Thank you. This is all good to know and will help when I plan future adventures.
With regards to the animals, they do hint at what they require (The stag hints at leadership and lineage, therefore the 'Pharaoh mask', the Owl speaks of silver discs 'silver coins' and the Scorpion speaks of coloured glass 'coloured gems'). These are the only 3 'treasures' in the game.
That was exactly what I suspected. I had used the owl.
Incidentally, can you add UNDO. To do this, just add the following:
game_settings {
rewind_enabled = true
rollback_enabled = true
}The first allows you to undo the previous move. The second allows you to undo after a lose_game statement. In this case, Adventuron asks whether you want to rollback.
I'm a little confused by this - these comments suggest the animals talk to you, but I've tried TALK TO [ANIMAL] and generally get a response indicating that I've been largely ignored! I'd also tried giving the gems to the scorpion (Jewelled scorpion? Worth a try...) to no avail.
Might also be worth pointing out that the readme suggests typing 'HELP' will give some hints about verbs, but this doesn't work - at least on the Next version.
