Saturn Update. A new mission into the depths of the sixth planet may now be played, either before or after the “Calypso” chapter. Three paths, 37K words and many new character interactions, not to mention lines and choices added to existing chapters.
Oh, and there are achievements now, but don’t worry about them yet. They’ll only work properly once I export the project to HTML, somewhere in the future. The new battery mechanic works just fine though.
Very fun update! I enjoy this new planet, although I have made a shambles of my build it seems.
When getting a boon from Sauce, is asking for a way to end the screams supposed to look back around to the power choices? Or is it supposed to be an end? Because the choices after that seem to indicate I’ve received some blessing that I haven’t.
I totally just forgot a *goto there. I’ll fix it eventually.
I just finished this demo, and the option to say, “Lisa! You hear to bang Da-xia too?” will never not be funny to me.
Got an error at Saturn line 3065 it is illegal to fall in an else statement before goto. This happens in all choice after we decide whether to attack pirates or meet entity. Do I need a new save?
It is a problem with saves, yes. The old ones use a different control flow than the current build of the game. That said, I’ve recently added a fix that should fix the issue though if you just enter and exit the stats screen, so you could try that.
After playing the demo, I realize I NEED more options to play as an unrepentant asshole MC.
It has never been MORE FUN to make everyone hate/question my choices.
Considering that airlock vs clothes moment the MC can have? Yeah, those moments are hilarious. 
This WIP is fantastic. Such an interesting and creative world you’ve written, as well as such an interesting MC with which to explore it. Even the antagonist is deeply intriguing. Very well done, and I hope to read more soon.
Thank you. I am hoping to get another update, if a small one, done within the next few days.
Easter Update. A new chapter, covering the events right after the player’s second mission, has been uploaded. Although at little over twenty thousand words, the chapter is the shortest one yet, making this update a bit of a joke in terms of volume.
Get it? I’m calling the update a joke because it’s April Fools today… but probably not by the time you’re reading this, writing this chapter took me longer than I thought it would… I’m doing my best, okay?
Weird. This selection is not a *choice command, and implicit control flow is turned on in any case, so this should not be happening. Still, I’ll add a *goto and update the game in just a moment.
Telesto Update. A chapter containing the third and final selectable mission was just uploaded. It’s a merry underwater adventure with the boys (and an octopus) that unlocks new options in the other chapters if completed first, or leads directly into the “final” battle if saved for last. Or it will, once I actually write that battle.
May the 4th be with you. You’ll sure as Cloud need it.
I’m enjoying this one quite a bit! Trying to play as as an android who just wants humans and robots to get along.
Finding Ewald Hammon quite interesting, as well.
I’ve named my android HK-47 lol
I’m absolutely going feral because of this WIP it’s just too good omg
I love everything about it and I think it’s one of my fav so far! I love the world building (I didn’t understand everything because I’m not smart but I will eventually cuz I’ll play through it again) and the characters all feel pretty fleshed out (except Marshall but tbh I’m pretty sure I just didn’t interact a lot with her on my playthrough). I’m really having trouble picking only one RO because they’re all so interesting and I’m not able to reject them, I don’t wanna be mean… i cannot wait for the next update (please take ur time and take care of yourself)! I love the way things are presented isn’t manichean but instead more nuanced and it’s chefs kiss also wisp my beloved if anything happens to u I’ll kill everyone and then myself. Sorry for my ramblings and thanks if u read this till the end! :3
This is maybe a stupid question but why does this option lose you 5% approval with Hadaly? This comes immediately after the scene where Hadaly asks MC to not trust the organics, so I picked this thinking that deflecting and giving an answer that Hadaly knows is false would demonstrate distrust of Marshal while leaving me open to talk about later with Hadaly.
Hadaly is programmed to not particularly like when the MC goes “everything is fine” in regards to the Shriek and all the other flashbacks. You’re probably right that she should interpret that response as deceiving Marshal specifically; I just didn’t think about that one option very deeply.
That makes sense, thank you! I haven’t been picking options like that when it’s just MC and the Saturn crew so that’s probably why I didn’t think of it that way
