I want to discuss the guide dialog, particularly the part about the game and why we are doing that.
Since you 1R2 (and also Huk) got involved, we should make the text like that you agree with that.
Change to what I included in latest shared working build: A small text change and moving "why" to subquestion and extend as it already hit the text window size.
Default state:
Welcome on Cyana Islands!
I'm <npc>! I work as a guide. How can I help you?
a) What is this game? -> state whatsthis
b) What can I configure or customize? -> state config
c) Where can I get updates? -> state updates
d) Can I join the team? -> state join
e) Are there any other projects? -> state other
f) Would you enjoy some fun together? -> state noway
state whatsthis:
High Tail Hall was originally created by Crowchild.
This is the third (?) iteration of the game. As always, he left this game unfinished and restarted it from scratch.
After an year of no update on this game, Tabby created downloadable version in Dec 2018 and started improving the game with help of OneBigLotus and another anonymous user. We’ve spent a lot of time finishing and enabling hidden unfinished content, fixing a seemingly endless list of bugs and adding new features.
a) Wait, isn't this illegal? -> state legal
b) Why? -> state why
c) Who the fu*k is Tabby? -> state tabby
d) I have another question. -> back
state why:
It started with intention to let fans enjoy the game without keeping paying Crow while receiving no updates anymore. Now we want make this game what it could be if Crow had a determination to finish things.
Also it's quite enjoyable to do this. And finally, it is our hearty contribution to this awesome degenerate fraternity.
state legal
In the developer’s defense, Crow has stated in the past that he is fine with modified versions of his game provided we give him credit and do not profit from any unofficial builds. Moreover, most of the world doesn’t give a fu*k about copyright. If you live in the USA, you can still avoid Internet surveillance by using Tor and/or a trustworthy VPN.
a) About the game again. -> state whatsthis
b) I have another question. -> state back
state tabby
Tabby the notorious HTH pirate is a por*n addicted degenerate pervert.
Tabby is a single purpose idiot who can do engineering but can't draw for sh*t.
There is little known about him (or her?).
a) About the game again. -> state whatsthis
b) I have another question. -> state back
(note: don't take everything too seriously :-) specially not yourself.)
state config
You can customize some basic things in hth_config.xml file, like enable/disable sprite pregnancy, glasses, if you don’t like these. You can define your own music playlist.
You can change dialog tree for any character defined in xml files in data/dialog folder.
If you want to do advanced stuff, you can edit/decompile swf files to modify/add a character or sex scene. The game scripts were substantially upgraded so you can add new sex scene or a character far more easily.
a) I have another question. -> state back
state updates
Public releases are usually uploaded to yiff.party board in HTHstudios folder in shared files.
Notifications and links are provided at u18chan.com/a in High Tail Hall Offline thread.
This may change if u18chan.com improves their anti-VPN and anti-Tor measures because no sane person posts such stuff unprotected by strong anti-surveillance tools.
a) I have another question. -> state back
state join
We would be happy if you do. This project is based on volunteers contributing their work to improve this game.
If you can write a dialog tree for some character, draw, modify/improve/add animation, do voice acting or just get some long lost HTH art or anything useful, your even little help will be appreciated.
a) Where I can join the team? -> state join2
b) I have another question. -> state back
state join2

a) I have another question. -> state back
state other
As of 2019, the only other project of Tabby’s team is a downloadable edition of ~2012 High Tail Hall beta. There might be more stuff available eventually.
a) I have another question. -> state back
