Aleks you are not allowed to let this die or you shall be hunted down by these fans of yours so far I’m enjoying the game. Nice work
Thanks for all this, nice to know I’m not doing it entirely for my own entertainment. Just thought I’d share a few pictures I’ve found that unfortunately aren’t in the public domain so I can’t use but are illustrative I hope for the story.

@AlexClifford1994 Yay for having noteable games!
Also, I thought I commented on this before (but realized I hadn’t) that I REALLY like this. Keep going with it please!
@BraveMustang it is a rather nice feeling isn’t it! Thanks, again it means a lot, especially from a fellow author. I like your WIP btw, it’s got real potential.
2nd half of chapter 3 finished and up there, Morales and De La Rosa find themselves embroiled in the intense battle for Madrid, both in the skies and on the ground…
@AlexClifford1994 What happens if like, get morales killed in Chapter 1, do the other characters get extra time or it just cuts the chapter (and the rest of the story) to focus on the other 3 characters?
@kai229 when characters get killed, their sections are skipped, but no there isn’t extra content for the others. What does happen is that when, at certain points the characters’ paths cross, the place of a dead character will be taken by someone else from that storyline, e.g. if Morales is dead, are character may meet Prieto instead or Joaquin instead of De La Rosa.
What I hope is that there is a certain level of replayability if you get a character killed, you might want to play again later to see what would happen if they survive.
Oh, understood @AlexClifford1994 when Chapter 3’ll be uploaded? i find this game really good, and i know a lot of games get you in third person, but this one you really can shape up your characters, like, make De La Rosa really cold blood, and i find it cool that they meet up, oh god, will De La Rosa meet Alba?
Chapter 4 is done, check it out!

It’s a bit shorter than the others but the choices you make are really very important indeed…
Works best (or at least is more dramatic) if all characters are alive. Also, interesting for the reader if Maria is NOT in relationship with Vidal, although chapter 3 is probably better if you are, so swings and roundabouts.
Anyway, this is the halfway point, 3 chapters before this, 3 chapters still to come. Also tidied up a few things and added more pics. Enjoy!
Loved it
You made me kill Alba
Love the love story between the pilot and the nurse
Oops, pardon for my other comment i just played the game, and i realized you don’t need to get killed
@AlexClifford1994 i found this small typo Check and double check your weapons and ammo. It want them gleaming, wouldn’t it be I want them gleaming instead of it?
@kai229 Thanks, fixed!
If anyone else spots little typos like this, it would be very kind of you to point them out, I know there are still a few of them knocking about.
Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone had any more general comments. I.e. what do you like so far, what hasn’t worked, what has, etc.
And one last thing, illustrations of the characters, good thing or bad for this game. There is a possibility I might have some done. But at the same time I’m mindful that the MCs are deliberately blanks slates to allow you to create them yourself.
@AlexClifford1994 i think you should add some deliberate elements of the character, I.E saying that alba has brown hair or de la rosa is blonde, things that make us shape the character out a little bit more, also, i really enjoyed the chapter, and i also liked that this isn’t the kind of game that if you fuck up, the guy will live, they WILL die, and i think it’s awesome, and makes you think logically before doing something, but some things are kinda quirky, like getting morales killed chapter 1, almost ASAP, you should make it like someone at his side gets killed because it’s so sudden!
Hawww yiss i love where the rebel girl is going. But im curious about a scene. In the church, where we can make love in the confesion box, if we chose to be with our friend instead of our boyfriend, are we actualy having lesbian sex in there?
@cyanide i still haven’t tested it, but holy fuck i have to agree with you, Alba has a long way ahead of her, my favorite character by far
Yeah, considering im socialist i tend to agree with her ideologie more than the others so i relate to this caracter more than the others. The nurse is my second favourite since we can make her pretty leftist despite the fact that she’s catholic and all. The characters diversity make this game awesome.
Exactly, you can shape them the way you want them! there’s no good or evil, only choices, and this game depicts this perfectly
@cyanide yep, i tested it, it’s lesbian sex
I like the game so far rarely can a game be fun to play and educational without getting boring, you seem to have a good balance! I will say though it get’s confusing at times when it comes to who i’m playing as i often found myself asking wait who am i again? Since we play as different characters i would recommend telling the player who they are first , maybe putting the characters name at the start of each transition, game of thrones style. Then again it might just be me i get confused easily
Oh and paragraphs! On most pages it’s fine but on one or two it can be a little bit of an overload especially if there’s a lot of dialog on that particular page. But don’t fret it’s not a big problem just me being picky! I love the pictures though really helps set the scene.
