Hooo boy, this makes me worried that people will eventually be able to see the mess that is my code, especially my early code xD

I was almost forgeting that I played the demo and really, really liked it <3

So, yeah, here I’m to say that I’m really curious about what Event Zero will have in store for us at the end; I really liked the missions on the demo, and asking myself if some of them will turn to be ā€œsomething moreā€, and wanting more chances to use our own affections :3

And to say that I can’t explain why, but I’m trully wanting to know the mistery about reasons behind Oliver’s crimes. And… Ok, his reaction if we flirt back is just marvelous and cute :3 GIVE THIS CUTTIE TO ME <3

Oliver is Zion’s brainchild <3

As for the rest, I hope we can get some more out there soon. Some of the missions might indeed have repercussions later ~

Thanks for your sweet comments <3

Hey all! If it’s not clear, we’re on a bit of a hiatus. I have two months of uni to finish, in which are about seven essays (I wish I was exaggerating), including a 12k word thesis, and a presentation. After those two months I’m definitely coming back, though, to work on this project! We have so many ideas and it’s not abandoned.

Meanwhile, though, @zionmantis has a project of her own she’s working on! There should be a demo forthcoming in a little while, and I hope you’ll all check it out when the time comes :slight_smile:

Again, this is not abandoned. We love it a lot, but we want to be able to give it the time it deserves, and I sure can’t do that right now. Whoever invented academia, anyway? D:

See you in two months! In the mean time we’ll gladly respond to new feedback and answer any questions that you all might have as best we can :slight_smile:

Whew.

Submitted the final essay today, with a lot of help from @zionmantis as ever <3

I’m going to be taking the weekend to deal with mental and physical health issues leftover from uni, but come Monday I’ll be chest-deep in code again, trying to figure out where the heck I left off. :smile:

Good work getting it all done! :grinning:

It’s great to see you back, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who has missed this WIP. :hugs:

Hi all! The update is still in the works! It’s taking a while because I decided I’m revamping the entire game with everything I’ve learned while coding it (Event Zero is my first time actually delving into ChoiceScript!)

Meanwhile, though, we’ve followed the example of some of our friends with WiPs and started up a tumblr! Here it be.

I’ll possibly be more active answering asks than Zion for a time, since I don’t have work at the moment. That said, I have family over for Christmas, and in this tiny house, things get busy, so I might be a bit more scarce. Or I might be more present to avoid family :sweat_smile:

We’ll be answering asks, but please look at our asks policy on the site!

We’ll also be posting other content there, though we’re not totally sure what it’ll be yet.

Thanks as always for your interest and for bearing with us (okay, mostly me) being slow.

I really enjoyed this demo. Your writing style makes you feel like you’re actually there in the moment with the characters. I’m interested to see how this develops.

Also Aiden is my favorite character so far.

i honestly adored this. the characters are such fun to interact with, and i love the overall premise. a very unique concept n well-executed at that. keep up the brilliant work!!

Hi everyone!

I know it’s been a while since there’s been an update, and there are also a whole lot of unanswered asks piling up over on the tumblr.

I’ve had a rough few months that have basically ended up in my doctor telling me to go back onto my meds for mental health.

It’s going to take me about a month to adjust to those but I’m hoping to come back with a lot more energy and focus. Meanwhile, I’m going to try to slowly work through some of the asks we’ve got.

Take care of yourselves and see you soon :heart:

Great to hear from you again! :black_heart:

I’m sad you’ve had a hard time, and hopefully the meds will help, and you will feel much better!
