Dragon Racer (WIP) - Updated 1/30/17 (post 615)

or maybe a slight smile?

Who knows, it’s a mystery…

Alright so the link should be updated with all the fixes. If there is anything else you notice then please comment and tell me so I can fix it and what not.

If you have any small ideas (not story shifting) ideas then I’m open to hear them, whatever makes the game more comfortable to you guys and helps clear up things.

Also I’ll answer any questions that you guys have. Thanks you guys!

I got an error message when I got the achievement road to enlightenment. I play on my phone so no screen shot but I had a black dragon and had been focusing on magic skills.

Prior to that I noticed we now have the ability to affect our dragons alignment. I thought that was a nice touch.

That seems odd, could it be the phone or perhaps another part of the code you think?

I’d gotten an error when I selected “Tell them how it is.” when talking to the MC’s parents with a black dragon as well. I’m going to see if I can replicate it for you real quick and I’ll edit my post 'cause it did provide a code.

Edit: Got it.

Found the issue and fixed it. It should be fixed now.

I just remembered that this whole thing reminds me of the Eragon book series. Especially with the dragons’ personalities and the bond between dragon and rider.

Well, i hope we can become someone like Galbatorix then. :grinning:

Yup. I just did another quick run to check and it’s progressing now. :smiley:

Bug reports aside, I’m both bummed and snickering at Cassius being exclusive to gals. It’s just so… satisfying to watch him sputter and get all flustered when flirting with him as a guy. If I wasn’t the kind of guy who’s stubbornly adamant in playing MCs of his own gender, I’d probably get to enjoy his romance but alas. :joy: I harbor no ill feelings about it. Shader’s interesting enough. It’s just so… odd pairing him with my guy, heh.

Considering my fella’s got a gold dragon and tends to lean towards the more lawful side of things, the two of them together honestly has to be quite a sight. Very yin and yang. I also may or may not have a weakness for guys who are essentially tsundere. :persevere: Running away from his post-kiss wrath is one of my favorite moments from any choicescript game so far!

So, is there any reason why a green dragon wasn’t a choice for the MC’s dragon? I just… can’t help but feel that green’s gotta be somewhat important 'cause of the wild dragon encounter. That, or I might just be looking too deep into it. :joy:

In all honesty when I was making the dragons I just forgot about the green dragons and by the time I remembered them I had already developed the other dragons and didn’t want to add a sixth dragon type.

But no I mean I’m thinking about bringing the dragon back but it’s not as deep as I think you’re going lol.

has anyone thought about the possibility of adding wyverns into this game! I say this because they are a closely related to dragons and they can come in so many colours, so maybe the colours of dragons you didn’t add in you could just transfer them over to the wyverns and who knows you could do page where one of the characters explains how the different colours of wyvern and how they act.

Isn’t the gold dragons basically a wyvern? Since the gold has 2 sets of wings instead of front legs. Or does he have front legs and 2 sets of wings? Now I’m not sure anymore :sweat_smile:

wyvern’s have many looks, but yes they do have the legs at the front and no legs at the back. but there is a version where they have 4 wings and 4 legs but that’s mostly in Chinese legend but they don’t really come in gold mainly primary and secondary colours.

I noticed a few things.

I thought these were in order but my phone seems to have messed my photos up again. I apologise in advance :no_mouth:

1) When the MC goes back to the fort after however many years had passed:


‘Parts if it had chipped and fallen to the ground.’

2) During the Rules class:


I assume this is ‘Dressage is as tough as Battle Royale’ :slight_smile:

3) The page where you choose the worst change after the time skip:


A word seems to have been missed out here ^^
‘it would be the liveliest place around.’

The second half of this had quite a lit of commas. You could probably get rid of some of them and put a semi-colon in there somewhere.
I don’t mind giving you more information on this if you wish.

4) Reminiscing with Father:


Is thus meant to be ‘It’s hard not to do such a thing’?
I may have completely misinterpreted this though ^^’

5) Just before the MC leaves:


I’m unsure if this is a mistake it not but it states that decision to leave was not a happy one. However I think I chose the most enthusiastic response to working as a stable hand (came last).

6) Receiving the emblem(?) from Father:


I feel the moment MC’s father begins speaking should be the start of another line :slight_smile: :slight_smile:
“What is this?”

“Your mother…your real mother”

You’ve done this everywhere else though so I’m sure you’re already aware :blush:

7) The same paragraph:
<img src="//cdck-file-uploads-global.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/choiceofgames/original/2X/e/ef33f3f2e7f6d064cff7088d6beecba9cc46a9b6.png"="300" height=“500”
“because you are our child.”

I have a few more but I’m afraid I’ll have to go to bed-I won’t want to wake up otherwise :sweat_smile:

Got em, I haven’t really gone back and done a mass editing yet. Not that I could find all the mistakes anyway. So thanks.

Geez, I do apologise; I completely forgot to post the rest! :sweat:

8) I believe this is when the MC is leaving:


A word seems to have been missed out; 'to learn what the town was called.

Or you could shorten it to ‘to learn the town’s name’. ^^

9) When visiting the kid (just before leaving):

Is this what one would call a ‘consistency error’?
He’s a naturally kind (from the choice at the beginning) blue dragon. The first time the kid hugged him he happily let if happen.

10) On the road again. I just can’t wait to get on the road aga-

‘Where that destination lay was a mystery’.

11) Hunting for the dire wolf with Shader:

You might be able to get away with writing it as:
‘You walk alongside Shader as you enter, admiring the forest.’

12) I think this is after returning from the fort and having had the conversation with Mother:

‘As you ride, you let the feeling of being in the air replace your current one

Maybe you could replace it with the emotion. For example, frustration (or something :sweat_smile:):
‘As you ride, you let the feeling of being in the air replace your frustration, and allow you mind to breathe for a moment.’

Although I suppose this may depend on the choices beforehand. I’m unsure on how they all end.

13) After riding with the gang:

‘The perfect sunrise lay before you’

Aaand that’s all I’ve found :blush:

P.S: Sorry to ask this, I’m aware this question appear a lot:
How do I put things in spoilers? I can never remember :sweat_smile:

Oh! And is there anything in this post you would like me to put in one?

Edit: To romance Shader (as a male) will we have to flirt with him at some point or is it possible to achieve without doing so?

[spoiler] the thing you want to hide [/spoiler]

Thank you! I’ll save that now so I don’t forget.

I think you have to flirt with him at least once. I didn’t flirt with him when he challenged me to a duel, but I did flirt with him in the forest by… admiring him and I triggered his romance later on. I imagine choosing to have a dream about him also helps. He’s definitely the kind of guy who wouldn’t even know how to begin to acknowledge his feelings unless you put him on the spot like that. :joy: So flirting might be necessary. :sweat_smile:
