This is a very short visual novel based on a cartoon series I watched a long time ago.
It can be played on Windows, MAC, and Linux systems using any web browser that supports HTML 5 format (converted using techniques described by kexter.
Download the zip file, uncompress it using your favorite file cpmpressor program, and open the index.html file in the web browser of your choice.

Story: Vel and Shag are driving back to their hometown when the check engine on the van comes on. As it is late and no auto repir shop would be open they decide to get separate rooms at a creepy looking hotel.

Playing time is about 15 minutes.

Thank you for reading it and commenting. [img]images/icones/icon14.gif[/img]

As I've said previously, the only 'payment' I get for making visual novels are comments made and counting number of downloads.

I just played this and it's really cute. Serious nostalgia for me. I always liked the smart one (Velma) more than the pretty one (Daphne). I thought your modelling for Shaggy was good. Velma was a bit off, but I think you probably did that intentionally to make her more sexy. Not sure that was necessary, but I won't second guess your call there.

I think the text needed a lot more uses of the word "Jinkies." (-: I also wished they called it "The Mystery Machine" instead of "The Van." But I understand that you've got to make sense to people who don't understand the references.

The one substantive bit of feedback I can give is that earlier in the game when you had multiple choices you could try them both. That made me assume that when I got to the main sex scene with 4 or 5 choices I'd get to try them all. When it didn't, I had to decide whether to play the entire game over again to put a save there and see the others. I suggest a quick message on that page that says "You might want to save the game now" or some equivalent.

Thank you for playing and providing feedback. I appreciate both.
Vel was difficult to model, I wanted to get her close to the 'classic' look, but not too close. I tried to do the same for Shag. I didn't want to over-use "Jinkies" or "Zoinks".
I'd rather not put in a "Save the game now" message on that page. However, it should not be difficult to put a 'Go back to main sex scene' button on the "The End" page.
I'll post an update when I make that change.

Very respectfully,
fleet

If you decide later to add another character, you could probably recolor this: https://www.cgbytes.com/store/sku/57926 ... oser-8-Dog

At this point I don't plan to add that particular character to this story.
I don't have the poser8 Dog [img]images/icones/icon11.gif[/img], but I do have the DAZ Millennium Dog LE, which I can recolor if I make a newr story using the characters from this.

Very respectfully,

Yeah, a "Go back to the main sex scene" button at the end would work equally well.

If you do more with these characters, make sure you do a chase scene with them coming and going from various doors on a hallway. And bang on a xylophone to make the run sound. Damn, I miss Scooby Doo.

"Shaggy, would you take off your clothes for a Scooby snack?"

I made the "go back button" change suggested by tlaero.

The link to the download host site is in the first post.


Very respectfully,

And I'll do just about anything for two Scooby Snacks..
