Random Number Generator, aka chance, luck, whatever. When a gamble goes right it's the RNG gods smiling upon you, and if it goes wrong, it's the RNG loving you over.

:siren:The Goonscape Visual Novel is Finished!:siren:

Link for Windows, Mac, and Linux:

The game has been playtested by Bungh0 and me, and should hopefully not have any issues. Reminder that it's meant to play much like Ace Attorney, with Dangan Ronpa elements mixed in, and if you're familiar with Ace Attorney, this game should feel right at home, other than being simplified and having no game over penalties to focus on the story.

This is a murder mystery so keep spoilers in the spoilers tag!!

While RUNESCAPE NOT GOOD, this game I QUITE LIKE IT, and hopefully so will you. While you were busy poopsocking elf butt grabbing, I was poopsocking visual novel making.

One thing to note is that because Ren'Py automatically creates caches of images it deems may be called again later, your first investigation scene may result in lagging and objects not flashing properly. Don't fret - after the first scene, this should sort itself out.

The game took two months to create (felt like half a year) and you can probably sort it all out in about two to three hours, depending on how fast you read and solve the mysteries. It starts off very easy and may get a little difficult in a few spots, but nothing mind boggling.

While the game is dialogue and click heavy, you can tweak options to auto advance text and there's a little button in the textboxes you can click to toggle it, or you can use space bar to advance as well.

Anyway, enjoy and try to figure out... Who Killed Markkei Le Sade?

It was worth it because when I started, I had little, if any idea on how to use Ren'Py at all and now I'm pretty familiar with it, and I'm going to use it as a stepping stone for learning Python itself~

Straight outta HLF, the best way to get prawn balls for eggs and benefits (remember the free 50 from the Prawnbroker if you're 99 fishing):


quote:

Quick guide:

- 50 initial prawn balls from having lvl 99 fishing will give 2 perks
- Buy “Prawn items will be more frequent” perk
- Buy "Gain a landmark of your choice for your aquarium" (get the Fishing Guild trophy)
- Fish monkfish.
------------o 1 perk from 100 prawn balls
------------ o 1 perk from random golden egg from 100 prawn balls (1/100 chance)
------------ o 1 perk from monkfish golden egg
- Go to prawn store, buy all tier 1 rewards
- Buy tier 2 reward “Gain 1 random golden egg fish” for another perk
- Buy “Prawn Pennies and Prawn Pounds last for double the number of fish” perk
- Go to Swordfish + Tuna spot, activate prawn pennies and pounds from now on
- Go down the list of fish (http://i.imgur.com/AHF7Dnb), skipping any fish you already got a golden egg for

- Prioritize getting all 3 “Prawn items will be more frequent” perks
- When you have 10 perks, buy the perk “Gain 1 golden prawn cracker” for another perk

It's like pizza and wings - it's both a game and a novel at the same time. :-)

Ren'py is actually really easy to pick up, I only know basic stuff, but the visual novel was me learning to use Ren'py. It's just that the online documentation is complete garbage and probably written by a Jagex staff member, because it gives you examples that don't work because the syntax is completely wrong, or no examples at all when it would really loving help. :mad: Basically it's like it tells you to do addition as (5)(5)10 but when you put that in, it's completely wrong and you have to figure out it's actually 5+5=10 and the example was just completely outdated or poo poo.

But if you need any help with getting started, you can ask me. :)

I also learned something after making the VN as well.

Exotic dancers and strippers are the same thing. They're not different.:eng99:

One of the senior moderators for OldSchool got dumpstered today. Dan "Ducky" Reach was formerly the mod overseeing Bug Abuse/Content Development. As it turns out, instead of fixing bugs, he was introducing them into the game.

Notably, players are now claiming that Reach was responsible for, and actively ignored reports of a bug allowing players to become invincible at the Corporeal Beast, enabling the creation of bots who farmed corp for the past three months unimpeded. Most of the players who knew of this and actively abused the glitch were high-ranking members of Reach's personal clan chat.

Reach was personally overseeing the development of the "Zeah" continent expansion scheduled for late this summer/early next year, which likely shelves the project until any already-developed code can be reviewed, if it doesn't scrap the idea entirely.

I've said it before but it still seems relevant. Why are they introducing brand new content to a version of the game that's supposed to be a time capsule of RS in 2007? After a while it stops being something nostalgic and becomes a separate, uglier version of the same game.

It became a separate uglier version of the game within like 2 months of launch. I really don't see the appeal, at least Runescape Classic sticks to what it was.

I'm just so sick of it. :( I'm unrelentingly nice, and you know what? I never get topped or eaten. I'm utterly sick of it. Females, you have brought this upon me, here is my essay about how Nice Pizzas Finish Last. I know you Goonscapers would understand.

Nice Pizzas Finish Last

quote:

This is a tribute to the nice pizzas. The nice pizzas that finish last, that never become more than stale dried crusts, that endure hours of whining and bitching about how tasteless pizzas are, while disproving the very point. This is dedicated to those pizzas who always provide a slice to chew on but restrain themselves to tentative bites, those pizzas whose boxes hold open doors and give reassuring scents on the nose and sit patiently, cooling outside the changing room at department stores. This is in honor of the pizzas that obligingly reiterate how cute/beautiful/smart/funny/sexy their female friends are at their hungriest moment, because they know most girls need that litany of support. This is in honor of the pizzas with open boxes, with laid-back pizzatudes, with honest nutrition. This is in honor of the pizzas who respect a girl’s every facet, from her chewacy to her pieology to her topping style.

This is for the pizzas who escort their drunk, bewildered female friends back from pizza parties and never force binge eating once they’re at her door, for the pizzas who accompany girls to bars as buffers against the rest of the creepy calzone population, for the pizzas who know a girl is fishing for toppings but give them out anyway, for the pizzas who always bake by the rules in a game where the rules favor broilers, for the pizzas who are accredited as eating material but somehow don’t end up being dinner, for all the nice pizzas who are overcooked, underbaked, and untopped, for all the nice pizzas whose toppings are picked off, mischewed, and unjustly unfinished, this is for you.

This is for that time she left 40 urgent messages on your delivery number, and when you called her back, she spent three hours painstakingly dissecting two toppings her pizza gave to her over dinner. And even though you thought her pizza was tasteless and a Digorno, you assured her that it was all ok and she shouldn’t worry about it. This is for that time she interrupted the best killing spree you’d ever orchestrated in Grand Theft Calzone 3 to rant about a rumor that romantically linked her and the pizza she thinks is the most disgusting pizza in the world. And even though you thought it was picky and you had nothing against the pie, you paused the game for two hours and helped her bake up a counter-rumor to spread around the kitchen. This is also for that time she didn’t have a lunch, so after numerous vows that she wasn't really “craving” pepperoni, she boxed you to a party where you knew nobody, the wings were awful, and she nibbled shamelessly on you, justifying each bite of reckless chewing by announcing to everyone: “oh, but I'm just snacking!” And even though you were invited purely as a symbolic warm snack for her tummy, you delivered anyways. Because you’re nice like that.

The nice pizzas don’t often get ordered where ordering is due. And perhaps more disturbing, the nice pizzas don’t seem to get topped as often as they should. And I wish I could logically explain this trend, but I can’t. From what I have observed on campus and what I have learned from talking to pizzas at other schools and in the workplace, the only conclusion I can form is that many girls are just satiated, dieting bitches. Many of them claim they just want to eat a nice pizza, but when presented with such a specimen, they say irrational, confusing things such as “oh, it’s too nice to eat” or “it would be a good breakfast but it’s not for me” or “it already puts in so many calories for me, I couldn’t possibly eat it out!” or the most frustrating of all: “no, it would ruin my diet.” Yet, they continue to lament the lack of edible pizzas in the world, and they expect their too-nice-to-eat pizza pals to sympathize and apologize for the pizzas that are nasty. Sorry, pizzas, girls like that are beyond my ability to fathom. I can’t figure out why the connection breaks down between what they say (I want a nice pizza!) and what they do (I’m going to eat this grease laden meat lovers now!). But one thing I can do, is say that the nice-pizza-finishes-last phenomenon doesn’t last forever. There are definitely many girls who grow out of that train of thought and realize they should be eating the nice pizzas, not topping them for granted. The tricky part is finding those girls, and even trickier, finding the ones that are starving.
So, until those girls are found, I propose a bake to all the nice pizzas. You know who you are, and I know you’re sick of hearing yourself described as ubiquitously delicious. But the truth of the matter is, the world needs your scent in the department store, your box holding open of doors, your pizza party escorting services, your propensity to be a sucker for a hungry smile. For all the crazy, inane, absurd topping prefs you tolerate, for all the situations where you are the topless, cheeseless pizza, my accolades, my acknowledgement, and my gratitude go out to you. You do have credibility in this society, and your well deserved feasting is coming.
