New Lone Wolf gamebooks game

[vazkez]

Hello all Kai lords,


My name is Miroslav and I am fullstack (web) software developer.


I created a web application for reading and playing Joe Dever gamebooks.


Features of the application:

• Fully textured with custom graphic pack
• Including separate windows for Inventory / Character sheet / Map and more
• Fully responsive (play on PC tablets or phone)
• No saves needed every action is automatically saved and tracked
• You can have as many saves as you like and continue form book 1 to 25
• Statistics for every save (what pages you visited, how much damage you deal / lost, strongest enemy killed and much more)
• Setting for animated text (looks like someone writing the text in the book), resize the book to your needs and much more.
• Automatically tracks your Endurance / Combat points. Every damage, every bonus / penalty (skills, items, used items etc.)
• Automatically tracks your Backpack / Special items. Such as Items which can be used all the time or before / after combat
• Fully automatic combat. All you need to do is roll (no dice or additional application required)
• And much more …

This application is only in Beta version and currently I am looking for anyone who willing to give the game a spin 😊. No need to ask me it’s free. Just follow the link bellow and play:


www.lonewolfgamebooks.com/


Also please note that only first book is developed right now which took over 3 months to develop. However, rest of the books should take few weeks per book to be developed.


I am currently working on polishing the game as well as adding credits and so on. When all the books will be developed in EN I will look to additional translations.

As mentioned, I currently working on credits and I willing to put username of each of you as Alpha / Beta testers section. Any constrictive feedback (positive or negative) is welcome either send message / debug report trough the application or reply here.

Whenever this application is fully tested (hopefully within week or two) I will start to work on second book right away.


Lastly, I spend x number of hours on this project and for anyone who wonder I did not come here to ask for money. I pay for the server, my coffees and so on … I do this because I love and grew on Lone Wolf gamebooks, fantasy games, books, articles, and live events in general.


Kind regards

Miroslav (Vazkez)

EDIT:

    Thank you to Zapp212 for dicovering a bug on section 255   
    Congratulation to Tycho (whoever you are) as you completed the first book as first and in one go

Very cool, but you posted this in the wrong place. We have a dedicated section on these forums for Playing Aid Software, I trust the mods will move this thread there once they notice it.

More importantly, did you get the okay from the copyright holders before doing this, even if it is free? Check out PA's FAQ about this: www.projectaon.org/en/Main/FAQ#faq20

Hmmm not right now.

I mean I asked but did not get reply yet. 

To be honest I am counting on to get the rights ... If not well I will need to put the server down but I will still continue to develop it as project I love

Hello,

Glad that you like it.

Yeah I know what you mean.

I started this project back in Uni 7 years ago and never find the time to finish it ...

When I started to work from home due to epidemic I finally find the time to finish it.

The design functionality and everything changed many times but I am very happy that guys like it now.

I still play LW gamebooks in train and just got mad that I need to have separate spreadsheet to keep track of everything and roll dice application

Please check out the Lone Wolf Saga + Lone Wolf New Order apps on Android/iOS. They will handle all the gameplay elements for you.

Also Seventh Sense if you can use a laptop on the train. That one has a robust achievement system, which I adore, but it is PC-only and unfinished.

Hello all,

Unfortunately Holmgard press decided not to give me the rights to use Mr Joe Dever data.

Sooooooo unfortunately they asked me to shut the server down. And I will do so first thing tomorrow.

I would like to give a big thanks to all of you who sent me email with such a kind words.
I received over 50 emails in couple of days with lots of feedback and nice words.

I will however continue to develop this game but unfortunately if nothing change I will be the only one who plays it ...

Thank you all again

Kind regards
Miroslav

At least, you've tried! Good luck for your next projects. But you know you can stay around if you want to talk about all things related to LW!

Have you considered replying to Holmgard Press and offering it to THEM?
Eg you get all the credit, everyone can use it, Holmgard Press gets to keep control of it for copyright reasons etc.
