The school panto.

The first performance of this years school panto went down a storm.

(Click to enlarge)

No expense was spared for this years production of  'Little Red Cinderella's Faery Tale' it would seem. It was filmed and released on the first of December under the guise of something called
'Teachers Pet.' and has already achieved over 31.000 downloads.
The staff, pupils and parents of Melchet High would like to express thier utmost gratitude to everyone that has participated in downloading thus far and especially the staff and volunteers that made all of this possible. The editing staff are currently working on an improved HD version of the production and hope to have it ready very early on in the new year.
Until then may I, (acting headmaster Realgood.) the staff and all of the pupils and parents here at Melchet High, take this opportunity to wish you all a very, very merry Christmas and an exceptionally wonderful and happy new year.

Cheers all
The Doc

A little about the game.

You are a young man at school who has the chance to dog sit for his English teacher.
There is a test at school today, if you don't do well, you'll have to stay home and study instead.
7 points needed to progress, 2 very simple bonus points to be earned. One of my testers thought the quiz was impossible, but I came up with each question and answer off the top of my head.
IF you do need help, you only have to ask, I want this shite little game to be shite and enjoyable.
All sex commands are usual.
I urge you to smell taste and take everything.

All bug reports welcome, I already know about The door, The door, The door or The door.
Thoughts and criticisms eagerly excepted.

Big Bug reported, thanks for finding it. If you ask Lisa about problem when she is at home, it will take you all the way back to school. So please don't do it. 

Spoilers have been added somewhere in the comments, probably the best puzzle I've done.
I hope they help.

Before we begin!!

I have heard nothing  from my beta testers since the 16th of this month.
So, before we begin.....

Teacher's Pet is as much  a graphic novel as it is AIF,
It's not very good. Yes you interact (mostly), and yes the graphics are great. (I hope). But, I personally, would not play it more than twice. I'm sorry, but it's a fact.
I wanted to write AIF and I wanted to learn TADS3. That's all it ever  was!  I have said as much, so many times. I have tried so MANY tines to proof read the game myself  but  I may have missed  a few.
The game will be out, in the next few days, I need to get rid of it lol.
I have other games to work on, and I will not let..... "The Bastard Child." stand in the way of it!!!!!
If you go over to the Reddit site for AIF (https://www.reddit.com/r/AIFCentral/), there are so many people that say "Start small." That's what I did!!
I hope Mr Deus ExLibris does not slate it too much, but, I kinda hope he does. 
Ah well, C'est la vie!!

I have a mini flood going on in my living room at the moment, That's basically why it all slowed down. The membrane under the footings has had enough and given up the ghost.
You should just know that, once this is done, I do plan on continuing to write AIF.
I will not disappear. I will keep working, I will keep writing, and I will get better, through thick, thin or flood, I promise.
I prey my testers are O.K. Jarel started a new job this week, so please, wish him well, we all deserve at least that!!!!

Are we nearly there yet?

As it goes, I finally managed to get a weekend to myself, mostly. So the answer is..... YES, we most certainly are.
So, I need a couple of beta testers.
I would like one of the testers to have a little knowledge of tads 3 and both need to be able to proof read. I would also like both to have some experience in testing. I don't you see, and I would really like the help. Not with storyline (it's done) or with graphics (thier done). Just general pointers and the like.
The game is written, and complete. I basically need someone to break it lol.
Please mail me if you can help doctorrealgood(AT)gmail(dot)com.

Wooooohooooooo Speak to you all soon, I hope.

The straw that broke the camel's back.

When I sold my company, it was with the understanding that I would be on stand by, should they ever need me, for twelve months. That's fair, after all, I now my clients and the trade way better than they do, The last two weeks has been spent working for the 'New Lot' sorting out issues, blah, blah, blah. I agreed to do this for them for twelve months, The problem started when they asked me to go to Harrogate! Fucking Harrogate? I have nothing against the place or the people except, it's 250 miles away for fuck sake and we are now in month 32 !! After I sold the company.
It's nice, to be nice, but it;s not nice to be taken the piss out of.
It really was the straw that broke this camel's back. I do not need the money (I live ok, not wealthy, but ok.) so why the fuck should I do it?
Well, I care about my old customers, but only in the same way that I care about you, my readers. They are past tense. You, however, are the here and now. You help me shape myself into who and what I want to be.
I had a blast, great people that I shell never forget. Great times that surpass others. They are the past, and now, now is the future. There will be no-more detours, there will be no--more helping the people that I went over and beyond for.
Today, I start anew, no more pressure from anyone other than me. The game will be out soon!!!

Hug, love and kiss each other, keep yourselves safe, and be kind to one another. Acknowledge those that are in your life today, before they become your yesterday. But most importantly,, live for the now, the today, the very thing that makes you, you. Never look back, never submit. Keep it whole, keep it you!!

The Doc

P.S Congrats to AW on his new cover release. Looks awesome sir!

That was the week that was!

That was the week that was.... A total waste of time? Maybe. after saying that I was only a week away, I get called away for five days. "We need you in Shepard's Bush, at 8.30am, tomorrow. "
I don't live anywhere near London but, work is work, first and foremost. 5 days became 6, became 7. So nothing has been done to the game.
I am supposed to be retired from the trade for fuck sake ( I sold the business, I do not expect to have to keep jumping in. )
I did, however, manage to mess around with Daz a little more, and it now poses a series question.
I was always good with Poser but, I never managed to get that face shop of theirs quite right. With Daz I have created some figure's that are almost identical to the original model.
So my question is this.... How close is to close? I watched a few t.v shows and thought " I could make her. " But should I ever put them in a game? surely if they are that close it borders on 'invasion of privacy. ' Or something like that. None of the following are rendered to 100% (Just 10% in most cases. ) I have even left in some sketch lines But imagine if they were 100% I am all for
FanFiction, but is this taking it just one step to far?
I would really like to know your thoughts on this, I can easily get them closer, as a match, but would I ever use them?

Feeling a bit strange

I actually do feel a bit strange. The day before yesterday I completed the final piece of programming, I should have been elated, jumping through hoops and all that, instead, I felt a little lost, what do I do now? It's finished, all bar some writing.
I am a week, or so, away from asking for beta testers, but, having never had anything tested, what do I ask for?  Do I ask for proof readers? Do I  give them the game with full graphics?
Or just some, so that it doesn't spoil it to much?
I don't honestly know, I may be a month away or a day away. I really do feel a little lost. But I do know that I'm just about there. (Famous last words)
Any help would be appreciated.

As always, look after one another, and be nice.

The Doc
