Hi Bootsykk, I will add in gender option as per your request =)

1.“He looks at you with eyes of fury, reminding you the time he’s beaten you once before,” should either be 1) “of the time he beat you once before” or 2) “of the times he’s beaten you”

2."“Don’t worry, I’ll make this quick and painful, just like the old times.” " (personal preference) "just like the old days or “just like old times” would sound better

“I left jab his stomach as hard as I could
I knee him in the stomach
I kick him in the stomach”
these three choices had absolutely no affect on the story. you might want to remove them, as otherwise people may complain about “fake choices”

4.“Congradulations” should be congratulations

5.“Maxwell said as he walks pass you.” should be says and past or as he passes

6."“I expect nothing less on your field performance initiate.” while he kept walking" should be “I expect nothing less on your field performance initiate” He says as he walks away

7.“Moonshine Plasma Sniper Rifle: Moonshine is a high quality sniper rifle with immense zoom capability. It is extremely useful in long range support. It’s also completely silent, on the downside, it holds only 3 rounds of compressed plasma with a 5 seconds cool down between”

(personal preference) I’m not sure of what “immense zoom capability” entails(specifically that is), but there are sniper rifles currently in existence that are WAY better than you make this out to be. first off a 5 second cool down makes this gun practically useless if you’re not preforming an assassination, secondly the way you describe it’s ammo capacity makes it seem like it only holds 3 shots,and if thats the case then this gun(again)is pathetic

take for instance the AS50: it’s semi-automatic with a rate of fire of 5 shots in 1.6 seconds, an effective range of 1500 meters and 5 round detachable magazines.(there are similar guns in existence that are silent, but I didn’t want to spend the whole day on wikipedia/google.

you say that humanity is at the pinnacle of technology, so why are the snipers worse
PS. i get that it fires plasma, but it would NOT be worth the trade.

8."You turn off the computer, and goes to bed"should be go

9.“Finally forced yourself out of bed,” should be You finally or Finally you force

10.“The quick moving first person shooter games you play helped” should either be played or help

this was cool. I look forward to updates.

Awesome! Looking forward to it. :smiley:

Thanks, I’ll get on fixing these issues right away, I just wish IDE had spell check feature, half of the story I wrote at 2am, so I’m not surprised I made so many mistakes. Regarding the sniper rifle, I just didn’t want to make it over powered lol, I guess this came from playing games that any weapon should have some downside to it, perhaps I made it too weak, I will make some changes to the description. Thanks again !

Loved it so far like the concept and can’t wait to see more!! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes::grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Thanks, I just made another update on the game, slightly more content now and the story progresses a tiny bit more. Please be patient with me for the first mission, I want to plan the script out properly first and produce a high quality story rather than rushing it. =)

pretty nice! Still need to fix a few minor spelling and grammar errors, but they aren’t that noticeable. One of the ones I caught that hasn’t been mentioned is in the technology screen of the laptop - the cloaking device is spelled “clocking device”.

Take your time though! Looking forward to the first mission!

thank you so much for spotting the mistake Bootsykk, it’s already fixed as i’m typing this =)

My next update will include a save point as the story is getting quite long.

Major update: the game now contains a complex puzzle section within the mission.

Please try not to take this the wrong way, this game needs a lot of work. I would suggest holding back on submitting it for at least a while. There are lots of grammar and spelling errors and several really stilted lines of dialogue. The search for the code being totally random means it’s just a crap shoot of picking the same things until the RNG decides to let you find the number before the guards find you… The fact that you then actually have to remember the number and type it in is totally unnecessary and irritating. I didn’t get past that point.

Thank you for the input, as for the lots of grammar and spelling errors you’ve found, I would greatly appreciated if you actually point out where some of them are. I am consistently making improvements to dialogue as well before submission. The game is far from perfect I know, but I am working diligently on it daily. As for entering the code manually after you’ve found it, I purposely put that in to create more user involvement. I’m sorry you find it irritating, but why not just go read a book if you don’t like the option of typing choices manually? This is a choice game after all.

Actually, I could, but that takes some effort on my part, and you’d probably just take it as a personal insult and attack me like every other time I’ve posted in this thread. I have no desire to be insulted for my efforts. They aren’t hard to spot at all, so good luck.

While I appreciate your utmost helpful guidance, I must admit my intelligence is inadequate to comprehend your advice. I urge you to provide your great insight some place else where it might be more understood.

Typos

With the ring of the bell, the trial battle begins, Todd launches himself at you like a catapult. For a split moment, you were *suprised by how such a large mass is able to move at such speed.

I stand my ground firmly, ready to defend myself with the oncoming *assult.

It’s the year 2058, mankind has reached near the *pinicle of human technology.

Normally, a person would be startled by her, but you have gotten used to Catherine’s sneaky ways, her tiny yet beautiful thin stature allows her to *accel in stealth.

Catherine looks over to the table where Todd is sitting. You look up too, and *meets Todd’s eyes,

Those that lost the graduation battle do not *recieve an augmentation as reward.

As you sat down to eat with Catherine, you wondered what augmentation she *choose.

“I picked the leg enhancement, focusing on what I’m already good at.” As she gulps down her food, as graceful and *plesant to look at, Catherine can still eat like a pig, that’s something you could never get used to.

“What’s up guys?” Felix and Robby *joins our table.

Robby on the other hand, is a bit older than the rest of us, he’s been on *a several missions already, but you wouldn’t call him a veteran yet.

This reminds you that you should *probobly go over the archives regarding the current conflicts and gears to better prepare yourself for your first real mission in 2 days time.

And a bunch more my friend, go through it with a spellchecker. Otherwise the game idea is solid
