This update's not out yet, sorry for getting your hopes up. My most recent update is in my first post, and there's a few mods on the last page. I'll have an update link when I finish, which could be a while, dunno.
Been making hella progress today, though- the sewer dungeon's mapped out and has room logic, and I just need to program the weird parts of the enemies' behavior before that's all done.

Re: Working on a Text Game
You know what forget the cult
https://mega.nz/#!0RUXVAKQ!sv3vEPfLXnqS ... YrKcL77VJM
NONSENSE ADDED:
-Unbirth Transformations
-Digest/Indigest commands
-Kerva Dungeon- Kerva's offering spelunking tours after you first find her! Be careful of what's lurking around in some of those caves... (couple of ub scenes)
-Sewer Dungeon- The sewer has monsters in it now. Who would've guessed. They seem to be dragging people off somewhere...
-various bug fixes
-new intro
-various text formattings
-various stuff I forgot
-an exposition lizard in the mountain area. He can undo transformations.
There's some plot stuff for kerva's dungeon to add, some sex scenes for the sewer dungeon end (and something to do with that npc you can rescue), and a cult that I didn't add here- that all comes a later day. Next time I think I'll work on fleshing out the RPG mechanics.
There's probably a ton of bugs with this now. please let me know if you see anything at all that looks off.

First bug I've noticed is that you can't swap to a character that you've consumed in any way. Quest crashes whenever you try

Well, that's a problem. Let me see what I can find.
Edit: looks like the inventory swap is trying to recurse itself, i guess???? quest this is why no one likes you.
Thanks for the heads-up, I'll get it fixed along with whatever anyone else finds in the next day or so
Edit 2: I was using the wrong regex standard and it was trying to swap organs around. Previous statement applies.

Re: Working on a Text Game
Odd bug with this version; went down ta the sewers and started eatin' goo gators as I explored. After digestin' one or two, I was suddenly gettin' "You can feel Seashell Locket squirming in your stomach" messages. Maybe a wanderin' gator ended up triggerin' that sequence fer itself?
I be fulla sharp things.

Re: Working on a Text Game
...this is related to an old bug where that item appeared randomly on the sewer floor. Never found out how it was happening.
You have no idea how many ways that message should be impossible. To fix the message, try taking a dive off the cliff to meet kerva to get the item normally. Will try to kludge it tomorrow.
E: also if you want to fully explore the sewer don't forget to try to get ate. Forgot to mention that in the update.

Did take a dive afterwards, but I didn't get the normal shell locket event message. Made it back ta the top of the cliff, and still got the shell locket message. Managed ta release the locket, but then it just became invisible in gone.
Maybe instead of checkin' fer a null location, make an empty room fer it (and maybe future items) and then check if the location is there?

Re: Working on a Text Game
That's actually exactly what I've been doing- it's labeled NullObject and it holds items and the creature image dummy objects you use to interact with things in your stomach. Somehow the locket's... escaped

Then maybe a second room fer objects that's separate from the creature image dummy things? Maybe the locket gets carried along by one of the Goo Gator things somehow.

Hint: turns out that "give <object> to <subject>" is a command. Somethin' might happen if ya give it ta the right person...

How do you offer yourself to predators in this version? The old "offer (predator name)" isn't working.

Yeah I'm just gonna throw it on the cliff floor for now and scour the goo creature references.

This is advice you should all take for all adventure games! Whenever you get a new thing, rub it on everyone.

Hey thanks! Honestly I should probably be adding that function in myself but I'm lazy.
Speaking of which, the last bug update s here- https://mega.nz/#!VI0SzRIQ!6rWD6PUsMwQk ... x1B-2vx7Tw -and it's the last update for a long while since it looks like I'll be loosing actual computer access for some time. Wish me luck!
Hopefully the locket thing is fixed, and you can now give it to Elvon.
