Twine Beta Release!
Added 2021-03-08 23:47:40 +0000 UTC
well, I think I've done as much testing as I can on my own, so the Twine version of Speaker is officially here!
A little information before you head over there: this is not a content update. This version ends at the same place that the current dashingdon demo does. This is just the beta version of the Twine port, to make sure it works before it goes live ๐
A few changes between the current dashingdon version and the new twine version:
- currently, there is no option for the Speaker to have dyed hair. I haven't figured out how I want to implement that yet, so at the moment it's unavailable. It's something I plan to add in a future update.
- Previously, if the Speaker or Seer (or both) had the initials RK, there used to be a small scene that acknowledged that, but I was struggling to get that coded properly so I decided to ultimately skip it. It was only two lines of different dialogue, and it's not something that will effect the game after Chapter 2 anyway.
- There is no longer an option to choose your sexuality. Instead, there will be options to choose Li and Rory's genders within the story:
What I need from you:
- Please report any bugs you find. Any code errors, typos, missing or incorrect names or pronouns. I'm especially sure there's some code I missed in translation. For example, in the old choicescript version, the Seer's name was "${sis_name}" and in twinescript it's "$sis"; any remaining curly brackets need to be destroyed with extreme prejudice ๐
- Your opinion! Is there a different color scheme you'd still like to see? Anything that needs some prettying up (especially on the profile or relationships screens)? There are also a couple places that I used cycle-style choices that I'm unsure about: the height choice in Chapter 1 and the martial skill choice in Chapter 2. I'm considering changing them to a more standard selection instead, and I'd like to know what you think about it!
Okay, that's a long enough wall of text for now ๐ without further ado:

2021-03-19 05:35:40 +0000 UTCthe playlist option is cut off before the title "to stop threats of fratricide" making the option broken
2021-03-19 04:28:47 +0000 UTCthat one hadn't been reported yet, thank you! funny how a single bullet-point can break the code entirely lol ๐ it should be fixed now!

2021-03-09 21:18:34 +0000 UTCGreat update! love this game in Twine, and the ability to go back and forth between pages โฅ. With that said, I don't know if this has been reported yet but I ran into the following wall... When reaching the below part, I am left without any option to move forward, but I do have the text that shows below. "I don't know what you're talking about," she says imperiously, but she won't meet your eyes anymore. "And anyway, it was your idea." [โข[You don't have anything else to ask.->leftcontinue]]

2021-03-09 02:23:09 +0000 UTCI think that's It!๐ I may have missed something, but these were all I found :)

2021-03-09 02:21:41 +0000 UTC"A playlist labeled "to stop threats of fratricide" - a mix of random things from multiple genres, so you and $sis don't fight over It."
Clark
2021-03-09 02:02:34 +0000 UTCthat should be fixed now! you may need to go back a few pages to before you made that choice, save, and then refresh the game in order for the changes to show up

2021-03-09 01:54:40 +0000 UTC(i tried to explain this as best as I could heheh) Seb's route: When we're supposed to choose between going with Az or Sebastian to the office/create a distraction, even If I choose Sebastian It goes to Azalea and Nellie instead.

2021-03-09 01:39:47 +0000 UTCOkay! Found another one! "While Azalea carefully collects the papers and photos that are already on the board, ${sis_name}..."
