think heh).

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Brandi, for the love of god how do you get her heh. I've seen it in some comments that you can. I've invited her to the Stacy pillow fight but she doesn't show. Tried looking for her at school (incase she needed a talking invite) but couldn't find her. By chance (a different run through, way after the pillow fight) I found her at the outside gym, but could only look at her.


Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Jen. Had rare occurance of us getting it together after the Stacy pillow fight (after she trained me). What triggers that? Thought I could combine it with losing to Regan later on as the two know each other, but again couldn't trigger the event again.


Spoiler (click to show/hide):

The Mistresses group I'm assuming other than the Regan mission is still waiting completion? If I refuse them, I don't get the combat they say will be coming. But the real question is something I read on teh blog about Lucy blackmailing you with film of you agreeing to help them? Haven't seen that at all (pity as I like Lucy heh).


Thanks muchly.

Edit:

Heh, one more quick one.
Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Either a bug report or I guess not finished. Jen saving you from Lucy's entrapment via a friend. Doesn't happen and the whole Lucy even with Jen unlocking you loops every night.

Answer to questions ENGAGE

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Brandi scene, be dating no one, win against Stacy, Brandi *should* be waiting for you the next day to ask you out. Only one date so far. She needs more love soon.


Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Jen? What thing with Jen? I have no idea what you're talking about.


Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Yes, The Mistresses are the current point of work, the next couple weeks will slowly pull all that together. This is also true for the Jen helping you with Lucy thing.


Hope this helped.

Is there a way to open a .rag file without having to install something? I am in the unfortunate situation of not having admin access on my computer, so I've got limitations on what I can do.

EDIT: Nevermind, installed on a flash drive, works fine.

Yes it did, thanks. Thought some might be in-progress still, but with complex threads you're never sure if you just didn't miss something heh.

For the Jen thing
Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Usually after the Stacy pillow fight she just gives you a little bit of training. In one case though it got more intimate. She said fight harder to really pull clothing off and things got intimate when you do etc. and there was talk about being sisters etc. I though it might tie into the Lucy scene thing (where Jen gets turned on when she frees you) and Regan the old friend. You know something where you have to trigger all three to start a romance up. But that Jen intimate bit after the Stacy pillow fight as opposed to just more training is rare, no idea how I got it the one time.

Or maybe it's more common but getting run over by other events (I think some Angle/Jill date stuff could be happening a the same time). Bit like the Brandi thing, it's so easy to pick up a relationship easy to miss that path. Will try that out later heh.


Thanks again,
T

Yes it is, however a complete re-make of the fight system is scheduled for early in 0.6, I just want to get this meaty section of plot out of the way.

As for that Jen thing, I've still got no idea what you're talking about. I don't remember writing anything like that. I'll look into it for you but I distinctly remember making a point of no sex scenes with Jen.
