Spankers and Spankees,

So as expected people were having issues downloading the torrents. That seems to have been fixed though. Mostly, I stink at choosing trackers.

Unfortunately, there was some confusion with the first scene. Basically, the trigger for the first event was poorly done (you’re not supposed to talk to the guard. You’re supposed to try to go Avaricum Square immediately. However, things get a little bit buggy if you try talking to the guard first). I’ve modified a few things to fix that bug. You can find the updated Ubuntu binaries under downloads.

Unfortunately, my Windows 7 OS decided that today was a good day to die, and I no longer have a Windows box, and I won’t have one until I can get my hands on some install disks (which may take a few days at best). As a result I will be unable to create new binaries for Windows 7 for the immediate future.

Finally, firefox has recently started complaining about dropbox.com/meta_dl (the subpage from which people can download other people’s files) being an attack page!. So, I’ve had to move the torrents to a mediafire link.

So very sorry about all the craziness. Please try to hang in there as I work out the kinks to this whole “sharing stuff with other people over the Internet” thing.

EDIT: Fixed a bug that causes the game to crash immediately if the player names their character anything but the default.

Spankers and Spankees,

Welcome to the spanking rpgs blog. My name (as far as you’re concerned) is Aka Russell, and this here is the first post on my brand new development blog of CRPGs with a strong old-school dungeon-crawling flare, a butt-ton of spankings, crude wire-frame graphics, and WAY too much text.

If you look above this here first post, you will see a bunch of tabs. “About” tells you a little bit about my game, “Download” tells you how to download my games (it is alas a bit more complicated than downloading from mediafire, because I don’t trust filehosting services like that). “Bugs” contains a list of known bugs and how likely it is that I’ll fix them. “Other Spanking Games” is where I keep a list and brief description of other games with a significant amount of spanking content that I’ve stumbled upon during my many hours on the web.

Currently, the first episode of Pandemonium Cycle: The Potion Wars (PCPW) is up for download. It is written in Pygame, is a text-based game with wire-frame graphics for the dungeons, and has music purchased from playonloop.com. The game itself will be broken up into episodes. Each episode consists of a beginning, in which the player can interact with various members of the supporting cast, a middle, in which the player explores a dungeon and explores the main plot of that episode, and an end, which is similar to the beginning except we tie up (or at least develop a bit more) various loose threads from the beginning and middle.

Included in the download is a README that contains the seed of a proper manual. I will be writing a proper manual at some point in the near future, hopefully this weekend, which I’ll post along with the game’s source code (horribly written though it may be).

If you have any comments or criticisms please either comment on this blog, or send me an e-mail at:

sprpgs+PWStory@gmail.com – for any comments or criticisms of the writing and story

sprpgs+PWGameplay@gmail.com – for any comments or criticisms of the gameplay

sprpgs+PWBugs@gmail.com – for any bug reports or crashes

sprpgs@gmail.com – for anything that doesn’t fall under one of the above categories.

Criticism is welcome, however if you insult me, your e-mail will go unread into the trash (you are however free to insult the game. Just not me.). Furthermore, I ask that you provide useful information. Saying “This game sucks” tells me nothing except you didn’t like it. Saying “The spell Spectral Breakage renders every other combat choice redundant” actually tells me what the problem is. Even better if you have possible solutions to any problems you see.

One last thing: The game starts with an opening crawl that will automatically scroll through. You can skip it with the Enter key if you like, but it does provide valuable background information.

I hope you guys enjoy your time here, and enjoy Pandemonium Cycle: The Potion Wars.
