[old] Monopoly of Teases: Version 1.0

[whd]

Hello there

Eventually, my newest tease comes to the first real launch: Monopoly of Teases V1.0



Thanks for all the feedbacks to my beta version last december. I had to improve a lot and I did implement many ideas from your feedbacks, thanks once more.

The game is not very strategic. As in the normal Monopoly, the dice luck decides a lot.
I implemented also 3 modes: easy, normal and hard. I played only normal mode. Hard mode uses higher prices for rent and improvements. Hence the tasks become more challenging. The same in the other direction with easy mode. I guess, easy mode goes longer since the girls also don't have to pay that much and can stay in game for a longer time. But I did not test this.

I wonder, what people say to the community chest cards . Other ideas are welcome.

Strategy too win (faster):

There are not many possibilities because the dice decides the most.
It helps, if you are faster than the other ones. If you can collect many hotels and strip the girls visiting you, after 7 rounds stripping, they have nothing left and pay extra with every visit. Community Chest Cards help as well to advance against the others.

If you want to help me with variations, please check this post: viewtopic.php?p=372375#p372375
If it is too complicated with the template, you can message me with another idea, how to help. I am not in bbw, pain and have no estim. If somebody wants this, I can explain what I need to integrate it.

Cheers

Got 1 round into the game on hard mode.

Bug 1: When rent is collected, it doesn't get added properly. Suppose rent is $100 and one of the players has $250, the amount becomes $250100 instead of $350. This happens with anyone receives rent for landing on their property.

Bug 2 (Possible spoilers):

Spoiler: show

Not sure if it's a bug, but when I landed on one of the other players properties, I'm expected to edge 180 times? I know it's hard mode, but is that right?!

I am so sorry. I disconnect the choice of modes and test it. Something went totally out of hand, if you find such errors. I thought, it's only the change of one array to switch modes but obviously this went really bad.

The time window for one of the edge holding parts was so low (likely 0s) that the edge prompt didn't even pop up so I lost my game.

Also you should add a yes or no prompt to upgrade your properties so you aren't forced to upgrade.

Good game though I'd play again if it had more randomness for replay-ability

what mode, where, in which round? I cannot reproduce a state, where you have to edge within this little time. I only find places, where you have to edge in 20...30 seconds in the first time and second and third become shorter to maybe max of 10..8 seconds. It has to be error, misspelling which I don't find without knowing, where to search.

found thenerror. a function from another tease of mine did not work here so I had to reprogramm this function. Sorry, that I underestimated this and delivered untested SW.

The modes work now.

Suggestion: enable/unlock the edges after you pass Go the first time.

Great idea, with lots of potential, but it definitely needs some work...

Just a few issues I have with it:

Spoiler: show

* The chance game feels like it's rigged, and it's so boring/repetitive that I'd rather pay the $300 than deal with it at all.
* Most scenes are very repetitive, and that's not good for a tease that could end up taking hours to complete.
* Little to no variation in the photo sets that are used in property visits and property upgrades (I get it, photos can be hard to find, but most of those models have a lot of free sets available to use)
* Lots of bugs. Community chest cards disappearing, rents not properly calculated, payments not applied correctly, Etc.
* Impossible to win. At the point where any of the girls lose all their money, and no longer have any property to sell, the tease just breaks. Nothing happens, and you're stuck on the same page forever.

A few suggestions:
* Honestly, just giving the girls a bit more personality and spending some time on improving the writing would be a drastic improvement.
* More variation in the photos being used in various scenes.
* Different scenes available each time you land on community chest, taxes, Etc.

Thanks for your feedbacks.

good idea, but I have no clue, how to implement that. The tasks are hard coded for every property and shall get harder with time and depending on the property. For that reason, edging comes in the second half of the board automatically.
But I understand the request.

I am suprised, that there are still mistakes with the rent calculation, because this is copy pasted and the same routine. It worked quite a while properly and I am devasted, that this is not the case anymore. Please tell me where.
It was dump from me to make so many changes before launch. For instance going broke worked all the time. I implemented lately an exit in this routine to find the end, when no girl is left. There was a silly error, sorry about that.

CommChest Cards disapear, because you cannot use them always. If they help you for buying a property, they apear only when you are in buying process. Otherwise you can click it and I would not know what should happen then.
I am not a programmer. To build a state machine would solve it I guess but I am not certain, if I can do this from my own

The repetitiveness is still a problem I get it. The problem is maybe, that I tried to give the feel of Monopoly and this is repetitive as hell and only changing girls, tasks and strength doesn't solve it. Better writing, different stories would be fine but I might not have the power to do this much writing (even in foreign language).
I used kind of similar photo sets, because showing around of a property (house) is the subject. I tried to take girls as matching as possible, but yeah, it became very similar.

I'd be happy to help with the writing. I'm taking a bit of a break from working on my own series right now, so I have some time to spare.

Indiana went into the negatives, she sold her remaining properties which couldn't cover the cost, and the tease froze on a picture of her

"Indiana does not have enough money. Amount of depth is -205 $.

Indiana sells Baltic Avenue for 40 and B.&O. Railroad for 140"

I encountered this issue too. On Normal difficulty.

[Gump]

Bugreport: Indiana came to my Railroad something, had nothing to strip anymore and no money to pay, my last message is

Spoiler: show

Indiana sells no properties, because there are none left.

After that game crashed.

Same thing happens to me when any of the girls run out of money and properties.

did something go wrong while publishing?
I tested once more going broke with sale of two properties. Everything worked. Since I did find a mistake yesterday, I republish to be sure, that it did not go wrong with the last publication.
