Two New Hosted Games! "Dinosaur Island Escape" and "Pirates of Donkey Island"

So, the description for Pirates Of Donkey Island says “choose your body and orientation during the game,” but in the beginning it seems to force me to be a straight female no matter what I do, stating I always wanted to be a princess and marry a specific prince. This seems like a bug to me.

it’s not a bug, its a feature. There’s a body swap thing where the female mc is put into a ‘male’ body and player has a the option for the mc to discover that they are trans ( so in essence if you play that then you are playing a male mc from the start).

Kinda weird that the hosted games thread on the forum hasn’t been updated

It is good to see how the talent to express what lives in our imagination flourishes to share it with others. :slightly_smiling_face:

In my opinion, that counts as a genderlocked game and should be stated so.

it literally says it in the description

technically not, since you are able to decide your gender during the game. The female MC at the beginning of the story seems more of a scene-setter?

WOW! Congratulations @AgentV :gift_heart:

I am so happy to see my very first Hosted Games published :heart_eyes: It’s a crazy, swashbuckling game that has a lot of “crazy” features. One of them is: you can decide your final gender and orientation during the game, instead of choosing it at the beginning, as usually happens.

Thank you, everybody, for your support. I’d love to hear your feedback.

@Milkwithhoney try a different approach and think outside the box. If you like, mp me and I’ll tell you more :blush: (by the way, when I played LeChuck’s revenge, it took me 6 days to figure that puzzle out).

So I’ve been playing the dinosaur game, just got off the island by way of helicopter (that I guess I found at some point?), only to discover that my dumbass partner went and got themselves purposely stranded on the same island, just because they wanted to be stranded on an island full of dinosaurs, too.

Bruh.

Yeah, It’s basically The Room Of interactive fiction.
To quote my Discord rant.
I played Dinosaur Island Escaped. Beat it in a day. It had some good puzzles and comedy… at least when it was trying to be funny, when it wasn’t it was hilarious.

Your spouse is easily the dumbest RO in all of COG history. She saw that you got PTSD from Dinosaur Island, and decided to go there so you two could have something to do for the weekend. You then only take 6 bullets over there, I know that ammo prices are high, BUT ONLY 6? And then then this other lady, Lisa shows up from somewhere and immediately starts flirting with you infant of your wife, who doesn’t say anything even if you flirt back. This is because she’s from somewhere that’s never mentioned. All because the military was taking too long, so it was faster to track you down and put the fate of the world in the hands of 3 people, one was the before-mentioned idiot. Who asked you to marry you even though you were married even before the story began, with a kid who’s never mentioned except in character creation. During this time there is not ONE police officer, national guard, or even gun owner this whole time.

On top of that, the pictures look generic and are in completely different styles. Almost like they were stolen.




I can’t say for sure where they’re from, but I doubt the creators were paid.

The different styles are most likely a result of the author utilizing public domain, commercial licensed, or otherwise free-to-use/manipulate images. There’s really no need to go around accusing people of art theft when we have a simpler, less insidious explanation.

Yeah, hell, I figured they snagged a few assets from Getty Images and put those to work, myself. I honestly wasn’t bothered by it, not everyone is a visual artist, some of us… You know… write instead.

By the way, I would like to thank again Alessia Sagnotti for drawing such a great cover for my game.

I have a question regarding the dinosaur game. Can the second door on the second floor of the castle be opened?

Please be very careful of accusing people of theft without investigating first as that’s a serious accusation to make. For example a quick search in tineye reveals the pterodactyl, smoke stacks and wine glass to be stock images.
