Devil's Way [Working Title - WIP]

okay so its skipping hold on Im sure I can figure this one out



         Your eyes widen at this revelation and a cold shiver runs up your spine. You attempt to voice protests, but your lips do not move as you command it to, nor do your arms and legs. 

         *page_break

         *if (element = "fire")
           *goto fire
         *if (element = "water")
           *goto water
         *if (element = "wind")
           *goto wind
         *if (element = "earth")
           *goto earth
         *label fire
         Before long, you begin to feel intense heat surround you, and searing pain start from your legs, and then beginning to spread to the rest of your body. Panic begins to overwhelm you, and the sight of the flames register in your head, but you could do nothing to stop it, not even scream or shout in pain. Aresha does nothing to lessen your pain, but only increases the heat as the seconds tick by, allowing your skin to melt and your bodily organs to burn…

         *line_break

         *line_break

         Soon, the flames begin to die down, and only the burnt remains of bones and a pile of ashes is all that is left on the side of the road.

         *line_break

         *line_break

         And just like that, your journey ends abruptly.

         *goto_scene death

         
         *label water
         Before long, you begin to feel the air being knocked out of your lungs. You panic, attempting to breathe, but your body does not follow your orders, and the sensation of water in your lungs overwhelm you. The realization of drowning dawns upon you, all the while the water builds up in your lungs in a torturously slow pace. You choke on the amount of water being forced in your lungs, and you begin to lose consciousness…

         *line_break

         *line_break

         Soon, the water stops flowing, and your body, its chest swollen in unimaginable proportions, is all that is left on the side of the road.

         *line_break

         *line_break

         And just like that, your journey ends abruptly.

         *goto_scene death

         
         *label wind
         Before long, you begin to feel the air being knocked out of your lungs. You panic, attempting to breathe, but your body does not follow your orders. Your eyes go into a frenzy as you panic, as not even a single bit of oxygen fills you up. You begin to feel a burning sensation from your empty lungs, and you feel as if someone had their grip on your throat and is choking you. You begin to lose consciousness from the lack of air…

         *line_break

         *line_break

         Soon, the air flow returns to normal, and your asphyxiated body is all that is left on the side of the road.

         *line_break

         *line_break

         And just like that, your journey ends abruptly.

         *goto_scene death

    
         
         *label earth
         Before long, you begin to feel the land and the earth sway lightly underneath your legs. It is a small tremor at first, but you feel another one in a moment's time, and a more powerful one than the first in comparison. Slowly, more and more begin to dominate the area you are standing on, and your body could do nothing but stay its ground. The tremors begin to build up in magnitude, and it continues until a large fissure opens up in the ground beneath you…

         *line_break

         *line_break

         Soon, the tremors stop, and only a crevice is left on the side of the road.

         *line_break

         *line_break

         And just like that, your journey ends abruptly.

         *goto_scene death

Maybe that will do it?

Nope. Same thing as the last one. It completely ignored the *if command and gave me this:

Line 249: increasing indent not allowed, expected 2 was 4

@random idk how to say this I think you have something I call the twilight zone effect or parallel effect whatever sounds cooler like sometimes when I open documents I get an error when everything is in order… like I usually dont even use notepad++ anymore I code using the normal way but like when I get that code ill usually check normally and see no problem then open the document in notepad++ and see that the line I was looking at is in the wrong place when I know for sure it was placed correctly.

I think you need to open the document with notepad++ and then without it and look over the line to see if that’s it. if it is… I would cut it and then open the document in whatever it’s usually opened with and then copy it back where it’s suppose to be.

Uh… Problem is, I don’t have Notepad ++, and I have tried to download it, but since I’m using a Mac, it just creates even more problems when I tried to download Wine and all that stuff.

I have TextWrangler, and I did try to see, but everything’s apparently placed in one line, and I literally mean one line, so that’s kind of impossible to do right now. I’m also a bit confused at what you’re saying.

@2Ton, do you have Notepad ++? If so, could you please check it for me? I’d really appreciate it!

Double post again, I fixed it lol Finally realized that it was a minor problem with the caps and all that.

Sorry to take your time, @2Ton, thank you for helping!

Oh, no, it’s okay. np.

I liked it alot! I’m guessing you auto die when you reach the town/forest ?

@Random

Aresha’s sensual wickedness is absolutely delightful. She makes the game stand out. I look forward to the next installment.

@Random

Hmm…the game seems to break now on the *stat_chart’s at the end of startup.txt with a not enough arguments error. The *stat_chart’s in choicescript_stats.txt also cause the game to bomb with the same error. I recall the stat charts working just fine the last time I tried the game out two or three days ago however. Maybe I’m missing something, but your stat_chart code looks ok to me. Weird. What’s changed? You haven’t by any chance switched from an older version to the latest version of choicescript in the last 2 days or so have you?

@Pqfire09 Thank you! And are you talking after the bartender gives you the info? Well, no, but more interesting things will take place there. I’ve been kind of slow because of the amount of work I’m getting since it’s right before the end of the school year (yes I know, my school is weird), but I’m slowly going through there.

@P_Tigras Thank you, that’s good to hear! I’ve actually and honestly been worried about how I wrote Aresha, since I’m not used to writing those kinds of characters, but I’m glad that you enjoy it!

And eh? Really? Weird, I didn’t touch the startup.txt and the stat.txt since the past two weeks, since I’ve been working on the second scene. I just tried it out, pressing the stat button randomly and getting through the first scene with no problems at all. I didn’t change to the last version either, so I’m unsure of what’s going on exactly.

@Random You’re welcome. And don’t worry about the problem I reported. I forgot that I had booted into a different OS with an older browser. The older browser doesn’t seem to play nice with some of the latest choicescript improvements. Updating the browser fixed the issue.

@P_Tigras Oooh… I’m glad that you’re able to fix it, though! That’s good news, yep.

Great game! I like how you can knee the bandit in his “sensitive area” lol

Btw, how big is ur sword? Like is it a huge sword or is it more of a long knife?

Just backspace two places and see what it does?

.

I played as someone who worked as a messenger, trained in swords, and couldn’t read. When I kick the bandit in the balls he yelled, “catch his!” when it should be him

Well as i have understood it about the succubi incubi situation in a lot of diferent places that: succubi are sex demons and incubi was more like giving you nightmares when you are sleeping and feed of the fear that created a demon weaker than succubi. Correct me if i am wrong :stuck_out_tongue:

@Dalar There was no difference between incubi and succubi, save for one being a female form targeting men, and the other being a male form targeting women.

@God_of_Demonz Oops, sorry, edited!

@Dalar what @Drazen said is true, although still contemplating the incubi thing.

I’m taking quite long with the updates because of procrastination, but I’m still writing bit by bit. I’m just aiming until the part where you can set your allegiance for the second scene.

Probably going to re-write the first scene, but I’ll do that later.
