As a lowly goblin, can you talk your way into the princess' tower? (and panties?)

Let Me In is a new game project I've designed, with a gameplay style based around typing phrases directly to the princess in real language, and trying to persuade her by saying things you've come up with yourself.

This is the full release version of the game.

The very first thing that bothers me so far, whenever I try to use the word do, it puts down after I press space automatically. Same with of automatically changing to offer.

It's best if you turn off autocomplete (which you can find in the edit menu). It'll mess up your phrasing a lot.

Re: Let Me In (alpha v0.3 updated 30 Jun 2015)

So after playing around with it for a bit, I've become a bit confused.

She says she is nineteen winters old.
She says she has not been outside the tower since her fifth winter.
She says this tower has been my home for ten winters.

10+5 is 15.

Is one of these wrong in that case? Or am I just reading this wrong and misunderstanding something.

That's just a mistake on my part I'll fix it for the next one, and change it so she's either been inside for 14 years or she's been in since she was 9.

Re: Let Me In (alpha v0.3 updated 30 Jun 2015)

Was just wondering, am I supposed to be able to tell her I'm a soldier, a prince, and a king?

I would've imagined she'd be suspicious if I mentioned being different things, or is she really gullible enough to believe I'm all 3?

Those will contradict each other in the final version, but for now you can still get away with it

So I'm sorta in between computers now so I can't try this out yet, but these type it yourself games have the potential to be amazing, way too frustrating, or both.

All I'm going to say is, "Ye cannot get ye flask."

Not sure how much help it will be, but here's my transcript:

Got to ending one in the end. Getting Trust seemed harder than Arousal; I suppose that makes sense.

How hard can it be? I am good with words.
*instantly puts foot in mouth*
-I am a goblin.
FFFFUUUUUUUU

That took an almost embarassingly-long time to figure out the ending 3's excuse. It only clicked when I realized how much she played up the "snake-infested grass". This is rather nice, I hope to see it fully completed later on!

Re: Let Me In (alpha v0.3 updated 30 Jun 2015)

I didn't even realize she played up the snake infested grass. I just remembered it mentioning a snake at the beginning when you were hunting for food.

Thanks very much, that's helpful!

There's a couple other things you can talk to her about that result in her talking about snakes (such as asking her if she wants to see your penis) and the snake-infested grass, so those coupled with the possibility to tell her you're injured lead to only one conclusion.

I didn't show her my penis until after saying I got bit by a snake though.

If you put them under spoiler with a warning - I don't see why not.

Spoiler

Anyone know why I get this message?

This seems interesting, even though I haven't gotten very far.
Thing is, something about it is seriously messing with my Win7, after starting LMI, any time I try to delete something or right-click on files, the Explorer crashes.
Everything's fine after a reboot, constant Explorer crashes after starting LMI.
I'm not even sure it's something you can do anything about, might just be the engine...

That does sound like it's the engine, rather than my game. One alternative would be to try downloading ADRIFT (the links are in the readme) and using that to run the .blorb file version of the game. It's the same game, just a more widely compatible version. The only reason I don't use it as the default is that it's less convenient for players than just using the .exe.


@Larcx I have made an inquiry with the developer of the engine about that error, I'll get back to you if I hear anything helpful. In the meantime you might also try downloading ADRIFT and using the .blorb version.
