Wow, I’m amazed by the response this is getting. I just want to thank everyone who has commented. I’ve been super busy with this awful school project this weekend, and seeing so many encouraging comments really made my day.
@JLBH2000 I’m so happy you like it!
@FairyGodFeather Thanks for the coding tip. I’ll try it out when I update the game. The recruiting missions are when the stats are really going to start getting affected, so after I’ve written more of those, I’m going to go in and start plugging everything in. Also, there will definitely be ill-fated romance, and if you’re really nice, I might even edge it up to bittersweet The song that inspired this game was “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” by the Rolling Stones, so that should give you a hint about the tone most of the romances are going to have.
@JLBH2000 The MC does not have superpowers. You’re the Nick Fury of the group. I’ve always really been a fan of badass normal characters, and the MC’s lack of powers compared to everyone else is a subject that’s going to be explored in the game.
@Aera All of those abilities are things that real Navy SEALs have. Currently, I don’t have any plans for the MC to gain powers, but I’d argue that being one of the best soldiers on the planet and actually being able to get all of the clashing personalities on your team to work together ought to count
@P0Rt3R I’m glad you’re looking forward to more.
@FCA That’s the idea. Anyone playing the beta is going to end up playing out the story more or less chronologically because that’s the order I’m writing it in, but once I have all the content in there you could play it non-linearly. Each of the characters has a piece of the story, and you’ll be able to talk to them in any order. Things will also play out differently or with additional bonus scenes depending on the order you do things.
@Marius I’m glad you’re hooked, I’ll have to work hard to update soon.
@Aquila Glad you like it!
@TrollHuntertheThird You are too sweet! I’m glad you think it’s edgy. I really wanted to try and do something a little different with this game.
@Chriswa27 I’m trying to avoid having a lot of exposition in the story, so my goal is to try and work in a lot of the MC/world background more organically into conversations and events. There will be a choice about why the MC joined the SEALs, but it’ll come up during a later conversation with one of the characters.
@Noctrunal_Stillness I’m glad you’re looking forward to more, I’m looking forward to writing more
@Beezlebub I’m glad you’re a fan.
@HomicidialFrog Yup, the true ending of ME3 is that Commander Shepard goes back in time and joins a team of superheroes
