Frequently Asked Questions


Q. What the hell takes you so long to develop this game?
A. I have a job, a partner, a social life, and a competitive video gaming team.  It's a miracle I have any spare time to develop this game!  I currently make sacrifices in some of the above to accommodate my desire to keep going with this project.

Q. I'm an experienced coder, do you want some help?
A. The code is not currently in a state where more than one person can work on it. I break the code too often myself as it is, and if two or more people worked on it simultaneously all hell would break lose.  I am considering spending a few months after finishing release 6 to make the code more uniform, modular and adding lots more comments.  At that point I might make a small coding team.

Q. I think the game needs way more focus on X and less time spent on Y.
A. That's cool, but others disagree, including myself.  Feel free to make your own game which focuses on X, Inform is a pretty easy platform to learn.

Q. I think the game needs way more focus on the flavour and descriptions of sex and less time spent on the gameplay mechanics.
The mission statement of this game is to have interesting gameplay and lots of randomised outcomes which will give the game replayability.  I understand you guys love the flavour, but my main issue with lots of other adult text based games is that there was not enough time spent on designing a good gameplay system or considering replayability, and you're left with some (very hot) cutscenes that get boring after you've read each one twice.  And then there's nothing else to do but grind.

Q. Are you going to put pictures in for X body part?
A. Yes, probably, eventually.

Q. You never responded to my email!  Not cool.
A. I do apologise I am absolutely awful at meaning to reply to emails and forgetting about it.  I'm slowly getting better but am still not perfect.  Feel free to poke me after a few days if I've failed to get back to you.  Either that or you probably sent me a donation without giving me your contact details, and I have no way to get in contact with you.

Q. You should include cheat commands so that those of us who want to turn the game into a sandbox game can.
A. No.  There are loads of adult sandbox games out there, the brilliant writing in which makes the flavour in mine feel like pornography grade acting.  There are no adult text based games I know of with a focus on a genuine challenge with a "losing is fun" mentality, and I will continue to resist any and all attempts to change the style of gameplay away from that.  We here at Nintendolls demand that you play the game by our rules or not at all!

Q. What happened to the load game feature?
A. It was bugging for lots of people so I removed it.  To load the game, use the "quick start" option then type "restore".

Q. Why can't I massage my breasts any more?
A. It was a skill you learned from the gladiator which was changed to titfuck.  It may return in the future, who knows. 

Q. How do I enable the drawn character window?
A. Assuming you have the donators version with undo enabled, you need to change the "Player Image On Side" option from ON to DRAWN.

  5. This is the most amazing thing I have found for ages and I really want to make my own version of this, once I can bring myself to put the game down

  6. What language is Trapquest written in?
    My favorite form of porn has been games for a long time and TQ is easily the best one I have ever played, been playing it for probably a year and a half now, and now I'm getting to a point in my life where I'm deciding important things, I'd like to learn the language and make a similar game (not trying to copy, it'd probably be for my personal use anyway).

    <3 you Aika.

    1. Consider heading over to the new website at www.trapquest.com to make sure you're not playing on a version over a year old.

      The answer to your question is the you need Zoom.
