What do you currently play "House of Hellish Harlots" on?
🕑 Added 2023-07-11 13:25:59 +0000 UTCFrom the recent posts, you'll see that I've been doing some experimentation with improving the look of HoHH.
I've been pleasantly surprised with how much you can actually do once you figure out how Twine works. This is still going to primarily be an interactive fiction game, but I'd like to give it a layout and enough art so that it at least resembles a regular game.
This does mean I'll have to start thinking about cross-device compatibility.
As ugly as the default Sugarcube layout is, it does have the advantage of seemingly being able to run everywhere. I'd like to continue that. Prettying HoHH up so it looks good for a specific desktop screen width doesn't achieve much if half of you can no longer play it on your smartphone.
So, this is just to give an idea of what people are using.
(I'm currently developing and testing on a laptop and using Google Chrome as the browser. I'm not very savvy on current smartphones, although I do now have an ancient android phone I can do some testing on.)

It's been developing nicely, although a lot more writing than I initially planned! Layout and art still need a lot of work and experimentation. It's a lot better than I initially thought - which was I would be able to have any art at all.

Slowly getting there. :D The display is more responsive, but very crude.

Hi, so you can use chrome's devtools to kinda simulate the page behavior in different dimensions devices. With the devtool you can see the html and styles. In top left corner of the devtools window there should be a button called "toggle device toolbar" that allows you to change page container dimensions. GLHF
