UPDATE: I have already quite enough testers. Thank you all for your offer regardless and I hope you look forward to the complete game.
After an altogether shameful string of delays and procrastination, I’m confident enough to consider The Lost Hound for TADS3 tentatively done and ready to begin beta testing. Only problem being I have no beta testers lined up.
In hindsight, I probably should have asked for volunteers a while back before that, but never mind that. Should you wish to sign up, simply send me an e-mail to [email protected]
As a small warning, the game can described as “wordy” to the same extent as the surface of Venus can be said to be “a bit warm”. Regardless of my initial plans, the thing ended up be something of a “fantasy story of subjective merit with sex scenes instead” of purely a “sex game”, so players eager for a quick romp might be disappointed. That’s not to say there’s not quite a bit of sexual scenes in it, but you should expect to encounter quite a bit of non-sexual content and writing in between those sections.
I am looking for help hunting bugs (of which theoretically there shouldn’t be any anymore, but you never know), help picking out grammatical mistakes I might have overlooked and constructive criticism of all kinds. Within the latter, I am particularly interested in things such as continuity details, dialogue options that you think should be available given certain circumstances, mechanics or information that you might consider are not as evident to a player as they should be and any sort of “I think you should be able to do this thing here” related stuff.
Well, that’s about it. If you’re interested, please toss me a message.
