Okay, so it looks like, for Hosted Games, Beta is on you. So, I updated the thread title and added the following to the top of the first post:
Beta Details:
-
I’m interested in low-level feedback: typos, pronoun errors (especially with romantic options), spelling errors, broken choices, continuity errors et cetera. High-level, the game is done. Big things: directions, outcomes… are not going to change.
-
Because this game has been WiP for so long, I have way more feedback about the beginning than the end–so feedback about the later chapters is more helpful.
-
Most of the errors are romance option pronouns. This is because there are seven gender-swappable romantic companions. To make things harder, you can’t vet them all in a single playthrough, since they may only be visible if a particular option is either male or female. So I’d need complete playthroughs with all-male and all-female companions to scrub everything.
-
There are rewards for help. I will credit any editorial champions at the start of the game with titles and platitudes. As you know, many characters and ships are named after long-time lurkers. Happy to let you name something or to name something after you as well. I’ve also mapped a sequel. So anyone truly heroic can help name ROs or help w feedback on art for STILL NOT YOUR MOTHER’S SHIRE.
-
My plan of action (in addition to responding to, hopefully, a flood of praise and useful troubleshooting) is to comb backwards with pronouns searches. To code out the poly romances. And to add achievements.
Thank you everyone for your love and support. Would have dropped off so long ago if not for this. Cheers!
Happy for any help. Happy without. (I try to be happy.) But it will be better and go faster if anyone is in to help grind. Either here or via DM; through the DD link or by doc–just let me know.
