Community College Hero: Releasing Soon

You are making a really cool game with this. Two questions: one how do we get any secrets and two when can we see ch.5? I don’t think it’s up yet

@StarWarsMaster, Getting secrets and chapter 5 will be addressed in the update I’ll hopefully post by early May. I will do my best to ignore my wife and children this holiday weekend so I can get some writing done! :wink:

Is it possible to get an A in combat class with a detective?

@HornHeadFan I can imagine you now, furiously typing and waving away your basket-doning children. “Not now! Daddy’s* trying to make thankless people on the internet happy!” I should note, your effort is futile. They will never be happy.

*excuse my presumptuous statement and feel free to replace daddy w/ whatever best fits ;u;

the two toughest choices for me(so far)would be: how many secrets you will find for nil and what upgrade package to choose.

@Beezlebub, in the current version, no. That might change in the update. But regardless of your combat style, expect to get your butt kicked frequently. I hope it makes the climb towards respectability that much sweeter.

@Coyoteclaw11, your post made me lol. I managed to only neglect my wife last night as I saved my writing for the 9pm to 1am time slot. And yes, my daughters are definitely donning baskets…four egg hunts over four consecutive days. Geez. But I got a lot done writingwise Friday and made significant revisions to chaps 1 and 2. Working on 3 as I type this.

@AdamGoodtime, thanks for answering! I’m glad folks seem to like the classes/tests. I spent a lot of time trying to balance things and toss in some tough choices.

Okay back to writing.

Howdy hey another quick question can we have a link to all the awesome cool new stuff when your done? thanks

I’ll start off by saying that I’m far to indecisive to be making decisions but choosing a class was tough and so was choosing how many secrets I should give to Nil! (And not so harrowing things like my Hero name and costume)

I do love the story but I haven’t checked out your recent change or updates. I am working on something that I don’t want to accidentally copy some of your own character building or personalities. But again, when I did look at it, I was enjoying most of it. The only part before you updated was why couldnt a detective just listen to wombat and strike out without worrying about sight. If this was fixed, good but I need to wait to see that change. Keep up at the work!

@HornHeadFan I just have a question: In the Fight class scene, when it says to use a distance attack at Uni, it says I don’t have anything - But I have a slingshot!

Also I had written an error prior this post, bah why do I have to have errors I wanna continue this amazin game :frowning:

@trollhunterthethird, I apologize for the error. I know it’s very frustrating. Honestly I haven’t thought about the posted link for a few weeks as all my updates are written offline. I will try to fix this error when I get home tonight.

@jjc73, I’m still working on chapter 4 updates but yes I agree that the detective with his/her listening device and natural situational awareness should have some options to take down ComWom. And like you, I am trying to avoid other peoples’ works for the exact same reason. I read both Heroes Rise last year but I’ve avoided retreading them and I haven’t touched Team Zero or Waywalkers, which may have a few similar themes or settings.

You haven’t done Team Zero?! Man you’re missing out. If you want to try it I can tell you it’s almost nothing like your game.

@Beezlebub, I’ve heard very good things about it. My plan is to have a reading binge this summer after I submit CCH for publishing. I still think I can have CCH done by end of June, which would make it a 5 month process. Of course I know it will take a few months from that time to publishing.

On my summer reading list are Way Walkers, Slammed, Tin Star and Sabres of Infinity plus WIPs like Team Zero, Guenevere and When in Rome.

@HornHeadFan

They are all excellent games. I recommend Sabres of Infinity especially.

I’d also suggest checking out Choice of Rebels and Eight Thrones in the WIP section, if you haven’t yet.

Okay everyone,

Help me decide about the game title. Is Community College Hero too long? I’ve thought about other titles like Hero College (seems more generic) or Heroing 101 (I sorta like this) or Heroes Among Us (the name of the program they attend).

I need to retain “Hero” in the title for searchability (I read @JimD’s excellent article about promoting our games), but other than that, I’d consider any title ideas. Perhaps even moving Hero to the front and calling it Hero Community College?

Please share your thoughts!

Hero College is actually good from a search standpoint. It also has immediate recognition (I have an idea, just from the name, what it may involve). Also, short names show up well on apps (thus why I picked Zombie Exodus).

i don’t think community college hero is too long. i also think the others sound generic and boring(no offence intended)

way walkers university has the same amount of letters, and most of the “choice of the___” games have longer titles,so i think you’re fine.

to be honest the name “community college hero” is what attracted me to the game in the first place, as it seemed fun, different and a little wacky(in a good way)

the other titles are good, they just seem like i could see them elsewhere without looking very hard(especially heroes among us)

I have an idea for a title: How about?: College Hero: Assembling All Heroes. Does that work?
