Hey snoe tell us when you got the next chapter made and uploaded.

dude patience, asking about updates is usually frowned upon around here.

I just wanted to make sure he remembered because he hasn’t posted in awhile. I meant no harm by it.

@adamthecowdog Please give snow a breather, writing and coding is tedious work and asking when updates are coming out is very annoying to the writer because often because they do not know when an update will occur, also a lot of the Authors have busy busy lives and it often gets in the way.
Asking for updates and such like @DisturbedOne mentioned is often looked down on and prohibited because of some of the reason I mentioned. Use link to freshen up on rules —> FAQ - Choice of Games Forum We all need a re-cap once in a while :stuck_out_tongue:

All I ask is to please respect all Authors/Coders and the time and work they put into their wonderful creative stories.(p.s. it has only been 2days since Snoe’s last response)

-Patience is a virtue

No worries sweetnesses…not a real word I know BUT anyway, poetic license.

Adam my man, keep it coolhugs.
I’d hate to disappoint, but truth be told that first section took me bout a month or so to put together. And I tend to have a crowded schedule sadly, so updates will be kinda sorta ‘scant’ since I only get a few hours every otherday to hammer away at this. Day jobs and all that jazz. No worries though I don’t take offense eagerness is hardly a capital offense. Though there’s a fine line there.

SO long story short there may be ‘weeks’ I can’t exactly work on or stop to buzz about online.

That said, your question about ‘romancing’ your imaginary friend. The story is already centered around the ‘connection’ the two will share, irregardless the MC and Ginary are linked eventually hatred or love may brew but consider the Ginary more a sibling than anything, or rather Siamese twin. An incorporeal one. In regard to that relationship there is a TON of friction, especially if said ‘sibling’ is the protective sort or OVER protective sort.

Thanks @DisturbedOne and @RyseAbove, for the understanding by the by.hugs

Found out the ‘hers’ issue that’s been cropping up. DAMN possessive nouns are messing with me.
His and hers
His car
Hers car?
His and Her
Her car

There’s the devil in the details. Something to keep in mind for fellow coders and gender issues, not all male female nouns work both ways. Now androgyn nouns that’s a new ballgame.
Off I go.

I’m guessing you’ll be taking a bit longer fixing that?

I have no idea if I’ll like what happens next or not but it looks pretty fresh.

I’ve fixed what I’ve found so far. And am starting into the next section.

How so?? You’ve got me curious and that’d be my Achilles-heel.

Maybe I’m just worrying over nothing.

The basis is entirely new so I shouldn’t be doubting this at all but I’m already quite familiar (not from personal experience) with mysterious voices, writings by invisible beings, and killer angels (The sadistic glee thing is new though. I’m not counting the statues).

Wait. Do horror flicks and RPGs in which neutrality is the only good count as personal experience?

There’s a reference in there but it’s not ringing a bell sadly.

If you’re looking for a comparison the best parallel I can make is Persona 3 meets Halloween (rob zombie remake)

Oddly enough though this idea is one of my smaller ones. I wanted to see IF I could actually make a successful game before tackling my more grand schemes. So if there’s any major concerns from you or anyone I’m more than happy to hear them.

This being successful is very important to me best to get it right the first time it’ll be easier the second go around.

I prefer Persona 4 over 3 really. I was referencing the main branch SMT titles though.

I normally don’t like slashers but I freaking love Perfect Blue. It had multiple “monsters” with one of them being a glowing almost perma smile version of the main character. Well it’s a bit more surrealism than slasher I guess.
I uh… don’t actually own a copy unfortunately.

What I’ve seen so far has a lot of ways to go right. It also has a number of ways to go wrong but those should be easy to avoid as long as you… just… don’t do what a producer would do.
Well maybe that might be insulting to producers that actually know what they’re doing.

Given what we have so far I think you’re over-analysing and panicking too much. Just let the game develop some more. Feedback can steer it in the right direction then.

been sneakily updating the link file and am up to the point of ‘meeting’ our date.

interspersed with a little blast from the past.
That being said I’d like to get a critique on that particular addition.

I wanted to outline the MC’s rough past a little more and see how well that past and how Ollie pans out as a character. if you’re wondering Ollie is an ‘Escort’ a theif, gutter kid, and former best friend and possible relationship route. One of the fixed gender characters among others I plan on.

And I’ve been playing with many of the variables I’ve set thus far to see how well they track and snuck in a Hallucination, along with lines that mesh with earlier gender and build type choices to see if the sanity and other stats stuck and if I could ‘slip’ certain phrases into or onto paragraphs as they fit into the story.

You have a few cases of gender mismatch and “hers” in the passage for being in the vent with a female angel. You might want to take another pass at the new Ollie and club stuff, you have some broken sentences in there.

While I haven’t met the “date” character yet both the “blast from the past” character and our current best friend seem much more interesting romantic possibilities as there is already a connection there, unless the date is going to accompany us on our adventures, so to speak, I don’t really see anything beyond a casual fling developing there.

Is the imaginary friend gonna be a total d**k and if so can we make friends with it/her/him

Hey, not sure if you were already aware of this, but at the name selection for male characters, there’s no option to choose your own first name, only one for surnames.

To that I’ll plead the fifth. Its a plot point but I wont elaborate until I’m through with that part. I’m evil I know:)
And I’d hate to ruin the surprise.

There’s going to be friction in THAT relationship but how you get along is entirely up to you the player. My goal is to make it difficult to love or hate them, inspire confusion and conflicting feelings. The fun part is going to be how.

Thanks @Ahnyks its hard to catch everything, I’ll fix that tout-suite.
EDIT: fixed it let me know if it didn’t stick

You to @LordOfLA I’ll go through and see what I can do. hugs
