I can't make any promises about Tania. As I said, I think she does have her arc, which meets the "minimum requirements" to be in the final version.
I'll also check the goblin girl and the Zanark inn scenes.
There are some lore books already, although they are usually accessible as individual books on shelves (like in the mages guild). Some topics in particular you'd like me to expand on?
you didn't answer my first question
well like stuff about the spider lady about santhora more stuff about their pantheon about indivduals (in our journal i guess?) like that
could you add some QoL improvements like if you use ctrl to hide text the scene doesn't move forward or an option like that and a scene repeater and as for the cheats see if you can add stuff or fix bugs (could be useful in exploring paths or just having fun)
Ooops! I don't know how I missed it.
TOTDC stands for Tales of the Drunken Cowboy. It's the game I made before Caliross. It used an engine for text adventures (RAGS), but it's not that far from Caliross conceptually. It's kind of an adventure/RPG hybrid, you have turn based combats, all sorts of puzzles, some traits that affect your choices (although in TOTDC I didn't really have "sexy" traits, and you picked 3 out of 5 at the start of the game) and so on. It's a sci-fi game (The Drunken Cowboy is the name of the spaceship) and you go around with an all-female crew, with mind-control as the main fetish.
New lore about the spider lady is hard to include in the libraries, since you already have to research her species and they are a bit of a mystery in the world of Caliross. I could certainly add more about the pantheon. As for individuals, do you just mean Erica should write something in her journal after meeting important figures, or is it for love interests?
I'll look into blocking the scenes from advancing if the text is hidden. The scene repeater is sadly too much of a pain to add, given that I didn't originally plan for it, and now the scenes are spread around hundreds of events in dozens of maps, and I'd have to manually find each one, strip the code out of the scenes and then figure out how to track which ones are unlocked... It's not impossible, but it would take a few months of doing just that, which isn't ideal.
no problem
well where is TOTDC hosted?
well i would say both it would be nice to see new entries depending on how much we progressed with someone (traits should also have an effect) and officials would be entries about people (we can/do get political so bios for big shots are important)
well adding that is upto you
damn i think thats all the things i needed to say for now but holy this is the longest comment chain i have seen its a whole thread now sorry for taking your time
take care
The first TOTDC was made using pictures from the internet, so it remains a bit of a "clandestine" game. You can find links to it in my blog:

There are also links to my older games. Note that there are HTML conversions of the games, so if you don't have or can't run RAGS, you can still play the games with a browser (just remember to use right-click when interacting with something to see the available actions).
I see what you mean. No promises about journal entries (there are a lot of important NPCs at this point), but I'll think about it.
Ha-ha-ha, it was pretty long for sure. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and have fun with the game!
