Wait. Ball? Does the story progress into london?? It kept glitching for me after it said “whatever happens this season wont be boring.” So i assumed that was the end, gonna have to try again then.

There’s just the prologue but there are two routes. You can choose the other route at the end of the character description part - there’s the jilted route and a saving the family from destitution route, which has a country ball scene.
Thank you! I’ll work hard on the next chapter.

First of, i liked what i read so far. Always been a fan of works that play in the era of the regency or anything close to it, it was such an interesting era, so i am excited to see what else the mc will go through and how you plan to show the era etc.
Two things tho.
1: Are any things set for the mc, like i things that we don’t know, cause i noticed that the mc has a somewhat “set” personality and i was now curious if there are more things regarding our families background etc.?
2: Do you plan to let us experience of how the ros look visually through our first meeting with them, or could you maybe give us a short physical description of them? Maybe in the intro post here on the forum?

Hmm, I actually meant to write the MC as more of a blank slate, I guess I need to work on that. I do plan to give the MC more character options, and more choices in conversation in the next chapters though. This was just really a prologue to set the scene.
I was definitely going to describe the RO’s in chapter one, but I can do that in the intro post too - tomorrow, because I’m off to bed, it’s 11PM where I am lol. I kept it deliberately short because I don’t want to expand on their personalities, since each one of them has their own arc, and some of it could spoil the plot.

I enjoyed the WIP. There is so much customization and reactions.
Regency era is refreshing for me after reading fantasy or sci fi all the time.

Hi! Great start, and I love to see more historical fiction in this space.
Feedback:
After MC feels very strongly (in tears possibly, numb, hysteric, either way getting comforted by his mum) because (regardless of choice) his fiance whom he loved left him for another man I can now choose he’s gay and the choice suggests he never loved her. That’s a little odd. And I also noticed how you’ve said you can be straight or gay - but allowing for bisexuality could solve this problem

Good point. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
I did play through the gay MC route a few times to try and iron out problems but it didn’t even occur to my goldfish brain that the dramatics before that would be odd (I would be awful at quality control.) I’ll try to wrangle with that problem tomorrow.
And bisexuality will come up in Chapter One.

I read “duet your rivals” and had to do a double take. 
This looks very interesting.

Is there only Chapter One available on cogdemos right now? I tried to go to the next chapter and it just froze and wouldn’t let me….(I’m playing the route where my MC is male and gay)

According to the author, the demo is just the prologue for the moment!

There’s only the prologue as erinrae26381 says. I’m going to be fixing errors, (and more importantly rewriting slightly for the gay route) for the next two hours (ignoring my work lol). I’ll try to address the issue where it doesn’t show the ending screen properly. I’m very dumb with coding so wish me luck.
Thank you very much.
We’ll get to that, promise. I don’t want to stuff too much information into the prologue.

It’s easy, you have scenes in your scene list in startup that don’t have files. If you take those scenes out of the list, you should get the ending screen properly. (If you don’t, use *ending.)

Ah! Thank you! You’ve saved me hours of confusion. I thought it may be because I tried to integrate the two different paths by using a *goto, to go to the end. This is much easier to address.
Edit: I’ve deleted the other scenes and re-uploaded the startup file. Hopefully it’ll show the ending screen now. I will test it when I’m done rewriting.

Noticed a minor bug, picking sports as your specialty (as a female character, don’t know if it matters) doesn’t raise your athleticism, despite the code saying it should.
Anyway, pretty interested by this project. It certainly sounds ambitious, but I’m liking the writing so far, and I’m really curious to see how this will all shape up. Keep up the good work!
