Gynoid Conversion, an interactive fiction game

[Optia]

Very nice story, and excellent game. If I weren't so depressed right now, I'd be overjoyed after reading it.

[NukuNookee]

Glad to see you enjoyed the story and game, hopefully life will treat you better so you will be able to enjoy it more.

[Optia]

Thanks, Nuku.

I still don't understand the concept, though. I mean, what's the main character (I forget her name)'s plan once she's turned everyone on earth into gynoids? Is she just going to have them live like normal, or are they going to restructure society into something like the Borg, with her as the queen?

[NukuNookee]

Adria's plan seems to be to make everyone equal... all gynoids. I'm sure the resulting society would be very different, but I don't think she plans on becoming a Borg queen, with everyone losing their individuality.

Borias wrote something about free-will in his story Darwin Gaiden:

"Gynoids have free will as well. Just because we are machines does not mean we aren't people. Each of us has our own wants and desires and ambitions. All that has been taken from us is the dark side of humanity; the jealousy, the hatred, the spite, the blind urge to destroy. All we know is love and happiness. It would be cruel not to share our gift with every individual on the planet. I love all of my sisters. I love my creator, who remade me in her image. I love my Nina. And today, when I found out you were dying, I realized how I felt about you."

[Optia]

Well, that's nice to hear. At least Adria isn't trying to become ruler of the world.

[NukuNookee]

Version 37 beta of Gynoid Conversion is done, after a year of slow development. It may be a while before I get back to Gynoid conversion, going to concentrate on The Lust Wars and some Inform engine development before I return to this. I do have two ideas for new regions though... inspired by Lenny and Borias' stories in part.

I'm aware that the furry TFs may not be everyone's cup of tea, but this is very playable without encountering them, they're completely optional.

Basic story: Gynoids(fembots) manufactured by the Fei Robotics corporation have decided the best way to help mankind through the next step of evolution... is to make them into Gynoids!

Based on the story Darwin Accelerated by Leighton White (Imperator Zor). Available here: http://gynoid.game-host.org/Gynoid.html

Graphics by Imperator Zor, http://imperator-zor.deviantart.com , Graphics edited by NukuNookee (Harry Gates.)

Transformation engine based on the Infection v011 code by Shrimpy. Code contributions from Shadowaura, anthro TFs by Nuku Valente and Cloakable.


Includes Dirtwater region extension (Dirtwater.i7x, version 1/30/2010) by Shadow Aura. NOTE: This is an alpha region, and may have some bugs. It's playable and fun. It's been expanded, with more story / plot to explore since the last beta release.

NOTE: Gynoid Conversion has now been reworked to allow coding of region extensions to extend the game. Additional regions / add ons to the game are welcome, and do NOT have to be Gynoid related.

NOTE: Color names have changed slightly, so if you get a "Undefined reference looking up entry in table XX" error every turn after you fully become a gynoid, try re-selecting and saving your colors using "set colors".


New in version 37 beta since version 36 beta:

Added Herm Otter TF and new corruption method for Gynoid factory.
Various bug fixes and enhancements to TF engine and objects, including herm support.
AI enhancements for speed, NPCs take alternating even/odd turns.
Added boot/glove dispenser and multi-color support for boots/gloves.
Updated sex commands, fixing bugs and adding some variety.
Added red indicators to compass rose to show target direction while Gynoid controlled.

This release is developed on Inform 7 6G60.

Have to say I check any new revision of your game. Appreciate it
Don't get my own game further so far, sadly.

[gynoneko]

I'm going to give this a try... but I have a question.
When starting off, it asks me a bunch of stuff like gender, name, etc. So what does mean when it says "Would you like your Gynoid AI Controlled sex to be on or off"?
Same with the "monster" one....

[darkbutflashy]

I usually stick to the options given there. If it questions "on or off", just answer "on" or "off". It has some subtle effects on gameplay. IIRC, you don't have to do that setting everytime you play, the game remembers it.

EDIT: Now I've read the relevant source code parts, my mind is shaking. Basically, that switch controls if a gynoid may decide by itself to have sex with a random person in the room. Complicated stuff. No comments in the source. The horror, the horror!

[NukuNookee]

Yup... basically there to allow people to turn off the AI initiated sex, as some find it annoying.

Hmm, now that infections can be spread by sex (with partially TF'd people), maybe I should have them initiate sex when partially TF'd. Right now, they just spread the infection until they're fully TF'd before having sex....

I've found Inform to be pretty easy to read, so I don't comment it much. Probably a bad habit to be in...

The gender, name, etc. is so that the player character will be personalized for you. It asks if you want to save settings for next time, or you can enter them every time. You can also save your color preferences, the save commands are detailed in the "help" menus. Default is to randomize the colors every time. Items like the boots / gloves can change your colors for that play through, but don't affect your saved settings.

Easy/hard gameplay mainly affects how quickly the gynoids respond to your attacks, and how many of them respond from the factory. It is pretty challenging with the "sleeper" gynoids (those wearing human replication suits) to kill all the gynoids before the invasion starts. Sometimes the player will start the game as a sleeper (it's random). There are a couple ways to detect sleepers, one requiring an item to use on them, the other by observation.

Oh, for fun there are "cheat" (gives you everything in the game) and "stage" (puts random amounts of boots/gloves around the main roads, and in the national guard armory, remove the weapons/armor from the guard). Be sure to use "cheat" before "stage", as "cheat" picks up everything loose, including the staged boots/gloves!

If you "stage" and then inject someone next to a pile of boots / gloves, you can start a chain reaction of people wearing infected items as they panic around town... what fun.

The Dirtwater region is another fun game, as a hidden gynoid you're sent to take over an area where the humans successfully repelled the gynoid invasion. There are some story lines / subplots that can help or hinder you as you go along.

[darkbutflashy]

I've found Inform to be pretty easy to read, so I don't comment it much. Probably a bad habit to be in...

I did it like that years ago. Then I've started writing "what's that decision/loop good for" comments everywhere and I still like it. It's so much easier to review and refactor the code later on.

[Sophisa]

I downloaded this and gave it a go, it's great fun! Been playing it a lot today since my planned project for the afternoon got rained out ><

Can't wait to see where you go with it!

Glad you're enjoying it. I should finish the 038 beta release soon (though I've been saying that for about 8 months....) If you're not playing the latest 038 alpha release, you should check it out, there are a lot of graphics and gameplay improvements.

[Sophisa]

I'll have a look

[NukuNookee]

Here's the latest update of Gynoid Conversion, just about ready for the 038 beta release. This release has a lot of improvements to the graphics engine, and a lot of gameplay tweaks. The Dirtwater region has quite a few new features since the 037 beta as well.

I've finally finished updating the documentation, and added a few commands for fun as well. This is release candidate five, ready for the 038 beta release barring any bugs, which will be the last release for some time as I work on Harry's Household Robot Repair, my new game.

This release adds the "give in" command to let your infection take over, and updates the documentation and help system for the changes since the last beta release.

Includes Dirtwater region extension (Dirtwater.i7x, version 4/02/2013) by Shadow Aura. NOTE: This is an alpha update of the region, and may have some bugs. It's playable and fun.

NOTE: This release was developed on Inform 7 6G60, and REQUIRES A MINIMUM OF INFORM 7 6F95! It is will NOT build on the latest, Inform 7 6L02! Some extensions have been updated, be sure you are using the latest version of the extensions, included in the .rar file.

The below file locations will remain the same through the rev038 alpha release cycle.

[CyborgWolf]

Ah I remember this game. Good to see it's still seeing some love Will be trying out the new version soon, it's been a while and it is time for some fun

[Brytestar]

I can't find pics of the game.

[NukuNookee]

I can't find pics of the game.

I hadn't posted screenshots, so here's some of the latest version:











In this test, I'd colored the player to match the Gynoid being watched, Cynthia, the salesbot at the Fei Robotics Showroom.

I have the last of the pre-beta release bugs ironed out, I should package it up and release 038 beta.

[NukuNookee]

Version 38 beta of Gynoid Conversion is done, after a couple years of ongoing development. Further development of scenarios from this game will be part of my next game, "Harry's Household Robot Repair"

[Access=-i]

Hey there just wanted to post and thank you for all the hard work on this over the years. But there is a bug and a question which have been bugging me and I figured Id report it back since I have yet to find a resolution since Alpha 36 or so.

First the minor bug. In the Dirtwater expanision Fei Robotics Lab the second room with the shattered tank has an icon indicating an option to go up. However there is no staircase in the room description. The next room to the North however containing the locker has a description of a roof access ladder or stairway but no way to actually go up in that room.

Second the question. Also in Dirtwater, are you actually able to get on the roof of the hotel or radio station without cheating via teleport? Because access seems blocked via the stairwells, and that makes a certain game outcome seemingly impossible to avoid. So I'd like a hint please and to know if I am wasting my time looking for something I will not find. Thanks.

You can get on the roof of the radio station, just go up in the stairwell on the 4th floor.

Yes, there's a problem with the stairs being in the break room instead of the service room at Fei robotics, I'll fix it in the next release (there will be an 049 alpha/beta cycle to fix release bugs, possibly to add a little more content to Dirtwater.)
