Husband Chores - a new homebrew

smccd · March 2016

I have recently released a homebrew game on the ZX Spectrum. It is called Husband Chores.

In it, you have keep your house clean by unclogging toilets, taking out the trash, etc. You can find it here: sebastianmihai.com/main.php?t=130&n=ZX-Spectrum-development-Husband-Chores-in-Z80-assembly-language

Husband Chores can also be played directly in your browser via a link on the page above.

Additionally, the platform-level code I've written for it has been organized in a library called libzx which can be downloaded freely and comes with a bunch of examples to help developers make homebrew games on the ZX Spectrum! The library can be found here: sebastianmihai.com/main.php?t=131&n=libzx-ZX-Spectrum-game-programming-library-Z80-assembly-language

Hi,

I've just tried this game a couple of times and I've actually managed finished it once.

To be honest, this game feels like doing a lot of chores to me, and while I'm glad you've finished a playable game, I can only say I'd recommend this to anyone who like to do chores on the computer.

Much more fun would be how to palm off chores on the misses, and a pub sub game for those moments it gets too much. :)

Thanks for the new development tools.
I miss the main chore that a missus may need and desire at certain untimely hours!
Suggestion: use the booby granny from JSW, undress the baldy one and make him her scort, watch out! she's still multi-orgasmic

Thanks for the feedback!
I have deliberately not shown the wife, leaving her up to the player's imagination. She is not as much a character, as she is a context, a framework within which you must prevail!

I can strive to understand intelectual sense of humour but this game needed someting in the vein of this theme

Spoiler:

maybe someone can take a look at the source and make the family version for the crap games competition

Sebastian, I have a question, are you originally from the UK or Canada? If from Canada, did you have a Spectrum back in the day?

Thanks!

Ivanzx, I am originally from Romania.
When I talk about the ZX Spectrum to friends or acquaintances here, in Canada, I often have to "introduce" it, as many have never heard of it before :)
