Re: The Howling (Twine) V00004
There's a ton of potential here. If the descriptions were more verbose it would be perfect, but even without that (and I'm sure they will be over time since you're just testing stuff) what you have now is a collection of super cool ideas.
I look forward to updates.

Re: The Howling (Twine) V00004
Thank you!
And you're spot on, right now is still doing just a few quick lines while I'm getting things figured out. There's more detail and descriptions that I'll be adding as I start to flesh out NPCs and plots and whatnot.

Re: The Howling (Twine) V00004
V00005 is up
A bunch more content with the Tavern + Tavern Girl
Combat Rape is now M/M as well as M/F.
If you have brought either the tavern girl or the farmer's daughter back to the lair, you can play with them. Tavern girl is nonconsensual sex, farmer's daughter is willing sex.
bug fixes (and bug creation) as always.

Re: The Howling (Twine) V00005
Version 05 still displays as 04 ingame.
Saving doesn't seem to work in Brave either.
This is going out at an awesome speed!

Re: The Howling (Twine) V00005
The save seems to be working fine when I'm testing it in Chrome.
Might be an issue with your cookies settings, since that's how it saves.
Also, saves will not work very well between versions, so I'll be adding a quick cheat option so people can play with more things in between builds.

Re: The Howling (Twine) V00005
In both the previous version and this one, the moment I hit 140+ health in any way, I can no longer save. What's up with that?

Version 00006!
https://www.mediafire.com/file/q8yo5sqk ... .html/file
Fuckton of updates, and now there's actual plot! Like... wow.
Also, locations are going to be somewhat more gated in future builds so I can set up more regarding quests and plot and all that fun stuff, so for now I've added the "Unlock Locations" button in the lair to have them all still show up.
I'll put the opening walkthrough concept on the front page as well as more details.

Re: The Howling (Twine) V00005
I have literally no idea about the 140 health thing. I can't find anything that should stop saves from working, especially not based off your health... Can you figure out anything else that might be causing the problem? I've been adjusting health levels and it still lets me save.

Re: The Howling (Twine) V00006
I've found a bug with the bandits. When fighting the giggling girl, upon winning the battle (either eating or not), I get the attached error when I click the 'continue' link.
I've really been enjoying this game, and it's great to see so much being added to it over the past few days!

Re: The Howling (Twine) V00006
Is there a chance you will be adding the option of playing as female or herm or will this be exclusively male Player charecter?

Re: The Howling (Twine) V00006
Gender options is a possibility in the future, but it won't be something I work on until I've got a lot more of the game already set up.
I apologize for that goto: error, that was literally a missed capital letter >< fixed it for V00006A, cause I feel bad.
Here you go, quick fix on the bandit stuff so that way you can see the giggling girl's vore scene.

Re: The Howling (Twine) V00006
Loss screen doesn't seem to have any way out of it, I had to close and reopen page.
Status screen has a funny thing.
VGame is fine as F/F and Vrogue is fine as M/M, so don't stress on adding PC sex options.
Resting does not always heal properly.

Re: The Howling (Twine) V00006A
Can you detail what the issue is with resting?
Is it the lair resting that's having issues, or some of the random "take a nap" things that show up elsewhere like the cabin or tavern?

Re: The Howling (Twine) V00006A
I started a new file in V6, and couldn't save at level 2 with 136 HP.
Started another new file, ground my way up to level 2 while only saving once at the very start. Broke 140HP and could still save, so I carried on 'til I couldn't. Meal count 10.
New file, played as normal, hit 10 meals at level 1 and 137HP, could still save. Grabbed one more meal, went over both 10 meals and 140HP... could still save. Figured "Hell, I guess it fixed itself. Let's keep going." Played as normal for a bit... and the save broke.
I have no idea what the fuck, man.

Re: The Howling (Twine) V00006A
That is mind-boggling.
The save system is the default twine form, which uses your browser cookies to log the information.
The best I can find is something regarding the localstorage limits of the browser throwing a fit because there's not enough space?

~~~V 00007
Chapter 1 is complete. Yes, it is. Get 5 quest completion credits and see what crops up...
*Added lots of content!
*Places are now branched out in a more rational manner. Please note that not all of the below-mentioned content actually exists yet, and is liable to change, be removed, or have more added to it.
-Lair connects to Woods and Road
-Woods connects to Cabin, Encampment, Elf Village, Cave, Ruins
--Woods lets you discover Road
-Road connects to Farm, Water Tower, Temple, Cemetary, Hills, and sometimes Astrid's Potion Shop
--Road leads to Village
-Village connects to Tavern, Carpenter
--Village leads to King's Highway
-King's Highway connects to TO BE DETERMINED
--King's Highway leads to Castle
-Castle connects to Alchemist, Arena, Blacksmith, Throne Room
As such, you can explore lots of places with ease, but will have to travel a bit to get to the farther locations, since your Lair is not directly next to the Castle. I'll see about getting an actual map image in the future.
Finished up the elf content which means not just the diplomacy quest with Reethin, but lots of other stuff too.
New rape scenes with the elf princess (M/F and/or MMMMMM/F)
New vore scene with the elf princess (M/F)
The first encounter with the Big Bad is in the game now.
Quests. There's a bunch of them now, and some of them will lock the ability to finish others based on your actions.
I've tried to make sure that it's styled so there is solid plot but is also quite sandbox, with plenty of delight and repercussions depending on how things go.
In the event you have some MASSIVE amount of notoriety, be wary of Bounty Hunters. These rarely encountered foes are quite powerful... and scale with the bounty on your head. Yes, the more you're worth, they more powerful they are. Good luck with them.

Re: The Howling (Twine) V00006A
This update is pretty great, I like the expanded content that's been added. I also come bearing gifts, in the form of bugs!
The farmer diplomacy quest can't be resolved peacefully, since the variable being checked at the elven court is misspelled as "farmerdiplomacy" when it should be "farmerdiplomacyquest".
Also, about the farmer sheep quest, is the only resolution for that to eat one of his sheep and tell him it was you? It seems like there was another option intended, but I can't find it.
Anyway, like I said before, I do enjoy this game, and it's great to see the product of the work you've put in!

Right now the only answer to the sheep quest is to be the one who ate the sheep
