Event Zero - WIP

I read this on my phone while in Abnormal Psychology when I was done with my review quiz before midterms, and my professor wanted to know what I was reading.

I told him I’d text him the link, and then he seemed to be taking quite an interest in it, not even glancing up as class was dismissed.

I may have made you two a fan for when you finish this!

I’m sorry your Abnormal Psychology lecturer was a jerk :frowning: I had this professor for Psychology and also for Sociology last semester, and I liked the way he taught, so I figured I would double up on his classes again this semester and took Developmental Psychology and Abnormal Psychology. Didn’t know he was into text-based games, but I suppose since he is a reader it wasn’t that far of a stretch.

I think out of all 19 credits I’m taking this semester, those two classes are my favorite (and the easiest, though that really shouldn’t have any bearing on why they’re my favorites), I think if I could have picked any classes and still had them all count towards my degree, I would have taken nothing but psychology and sociology classes with this professor.

You are both welcome. I figured it would not only give you both smiles, but also motivate you two to keep on plugging away at this, however long it takes.

Now, I probably should go to bed now. It’s 5am and I am wiped out. Must get my rest so that I can do the whole mid-terms thing come Monday.

Good luck for your midterms! Kick them in the ass <3

Just to let anyone who’s interested know, the next chapter MIGHT be up before the weekend. :3

Re: separating powers and background choice in chapter one - probably going to do that, but I’ll see once I’ve some other stuff for chapter two.

So will your background ever come up? Maybe if you were a arms dealer having you meet with someone supplying you with weapons or have a flashback to where you were recruited?

Your background may come up briefly in chapter two if you pick a certain option in a certain fight!

But other than that, yes, probably.

That would be great! Imo, the more combos the better.

BTW, something I found interesting in my second run: I chose to stand by myself at the beginning and did not speak to anyone or voice my opinion at all. Way later, when the team has gone on a mission and climbed the rooftop, MC finally automatically drops a line(a question to Oliver). I just cannot imagine others not to turn their heads in unison and go “HEY, IT CAN TALK”, lol.
I think some reaction would be nice there, if we’re playing “mute”.

I think I will have this working in the next update, though watch it break everything because I did something dumb, lol.

I would actually really dislike that but that’s just me since I’ve heard that in real life :confused: If it does get in game I’ll just make sure my character talks to someone

this is a good point - although it wouldn’t bother me to have my character addressed as such, it would bother me if I was placing myself in the position. I’ll have a think about it. <3

Oh, I used to hear that a lot way back when in highschool, so yeah, I hear ya :wink:

As I said, “some reaction” would be nice. An acknowledgement of sorts, so you see other characters paying attention to MC and their actions. Definitely not what I wrote verbatim, I’m sure @Jessicanity and @zionmantis will come up and deliver far-far better compared to what I did. I think it’ll only improve the story.

Thanks for the faith in us :3 we’ll figure something out!

Hey, everyone. We’re talking about how best to have trans players represented. Obviously, they can currently just select male or female. If there are any trans players out there - would you prefer to have an option something like “people used to think I was male, but I’m female”, or would you prefer just to have the option to select female, or vice versa?

  • I’d like to state it explicitly.
  • I’d rather just select male or female.

Possibly ON the weekend instead of before. Everything was fine, and then I looked at the code and went… “Wait. I can make this more complicated.

I hate myself, lol. But I think the outcome will be worth it! If full of bugs at first, because this code is driving me insane. :yum:

Lol, my friend and I’ve been describing my mental state in code all day xD

*if will_to_live > 0
*goto keep_coding
*elseif kitten_stream = “true”
*set will_to_live +%25
*goto watchstream
*else
*goto lie_on_the_floor

in all seriousness, thanks for the patience <3
