Long expected Friday.

passer-by · Sun 12/06/2005 20:27:09

Hello all!

This game is ready. It's about a woman who gets trapped in an imaginary world.
It is my first game, I hope you like it. I promise next time I won't fill the beginners' thread with sooo many questions ...Link is at this site. Like I said, it is my first game, so I could do with some feedback...
For even more details, check here.

edit
In the readme it says it's a demo but it's a full game. I changed the content in the webpage but I forgot the document's one.

edit

Some minor updates are made and a new .zip file is uploaded, so it is likely that you have a "bug" version if you downloaded it before I fixed the link. I'm going to upload the final update soon.
Sorry
CP.

Warning: Spoiler ahead

I made the coffee, and Jess (or jane) says they will take the bookcase, and now Jane has to make coffee again. Nothing newly interactable lights up.

Sorry, I don't know how to post an invisible hint.

Did you search -interact with the bookcase?? A hotspot should be active by now.

Sometimes things get active if you do other things or just walk around sometimes.... even if it is in another room(but that's for later...). They usually don't appear , they just become active...

<someone managed to bypass the geocities barrier! Yay!!>

Sorry for that, it hadn't occur before with my normal traffic...

Thanks, I hope you'll remember that when I dive in again...

Thank you cp, got it now....

lakerz · Mon 13/06/2005 08:06:07

Hi cp, can you give me a hint on my thread at the hints forum?

Interesting game by the way. I like the graphics, especially the first room where you have a view of the whole house. I'm noticing a number of bugs like I've already made coffee yet every time after that the game keeps telling me to make coffee.

Also, it would be good to have dialogue be above the person's head who's talking. At least you color coded it which helps.

Rui 'Trovatore' Pires · Mon 13/06/2005 08:50:55

Could you please host it somewhere else? I've finally managed to access the page, but AS SOON AS it started downloading it went to the "bandwidth exceeded" page.

Here's a suggestion: http://12.22.230.41/MicroTech/Hosting/FileHostingHome.html

EDIT - Ok, I got it. And I saw this in the readme:

QuoteThis is a tester demo for my Long Expected Friday (LEF) game.

What gives? Is it a full game or a demo? Does it have the whole story? Does it just need testing? Are you releasing to the general public or just asking for beta-/playtesters? Sorry but I have to ask this, if I want to download a demo - even if the game just needs testing - I go to Games in Production, in here I'd rather see completed games - or at least as completed as the author thinks they are. I'm only asking because apparently you yourself, judging from that line in the readme, don't think it's ready yet.

It seems I didn't make clear that the "second" coffee is just chatting with her friend...Things should work after you give her the first cup...

Queen Kara · Tue 14/06/2005 14:13:19

I can't even figure out how to make a cup of coffee , nothing "lights up" when I move my mouse over something when it comes to the kitchen so how can I interact with the kitchen / make coffee without the ability to use the sink , a cup , ect?

Check the thread in hints or I risk to make this one off topic...I think.

edit
I tried to add this in the AGS games page but it won't let me...What is the process?

jane · Fri 29/07/2005 14:39:28

Queen Kara.....I'm finding the same things as well, have checked the walkthrough. First part says to take coat - where is coat? Then it says to make coffee but can't interract with anything? Any hints please

Spoiler

When you talk to the woman, you ask for her coat, so it is in your inventory. You have to hang it at the coat hanger next to the kitchen door. No hotspots in the kitchen should interact before you do that. Then look at the mugs to enable the rest of the kitchen stuff.
