A downloadable culinary parable

OK HERE WE Are

once again on quite a happy occasion indeed for the GTP community where we are celebrating the release of the second GTP game "Having Company" which I have been working on for Novemver 2023 thanksgiving release but better late than never as my dear aunt Camilla would have said after her '93 championship win at Best Bolognese Bolindale in Bolindale, Ohio. 

If you are unacquainted with GuideThePlayer well then my name is Ray Frank and it is a pleasure to meet you I am an Expert Level Designer with many years experience and respect in the LD community both designing levels and teaching the younger generations how to exceed in this industry of ours. I am also more recently an award winning Chef and have pivoted most recently to culinary tips and "evangelizing" cooking best practives and here we are at another entry into GTP game series this time we will be focusing on the kitchen as you may have guessed it.  If you ARE acquainted with GuideThePlayer then hello good to see you again.

This game toucheson on and educates across many verticals including:

  • Efficient cookery for the busy parent
  • How to prepare fish filets 
  • Seasoning tips
  • Non violent techniques for removing rodents 
  • Killing 2 birds (fish) with 1 stone (fishing rod) 
  •  (no actual killing involved however) 
  • No wildlife have been harmed thus far in the game please do your best to keep it that way
  • how to safely fall a tree
  • Harnessing your allergies to achieve ones goals especially if that goal is climbing a Mountain
  • Tips for hosing a a larger dinner partty than you are used to hosting

TIPS FOR GAME PLAY:

  • watch out for drowning during introduction I did my best to prevent that but not everything in this life is preventable such as earthquakes as far as we know
  • Do not touch anything more than twice , play it safe
  • Please follow all posted instructions in the game
  • do not try to access any closed off areas 
  • If you decide to make risotto please ensure you stir it FREQUENTLY  
  • Be wary of doing too many favors for folks try to stick to the critical path as it were

RUNNING TIME

THIS GAME WILL TAKE PERHAPS 1 TO 2 HOURS TO COMPLETE, as such I recomend these beverages in order of preference:

  •  espresso (if playing before 11am)
  •  drip coffee or Americano if palying between 8am and 1pm
  • Any time after 1pm but before 9pm:  Match latte OR iced coffee, or gingerale 
  • AFTER 9pm you should be drinking peppermint tea, wine is okay if you are out of tha

STUCK?

I willl be hosting a town hall style tips and tricks meeting in attic area of my house within said video game July 20th reach out if you would like to attend this multiplayer session friends https://twitter.com/GuideThePlayer

PREREQOUISITES

As a a REMIINDER to players: this is a mod aka modification for the QuAKE 2 RERELEASE which you must own okay

the rerelease is created by nightdive. I repeat the remaster created by nightdive is required.

You must have the nightdive remaster installed which you can get on Steam or GOG got it? You can get quake 2 for $4 currently here :

https://www.humblebundle.com/store/agecheck/quake-ii

or here also

https://www.gog.com/game/quake_ii_quad_damage

If you do not use the rerelease by nightdive then you cannot experience this adventure and what a shame that would be and please remember nightdive are great folks you and i both know that.

INSTALLATION

After you have downLoaded the zip file you will extract it to the "/steamapps/common/Quake 2/rerelease/" folder if you are using Steam or if you are using the GOG version then the equivalent path I do not know what it is but it will end in "quake 2/rerelease/" of that I can assure you.

to discover the folder in Steam with calmness and tranquility please go to your Quake 2 game in your steam library and right click it and select Manage > browse local files

once you have installed it correctly your folder should look like following:

Quake 2 > rerelease > dinnertime

please bake sure to NOT put this mod into the baseq2 folder common mistake.

LAUNCHING

within the dinnertime folder there is a file called having_company_windows.bat, you can double click this if you are on Windows and thus your culinary journey begins.

if you are on Linux well then you may add these to your launch options in quake 2 in your steam librarey:

Right click quake 2 in your lib > under 'advanced options' enter:

 +game dinnertime +exec default.cfg +map hc

ok let me know if you have any  troubles
