House of Chavez beta 0.8.5

Post by jack1974 »

The game page on itchio: https://winter-wolves.itch.io/house-of-chavez

Current beta has everything final, except one CG with Dolores that's still using WIP art (but looks cute already! haha). We already did a good amount of bugs-squashing in the closed beta, but there might still be some left!

This game is a VN/adventure, so you'll need to use items and solve puzzles to complete it. There are also minigames but in the default Easy difficulty you can just fail them three times and then skip them if you like :)

What's New in 0.8.8

- fixed a bug that was always triggering Dolores' cliff scene after solving the riddle, causing the whole scene to repeat again
- fixed a bug that lets you trigger again Silke car scene by going to the pond during the last day

What's New in 0.8.7

- added more help texts to the rune decipher minigame
- removed an instance in which the rune letter gets accidentally removed from the inventory before you have solved the riddle

What's New in 0.8.6

- fixed adriana pinup achievement that wasn't triggering
- added a few lines the next time Adriana and Silke meet after Silke yelled at Dolores to explain
- fixed a crash due to changing the text in the candle description

What's New in 0.8.5

- added new background for grocery shop, more European style
- fixed a "[romance]" instead of the proper name when examining the candle in livingroom at night
- fixed setting to "solved" the puzzle "Silke in grass"
- hopefully this time really fixed the overflowing texts in the library monitor!

What's New in 0.8.4

- made the timing minigame (where you must click in the green area) a bit easier
- fixed a lot of typos and grammar
- fixed overflowing text in the monitor
- fixed the returning skull in vegetable garden when looking outside from the dining room window by zooming in :)

Typos and stuff. Many posts incoming.
Spoiler:
"mini skirt"
Image

I would drop "nevertheless". Also just "fit into"
Image

"French-Spanish". "There are a lot"
Image

Mmm, I guess "shout to tell us"
Image

"It's none of your business." seems more natural to me.

Spoiler:
Clunky wording. Maybe "he parrots her" or "he follows her gaze"
Image

"And why were we never"
Image

"It took you so long"
Image

Might be American vs British English, but I was taught it's "rolls down" when talking about car windows.
Image

"a good cleaning."

"This place has"

"he strikes a match"

"French" should be capitalized.
Image

"doesn't"

Spoiler:
I would probably go German and say "Oktober Fest". Also "dressed in a typical Bavarian outfit"
Image

"she said that"
Image

Clunky wording. Maybe "During a brief pause, Bruno passes the sink"
Image

"in school"
Image

"and a half"

Spoiler:
"snuck" is the commonly used word today, not sneaked.
Image

"shops besides a" or "outside of a"
Image

"it's the end of summer"
Image

Too many "untils", I'd just drop the first one.
Image

Text overflow. Also, it would be nice if you could adjust the text box slightly down, so the lower left corner didn't get covered by low letter like y.

Spoiler:
"rom-com" or "romantic comedy" if you want to spell it out.
Image

"is fogged over due to"
Image

Maybe zoom in a bit, so the text doesn't overflow the monitor? I know you'll lose a bit of the image, but this just looks silly.
Image

Mmm. "accusing me of stealing a girl" is a better phrase, I think.
Image

"Speaking of it" doesn't work, I forgot to screen the earlier sentence, but "speaking of <whatever was said>" or I guess you could say "speaking of which"

Maybe "in danger"

Image

"different from them"
Image

"I wouldn't exactly call that keeping a low profile."
Image

"going somewhere?"
