Supra Humanum (WIP - Minor update 4/2/18 - Starting Chapter 2)

You are the man and a great asset to the land of Supra Humanum. I grant you the title of Chief Science Officer and lead support for my personal mercenary group. :slight_smile:

Wait, so you’re telling that we can die in this demo? Oh god, I’m ready to make mistakes.

I estimate the 4th chapter will contain the next batch of missions. Chances of death will go up then. Should I feel sadistic, I will find a way to make it happen earier. :wink:

Some typos.
It’s actually like a veeerryyy minor typos (compared to the verbosity :sweat_smile:) but I think it’ll be a worthwhile to fix it?

My OCD is triggered every time there’re missing commas or double-vowels (and stuffs alike) :sweat_smile:

1

1
I believe in this case, ā€œmenā€ is more suited than ā€œman.ā€
And also, you’re missing a comma on ā€œMars, Luna and Europa.ā€

2

2
Another man.

3

7
For Dove’s musical tone, I think a tilde ā€œ~ā€ is better than ā€œi-ā€

4

This time, I think it’s not men/man. It should be human?

5

6
Just as the pic says.

Now here we are our first fictional machine!
I think the machine’s name deserve a capitalization, tho :thinking:

7


Poi


And thus the typo report is ended.

Oh, love me another sci-fi story :hugs:
My brain is picturing my MC as wearing a cargo trouser with Sam’s blue-gray light-ceramic-armor from Ghost Recon :laughing:
:zap: :zap: :gun: :sunglasses:


BTW, will you try to incorporate CJW’s in-game saving plug-in (mod)?
It’s really easy to do it for the dashingdon version, unless you want to put in on your local PC version as well :thinking:

Taken from: Man Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster

a (1) : an individual human; especially : an adult male human (2) : a man belonging to a particular category (as by birth, residence, membership, or occupation) —usually used in combination councilman (3) : husband I now pronounce you man and wife. (4) : lover He was her man.

b : the human race : humankind the history of man

Some (if not all) of those mentions of ā€œmanā€ is a reference to humanity as a whole. If it is causing confusion, I could use some synonyms for variety but I don’t think I’ll totally be rid of them.

Good catch on the comma. Fixed that one. I’ve never encountered the tilde use, where did you learn that rule?

Wife caught #5 but I haven’t updated the file yet. Good job though.
#6 - It’s not a specific object. If it was like: Raptor’s rapturous air purifier, that would warrant a capital. However I wouldn’t capitalize something like ā€œair purifier.ā€ Someone can correct me if I’m wrong.
#7 - Fixed, thanks!

Whew, thanks for keeping me on the straight and narrow.

Will you accept black and gray for now? The armor colors will change depending on the mission locale.

That is a ā€œquality of lifeā€ update that I do intend to make at some point. I think right now my goal is to get the content for chapter 1 complete. Then I’ll take a break to work on stat page and some of the utility of the game before I proceed to chapter 2.

Actually, all you need to do is to put
*sm_init [random text (preferrably the WIP's title)] | 3
on your startup.txt (preferrably below the *create list)

And check the :ballot_box_with_check: ā€œUse CJW’s smPluginMenuAddon?ā€ under ā€œedit game detailsā€ on dashingdon.com


Well, as long as it’s black…
Actually, I don’t even care if I have to use my pajamas while doing hi-tech stuff on an assassination mission :laughing:


About men/man/human thingy, I’m actually not a native English myself, so I can’t really say much about that :slightly_frowning_face:
I just simply did a quick, simple google search and I thought it was the norm if ā€œmanā€ = 1 :running_man: while ā€œmenā€ = a group :running_man: :running_man:
Sorry if I sounded like a smartass :sweat_smile:


And about the oxygen scrubber, I actually wanted to emphasize the idea that ā€œoxygen scrubber is a future-tech.ā€
With current writing, I thought that ā€œoxygen scrubberā€ and ā€œa large metal cubeā€ is 2 different things :thinking:

Maybe, put an adverb clause on that sentence?


About the tilde, it’s actually just my writing rule. There’s no actual rulebook that mentioned the use of tilde like what I’ve mentioned :sweat_smile:

That’s all there is to it? Well then…

If you use quicktest, you must remove the save code or it will be detected as an error.

Well, that is good to know. Thank you. :slight_smile:

Quicktest is for weaklings. True coder will play all possible paths manually :skull:

But then the players would have errors. Can’t let them feeling unsatisfied. :wink:

But what if the story is 100k above words?

I’ll just leave that here. I’ll also give you a conundrum: Would you rather I give you new content or play with my game with that same period of time?

How dare you quoted the same quotes on two different posts!
Lord Coder isn’t happy with your doings. :skull:

(Actually, yep. Manual testing is what I do exactly on my WIP. We’ll see if I reached that 100k milestone)


Umm… :point_up:

I’m not sure if I understand that phrase, sir.

It is the concept of opportunity cost. I can spend my time debugging or I can spend my time writing my upcoming fight scene. I can’t do both simultaneously.

Ah. I can see what you mean, now.

The demo is pretty short as is, and I haven’t witnessed any game breaking bugs so far. I’d like to vote for the fight scene, please. :slightly_smiling_face::raised_hand:

As long as the bugs dont break the game, i vote you spend time on the fight scene

You know I’m gonna say fix the non existent game breaking bugs, because that’s the exact OPPOSITE of what other people want

The programmer in me demands that I do a LOT of testing before I send a product out. So, I did a lot of troubleshooting before I let it go.

I know it’s short, I just wanted to whet your appetites. I intend to take you to the end of the chapter (however long that takes me) for the next update.

Dear Lord, I’m sounding like George R.R. Martin…
