Nice catch, I’ll fix it when I have the chance. It’s getting long enough that I really need to learn how to run the testing programs, but that’s going to take a little figuring out.

23

I’m currently working on a few games and I don’t know how to run those programs. To be honest, I play through the game myself and go through each option making sure each one works. it’s a pain, but that way you get rid of 99% of the errors.

I love the premise. It looks to be shaping up pretty well. Just remember, with so many characters talking at once you have to be a real stickler for punctuation or else the the reader gets overwhelmed. There were a few times I was going “wait who’s talking right know”.

25

Found some parts that I’m confused at, English isn’t my first language. Other than that, I like it.

“You just about breaking your head nodding”
Don’t really understand that part

!Vicki grins. “Doesn’t feel half bad, does it?”
I think you’re trying to say Vicki

Game has been updated with the second scene. (The nature of the event you’re attending has been revised a bit, too.) I plan to expand some of this in the future, but it’ll do for now.

Found this little bug “Because that’s the sponsor’s product!” %{pro} groans."

Love the demo so far, really intriguing mystery setup too.

I found the same bug as the last guy, but otherwise really solidly put together.

Here’s the text snippet:

“Because that’s the sponsor’s product!” %{pro} groans. “You don’t play Who Gets The Poison with the sponsor’s product. You just don’t! Now, I want the two of you to go home. Rest up for a couple of hours. We’ve got a show to do tonight, dammit.” She runs spindly fingers through her hair. “We’ve still got a show to do.”

29

Thanks, should be fixed now. It’s pretty easy for those to slip by since they don’t pop up as game-stopping bugs.

Ah, just when things get REALLY interesting it ends. :slight_smile: Great job with this, I look forward to reading more!

Great dialogue within the story! Not only did it feel period appropriate but it also matched the characterization very well.

“Because that’s the sponsor’s product!” Phineas groans. "You don’t play Who Gets The Poison with the sponsor’s product. You just don’t! "

I look forward to more.

As StephC hasn’t been spotted since October or posted in rather longer, I’m closing her WIP thread for now. She can have it reopened by sending a PM to any mod at any time.

Per the forum guidelines, please don’t resurrect WIP threads that have been dormant for more than a couple of weeks.
