Working Man v1.01 (August 8th 2015)

[Dolphin-BR]

Thanks Ice for an incredibly good first game! The only other first game as good as 'Working Man' I can remember is Palmer's 'Emily, Sister Attraction', and both are among the best AIF games ever made! (In my opinion at least...)

I still have to find out about Laura's secret, and the second part of the sisters pact. And I'm sure there is still a lot to be found, since I haven't find the policewoman, neither a use for the park.

I found a small bug:

Monday, when you are having sex with Stephanie in the spare bedroom, if you type "ask Stephanie about practice", it triggers the event again inside the living room.

One question: Where and with who are we supposed to see the 'secret scene'?

[Shepard]

I gotta say.... That's a monstruous attempt for a first game, and I think that it turned out VERY well. Congratulations are in order.


With that said, I do have a question.... how does one finds out about this "pact" thing? Also, are there any interactive scenes with the co-workers?

i know this has been asked in the early pages, but i can't for the life of me figure out how to bring stephanie upstairs or past when the player says "ill show you how to rub my cock". i'm sure i'm missing something simple,

How you use the complete code ?



once you see all 5 parts, it'll tell you how to use it in the verbose score.

I asked because I have already the five codes, I have tried in the game and before the start writing in order, with the verbose score you means "help" (a thing that I have found only now so I have played the game without for now).

WARNING: If you use inline graphics (i.e. you don't have them display seperately in a sidebar or window) the secret code will cause ADRIFT to error. It will be fine at first but the first image it tries to load will cause ADRIFT to hang for several seconds before displaying and no more images will display after that one. Once in this state random message box windows begin flashing on screen for a single frame every time your mouse moves into or out of the window and opening the options causes a fatal error.

There are two ways to avoid this. First, you can stop using inline graphics by opening up the graphics window. Alternatively you can enter the code, save, close ADRIFT, reopen the game, and then restore.

My guess is that the first character of the code causes problems with ADRIFT's text system and it's method of inserting images.

(I found this on Win7 so I don't know if the problem exists on Mac.)

Hi

Is there any possibility to release the game in a Mac OS-friendly format?

Didn't have any issue like that on my Win7. I think it's on your end.

OK, that's not that bad then. I don't know what could be causing it for me though.

Edit: Also, now that I have the code working, does anyone know what you can do in the bonus scene? I was able to make them lift parts of their clothing and kiss but nothing else I tried worked.

Can someone help me get 70 points with Laura? Not sure where the rest of the points come from. I kiss her and claire everyday and check the dishwasher but that's not enough

ran into a problem at sharon's house, any ideas?

Thank you Ice for this great game. It's easily one of my favorite adult games, AIF or otherwise. Your writing and rendering skills are exceptional. As others have stated, the fact that this is your first release is made more impressive by how polished the game feels. Either you are a natural game designer or you had great beta testers (or maybe both).

That said, I found two very minor bugs:

1. During the first sexual encounter with Stephanie, it's possible to command her to remove her top. The game text reflects this and her top can be examined on the floor, but it isn't graphically represented and the characters (notably Laura) don't react to her walking around topless. Commanding her to put it back on results in an error. Guessing it was once a feature that got removed, but the command wasn't invalidated.

2. During the bonus scene with the MC's co-workers, the command "remove tie" is recognized and accepted, but the tie remains worn by the MC. Only the "strip" command works on the tie.

Edit: Also, now that I have the code working, does anyone know what you can do in the bonus scene? I was able to make them lift parts of their clothing and kiss but nothing else I tried worked.

Command one of the women to "rub cock"

You need to insert the vibrator in her ass to stretch it out

Great game, Ice.

I usually have issues with games made with Adrift and similar programs. There are always points where it is difficult to figure out the exact phrasing the writer wants you to enter and the game comes to a frustrating halt.

However, you figured out a way to allow the game to progress, even when the player has no idea, and allow them to improve on their efforts on their next play-through.

With all the secrets hidden in the game, it also has great re-play value.

Good work.

Where did you found the gel? I looked around everywhere but I cannot find it.
