My first TF text game is now released!
a year ago
General
If you hadn't seen yet, my first game, TF Tag, is out now! It's a free inanimate TF text adventure inspired by
BlueBalls's awesome games, where you run around campus looking for your target to transform them while also avoiding being caught and TFed yourself!
I hope you can check it out and give it a whirl. It's free and there's no download required - it plays in-browser on both desktop and mobile! If you liked the game, let me know what your favorite ending was!
Some little game dev fun facts:
- Written in Twine SugarCube, the same engine BlueBalls uses; he had a great set of tutorials on his site that really helped with learning how to use it!
- There are 26 different endings (1 for each location + 4 main endings)
- I wrote over 13,000 words for the endings (not counting words for outside the endings like location descriptions etc)
- There are a number of special secret characters whom you might receive as a target, including maybe a certain capybara!
- There are also a few unique dialogues that can happen if very specific circumstances are achieved, things that I expect only one or two people will ever see but are still fun little rewards if they do
- I made the whole game in less than two insane hyperfocused weeks
-
Medkit helped me out with bug testing and feedback, so big ups to him!
- I just updated the game to v.1.1.0 and added an Endings Gallery so you can view again the endings that you've unlocked! Working to add an Endless/Survival mode soon!
- The idea for the game was based on a game we played annually in high school called Deer Tag, where each student was given a clothespin and the name of another student, and the goal was to find that student and stick the clothespin on them without them noticing. Then they'd be out of the game and you'd get the name of their target and continue on, until there was only one winner. Thought it might be fun to apply this to an inanimate TF theme hehe
Edit: v1.2.0 has been uploaded, and Endless Mode is now available! The 12hr time limit has been removed in this mode, so see if you can survive long enough to catch 50 targets and receive a very special new ending!
