itch.io

Have you considered LibGDX? It's a Java framework that supports HTML5, Java for desktop (Windows/OS X/Linux), Android, iOS, and even Blackberry. It's also really easy to learn, and comes with a built-in scene graph package (which is very very handy for UI). If you want, I even have a class that can load in an XML format similar to HTML that's extremely nice for UI along with several example XML files, and I'd be perfectly happy to give you a copy (I've already given out a few copies to friends, and I've placed it in the public domain even if I technically haven't released the source yet).

If that's not up your alley, Cocos2d is a decent C++/HTML5 game engine.

You might be able to do it in RenPy also based on some other things I've seen it used for, though I'm not sure I'd recommend it for this (and I'd actually recommend not doing so as save games will become a pain once the game is bigger if I understand RenPy's save format correctly).

Obviously the final decision is up to you, just thought I'd give some suggestions, feel free to ignore me.

Also, and this is a bit of a stretch, if you need someone willing to help out on the project for free I'm always willing to do so. I have quite a bit of programming experience, and a decent albeit somewhat smaller level of experience with game development. I'm well aware this is likely to be a no, and that's fine, just thought I'd make the offer. I really enjoy this game and would love to be able to help out.

Not a valid answer.

Sighs. Fair point.

Why the hell does the Linux build require libsystemd0?

You can change the ratio in the game's settings. It defaults to 10% male but it's adjustable.

No idea who that is, but I suspect as long as you give credit it's fine.

I saw this a while back and was disappointed it wasn't public. Thanks for changing that!

The linked portrait pack appears to have been taken down (HTTP error 404).

That shows up if you click "sleep alone."

That was fast - thanks! 

I mentioned about a month ago that loading a save file that was in Larklast wouldn't work.

I created a new save and played up to Larklast. It's not an incompatible save; Larklast is broken.

That's what showed up.

I really enjoy this game, and hope you fix it soon!

Additionally, when clicking sleep alone in the inner chambers, this shows up:

Error: <<if>>: assignment operator found within <<elseif>> clause (#3) (perhaps you meant to use an equality operator: ==, ===, eq, is), invalid: $Madranapalace eq "yes" and $silverpalacequeen to "betrayal" and $quest_xelastra01 eq "no"

I found a major problem.

Right now, on philome (and probably itch as well), when I loaded my save, all data appeared to be correct, but both the event log and the current text is not showing up right.

(That's a screenshot I took of the problem). I didn't check if it showed up if I switched to a different town, though I can if you want me to.

Yep, enabling third-party cookies causes it to work. Still going to stick with philome.la though, but only because I can full-screen that.

EDIT: I realized immediately after posting this that I forgot to mention that I prefer third-party cookies to stay disabled as well.

I like how you made Mayor Gram seem like a nice guy. One of the things I like about your work is that you focus on the plot, not just the NSFW aspects.

The one it works on is philome.la

When I first open the page, an error alert pops up. I can't copy it, so here's my best transcription:

Apologies! A fatal error has occurred. Aborting.

Error: Uncaught SecurityError: Failed to read the 'localStorage' property from 'Window': Access is denied for this document.

It shows a stack trace which mentions a "talk.itch.zone" URL. Based on a quick look at the source, the error is caused by an iframe attempting to access localStorage.

This wouldn't be a problem if the game worked. It definitely works on one of the other online links.
