*I'm not sure whether "metagaming" is a word are you talking about the endless loop? , the author says it is not a mistake it is supposed to be that way

By now , if you played the simple engine you should notice the add sound button on the bottom of the page , my question is , is this music suitable to play , when reading the gamebooks? In case you wont like it you could suggest your own video/music on youtube that bests suits there, Thanks

Glad you make it Pete, did you find other bugs that should be corrected? As for the cheating part, this engine does in fact let you cheat because the options are linked by hiperlinks , but that is not what i meant, and i think that kind of cheating steals the fun of playing the story(this subject could give in fact an all new thread), what i gave you was kind of lets call it an helping tip ratter than cheating!

I'll keep hold of my map and play again when I get the chance, although I can only think of a couple more things to try to complete The adventure. Neither of which I'll be able to try with mediocre stats. Just a tip press f5 or refresh the browser when starting the adventure, it will give you new stats Note : It´s called cheating but we can´t always play it by the book can we?

You are right about the provisions issue, it should now be fine to play.(It´s indeed a major issue not sure how i missed that) as for the genie and bottle at a first view it seems that it is indeed not added to the inventory, i will review it shortly

First of all thank you for trying the adventure Pete ,not finishing the adventure was one of the reasons i purpose a tryout here,but i have been in contact with the author and he told me that it is very difficult to get the last gold scale, hopefully he will shed some light about this matter soon, the other reason it´s the peculiar rules it has when using the gennie, i will review the option you mention about adding the genie bottle to the inventory, as for the adventure did you find it enjoable to play?and did you like the new feature of drinking potions and provisions at user's request?

Post by offm on Jan 18, 2016 5:23:14 GMT
The adventure is now fully coded , i made a tryout page for people to try the adventure at this forum : , if you find any bugs please mention in this page post, Thank You!

i agree with Pete there are fan gamebooks made with 400 sections and more (assuming you want longer gamebooks) and do have quality , you just have to ask the authors for permission here are 2 examples: house of pain by Phil Sadler fightingfantazine.proboards.com/thread/444/house-pain-sequel and From the Shadows from various artists(I assume you find some here at the forum) fightingfantasy.com/images/stories/amatadvent/fromtheshadowsv3.pdfBy the Way i do like the audiosbooks project idea very much, and the voice from the audio is very audible and we do have a correct undertanding of the words ( a big plus on audiobooks) Edit: i am just curious how will you do with battles - combats will you narrate them aswell?

Thank you thealmightymudworm , your support means much to me , as for the adventure it is almost fully done , i would say 95%, meanwhile my aim is also to re-enable the text to speech in all the adventures (currently available on feathers of the phoenix)

Thank you for your support hynreck, this new adventure should be the best adventure so far with the possiblity to choose a potion from start and eat provisions at users request (instead of automatically as it was in other adventures) you just have to wait a few more days

been following right from the start , and i can only bravo, winning some of the battles was epic, specially the later ones, i can say the giant must be unwinnable with that endurace!

Had to back this, 1 or two considerations about this, the new stretch goals are quite good ,the couloured images the sound effects for the game , 1 thing i didn´t understand is the english voiceover, is it kind of text to speech for the classic gamebook? or is it for the game?

For me it had to be warlock of firetop mountain , because it is the book that brings me the feeling of nostalgia the most.

Pretty impressive, but the project seems huge no wonder it's taking some time

to be really honest with you, the project should be 100% faithful to the owner´s view of the adventure, if it is not i think it shouldn´t be online.

from what i saw of the adventure the rules from special items and the fight with the demonspawn may be a little hard to implement to play online , a big challenge indeed, never converted an adventure this big (tryed with from the shadows without much success, and is being kind of difficult to regain motivation to do pick up where i left it)

I found this great free app on google play to help playing the fighting fantasy books, played Talisman of Death and howl of the werewolf i think is a perfect susbstitution of the traditional pencil dice and paper! the link follows: linkIf you are still reading this and are not fully convinced, think green , less paper use leads to a better planet!

Vagsancho Fighting Fantasy does continue to have many fans, i speak from my homeland(Portugal) for instance that is now getting the books republished after a 10 years hiatus , but i think is also well known in worldwide (defeninetely more than 10 people )

I'd put Ian and Jackson on my list, they're a good story tellers with House of Hell, Sorcery and many others. Jon Green won't make the list however. His books are too hard and I find them slightly boring. Sorry Jon, but that's my fan-based opinion. I am now reading howl of the werewolf for the second time, i made the same decisions i did the 1st time and never reached the 2nd part of the book without a little cheating in fights (and had the luck to create a skill 12 stamina 15 character) still i like the storytelling and find fights with multi characters innovative and good .
