The 0.7 update is now online: what's new ?

"I wanna steal your wife" is a MMO-Puzzle game and like in every MMO I have to deal with cheaters,
that's why this new update contains a new anti cheat system !

Multiplayers means interactions between players:
now you will be able to send a message to the owner of the house you are visiting : get ready to taunt !

But that's not the only novelty:
until now you were not able to see the replay of a player when this one escaped your house.
Now you will be able to watch every replay: you will totally understand the weakness of your traps !

At last, but not least there's now 4 different types of wives : catch them all !

The game now contains more than 80 different puzzles with an infinite number of resolutions.
Come and join more than 140 players ( and wives wink )

" I disagree that the lack of a legalistic royalty structure is good for gamers"
Without this it would be the death of indie games because almost every game is like another existing game and you will have to charge some lawyer to prove it's not etc...

I think, as it will most likely stay free, the most I can do is to credit Jason in the game wink

Yeah I really wanted a game which can be played by everyone, cause I want the maximum people to feel what I felt during my first 2 weeks of Castle Doctrine.

"Make sure to pay royalties to Rohrer if you monetize this project, on a matter of conscience if nothing else."
There's no royalties about game design in video game, luckily for the players !
By the way, I do the game for the fun after my work ; I don't really know how I will monetize it and I'm sure it won't cover my spending ( servers, middlewares etc...).
My priority is to get as much players as possible.
(  I spent 3 years working on that game and no one is playing it : http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f … d=93510513 you can understand why it is my priority wink)

"that good simple mechanics are often more fun and effective than lots of cool stuff"
I totally agree with that, and that's why I removed a lot of objects of the castle doctrine.
I'm adding some others to test it, to change a bit the meta game, if they are not interesting enough I will remove them.

One more time : thank you, I must admit I agree with you on every points but there's some things I can't really do as I want because I already spent too much time in the project. ( 5 months, 2 hours / day after the work is a lot wink )

Hey thank for your feedback !
It's the first time I heard about the interface : what's the problem exactly ? Too many interfaces ? Too much loading black screens ?
If you fast type on the arrows the movement are as fast as you can, but it's always dangerous in this game wink
You are right, I will add WASD.
Ahah I'm not a graphist so I ll have to keep the style with which I'm the most comfortable.

Yeah for the tutorial I understand, but it's the only way to prevent players from creating 20 accounts each.
But if you know the game it won't take you more than 2 minutes with the skipping text button ( trust me I did the tutorial more than 100 times to create it hmm )

Feel free to share everything I really need these feedback !

A big new patch is up : 0.6 !

A lot of gameplay's modification :

- Now it's impossible to totally avoid your wives from being captured : when you have enough diamonds to get a wife, the vault will be replaced by a wife !

- New tool: door blocker : It will prevent powered door from closing.

- New trap : the simple switch : Something must be on it to activate it.

- New trap : the steak :give a steak to the player who will be able to use it : a nice way to drag a red herring !

Enjoy wink

"If you don't have the diamonds, you have no choice but to enter your house to reset the list."
In fact you just don't have enough diamonds to capture the wife but you can get the vault !
I'll try to describe this better in the game.

@Frosty : There will be a MAC version one day I hope, but for the moment I stay focused on the windows version for the beta !

@AMWhy : Thank you for your test : your house was really fun to solve !
I made a lot of mistakes in english I'm so confused so please excuse me : I'm french and I ll try to find some english speaking friends.
I'll work on the replays, it's really boring to watch when you have to click every step and when they didnt work everytime.

"Third, the game feels very limited without an inverted voltage triggered switch. "
I'll add a lot of contents ( a cannon which destroys walls soon ) and I really don't want something too complicated with electricity ( and I really don't want any combo lock , neither blind magic dance )

"Fourth, I can only see three houses at a time."
It's intentional, to force you to try those houses, why did you want to skip some houses ?

"Fifth, you can see diagonally between walls - is this intentional?"
It is, you feel something weird with that ?

If you have any suggestion feel free to share everything !

I've seen your puzzles and I think I will add the possibility to share community puzzles !

Hello everyone,
after 4 months of work I ll post the first version of my personnal remake of The Castle Doctrine :
"I Wanna Steal Your Wife"

The game is about stealing wifes of others players wink
The game is totally nooby friendly with tutorials.
The game is more puzzle oriented with a limit of tools you can buy and a limit of price for your house.


The game is in beta stage but more and more traps will appear.
( such as cannon, zombies or teleporter ! )

You can play the game here :

Main page of the game is here :

I totally agree with you,
that's why I'm making a remake with tutorials :

Web : http://jean.esteves.free.fr/IWSYW/Build7/Build.html
Windows : http://dl.free.fr/nWnyMuzbc
Linux : http://dl.free.fr/r11KpOs3f

I'll open a dedicated thread in about 2 weeks : the core of the game will be about stealing the wife of others players : I wait to implement it !
