GIFTQUEST.
A downloadable game
This is GIFTQUEST, my first ever game.
GIFTQUEST is a game where you play the role of Kanaya Maryam, trying to find a gift for your wife Rose Lalonde for your anniversary. It has been many, many years since you have settled on Earth C and on your shopping, you chance upon the PNG DISTRICT. There you will meet some old friends... And foes.
Will Rose like your gift? Will Kanaya get laid? All this is up to you in... GIFTQUEST.
Play time: 15-20 minutes.
Endings: 4
Friends: 6
Secrets: Several
This project began as a silly little game in order to learn how to code, but after two lovely artists offered to make some assets for the game, it became something more significant to me.
Character art by Pavizi and Hal9000Fanboy. Banner art by SunnyDionysus. Music, code, backgrounds, and story by Funk McLovin.

This is unsupported, but if you use Steam on Mac, use the "add non-steam game to library" function and select "compatibility." Check the box "force the use of a compatability tool" and select "Proton 9.0-4"
==VERSION HISTORY==
2/14/24 : Version 1.0 is live for Windows. Windows version has been tested up to each ending. Since this is not a serious commercial product and I'm new at this (and also I'm stupid), I have not extensively tested the game. Comment any bugs below or send them to funkmclovinmusic@gmail.com. A Mac version is planned for a future date, I just don't have a Mac machine. Lol.
2/15/24: Version 1.2 is live for Windows. I have given up on a Mac version and have optimized the game for Android emulators. I'm currently working on a Linux and HTML5 version, the latter of which will run on Mac.
1.1 FIXES:
-Fixed certain items' collision, preventing softlocks.
-Fixed certain items' persistence, preventing wrong items in wrong rooms.
-Added a "controls" section to the documentation.
-Fixed some hitboxes for rooms that could be escaped, and hitboxes that could get players stuck.
-Fixed the ending flags to be more consistent.
-Changed "raccoon" to "fur bandit."
-Removed "The Creature."
1.2 FIXES:
-Fixed the "Vriska bug."
==AGE RATING==
Rated M for mature for a sex joke and swear words. Does anyone actually care? Is Giftquest going to appear in a scathing review because I added a couple fucks? At least one moron will probably care, so here's your warning.

Loved this ! Amazing job as always ^u^
Very fun and charming, when voicing it over to myself I clocked in about 3 hours of play for all routes and secrets (I think I 100%'d the game but unsure). 💜 Characterization was true to character and I was left wanting to know more about this version of our stuck at home characters that we both got to see & didn't get to see on screen (such as the mysterious "partner" and Karkat). I know making games and coding is a tremendous task, but I would absolutely love to see more in the future if you have more ideas! ❤️🔥 Music was great too!
1 feedback and some bugs: Would be nice if pressing z was listed somewhere on the start screen (even in tiny text or something, just somewhere in the game or even on this page) as that didn't come very naturally to me and I had to press almost my whole keyboard before finding it. You can also get stuck next to Dave if you talk to him coming from the right which leads to a soft lock if you stay there during when he pulls out his item. In the Rose room you can walk super far out of bounds and have to walk all the way back which could take a while, not sure if the walls not having collision was intentional. There's also an invisible wall outside the chocolate shop if you're walking on just the upper part of the street which seems to be a hitbox issue of some kind. I'll email you a spoiler bug that I found which is reset levels of broken, but not technically a soft lock like Dave's item.
Thank you! Fixed in 1.1 as well as the issue addressed in your email.
Quite charming and funny. I achieved all four endings.
I did encounter a bug by which the interact collider for the chest appeared in Jade's flower shop, making it difficult to speak to her or interact with the gift in that room.
Thank you for the report. I genuinely don't know how that happened, but it's on my 1.1 fix list!
To clarify more: the bug only occurs if the witch crap shop has already been entered
The chest may just have been marked as persistent accidentally. I gather that you are using Gamemaker.
Fixed in 1.1
