Where is the 5th one, Wmabie?

By the way I liked the review from Exlibris in the Yahoo aifgroup about one of the games. I subscribe it completely!

There are only four entries this year, but two or three of them are from new authors which is promising:
Entrancing Sin by Anonymous
Once Upon a Dream by Purple Dragon
Redskirt by Begferdeth
Sibling Seduction by LordYoni

Sorry about 5 it is four, I was counting the vote file.

the "Redshirt" one is killing me. Have fun

I found Redskirt to be pretty straight-forward. Where are you stuck?

I seem to be particularly thick here. I can't get the games to play. I've downloaded the software (Inform, Adrift etc) but ...

Hi!

For the Adrift game you must download the version 3.9 which is here:

Code: Select all

http://www.adrift.org.uk/ftp/adrift39r.zip

If you have already installed the version 4, just install the version 3.9 in a different folder.
.....

For the Tads game (.t3) go to

Code: Select all

http://www.tads.org/t3dl/pksetup.exe

where you find the most recent player.
.....

As the two Inform games are concerned you need Glulx installed. Get the last version here:

Code: Select all

Good gaming!

@Exlibris

I finished :
Once Upon a Dream and Sibling Seduction (but in this case I have marked 120 not 130)
I'm stuck for redskirt, I have marked 27 points, I spent a lot of time with Darvon , then I go back to the room with the Glass Balls, I hear some noise, but I can't find what I need to do.
For the last one, Entrancing Sin, I finished it too, but I'm not sure that I have done everything right (I've never been able to drink something)

So if you have an hint for redskirt, I'll be glad to read it.

Some general hints for Redskirt would be to ask Darvon about the games he's interested in, and then suggest one of your own (do what Kirk would do!).

Redskirt doesn't have an automatic end, if you've freed the other three crew members you still have to ask Darvon to send you back to the ship.

Entrancing Sin has a lot of endings, and a lot of little things to discover (flashing Brayden, the modelling shoots, etc.). I don't know if any of them could be considered the 'right' ending (but you can drink something, try asking Brayden about it in the morning).

I can't open Redskirt.zblorb with the installed engine suggested by Trucla WinGlulxeInstaller.exe, as any other *.zblorb
In fact I never played Inform games...
Is there any option to add, or suggestion?
Thanks

I used WinGluxe for Once Upon A Dream. For Redskirt I used Frotz (http://frotz.sourceforge.net/) or Gargoyle (http://ccxvii.net/gargoyle/)

Thanks Exlibris, Gargoyle is fine!

Do these games have graphics?

Cheers

The rules of the minicomp set a maximum file size, so graphics aren't usual. However, Once Upon A Dream has four small pictures plus some sounds.

I have completed Entrancing Sin.

Most of Sibling Seduction is done. I am stuck on the sibling were I know there can be some ass play, but cannot get there. I have done everything else I can think of. I wonder if there is a special object needed for the last part?

Any Hints out there?
