Ace of Spades WIP (25/Jan - Demo 2.0 is up! Time to crime!)

I usually use a female MC, and she’s the flirty (and slightly perverted) type. Kinda sarcastic, I guess? Pretty athletic + lean and graceful. (If I did use a male, they’d be even more perverted :sweat_smile:)

So, just to check, the update is sometime in February, yes?

According to @StephanieL tumblr: the next update is planned for January 25.

Hope it helps! :grin:

Thank you!

Nope, it’s between J and A.

Edit: The author already answered that lol, I didn’t notice TnT I’m very excited for the next update. My favorite games are where the MC has a set personality with just a little bit of customization. I think it makes them seem more real and not plain. So… I like that this game has that!

Found this demo tonight and I’m hooked! I’ve so far picked out a charming, sarcastic thief who uhhh has some hard feelings about her breakup with Nicholas. So, naturally, I’m definitely getting them back together. Can’t wait for the next demo update!

  7. A thought keeping bees at their apartment would be a good idea

I was trying the update and found that in the part were you answer Alex’s phone message all options gave a similar error that doesn’t let you continue playing? It varies the number of the firtst line (depending on the answer) but the missing one is the same.

Mmm did you use an old save? I think it might crash without restarting the whole game, I had to fix a bug with the criminal stat and ran into that issue when I tested it from halfway through as well. (Now it raises in % instead of flat, bc I had some playthroughs that were nearing 200 criminal stat and it was looking too weird on the stat page so I changed it :joy:)

If you could give it a try, please let me know if it works and I’ll edit the post so people will be aware of this bug!

HAHAHAH it’s okay! Thanks for pointing it out though, I didn’t even remember I made that change.

Hope your exam went well, and be sure to get some rest :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Same :sob:

I just tested it out up until that choice and couldn’t get the error D: I think you might be using an old save slot? It really won’t work unless you start over because of the criminal stat, sorry for the trouble :pensive:

Hey there! You’re probably running the game from an old save file, I’m afraid. I changed the criminal stat from flat to %, so it’ll keep crashing unless you start over.

Good call changing assault to extortion! I liked the little bits we learned about our MC’s plus A’s and N’s pasts. Love Lucas’s whole look and demeanor already :heart_eyes:, but honestly? All the ROs give each other a run for their money :crazy_face:.

On the topic of ROs…our heist gang seems much more dangerous than at first glance. (Looking at you, M :eyes:). Don’t know if I love it or hate it just yet.


Here’s a couple things I caught:

I’m not sure if capitalization matters in code, but I wasn’t able to read the little blurb you wrote the first time we see R – I’m thinking it’s because the rodrigo variable isn’t capitalized in your if statement?

Also I’m thinking you meant to add an actual museum name to the newspaper headline? All it reads is “Star of India Gem stolen from museum here.

I would also recommend replacing “save any expenses” from Chapter 2 with “spare any expenses!”

Other than that – great update, Steph!
