Re: [Challenge] Make a short h-game in 72 hours!
Finished my game just about on time, but I'm having difficulties uploading it. Bear with me!
Okay, my game is done!
Now, I must admit, I cheated somewhat. I'm no good at art, so rather than commission it (expensive!) or draw it myself (awful MS Paint stick figures!) I've, um, stolen it. All the coding and writing was done from scratch, of course.
The game is basically this one:
http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/showthread.php?t=368 but from the antagonist's point of view. Plus I wrote all the scenes and whatnot myself, so I guess really it's quite different...
How to play:
First, general Ren'Py commands - there's a help button on the main menu to explain all of them. Right click takes you to the in game menu, holding Control puts the game into Skip mode, clicking on the screen advances text boxes, etc. It's all fairly self explanatory. I have disabled rollback, though, as it would probably mess with the coding.
For the game itself - you play Drillman, a monster guarding a haunted mansion. Your goal is to track down and capture three girls who've wandered inside. Inside rooms, you can click on some objects to search for the girls. (Only places they might conceivably fit, of course - under beds, in wardrobes, etc). You can also click the Move button in the top left to go to the map screen. To move around the map screen, just click where you want to go - but you can only move to an adjacent room or section of corridor, of course. The front door is locked, and cannot be moved out of, though the back door can be moved through. To move upstairs, you first have to move to the Hall, then click the Move button, then click on the staircase.
The girls have different responses to you tracking them. They might hurl a weapon at you to escape (each weapon is single use, so you can make them use them all up), and they can also hide. Their clothes represent their health. If you catch them, you'll tear the clothes up a bit - once they are fully naked, you'll be able to capture them properly and remove them from the mansion. There are extra sets of clothes hidden around the mansion, though - if their clothes are getting too torn, they'll seek out a fresh set! Of course, the number of other sets of clothes is limited.
The girls are aiming to break the curse on the mansion by finding four talismans. Each girl has her own set of four to find, and once any girl has a complete set you'll have failed your mission. So be quick! The girls won't enter a room you're in, so you could in theory try to camp out somewhere and stop them getting to a talisman - but you don't know where they're hidden either.
To help you, you have access to magic spells. You can scry the girls, letting you see their location on the map for a certain number of turns (usually, you can only see them if they're in an adjacent room and not hiding), You can call up a status screen to find how many talismans they have left to get. Or you can spend all your magic to send a girl through a portal for a certain one hit capture - but only whilst in combat with a girl.
Completing the game (to either ending) once will unlock the gallery from the main page; you can then zoom in on the pictures, but only after seeing them at least once in the game.
I haven't rigorously bug tested it, so there could well be a few bugs left. Let me know! (The gallery in particular hasn't been fully tested!) Also point out any typos; there's probably a few lurking away...
