Hong Kong Blood Opera Updated 21st of July

Thank you for the feedback Alex. I’m working on fixing that now.

I find the setting and plot very interesting, but I am confused about what the stat are for. It will be better with short explanation for the stats.

If I don’t see a Sleeping Dogs reference somewhere in this game then I’ll be disappointed. Lol, but for real this looks intriguing, glad to see a game take place in a modern, eastern hemisphere setting. Even more so when it’s not in Japan (not that I have anything against Japan at all, just interesting to see a change).

Hi!


Also, the scene when we interact with magician keeps repeating itself until we make two rounds of meeting him and choosing choices which we did not choose before. Because the choices that we made the first time when we met him are already greyed out.

Thank you so much for spotting that. This is the kind of thing that randomtest doesn’t flag up.

The demo ran off a cliff, there’s missing chapter files that I forgot to load into dashingdon.

I’ve uploaded the next chapter. It’s probably buggy and rough though. I should have it polished up this month but if you have a savegame you can stick your toe in.

Thank you so much for this feedback. I really appreciate it.

You’re going to be disappointed. I haven’t played Sleeping Dogs.

Actually I played the first five minutes and it crashed. The big inspiration for Hong Kong Blood Opera is Johnnie To, John Woo, Ringo Lamm, Wong Jing and Tsui Hark.

I think Sleeping Dogs is based on the 14K Triad which is a bit more “street” than the Golden Mountain Society which is an amalgam of older more traditional Triads.

Thanks again to all the playtesters. I’m currently polishing these chapters and bringing two more chapters online. I’ve just added the Manila chapter (which is rough and buggy).

I’m also working on an screen which gives explanations of the stats and what they mean for gameplay.

Ah okay, fair enough haha. Sleeping Dogs is a nice game with a cool story, I’d recommend giving it a shot if you’re ever interested. The melee system is dope.

Im hurt from before according to some text. Ive tried a buncha combos of kung fu/brawl and get beat with my lying on the ground ect, but the next paragraph like this one always mentions the carpet and stuff as if it skipped to a successful one

Im not sure if this abrupt scene change is intentional but it goes from 1 screenshot to the other


Is this Sister Ting stuff new? I don’t recall any of it from before the huge rewrite/change ya started on

Another potential hard skips in that order (ignore the double screenshot)

Cant show ya anymore, but of course now is when i see the reply up there about the demo running off a cliff

Guess i can look forward to those sister ting scenes :eyes:

Plays out very blunt:

Thank you so much for that. I’m going to fix these and I’ll post an update when this is sorted. There’s some big coding errors with the snake battle and the Macau chapter. Errors that didn’t trip up randomtest but show up as glaring continuity.

Sister Ting and the Macau chapter are new.

Hello everybody sorry for the radio silence these past six weeks. I’ve been a busy bee working on the game every day.

I decided to write the third act and all the endings before revising any of the first and second act. That’s why I’ve been quiet and not updated the demo. But I want to let you know that I’ve appreciated and noted all feedback I’ve received. Thank you so much I really appreciate it.

my poor english.
just finished the the funeral part.haha, its happy to see we have deep fried stinky tofu in this game,and the other foods, you really did some work about the backgraund search of hk :+1: :+1: :+1:
bisides i dont think its awful about the reunification of hk, it offers more opportunities for ordinary people.
hk has changed,but in a good way i think :grinning:

oh and after the funeral when Fong talk to MC about kidnapping the Snake seems like MC already know something about the Trio, but my MC just met them once only in the dock and didnt talk much.so its a little weird…

Thank you so much for your feedback. I spent so much time exploring HK on Google Street View and in videos I feel like I’ve been there.

Thank you for your view about reunification. I think on revising I’ll try to show another point of view in the game.

Thank you for the notes about the Trio and Germano. I’ll address those in my revisions.

Thank you so much for you comments about reunification. I’ve stolen your comment and I’ve incorporated it into a conversation in the game.
