Monsters of New Haven High - last update 4/02

Just played the small demo and I love it!

Okay, just uploaded the demo for (most of) the first school day (it’s in the same folder as the earlier demo, so the link in the first post will send you there.) I’ll be working for the next six hours or so to work in the after school scenes and fill in the blanks in classes.

If anyone’s awake and waiting, please feel free to start playing! I’ll check back when I upload the rest to see if anyone’s found some new bugs. I’m pretty sure the school day runs without game-crashing bugs, but if I’ve missed one I’ll try to fix it as soon as it’s pointed out.

I knew staying up to 3 am had benefits!

I’m in the UK so its 9am at time of posting. Been getting more and more antsy as time progressed though :smiley:

Will take a look and provide feedback.

Edit: Ran in to the following error:

Lunch_Period_Disambiguation line 17: Invalid expression at char 10, expected Number, String, Var or Parenthetical, was: Inequality[!]

Edit 2: So I’m winding up with different errors on play throughs. Succubus ends up with the above error after swimming, vampire winds up with another. Lunch_Period_Disambiguation line 13: invalid ${} variable substitution at letter 135.

Fixed the two you pointed out (both were minor typos with major consequences.) Sorry about that, and thanks for finding them!

…Man, I have to get quicktest working before my next major update. That would take care of a lot of this stuff.

Found another one :smiley:
Running through as succubus this time.
This one is rather long in the error box. It starts out with Uncaught error: home_life line 96: label 'vampire_mansion > ā€œfranz!ā€

Oh no. :smiley: The good news is, you made it to the end of the school day!

The bad news is, you’ve run into a section of deprecated code about home life that you never should have been sent to. That will undoubtedly be fixed when I upload the new home life files, but I’ll see if I can hide that monstrosity for now.

(Note to eager playtesters: LordOfLA’s error message does contain a sneak preview of some of the actual after-school choices.)

Heh, I find it fitting that my rebellious succubus gets up to things she shouldn’t be :smiley:

Found another error for you :stuck_out_tongue:

Playing through as vampire and choosing to go to humanities at 4th period with Chantal results in this being the second paragraph:

goto regular_class Also in this class are Chantal and Wendy. You think it sounds like the start to a joke: ā€œa vampire, a wendigo, and {d_title} walk into Humanities classā€¦ā€ Whether it would be a dirty joke or a strange one, you can’t say.

You’re a superstar, @LordOfLA. If we’re down to display errors by now, though, that’s semi-encouraging.

No worries, I was just very eager to play more :smile:

Both vampire and succubus get through to the following if I avoid the broken choices:

"Class seems to pass quickly, and then it is time for you to go home. Sometimes you find a reason to stick around after school, but today you have other plans. ".

For succubus I need to take 4th period humanities to get that far, 4th period lunch results in the sneaky code creeping in. Haven’t tried that path with the vampire.

I edited one line that might have been causing confusion, but if it’s still not fixed, fourth period lunch/fifth period humanities might be my first really mystifying bug.

I’ll test it myself a bit later, but for now, any testers might want to take Humanities fourth period.

Update: As a succubus, I got to science class with my newer code even after selecting fourth period lunch. @LordOfLA’s right, the mystery error crops up due to some other line.

Ah if I skip science class as a succubus that error sneaks in as well. So that shows up whatever choice you make for lunch.

@Sashira youre so awsome! I had a great time with the new demo so far my favorit is playing as a male succubus, totally going for Hunter! ^^ Cant wait for you to add the next parts :grinning: cheers to you!

Two plays, the Nerdy Vampire…and the Slacker Incubus.
Going to get the Yandere to fall in love with me in both of them!

Great game so far :wink: I played as female vampire and then female succubus - both awesome. I totally like Hunter - he’s so my type. He reminds me a little of Daryl from TWD. For my playthrough as a female vampire, Caleb seems interesting as well - looking forward to some more interaction with him.
Can’t wait for more!

Aw, thank you! (Note to players who don’t prefer men - ā€œCalebā€ is the alternate default name for ā€œChantalā€ the demon.)

I wrote the romantic options and viewpoints based on a genuine liking of all of my characters. Being asexual is harder for me to imagine, but I’m trying my best. :disappointed_relieved:

The one character I’m afraid is not interesting enough, at the moment, is Taylor. I added some more personality before this last update to try to correct that. If there is any character that still comes off as boring or two-dimensional, please let me know!

Also, please do report the obvious bugs. If someone is the wrong gender, the continuity is messed up, something displays wrong, or you can’t make it through eighth period, let me know and I’ll fix it as soon as I can.

Okay! I took some time out to test and improve the first school day, but now I’m going back to home life. I’ll have that out in the next 2-5 hours, depending on how many bugs I create for myself.

@Sashira i played the boy werewolf path and decided to flirt with Hunter by saying.

"Darling, I know you have the hots for me - and so on

And this is what i got:
At first, his mouth falls open in disbelief - then his face hardens as he decides it was a subtle insult. Some people are so miserable that it’s difficult for compliments to sink in… or maybe you did mean to insult him. Either way, you will have to focus on what you can change, {Hunter_Name}'s mood not being one of them.

Obviously Hunters name should be there not Hunter_Name. Hopefully that will help.

This is maybe a little premature, but I’m grateful to my early fans and playtesters.

My plan is to stop updating the public demo after the second day (which will take me at least another week to code.) If you’d like to be one of my early beta testers, please send me a private message. If you can’t commit to putting in the time whenever I get out a new version, that’s fine, just let me know and I’ll find some more people.

I would love to have about 20 people in my secret testing group, so I don’t expect all of these slots to fill up for awhile.

as werewolf can not pass the third period , you can fix that please

Played through as a male werewolf and when I got the gym class after choosing to concentrate on my swimming I got this.
