Did you just add the seagull picture and vitrola for Malia??
.
.

What is vitrola? In Engish I can think of vitriol (acid) or Victrola (old wind-up record player) - or does it just exist and doesn't matter 'cause it's just there for fun?
PS - your game is fun, but definitely tricky finding the correct verbs and syntax - it seems multiple verbs often work - for example, I used a different one to remove the chip.
Thanks again Rael.

The painting of the seagulls and the vitrola were already in the original design (sorry Malia )
The vitrola is definitely not just for fun. Actually, it's there to bother you Yes, it's a record-player but I used the word "vitrola" because it seems is the most widely used. But, if too much people asks, I guess I'll change the word for "victrola" in the 2nd. release
The 2nd. release will address problems found with verbs and syntax and will add more dialogue with the humanoid

Agustin:
I think this will be of interest to you. I tried the "instructions" to remove the chip and the following happened. It did not worked at all in the savegame where I tried all the orders that I told you in the other post. when typing "humanoid, take chip" the inmutable answer was "spit up". So, I restarted the game from scratch and then everything went ok: the humanoid did the job and the story went on. I was very surprised so I tried again with the former savegame but the "problem" always appeared. I don't know if this is a bug or a problem of Inform when restoring savegames. Anyway, after starting a new game I am now in the hut... and have to say that very impressed for the decoration....

Until the second release, due in a few days, you should do all the talking with the humanoid in the Field. One thing in particular won't work in the Clearing. Thanks Ricardo!

Thanks Howard I'm currently polishing the game and it's taking much much more than I though - and this is a short text-adventure! I truly admire your work. 600 rooms is no small deal. I'll let you all know when the game is done (crossing my fingers for this weekend!).
I'll be on the lookout for your work when it's all done. As for First Light, it's 300 rooms.. not 600! You probably meant the number of objects which is well over 600...

Ah yes, those were the number of objects Still, 300 rooms is a very impressive number! About how much time did you spent working on First Light?

Well, where are the socks supposed to be? There's that pile of clothes... but the vitrola is on the way.

| Deleted User | Now, there is no pyjamas on the pile, there is a sock ??? (same saved game)
Another error occured because Stooge asked me again to come in his place (in the hut)...
It's tough man! ...but I will survive!

The sock isn't an error - you're doing something to the pile that shows the sock...

| Deleted User | Ok, it's really embarassing: I'm stuck good!
I lift the freakin vitrola.
I cannot put it anywhere but back on the pile.
When it's lifted I see the sock on the pile with the chip and it's written Nice (or Stooge say nice). I don't have a clue where the pyjamas is now .
Your game is fun so far, but I'm not used to the usual "behave" in an IF at all. Result: I now have an irrepressible desire to kill Stooge with a hot firepoker.

OK, forget about the pyjamas Focus on the sock. You must get the sock. Your arms are busy. Stooge won't help you. There's only one thing you can do... and it's pretty nasty!

Help please with another hint. I'm sure this is much easier for folks who are used to IF grammer and syntax.
