My first public project: a kinetic style visual novel

Hi everybody-

I have a few things that I've made over the past year plus, but, I've been far too shy to share any of them with you all. Mostly because I started out being a fan of the 3d style games and then couldn't resist learning something myself.

So with that in mind, let me present:
Coffee Shop Encounter
http://104.131.156.199/coffeeshop/

I've tested it so far on a Mac Firefox but nothing else; if you could let me know what browser you used, if it worked, etc that would be wonderful. The files and options do take a bit to load in the browser, as in total content it's ~49 megabytes, I think. So please ensure you have a fast connection and be patient for 30 (ish) seconds a time or two while things load.

There are no choices or options in this, as it's a visual novel in the "kinetic," style, which basically means sit back relax and (I hope) enjoy.

Feedback appreciated.

I reached the site, was able to get the New Game / Load Game screen, when I pressed the New game button, the buttons disappeared, and a gear icon appeared in the lower right corner of the screen. Nothing happened for two minutes, so I closed the browser window. I'm using Google Chrome version 48.0.2564.97 m (64 bit).

There might not be anything wrong with what your kinetic novel, it could be that too many people are trying to view it on line at the same time. I've seen this fairly often with brand new on-line games.
You might want to consider making a downloadable version.

Very respectfully,
fleet

Hi Fleet, thanks for the fast reply!

I've uploaded a compressed (zip) file to my server on digitalocean, which on extraction, has an exe compiled via Tyrannobuilder (one of the many visual novel tools out there).

Can you let me know if you have windows & this works?

I use Windows 7, 64 bit. I successfully downloaded the zipped file, even though Chrome tried to block it. This seems to be a problem unique to Chrome. Other browsers should have no problem downloading it.
After unzipping the file, the kinetic novel opened successfully, and I started to play it. I did not hear any background music. Is this intentional?
I did not notice any glitches, other than the story seemed to end suddenly, when the girls
finished coming with the toy inside each other
.
I did notice that the file size was rather large considering the relatively short playing time. What file format did you use for the pictures?

While I'm not interested in girl on girl stories, I thought it was pretty good for a first effort. I would recommend adding background music.

Very respectfully,
fleet

Background music, no, there isn't any.

Regarding the sudden ending, yes, it's a very short work - it covers almost the same amount of 'action,' as a short story that I've yet to publish.

Now I need to look for music; appreciate the feedback!

Perhaps a loading bar or icon would be useful?

I too hit the new game button and not much happened. I came back here and saw the download was an exe, so I went back to the site and it had loaded. One more time in the novel, it seem to freeze and when I waited patiently, a new dialogue appeared. It froze again when the girls were using the toy in a scissor position. It has been at this location the entire time I have typed this and does not seem to be moving. The settings gear seems to function right now. Is that the end?

On a second go, it paused in the same location. When the girls stand in the bedroom and are kissing after the first orgasm. Right before the dialogue, "You taste like heaven." There's a delay of some kind.


Good work. I tested on a Mac and Firefox.
