Citadel WiP (Updated: 1/21/2023) - A Medical Drama with Romance

first of all


nice
second of all , when you pick the only coffee option for breakfast at the start of chapter 2 , it feels awkward when Eli comes in asking for breakfast as if there is food, doesn’t flow.

Thanks for the catch!

Also, that totally makes sense. Will implement that in the next update! As always, thank you for your stat suggestions :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Ahhh, thank you! Yes, Dr. Grey seems to be rising as a fan favorite RO haha! And, well, everyone has their secrets…:shushing_face:

And, yes, I did create the new character portraits with Artbreeder (creds to @ofna, who used Artbreeder for her RO portraits!) as I have little portrait drawing talent…The “chaos” function is the most hilarious/creepy thing I’ve played around with on Artbreeder lol. :laughing:

Re: The gender choice/clothing preference.

Personally, I’d avoid “but you feel more comfortable in feminine/masculine clothes” in the nonbinary section. Maybe change it to “and it’s what you prefer to wear”? Better leave gender out of it because in my experience it doesn’t matter all that much to most NB individuals.

I also have mixed feelings about “You’ve always liked a good skirt, ever since you were a little girl”. The guy section acknowledges that shirts and slacks are the most basic outfit without connecting it to the character’s childhood preference, why do it for female characters? Just feels like an unnecessary detail about the MC that the player cannot change and therefore not easily headcanon differently.

Re: Eli. Not sure I appreciate that the game immediately assumes my character’s romantic/sexual interest in Eli.

What about players who do not choose Eli’s gender based on the sexual preference of their character? You could just be a straight girl/guy living with your girl/guy friend or a gay girl/guy living with your roommate of the opposite sex. (If that’s not an option in your game, be sure to communicate that the MC has/had feelings right before the Eli gender choice.)

Otherwise, so far, I love it. Great idea and writing style. Plus, the RO pictures are a really nice touch (especially for the gender-flippable characters). Unfortunately, I don’t have more time to play right now, but I can’t wait to meet the other ROs. :wink:

Aww, thank you! Hopefully I won’t have to code a million possible outcomes haha! :laughing:

I think this is some sort of coding error, amazing game! Really liked the options, and the drama with the incident with the security guard.

Ahh, thank you! Glad you liked the scene with the security guard–thankfully, it wasn’t too hard to code! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Found a coding mistake. These choices popped up when I asked Eli about Jean:

I would recommend taking Chapter 1 out of Startup, just to make the scenes list prettier, and the code tidier.
