I have known for a long time to backup, backup, and backup. Well I got lazy and have lost the whole inventory system. Now I have to rewrite the whole thing. I have the mind map which will help me put it back together. The code is incomplete but will be quicker then doing it from memory. Still it is going to take me time, will now be Feb. before the bate system is ready to go now.
Document your design.
A new lesson in design for me. I have made a few comment here and there while I was building the game and have a rather large book of notes on the different pieces of the game. I also was using short or abbreviated code for the labels in an effort to reduce the amount of writing I needed to do, the result of all this… a big headache.
I am scraping my time table as I go back and start a rewrite of the whole game. This time I will be using yED and tons of documentation throughout the game. This will be my fourth restart on on the game, sorry to all that are waiting for new content. This project is a monster, the data is Hugh, and I am only one person working on a project that could due with five or more writers lol. I still want to finish this project by the end of the year, but will see how it goes.
Sorry to be a bother but I seem to be unable to play. I’ve tried several times and all of the links load for about 20 min then just freeze, I was just wondering if maybe you were using a certain system thats different than other wips? (has anybody else had this problem? or is it just me?)

Sorry you are having problems playing, I am just using dropbox. I am currently in a rewrite of the whole first part of the game so have not touched the files in some time. What are you trying to play the game on?
The current link is

I am having no issues loading and playing from dropbox. This is a compiled version so should work good. Let me know if you still having a problem. Hope to have the rewrite out before Feb. is over thanks.
Oh so sorry! I was actually just about to say that it worked on an old computer I had stashed away! Sorry for bugging you but it was probably just my laptop. BTW I like the unique layout of the game.
@yagamikuuno
I am happy it worked for you and thanks for the kind words. 
I have always loved mini games within games if they contribute to the progress of the game but can be skipped without hindering you progress.
I have been working on such a feature on and off over the years for this game but have constantly hitting a brickwall due to the nature of CS. Now I finally have developed what I believe is a great balance for the game. Had to bang my head many many times against the dash to figure a way out for the system to work. I only have a small part of the code done but works as hoped. happy dance My brain is fried but in a good way. I will need another week or so but will be looking for six or seven beta testers to try and break it as is for me it is a very very complex code. I am sure some of the gurus out there could have helped but it was so unusually it would have took half a night to explain the concept lol.
