Title: Femspray
Post by: JNGames on Mon 20/04/2009 00:13:16
Hi.

I've just completed my new game, Femspray.
Click on the link below to dowload it (3.5meg):

http://jngames.synthasite.com/resources/Femspray.zip (http://jngames.synthasite.com/resources/Femspray.zip)

You play Stephen Bishopson - a man who's almost (but not quite) finished his training as a secret agent - on a quest to thwart an evil doctor's plans to turn the entire male population of the world female.

With multiple endings, vibrant music and a host of quirky puzzles, I think this game's a lot of fun (although as it's maker I'm understandably slightly biased).

It's got lots of nudity, some sexual bits, loads of gender swapping and even some humour too; So if any of these things offend (especially the last one), or you're a little on the young side (under 18) then this probably isn't for you (but you can use your own discretion).

This was originally supposed to be a very short game taking no more than a week or two to create (hence the simple graphics). I got a bit carried away though, and four months later I'm finally ready to release it upon the world.
For more information please visit my website:

I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I've enjoyed making it.

Congratulations on finishing! I've *just* started so I will edit later with what I think... I have already laughed a couple of times (the long pause after Steven's attempted pickup line) so it is looking good so far! ;)

I don't care about nudity, sexual bits or gender swapping, but I can't stand humour!!!  >:(  ;D

I can stand sex and gender swapping, but I can *not* stand how those boots do *not* match that dress! *snip-snap!*

Downloading now. :)

Er why isn't this saving any save files when I saved about 4 different slots? I've got to start over now :(

I wouldn't put such a job into a man's hand. I mean... ask a man to stop someone to turn everyone on the planet into a lady? I'd merely shoot the bad guy and then EXECUTE his plan MYSELF!

D'loading now.

Just a question Ghost. Would it bother you if you partner used to be a man?

Sorry about that Indieboy, I accidently left a line of code in that deletes a saved slot number 1, each time you load the game.

I've taken the code out and re-uploaded it, so if you download it again it should work fine now.

Alright, I'm playing this game, so far I think it's pretty neat, but I am completely stumped.
Spoiler
So, I've turned the drunk into a woman, made him fall asleep, etc. What do I do now? I can't pick up the drunk, the woman in the shower room seems to offer no options either. Can anyone offer any hints?

Try to toy with your inventory items a bit. There's a 'use' option in the inventory window.

Heh, yeah sorry, figured this out not too long after I posted it... Only now...I can't figure out the computer's password. Or even if I'm supposed to be fiddling with it.
Spoiler
I've rescued troy and I've got the screw driver, the scissors, broken gun, detergent, (i know i need the detergent for what it has in it) Pills, and the beer can top.

Hint 1:
Spoiler
You need to figure it out. Think Leisure Suit Larry...
[close]
Hint 2 (in case it hint 1 doesn't help much):
Spoiler
The hint for the password is written somewhere. You need to do something to view it though.
[close]
Hint 3 (to make it obvious if needed):
Spoiler
Close the toilet door after you leave through it.
[close]

And by the way, I ran into a crash:
in "room29.asc", line 218
Error: MoveCharacter: character not in the current room
which occured while I was
Spoiler
dodging the doctor's pink spray for like 7th or 8th time.
Edit: I did it again, it always occurs when I try to leap from the location with the doctor's portrait. Any direction.
Edit2: I restarted the fight and this time it crashed while I was in room28. This time, the doctor has transformed Spencer already.

I'm a bit stuck, I've

discovered the computer password, and I have: broken gun, scissor, closed sign, sleeping pills, detergent, and the "tin" from the garbage room with detergent.

What am I missing?

Read the books in the show room. In the room with the junk, get a cup and use the detergent on it, then some of the liquid in the room where troy is. Heat it up.

This should go to the hints thread...

Alright so the game was great, except for the whole not saving bit and game-crashing bug.. Come on JM I must save the world from a grim future of bad driving and duvet covers!

I also have the same problem now, and it is stopping me from completing the game. I had almost finished it,

Spoiler

but then the femsprayed doctor was about to spray me, when again I got the character not in room error. And I keep getting it!

It is possible to finish the game despite the crash. Crash occurs in random rooms, but always when the characters tries to move from the crashing room to another. If you're really dying to finish the game before JNGames fixes the crash,
Spoiler
just keep saving your game before you decide which way to make a leap. There's always one of them that works, as far as I noticed. If you switch between two save game slots you can finish the game without much annoyance.
[close]
And fedx, how about you remove my quote from your post? We know which crash you're referring to since there was only one mentioned, and you did a minor plot-spoiling to the people who didn't get there yet.

And for the game itself, it gave me a really good laugh. And wow, what a dramatic atmosphere
Spoiler
during the fights
[close]
, what dynamism! Loved the endings too.
Spoiler
I knew all along that the main guy's hidden desire was to become a woman. He enjoyed his disguise so much that he didn't throw it away even after sneaking into the building! Mehehe.

Thanks, Kastchey! Worked, and completed it. Nice game, but you really should get rid of the bugs.

Out of curiosity...
Spoiler

I've gotten 2 endings, one "weird" and one "weird in a bad way" :D. I was wondering...there any others?

Title: Re: Femspray
Post by: JNGames on Tue 21/04/2009 10:49:41
Thanks for the feedback.
I've fixed the bug and uploaded the game again.

If you don't want to re-download it, the way to deal with it is:

Mouse over this text

I couldn't figure out that highlighting text spoiler thing you're all doing, but the acronym thing works anyway.

And no, those are the only endings.
Title: Re: Femspray
Post by: on Tue 21/04/2009 11:23:57
It's done by [ h i d e ] your text [ / h i d e ] (without the spaces)

Spoiler
Cool effect with the acronym, though

Acronym would be more effective for hiding spoilers, I think. I might use that, myself.

Finished it!

Are there only two endings or more?
[close]
Title: Re: Femspray
Post by: JNGames on Tue 21/04/2009 15:33:59
Thanks.
Spoiler
Only two endings indeed.  The original game plans had several depending on choices earlier in the game like in bladerunner, but I lost two much hair programming things and went instead for simplicity.
The trouble with the acronym thing is it fades after a few seconds, though maybe that's good for spoilers.

I wish you included the "good" ending where the doctor is defeated and a cure for Femspray is found.

Title: Re: Femspray
Post by: Kastchey on Tue 21/04/2009 17:32:32
Cyrus,
Spoiler
I wouldn't really call what you described a 'good' ending, I'd call it 'typical' at best. If not 'a bit boring'. Besides, the chaps were happy with the change after all, weren't they? Save the bus driver who we don't know about, and the assistant who dropped dead. So who would care for a cure anyway?

Grrrrr. That's odd. Well I had a look at it and fixed/tested it as best I could and re-uploaded it. It should be fine.

Looks like it could be a fun adventure, I'm gonna try it..

Please use versionnumbers (in the zip-filename and somewhere on the first menu screen) when you've fixed something and reupload it, so people know if they got the latest..

Post by: Play_Pretend on Mon 27/04/2009 02:21:53
I got the same error during the fight, for room28.asc, line 206.  And I can't figure out-

Spoiler
What am I supposed to do during the fight?  I've dodged all around, he's made his whole room girly, I've used every inventory item on him, Spencer has joined in and turned female, I've exhausted every dialogue option I can find...what am I missing?
[close]

EDIT:  Whoops, should say, I got the game version before you fixed the error, so I don't know if it's still there or not. :)

I tried to, and it kept seeming like he was getting close to turning himself into a woman, but then he'd always change his mind at the last second.  Which dialogue option is it supposed to be?

Title: Re: Femspray
Post by: Leon on Mon 27/04/2009 09:07:39
There's only a point in talking to him when...

Spoiler
...the technician and Melanie have joined him. So keep dodging until they are in the room. Then talk to the doctor and tell him again he’s better off spraying himself because the sex is better.

just put this before the move command:

if (Character.Room==player.Room) {
move character bla bla
}

EDIT: To avoid double post, this game's really funny..especially the lesbian comment, got me cracking.

I don't have that exact code, but have
if(character.room == 27){
}
for example, for that room. it's been baffling me, but I'll try that one too in a bit. thanks. haven't uploaded it yet, but when i do, i'll do that version number thing too.

I finally got around playing the game.. and I must say I really liked it.. it was fun, the puzzles where easy ;) and I even liked the graphix (even though at first I had my doubts, but simple graphix really work well for these kind of games)..
Thanx for creating such a fun adventure.. Really looking forward to see another game from you..
