180 Files: The Aegis Project (spy/thriller) (new short demo 24 Feb)

I really like how the story is so far! I get excited when I see it updated :laughing: And that dream sequence of Nick really messed me up (in a good way, I love them angst :rofl: Kudos to you!)

A question though! So I pretty much play my mc where she is still hung up over Nick but I am interested in the romance with Gareth–is there any chance where the mc could be hesitant in entering a new relationship because of the trauma? Kind of like, they wouldn’t want the same thing to happen again, etc. It’d be interesting if there were. :grinning:

I’ve been trying not too choose the flirty options too much because I felt it was rather out of character for my mc lol :sweat_smile:

Ooh, been loving the new update and especially the dream sequence with the death spouse. The ‘don’t go’ options. It just broke my heart. I’m a sucker for angsty. And 100 is definitely unique and I also have a think for -ahem- big age gaps. So I’m asking, can he be bi? Or pan? No, no. Scratch that. I’m begging. Lol

Well, the game itself does take place over only a few days, so with the Gareth relationship (and Hex and Vicki relationships) it’s difficult to make it hesitant or too subtle. With the other relationships they may have more of a hesitancy (except for Angel, Angel is not subtle, haha)

There will be options on how the dead-fiancee MC feels about starting a relationship, and what isn’t there right now but I was planning to add will be a little interruption on the flirt options to be like ‘are you sure about this?’

So from the poll, 30% of you like living life dangerously :wink:
Agent 100’s the dark horse in 2nd place.
And Nick/Nina are tied for 3rd place which is pretty good for someone who only appears in flashbacks!

I’m enjoying this so far; nothing like a good revenge thriller. A few things:

If we befriend or romance Hex, will we be able to use that against Hanson?
Can we kill Hex or Gareth or Vicki to cover our tracks?
Where am I supposed to get the cover story info that Agent 100 quizzes me on? There’s no dossier in the stats screen.
In the flashbacks, Nina uses ‘his’ pronouns.

Yes.

No. It’s assumed that 180 is the kind of person who wouldn’t go out of their way to get innocents killed.

When you choose the ‘quiz me on it’ option, you get a paragraph of information before you go through the questions. If you could just switch to the stats screen to check for every question it would be too easy! :stuck_out_tongue:

Just in the dream one, or in all the mentions of Nina? I’ll check over the pronouns.

It seems to be just in the dream. (And I’d conpletely forgotten about the Alex Daniels infodump.)

Next update with the rest of chapter five is very nearly done. I just need to convince myself to finish off a few last scenes rather than skipping forward and working on chapter six! :smile:

Here’s trouble for you:

Great news… thanks to @Alexandra recommendation , i already play through it once and like it very much:smile:

now i will continue with my character’s mission …

by the way, are you planning to set up Angel as Prodigal-equivalent of “Enemy-Romance Interest” ? :wink:

Sort of… but Angel might not be a typical villain romance. You won’t be able to make them a better person, but they might well be trying to make you a worse one.

Thanks for the tips… no point fighting a lost cause then :wink:

Must eliminate the threat at first opportunity then :smile:

Aw, you don’t want to go to the Dark Side? C’mon… :stuck_out_tongue:

Well… is the Dark Side promote peace and harmony ? If so , i don’t mind joining …Lol

Hmmm… What are the chances of joining Angel just for information and containment ? I have a feeling that she is smarter than my Main Character :smile:

It really really isn’t :pensive:

You’ll see.

Sooo…

I took a peak at the code feels ashamed because I kept on failing at the chase sequence aaand I got a question… how do I get ghostblocked? I stated a romance with both Gareth and Hex and I didn’t flirt in one playthrough with anyone but I never get ghost blocked and when I choose the jazz option and “think a little of me” is never mentioned :confused:

Also

I don’t think I have much interesting to talk about," you say almost automatically.

It doesn’t make any sense. Did you mean " much interest"? " I’m not very interesting to talk to"?

I don’t mind people looking at the code. If you find spoilers you have only yourself to blame though. :smile:

That doesn’t work right now. I think I need to figure out how to make it block romances if you choose that option.

That’s going to come up in chapter 6, for maximum dramatic timing!

Hmm :sweat: makes sense to me, maybe it’s a dialect thing. I might change it to 'anything interesting’to be clearer

Made me laugh at work :laughing:

I shouldn’t have a thing for the guy that tried to kill me, but what can I say? I’m a fan of espionage romance.

Hm, how about adding an option after the dream sequence that leads to the ghostblocke? For example, If we choose options that indicate we are still in love with our fiance but still pursue a romance with another NPC? You may also add it as a scene for those who do not want to romance other people because they are still not over them like me

as I write this comment my neighbour blasts every time by Britney Spears on the piano what the hell dude
