I thought it looked like a pipe. I can't make out the orientation of his hand.

Wonderful. But what's that thing arcing up from the gnome's left hand?

I'm not someone who minds long sections in CYOA books without choices, unless my character makes choices I strongly disagree with. Otherwise, those long sections let me just enjoy a good story. But ok, I guess you're asking whether I wanted more choices anywhere. Only a couple come to mind Such as t...

This is fantastic. I knew immediately that your writing would be great although I haven't sampled it in such long form before. I didn't have time to play this (is that the right word? "read"?) right when you posted it. My first ending: I went on a second date with Struthers after he awoke ...

So it's official, Giz is working on a Halloween game. Let's hope him and Fenrir aren't the only ones

I also feel bad for not having played and voted on the games. I've been really busy lately, but now I've gained a little more free time. If I come back later, maybe I will still be where I left off, or maybe my phone will have reset the game, freeing memory for some other app that I was using in the...

I spent an hour with a tracker once, but I don't think I'm cut out for it.

This page might be useful (or you can add to it!)

Caravans! But can you lead a caravan through a nether portal? Naw, I don't have any mods installed. But there's a console command that shows more details about your inventory, the most important bit being that it shows how much durability is left as a number rather than an easy to misjudge bar. I've...

Using timers is always more work than just using 'wait's, often far more. Note that you need to check the key state every tick during the second, you can't just set a timer for a second in the future (unless you want to allow tapping instead of holding the key). So I recommend only using timers if i...

Good question. I've edited the documentation for that command to specify:

If you pass too few arguments, the unspecified ones will have value zero instead of taking their default values from the script declaration.
If you pass too many (which does not cause an error), the extra ones are ignored.

We do have a source package download, just like everyone else. Compiling the OHRRPGCE yourself requires installing FreeBASIC, scons, and euphoria; see the wiki , it's detailed on that matter. Those are unusual requirements so most people won't want to go to the trouble of compiling. I'm not sure whe...

Hi, welcome. Sorry, we really should distribute 64 bit builds of the OHRRPGCE. Support was only added in the most recent version, so we haven't gotten around to it yet. It's not hard to set that up, but we also should add an the option in the 'Distribute Game' menu to package with 64 bit builds. Reg...

No problem. In your case it seems like you have a whole lot of if blocks, for each quest, containing something like: setmenuitemcaption(menu item, 50) #string 50 is set elsewhere, the name of quest 0 Why not just change it to $0 = "Quest 0: catch a butterfly" setmen...

I can't tell why you are using strings (or 'plotstrings' as I generally call them, to avoid ambiguity) at all. Is your menu displayed using "show string at", or are you using a normal menu? It sounds like the latter, and it's not just a menu with all the names of the quests (which could be...

Do you meant that Google Play rejects the .apks because there is something wrong with them? But doesn't tell you what the problem is? Can you explain what your "strange mixture" is? I don't think anybody aside from you has actually tried uploading an .apk to Google Play that they created w...
