Fables: Part I V.0.06 [42k Words, 8/4/17] *Abandoned*

Yep, definitely going to add in a choice for Aquila’s gender then. Wish this came up earlier so I could avoid this confusion, my apologies!

On another note, Aquila may not be non-binary but Tories is.

Found an error.

I don’t mind the gender for Aquila but I’m lost as to why it bothers people?

Someone got confused because of the they/them/their pronouns being used for Aquila:

Even though he/she is a single entity.

Thanks! I was kind of confused.

Thank u that helps alot

@peaches
I’ve taken note of it and will fix it when it can.

@Jude_Pierre
Thank you for asking the question and helping me avoid major future confusion!


So, I am actually able to finish my summer classes today instead of tomorrow. That’s means a day early to get back to editing and writing, but for today I’m going to try and gather all of the errors, typos and other additions I need to do before I continue on.
So far,

To-Do List
  • @nauhziy’s errors to fix - Done
  • @ParrotWatcher’s typos to fix - Done
  • @peaches’ error to fix - Done
  • Add gender choice for Aquila, and replace all of the pronouns with variables… - Done
  • Move around the character creation to fit in more with the story - Done
  • Add dream about race - Done
  • Finish more with the tests - Um…
  • Note to self: Don’t worry about 4th wall breaking, you’re already doing that

Am I missing anything?

Update Time!

So, I went through and finished basically everything on my to-do list, including adding more to chapter 0. I had the update with bug fixes and typo fixes done yesterday morning but I wanted to have new content to show in the next update, so I waited a bit until I finished more of chapter 0. (Also a bit of set back when I realized I didn’t need to copy and paste the new character creation bit five times, and could’ve used gosub… .-.)

Anyways, the first part of the prologue right before you meet Aquila is mostly rewritten. I rewrote the beginning on chapter 0 for the dream about races and you can see some of the effects of choosing different backgrounds for the MC in the game. I took out about 11 achievements that were useless, they were just there to be place holders. You might notice that I added five more, but they literally are just hidden 1-5, that’s how secret it is :’)

Note: If you read the code and see something like…

*comment stop putting off finishing the encyclopedia you cuck

Know that that isn’t directed towards you, that’s just past me insulting and telling future me to finish stuff…

So, V.0.06 is now live, as always you can reply here or message me directly about any bugs, errors, continuity, or just anything in general about the game. :grin:

The part where we choose our
gender and race repeats, then I get an error.

prologue line 318: it is illegal to fall out of a *choice statement; you must *goto or *finish before the end of the indented block.

(Do you sometimes wish you weren’t human?)

I’m afraid I don’t really think this really works… If it was part of a dream, it could be a sort of premonition, but if it’s just the MC wishing for it, it seems weird. Are we to assume that a werewolf or vampire MC actually went out of their way to get infected, simply because that’s what they wanted?

And I got the same error as @RagEgnite, only on line 408.

Yeah, that part of it bothered me too, mostly because the game already said we woke up at that point, and it’s weird for the MC to imagine changing their race and then

pop

We’re now a vampire!

Yeah I agree with them as well it a little odd to think you wouldn’t wanna be a human. I’m having the same arror as the rest of you guys. :fearful:


It looped me once. I selected male, wish i were werewolf, then yes, and it took me back to waking up in class. Same choices and got this bug.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I will look into that bug when I get my hands on a computer. A bad on my part since I only tested chapter 0, and didn’t go through the beginning part to see if worked.

I was iffy on the race bit and left it in for opinions, now that I know it won’t work I’ll be writing something else for that.

Side note: I’m going to be adding new feedback questions at the beginning post once I’ve fixed this bug, so look out for those when I fix the bug.

Bug :ant:

Peaked at the code through Dropbox on my phone, I’m not sure what’s with the repeat and illegal choice statement thing, but I won’t be able to really get a full look at it until tonight.

In other news, I wanted to actually ask before rewriting the race bit. I’m thinking that the first dream in the prologue will have some strange creature (that will represent race, since the dreams are supposed to be ambiguous) will charge at the MC, the choice there will be what kind of creature charges at the MC.

Poor example time!
Clifford the big red dog charges the MC
MC gets a chunk torn out of them by a werewolf later in chapter0, which means congrats MC is now a werewolf

P.S. I’ve decided that werewolf MCs will be turned in chapter 0, cambion, nephilim, and shifter MCs find out they are not actually human, and vampire MCs get turned in chapter 1.

In the current version of Choicescript, all *choice-text bodies must end with you telling the script where to go next. A *goto will direct the script to a label and a *finish will direct the script to the next chapter…

example

*choice
  #My name is Jessica
    *set name = "Jessica"
    *goto gender_selection
  #My name is Tom
    *set name = "Tom"
    *goto gender_selection

In this example if I had left out the *goto gender_selection in either choice, the script would give that error you have line 363.

In the future this may change but this is what it is for now.

@Eiwynn
Thanks for the help, but I found out t was actually because I capitalized the gender variables, which caused the repeat :disappointed_relieved:


I’ve updated the game to fix the bugs, and I went through it a few times. Hopefully that’s all, or at least most, of the bugs squished. I didn’t rewrite the race part just yet because I wanted to get these bugs out of the way.

Next time I reply it shall be news of the rewrite for choosing the MC’s race!

Edit: I have replaced the questions in the feedback questions area on the first post with new ones for the latest version of the demo.
