A Family Affair v1.7 [DOWNLOADABLE]

By Steve Rennie (Grandad)

*Looks at the title screen*
Oh....dear....god! {yolkfolk}:rofl:

WARNING:
THIS GAME HAS ADULT CONTENT, QUESTIONABLE MORALS AND POOR TASTE.
Also, Dora is counting on you to open the ten easter eggs, but I've already told her that she shouldn't get her hopes (or anything else) up as most players don't stand a chance of finding all ten eggs so she can go on a bonking spree in a bonus game.

Download via Yolkfolk.com.
:egg: DOWNLOAD HERE

NOTE: This game will take slightly longer to load up because of the number of tiles used on this one.
:egg: Help Thread

STORY:
Find the five Rings of Olympic to save the world ...and ten easter eggs if you want to play the bonus game ...plus 12 photos if you want to see Dora getting down and dirty.

NOTES:
No nasties in this game ...apart from the puzzles, so there'll be no getting hurt or popping of clogs.

Good news, you can carry up to five items and in some cases, when solving puzzles, the action will be automatic if the correct item is (or items are) in the inventory - this is helpful when the item required is obvious and saves having to open up the inventory and decide whether to use a pickaxe or a teapot to make a nice, refreshing cup of tea.
However, it's not helpful if you're not sure whether an item is required or whether it's just me making a comment on the object you've just actioned in an attempt to make you think that you don't need to use an item.
Oh well, back to actioning everything and jumping into all walls ...just in case there's another secret passage.

In previous games with running ability, there were times, when picking up an item, you couldn't drop/use another item until you had closed and re-opened the inventory.
As I can't fix this, the inventory box won't be shown when picking up or swapping an item, but you will hear a beep to show that something has been picked up or swapped.

Don't forget that when in running mode you can jump further.
You don't jump higher, just further.

Oh, and just to mess with your heads a little bit more, some puzzles are only solved by one of the characters whilst the others get different responses, which may, or may not, be a solution or a hint to another puzzle.

GAME SIZE:
Press F10 to switch between windowed or full screen mode.
In some versions of Windows 10 you may need to amend the setup file:
Double click to open, then choose, config, video, and click on windowed to change it to full screen, then exit.

Wow. This looks awesome. Cannot wait to unlock those Easter eggs and show Dora a good time. Thanks Grandad for your dedication to making such great games! (For sick ****s like me)

Unfortunately, my items vanished when the another character got them, so I think I have to restart. What a shame. I have noticed a bug with double gems too.

Chlodnik can you be more precise, I've tested this game for weeks now and never discovered a problem with the diamonds being duplicated.

Not sure what you mean by items vanishing. If you swap characters the items they were carrying stay with them which is why I added the warehouse, so that the characters could leave them there for another character to pick up when needed.

I dont know why and how but after changing the character dizzy and days both have 3 diamonds (yellow, white and blue). Daisy had 3 different items before the change. After change these items vanished and Dizzy's diamonds appeared in Daisy's inventory. When Dizzy dropped the diamond, diamond was laying on the floor until Daisy dropped her diamond the same colour and Dizzy's diamond vanished. I have lost the credit card and 2 other items so I had to start from beginning. I have the save's file and if you want I can send it to you.

EDIT: the same again :/

EDIT 2: the diamond in inventory disappeared :/ When I want to load previous save the another problem appears - I have in inventory the item which I used before.

Grandad what I have to do? Play over again or wait for game's update?

How weird. I've been playing around swapping items (diamonds & Ground chili ) between characters and dropping items for the other character to pick up, but I cannot make duplicates appear. I've also checked the coding to ensure that items cannot be 'collected' twice. So have no idea why you seem to be cursed.

All I can suggest is that you download another copy and see what happens. Sorry.

Grandad

Sorry too. I'll wait for update, in this point it's waste of time playing it. I don't know when the game will crash again. Even If I save the game, when I want to load previous file, the problem with double items appears. Download two times from link above and no change.

The game is in version 1.0 but thread is about version 1.1. Maybe you should upload the game in another link?

Chlodnik, I amended the game (but forgot to change the version number) before AdzM loaded the game, so as the only change was to change the co-ordinates for a collide object. It won't make any difference to the problems you're experiencing.

Nobody else has commented, or started a help thread so I don't know whether the problem is unique to you, or something has gone wrong with the engine as this is such a large game, especially as I cannot duplicate your problems.

I'm really sorry, but I have no idea what's happening as I've used the same 'switch character' coding along with the items they are carrying for all the games I've made with multiple playable characters.

Playing 3 time. Maybe the last haha. Grandad check PM (I have a question about gloop cake) :wink:

gloop cake is made at Mrs Goblins. You need to add the correct ingredients in the correct amounts in the gloop cake making machine.

Done it. Found green ring and 2 more items to collection but still stucked with dozen of items :/

Glad to hear it. Can't have my games being too easy can I {dizzy}:mad:

Got another easter egg (4 actually). One more ring and 2 key skulls. Items: crowbar, machete, hand drill, small rock, wooden spoon, spade, wd40, stool, spray starch, empty bottle of wine, air refreshener, mystery potion, hair brush, can of coke, bucket of water, pickaxe, lump of coal, 4 red mushrooms . Little hint for weekend? :wink:

Found another few bugs.

Too early for hints.

What bugs have you found?

Too early for bugs :wink:

Grandad, I've unlocked adult DORA without getting 10 easter eggs. Is it a another bug or not?

As nobody else is either playing or not bothering to comment I don't have anything to check it against Chlodnik. I couldn't find a way to switch or lose objects and I couldn't find an error in the coding. Likewise the coding is correct for unlocking the adult game, so there shouldn't be a way to unlock the adult game without finding all ten easter eggs. :wall:

Well, I assume that you've tested game as a creator but players are doing everything in game because they don't know it (for instance I placed the stool everywhere and most of the bugs are connected to jumping off the screen and reaching areas normally unavailable without using stool). Do you have a messenger account? I can send you all bugs which I found (faster way than posting on forum).

EDIT about a progress in game: 1 more ring, 1 red mushroom for lady nature and 1 key skull, which I can see (the bird wants something to eat). Found 12 photos. Items: crowbar, machete, hand drill, small rock, wooden spoon, spade, wd40, stool, spray starch, empty bottle of wine, air refreshener, mystery potion, hair brush, can of coke, pickaxe, lump of coal.

I really don't know what is happening in your game Chlodnik - you shouldn't be able to take the stool out of the library. If you have the stool in your inventory when crossing the white beam then you get thrown backwards. Also you need to jump on the stool to be able to reach the window so you can't take it out of the window.

I've tested this game over and over and have checked my coding for item swapping, egg collecting and the library card & stool, so have no idea as to why you are having so many problems. The only thing I can think of (apart from an act of Ms God) is perhaps some versions of Windows 10 aren't totally compatible with the DizzyAge engine. All my game creations and testing are done on a Windows XP machine. I play all my 'commercial' games on a Windows 7 machine ...I only use my Windows 10 machine for internet stuff.

Likewise my mobile phone (like NowhereGirl) is an ancient Nokia that doesn't have a camera or an internet connection, so no Messenger account. Not that I think it would be useful as I'm sure the bugs cannot all be due to my coding, as this is my 48th game. I can accept a couple of silly bugs when I'm coding, but the amount of bugs you're finding is way out of proportion, which is why I think there's another factor involved.

PS - I do try and take all possible actions into account when coding, as not only do some players do stupid things, some players also like to check whether the programmer has taken all actions into consideration and have lots of fun discovering things that no sane person would attempt to do.

@grandad This is exactly, what I'm doing with the stool. I've played most of your games and using the stool and taking it from the library was the obvious choice for me like in previous games. Beside the hidden rooms and secret areas are annoying me but I thought that you've planned using stool to discover secrets.

Okay, so check the stool and we'll see what is coming next. I'm waiting for the clue to the game.
