Please don’t ask questions like that as it puts pressure on the author and it violates forum rules. Also love what your doing with the story keep up the good work!! Your loyal fan!!
How many secrets are available ? I only know Kombat Wombat
I managed to only steal 3 …I wonder if i can steal five during the entire demo :0
Wombat
Mob
Tress
Dirty Girl
UFG
Five secrets, though I think DG’s and UFG’s are mutually exclusive right now.
Yep @Wonderboy is right.
I will probably be pretty quiet for the next week or two as I try to push for the finish line. I’ll try to scribble down notes to myself or lines of code instead of posting on here during work breaks.
P.S. I noticed that, at least as of last night, this thread had more views yesterday than any other, excluding the “new forum” thread. I was surprised but admittedly proud, as I’m a new writer who just decided to try my hand at this. I’m overwhelmed by all the input and support you all have supplied.
Now let’s get this finished!
Who is ufg? And how do you get dirty girl’s secret . I am ussually only able to find 3!
In order to get DG’s secret you need to be romantically involved and in Crook’s do something about contrarian group, I think. Then you call her up and invite her over.
UFG - Unicorn Fish Girl; she leads the undecided and is a potential romance if you go that way; otherwise she’s probably most memorable as the girl who asks you to throw the match during the breaking people midterm.
congrats on the view count.
Are there any philosophy majors in the thread?
I’m writing a scene that explains some character motivations, especially rooted in utilitarianism, and I want it to sound logical, at least from that character’s perspective.
Send a PM if this is up your alley.
Can’t wait for the beta Man I wish it was next Week already lol Well wanted to say hello and Good night from your loyal Fan!!
So Excited for the beta I can’t wait!! Keep up the great work!! Looking forward to it!!
I’ve got no fancy degrees and I’m not much for fancy words either, but I’m pretty logical and I’ve been a GM for years, so hey if you need a ball-plank… Unfortunately I have no idea anymore how to send a PM…Lousy new forum.
I just sent you an invite to a PM group that’s discussing some of the philosophical/character motivation issues. I’d just put it in the thread but I want to keep some surprises for most folks when the beta rolls out.
General Question to all:
Should I keep the (small increase to Mob relationship) messages??
I’m still working on adding content this weekend I’m trying to figure out if it makes sense to keep including them. If I’m going to delete them, I should just go ahead and do it now before beta.
PRO - Some people like knowing that their interactions and choices produced the desired result
CON - It seems to smack the reader in the face with a somewhat sterile “stat message” right in the middle of what is hopefully an interesting character interaction.
I am leaning towards deleting them but keeping the (you have learned a secret!) and the (Your shhh has been increased by 1) because they are truly more stat-based and because they are MUCH less frequently encountered.
The relationship messages number almost 100. I’m just afraid that’s waaaay too many messages clogging up the narrative.
Thoughts?
What u should is keep the messages but place them after the conversation. It’s fine otherwise
I agree with @starwarsmaster. I’m doing the same thing in my game and depending on the setup, I put the stat message either at the very top of the next page after the choice or at the end of the interaction so it doesn’t stick out in the middle of everything
I think you’re right to delete them…
I’d delete them. I’d rather think that everything I say to a character has meaning, rather than just select dialogue options. Even if it’s not the case, the illusion of choice and consequence is a powerful tool for immersion.
Man his story just keeps in getting better and better!! I’m so happy for the beta it’s going to be sweet!!! Like what I said earlier about that stats balusters keep them but move them after the conversation. Cuz they do help. Sigh I wish it was next week!!
