Dialogue trees. Why do I always end up writing so many dialogue trees? :dizzy_face:

Sometimes characters have a lot to say - I only worry if they stay silent for me.

Apparently it’s my forum birthday! :tada: Hopefully I’ll finish a WiP before the next one.

I (tentatively) might have an update tomorrow. Some scenes in Chapter Five ended up longer than I thought they would, so I’m going to update in two halves rather than the whole chapter. (it’s always chapter five where things start getting out of hand
)

OK, the update is now up! First half of chapter five, about 9k/10k words. I’m still working on this chapter so some bits might be a little bit rough (the ask Gareth for information option isn’t finished yet so that’s greyed out on purpose.)

Got this error when the new chapter was supposed to start:
5_development_v2 line 106: Tabs and spaces appear on the same line
Sorry I haven’t commented on this WIP yet, but I promise to come back with feedback once I’ve played the new stuff! It’s one of my favorites :grin:

okay
 i dont know if im lucky or not, coz i only notice this WIP today, and after i give a try
 i must admit
 im hooked! :star_struck:
angel was so irresistible at first, and quite a shock when its turn out he/she isn’t as “innocents” as MC thought.
at firts i still like to pursue a relationship with them, but gareth is not so Devil like Angel, in truth gareth is absolutly the opposite of that “Angel”, he is kinda cute when mc flirt with him :blush:.
the fiancee trauma does help to make my MC hate Angel and DIABLO.
now to answer some question :

i really like the way you handle MC background, i usually hate the story where “dead boyfriend/girlfriend” is suppose to be a motivation for reader, but somehow i dont have an issue for this one, unexpectedly it does make the immersion feel so real, i can imagine the pain MC went through and the dream is really had an great impact, and i’ve been wondering myself how the hell did you managed to make Nick/Nina take a special place in reader’s (or i could say my) heart just with one paragraph :cry:
good job sir :+1:

speaking of stat screen, i like the way you handle it (suave/ruthless/technical does make sense for the story and it didn’t confuse me when making a decision)

and dude! i know how you feel about writing a fighting scenes, :sweat_smile: good luck with that :crossed_fingers:

keep up the good work!! if i had a chance in the future, i would love to betatest the game (its been a while since the last time i betatest a game :sweat:)

Thanks! :smiley:

I think the Nick/Nina dream scene is my favourite of the the dream scenes!

I guess I suck lol

normal name for a normal image because i am a normal human just like the rest of you all us fellow humans must stick together

Also the “don’t go” options when dreaming about Nick/Nina killed me a little. It was a really nice effect. :’//

Well, some of the failures lead to more interesting things later! :smiley: (and I don’t mean necessarily bad things either)

So did the knife slash end up damaging any wires in the arm? I don’t remember it being mentioned again when the prosthetic was brought up.

Mission progress: 36%
Suspicion: 64%
Focus: 95%

Looking at what others have posted, I probably haven’t made the best decisions :grin: But I think that’s also a part of the story’s appeal - there’s sometimes conflict between what you probably should do and what your personality/ideals/insistence-on-constructing-a-character-that-is-a-truer-reflection-of-the-actual-self direct you to do. Replayability’s definitely high.

That’s what I’m trying to go for - overall what’s good for the mission doesn’t always go with 180’s personal goals.
(64 Suspicion though! What’d you do, run through the corridors yelling ‘so what’s up with that dead guy then?’)

i can’t make my mind between Nick and Gareth (and also hate to admit it
 Angel too :cold_sweat:), but for all the pain my MC’s going through, i guess Gareth will be a better choice for him (physically and mentally) --that is if Gareth can accept that my MC still cant completely remove Nick from his life–

Well, without being too spoilery, at various points in the series there will be big developments associated with each of the three trauma backgrounds (for instance, uncovering what happened to your parents for the dead parents MC). So Nick might be haunting you for a while yet


Gareth is certainly a healthier choice than Angel (as would pretty much anyone be :laughing: )
