Deadbury Academy (WIP), new zombie-survival game from Mia and JimD - updated 10/13/24 - 76,000 words

Definitely sounds interesting. And you are right about 4-H having a wide variety of stuff; I focused primarily on the agriculture stuff to differentiate it from the other groups.

One thing we will try to do is go back and give a little more information about JROTC and 4-H. People outside the US were confused by them (understandably so), but some from the US didn’t know of them either. At least we made girl scouts/boy scouts into the more generic “Wilderness Scouts”

There will be some factions, and some will come from clubs, but that won’t happen until after the apocalypse is underway. In my head, there will be at least four factions, but that won’t happen until a couple other things come to pass.

There will be many similarities, but we do have at least a couple ideas that I hope land well. For that matter, someone asked if the Haunting was real; and the current answer is yes.

One thing I hope to be able to include is some side scenes like what to do with animals, planting, etc. These would be outside what I consider the hobby scenes. At this stage, we don’t want to make any promises.

I was going to ask the same thing. Being able to choose your race and nationality helps with really connecting to the character if you are of a different race or nationality. I was thankful for the other inclusion such as ace and nb. Especially reading the rotc route, and the description of my face being red. It made me disconnect a fair bit as even if my face was hot or “red” it wouldn’t be obvious. Hopefully this is something that’s considered on being added.

I’ll bet we can choose later it seems like we’re slowly picking out the appearance stuff… But hey if I’m wrong be the first to tell me.

It’s not something that we had considered yet, but it would not be difficult to add.

Is this happening every time you play the game, or only when you choose a specific option?

it’s the tattoo option, it happens every time (at least for me) doesn’t matter what type of tattoo I choose

It should be fixed now. I have also noticed on Moody that you need to open the game in a private window/incognito mode to get the latest version.

I haven’t been pumped for a story her in while. And the demo is super solid!

I played through some of the different scenarios and was wondering if the reader will know the father in the teen pregnancy like how you did if you fathered a kid?

If memory serves its been stated that we will know the other parent. I am not sure how many scenes we might have possible with them.

Jasmine's Incident


…Yeah. I feel like the available reactions are way too collected. If a random dude was in my bed when I was a teenage girl, I would be screaming bloody murder. Even threaten to snitch to the dorm advisor.

Lilith's Incident

My MC would advise Lilith to tell the school nurse at least. And even offer to accompany her if needed.

Seconded. I also pointed this out upthread :slight_smile: . Even as an adult woman rather than a teenage girl, I would probably scream down the dorm in this situation. And Jasmine herself is a bit too relaxed (to still be likable) about the situation IMO. Do you agree?

I’m not even female and my first response would be a swift kick in the dick.

Yes, it will most likely be in the next update.

@mistylavenda thanks for the suggestions. We can include them in the next update.

So while i was playing this game, something pique my interest. So, are we playing as an high school or a college student or higher than that ? I always confused about what the term " academy " refer to - high school or college or university

“Academy” doesn’t refer to any specific age or level. In this case, it’s high school.

@AletheiaKnights is correct. I’ve seen Academy used for grade school, high school, or college (or a military school like the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs).

Academy was chosen since at least in my experience, a private school (one paid for out of a person’s own pocket) is more likely to have that in its title.

Thank you :beers::beers:

The Jasmine situation definitely needs an option to freak the fuck out, now way I’d just be like “haha yeah this is fine” with a strange man in my bed trying to kiss and grope me. I also feel like an option to open up to Lillith about your own pregnancy if you’re roommates wouldn’t go amiss
