"The Missing Tickets" DEMO testers needed

[Recca Phoenix]

OK, so this is the game. The main game is 100% done and de-bugged (to my knowledge).
As for the side stories:
Irys's is done.
Midnight's is done but I have to draw all the graphics and add some music here and there. Also, it refuses to function for some reason. coding difficulties, most likely.
Blooper's is done but I will probably write more for it because it is incredibly short.
Lei's is done.
Feather's and Turtledove's were cut from the game due to time and lack of interest. So there are 4 side stories now instead of 6.
Please let me know what you think.
I am going to try to finish this ASAP so I can put more work into HARTBREAKER.
If you want other platforms just say so and I'll post 'em.

That was a short fun game. Kept me amused for a while. The mini-games were fun at times too. Anyway, straight to the technical issues.

Jasper says you need both motive and evidence to accuse someone, but the game doesn't prohibit (or penalize) you from accusing anyone if you don't have both. This doesn't mean much if you point the finger at the innocent, but I still managed to recover the tickets from the culprit with no motive and the smallest bit of evidence. It'd be nice if the game made you explain your reasoning or somehow couldn't snatch the bad guy with insufficient evidence, otherwise you can just stumble onto the answer by guessing at random instead of actually investigating...

Another thing is that the side stories don't stay unlocked. I had opened three on my first play through, so I went back to get the one I missed, and found the other three locked again. The problem here is that you reset the persistent variables back to False once you start a new game, so everything that was unlocked before is now locked again. Just take out those lines from the script and you'll be fine.

In Irys' side story, if you pick the "Eat" option at the menu, it'll still jump to the fight anyway. Was that intentional? It just didn't feel right, so I doubt it was.

And Midnight's story crashed on me.

I'm sorry, but an exception occured while executing your Ren'Py
script.

SyntaxError: invalid syntax (line 1)

While executing game script on line 254 of /Applications/renpy-5.6.7/The_Missing_Tickets/game/event_dispatcher.rpy.

I hope you can fix it. I'm interested in seeing how his mini story will play out.

It is impossible to download.

I wait the 45 sec, then a 404 page shows up.
Meep...

[Recca Phoenix]

erm, I'll try to fix the broken download.
Also, anyone have any idea about the error message and how to fix what's wrong? I've tried everything I can think of.

[Recca Phoenix]

downloads fixed (see 1st post)
Still trying to fix Midnight's story.

Unless that "event_dispatcher.rpy" file is yours, I'd suggest pming PyTom so he looks at this. Sounds like something only he could get ô_o

Is this still broken? The problem is invalid syntax in one of the events passed to the event dispatcher.

[Recca Phoenix]

Yes it's still broken.

Not sure what the problem is, I can't really locate it in the script. I just noticed another problem too - there are three "attributes" but only the bars for two of them show up in the day planner.

The traceback error I get comes up when I try to use the day planner:

Code: Select all

All that's on line 1 of the event dispatcher is

Code: Select all

init -100:

I'm not exactly sure how the init -# thing works, I may have an init-100 somewhere else in my script maybe that is the problem?
