Abnormal (Work in Progress)

The strike cutscenes are the ones like the first one with the backpack, and if you saved the girl that was a strikes one too. Doing too many wrong actions will give you a strike and result in you losing the fight

Timed cutscenes are the ones with a timer.

Whatever direction you chose (N,E,S,W) will give you either a timed or strike cutscene.

The cutscene mechanic is something that makes sense to do but hasn’t been done hardly at all.

Feels like a QTE.

Yeah, I don’t want to have too many cutscenes, don’t want them to get boring.

Btw I always forgot to say this, Community name, probably better to add more context to it, I feel this could make people confused as to what it is.

Like added context ā€œthis is how your character widely known or callsign by most people not settlement/community nameā€

Yeah, I was thinking of mentioning a few other towns around you too.

Well that’s escalated quickly with the girl, so we let in an impostor huh? Not sure why though, nothing make sense at this point.

Eventually it should make sense, lol. As for the girl, try to keep some of those details with spoiler tags. We’re getting to the climax of the first chapter, and what direction the game will be going! :slight_smile:

Also if you want a hint: If you let the girl in, she’ll give you her name. The meaning behind her name is important. You’re dream and what your wrapped in also gives you a small hint.

Mini Update 11/28/2024

First off, I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!

With the Holidays, I haven’t got to write as much as I want too. But, since it’s been a month… I thought I’d put out a small update.

This update is only focused on your journal (STATS screen). The Journal now shows…

  1. Your name, your job title, and your community readiness.

  2. An old Protector handbook written one hundred years ago.

  3. Character descriptions and their feelings towards you.

  4. Your personal journal with past and current entries.

The actual stats have not been added into the game yet, example you can be nice/mean to someone and the relationship bar will not move. That is being worked on.

For those interested in Romances; all new recruits, Alice, Shelly and Shawn will be romanceable.

Just to make you aware, Dashingdon hosting will be closing soon so I would recommend moving this to cogdemos or uploading a compiled html file:

Hey everyone, I finally moved Abnormal to the cogdemos, you can play here

As for updates to the game, I’m sorry it’s been a few months since the last update. I recently found out that I’m pregnant, and writing has been the last thing on my mind. I am still working on it, but updates will take longer.

Also, I have written a little extra if you don’t go West… But not enough to call it an update. It’s around 2k words, including command lines.
