So great to see new text adventures on zx! I'm enjoying it so far and, even though I'm stuck a bit (I've returned to initial location and now can remember) and hoping that perhaps i think of something or some zx-friend on discord will find something else, some minor notes/issues I've seen:
- it'd be great if HELP would mention EX as a shortcut for EXAMINE, as X and EXAM didn't work: it was only on your screenshot that I saw the use of EX,
- the same help mentions the USE as not working, it's a bit misleading, as it was with USE P**** that I could turn the *** on (later I thought about the TURN ON/OFF syntax),
- the examination of friend mentions "TALKING ABOUT xxx", while the correct syntax is "TALK ABOUT xxx",
- ENTER CAR didn't work while "GET IN CAR" worked, and that feels like a bug, there's no reason they'd not be synonims.
The game has wonderful room pictures, this is a very solid work!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed message and playing my game.
Your notes are extremely helpful, Because I know I’ve probably made a lot of mistakes.
-You’re right about EX not being mentioned properly in HELP. That’s clearly something I should clarify.
-You’re right about the USE command. In Spanish it was actually more limited, and when translating it into English I thought it might feel more natural in some cases. I’ll update it and mention that it ‘almost never works’.
-I thought I’d fixed the ‘talking about’ already, but apparently not — well spotted.
-I wasn’t sure about the correct way to phrase getting into the car, but thanks — I’ll add it.
-Thanks again. There’s a Spanish solution on itch.io, and I’ll try to translate it quickly and link it as soon as I can.
Happy New Year, and thanks again!
update:
Thanks to you, I’ve discovered a bug: if you turn the p*** on with USE P***, you need to turn it off and then turn it back on with TURN ON, because USE didn’t allow objects to be examined.
