Study Date v1.1.2

So I've just completed my first AIF game: Study Date.

You play as a teenager whose parents have gone out of town, and you've managed to convince the girl you've had a crush on for forever to come over to study.

*Edited* - New version 1.1.2 is up. Here's the new link:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/6ekn9u89q6gdc3m/Study_Date_v1.1.2.zip

Version 1.1 is the final version I foresee myself making. I've added a short scene inspired by what a lot of people saw (to my surprise) as a red herring. It's now necessary to complete the additional scene to get the "perfect" ending.

Changes made in v0.9.1:
-Added option to adjust the characters' ages
-Added "mix" verb for drinks. Due to an Inform limitation, the game won't accept "mix blank and blank", but will take mix with, mix into, and mix in
-Fixed problem with Jenny's comments about the living room when she first arrives
-Added "study" verb
-Added exits to various room descriptions
-Added bathroom description
-Added description for licking Jenny's feet
-Added various synonyms
-Ran spellcheck!

Changes made in v1.0:
-Added thermostat to living room description
-Corrected various typos

Changes made in v1.0.1:
-Fixed problem with searching certain containers
-Added various synonyms
-Added various descriptions
-Added more conversation topics

Changes made in v1.1:
-added a new scene - dryer is no longer a red herring

Changes made in v1.1.1:
-removed placeholder/troubleshooting text
-various minor fixes

Changes made in v1.1.2:
-various minor fixes

1.1.2 will likely be the last version. Simple AIF has been updated, and I anticipate the changes breaking compatibility with the version I used to write Study Date, so I've fixed the last few bugs people have reported before I update the plugin. I'll still have the old version of Simple AIF in case I decide to go back to it, but it will be a big enough hassle that I doubt I will. Thanks to everyone who played, and especially those who reported bugs.

Enjoy, everyone!

Going by the description, seems sort of sweet and a lot like my current project. Imma download it and take a look :p

Edit: Well, dunno how people here will take the fact they're 15.

Anyway, I got Jenny (name of my ex, fun) to sit down on the floor and she tells me to "Study" with study bolded, hinting it's what I'm supposed to do. but it says it doesn't recognize that verb. then when I say "Sit on floor", it says I can't do that despite it saying in the previous sentence "Jenny sat on floor" and me being able to sit on couch. So yeah, I can't sit sit down on the floor and study. Ain't that swell.

Edit again: Wait, I need to say say study instead of just saying Study? That's weird.

Try using "ask jenny about study" that did the trick for me .
How do you mix the drinks ? I have the soda and the vodka but can't get to make a mix of them

Try using "Pour"

Ah damn,
"mix", I should have thought of that one. I got "pour" and "add". I'll add mix in the next revision.

Well, just finished and got a 10/17

Pretty good I'd say, though I don't really like the guessing game personally. And, of course, I don't know about them being 15 but yeah.

Also, I wanted to take her into the shower but I couldn't. Oh well.

Yeah, I had big (but vague) plans for the bathroom, which is why there's as much there as there is, but they kind of got pushed aside once I was actually writing the game.

I know how annoying guessing games can be, and I'm going to try to keep an eye on this thread to see if there's any particular problem areas so I can fix them, but please PM me if there's any especially bad guess-the-verb places anyone runs into. I obviously know what I intended the player to do, so it's harder to see it the way someone else will and realize that it's not signposted as well as I wanted.

If enough people are bothered by the ages I'm considering in v1.0 putting in a limits option at the beginning like some of Goblinboy's games, so the player can set how young they're willing for them to be.

So is there anything else beyond regular sex and oral or did I mostly find everything?

There's anal, but it's fairly hard to unlock. You have to do everything right up to that point for her to offer it. It's more of a bonus than really a proper part of the game.

Bugs

When you look in the living room,kitchen,study room you get no infos where you can go.

So I searched first after I get the information Jenny needs a drink.


I got 12 points I don“t know to get the other points.

Try looking at the desk in the study.

Speaking of that, may want to add directions to the study because I didn't know there was a study.

Also, don't suppose there's any way to check your current score or total score possible at that point?
