Yup. It works now. Youāre welcome.
Iāll run a session today. I couldnāt sleep so I have an additional four hours of āfree timeā.
Fixed. Thatās one to chalk up to me, for whatever reason, not thinking percentages worked on opposing stats. It should be fine now!

There is a place IRL called Capetown, lol.
This is weird, reference to SA places. XD

Iām still playing my session but I took it that the UN took over the city.
Thanks! Iāll definitely buy this game, itās very good.
Except for romances. Felt a little bit empty.
I love superhero games and Iāve played a few from this forum. While the characters are distinguishable enough, the story felt a bit bland. I made me feel like Ćāve seen all this beforeā. There were a few major plot moments that reminded me of other CoG games (Best of Us and Heroes Rise mostly). This made me sad for I believe this story has potential but as it is now I find it to be too much like other games that exist already.
So while I liked playing the game, the story simply left me unimpressed. Perhaps the whole superhero genre suffers from trope abuse and your game happened to be unfortunate enough to make me realise it (and got caught in the crossfire)ā¦
Dawn and Alanās death was sad but I predicted it before it happened, it was exactly like the āunfortunate chilhood friendā trope.
Courserās bertayal came as no surprise either, the foreshadowing for Anima and Blueshift was so obvious that it had to be someone else. This is classic tactic, every dectective pretty much works this way. Suspect one through most of the game but it turns out to be the one you did not suspect at all.
Then there is Sentinel, who felt like a Rebellion (Heroes Rise) expy to me. āYour childhood superhero icon who seems nice but actually betrays you in the end.ā Sounds familiar, no? Aurora (Bes of Us) also felt very similar to Sentinal, they have the same powerset and both are a government icon who donāt want change (stuck in the old ways). The whole āclassic superhero icon gone madā thing is the same with all three of the heroes.
Anima felt like a Processor expy as well, but Adaās background is different so I am neutral about this one.
I was actually hoping for a surprise reveal in which Sentinel was a good hero and genuinely liked you, with your team actually being trustworthy and Exarch not going on a killing spree i the epilogue. It all felt very generic and predictable.

I romanced Chevalier and got a reward stating āAll-Americanā?
Heās British in his bio, no?
He was born in London but I thought raised in New York?
The whole superhero genre does suffer from trope abuse. Thereās a lot of really common elements, and I donāt think following those elements, on its own, are a bad thing. If anything a person playing a superhero game likely wants for it to be like in the comics and movies. They want to play that sort of character and be plunged right into the action.

Jeezā¦ this is amazing!
Are you going to be able to choose your power at some point?
I am almost finished with my first read/play through and am so angry that work is interfering with me finishing it. In other words, amazing job!

ok. Great so far but I have found a major continuity error.
[spoiler] it was during the mercenary fightā¦ i used my power to drain his spear and then we made a dealā¦ info in 48 hours.
Then in the debriefing it says:
[quote] āWe beat Maekir team back, got them on the run - all except Jotun, who was winning his duel with me. Anima stepped in, tried to kill him.ā
Aegis nods, a slow motion of her head. Animaās brutality wasnāt surprising.
āBut we managed to stop her before she could finish him off.ā
You can feel the collective sigh of relief.
[/quote]
which is not what happened. At all. Either a goto command is screwed up or Iām missing something fiercely. [/spoiler]
Edit 2: Another major continuity error:
I decided to go up and confront Sentinel aloneā¦ I chose: āDonāt make me ask againā and so she sprung into action but somehow my team was warped up with me and in the room fighting with me.
Alan seems to be having gender problems on the camping trip:
āCan I ask you something?ā Alan says, about thirty minutes later. He is looking far more relaxed, although still not like her usual self.
In addition, there are quite a few places where you use ātheyā when a gendered pronoun might make sense. (Also, if youāre already switching pronouns, it shouldnāt be too difficult to fit in a non-binary option as @Bagelthief suggested. You could use *input_text to let players define their own pronouns, if you donāt know which ones to use.)
And this, in the final battle:
āYou think I hate you, donāt know, HeroName?ā
I assume this should be ādonāt youā
Also, my MC really does know how to choose his boyfriends: one dead, one a traitor; itās almost enough to turn him straight.

Well, holy shit. This WIP is the best Iāve seen in ages. Iām still heartbroken over the fate of alan and damian, those two turned out to be quite the twist. So far, all spelling and continuity errors I ran into have been pointed out, but Iāve only had a single playthrough and for 20 or so achievements. So far this is a promising start for a series.
