Team Zero (WIP)

Man, I haven’t looked at this in too long. Apparently I missed an update or two.

I’m consistently impressed with your dialog and characterization. I wasn’t expecting to like Owen, but he’s actually my favorite teammate so far. I love how his character is a contrast of deviousness, badassery and carefree honesty. I particularly liked the conversation in his bedroom where he’s reading Watership Down – I loved to hear his opinion of the others. (It helps that I imagine him looking like Jason Statham.)

I totally should have called the base The Normandy. All I could think of was “Zero Command.”

Wonderfully written and very inspiring, @Dolphinzgirl.

Hmm… Will we have the chance to name a chopper or a boat? I’d like to name the boat the USS Valkyrie after a certain ship that held a certain squad

Lol @God_of_Demonz now I want to also

Sorry for being late in this but thank you @ FairyGodfeather!! >:D< Free hugs!!!

*claps very loudly* Well done Messere @trollhunterthethird well done

I’m exciting. When I get to kiss Damon my life will be complete.

@CrimsonRose301 That was a joke.

@Storm Thanks!

@stsword I thought about including an option to ask them about yourself, but it just seemed like it would make the coding too complicated to get their responses as reactive as I would like. I’m adding a lot of variables as I go though, so it might be something I revisit later.

@JTAL I probably won’t put in an option there, but I might go and make a whole separate conversation node to talk to Owen about the nicknames.

@FairyGodfeather I can certainly add a list of suggested base names.

@ceecrab Thanks so much for all your kinds words :slight_smile:

You laid out how to get the kiss pretty much perfectly. Just pick the flirty response after the “appropriate reward” bit, and you’re there.

@EveryoneWhoNamedTheBaseNormandy Now I feel really silly for not even thinking of that. Right now the default name in the coding is “The Watchtower,” but I might have to change that now :wink:

@trollhunterthethird Glad you liked it. I was in the mood to write something romance-y, and I got to that part when I was writing, and I was like “there is only one way Owen would ever respond to a question like that.”

@Saint_Nicholas Yay! I’m glad Owen has been so well-received. It took me forever to figure out who he really was, but I really like the way he’s turned out. Plus, it’s refreshing to write a character who’s as straightforward with the PC as Owen is, unlike some other characters I could mention (cough Damon cough).

@God_of_Demonz Not now, possibly later. As it stands now, the team is new enough that they don’t really have a lot of dedicated equipment yet.

@R3dSt1ng You’ll have to wait a bit to kiss Damon, but I’ll try to make sure it’s worth the wait.

@Dolphinzgirl - Now, why do I think “EDI” after reading your first line in the response above? :-?

I don’t mind nicknames, it’s just fun to keep asking him to stop calling me that. If I could I’d nickname him Luv, Cuddles, Carebear or something… :))

I named the base Zero lol.

I named the base HQ

I named as mentioned before The Fortress but I was thinking of base zero at first

Jump Zero perhaps?

@Saint_Nicholas That’s what I also ended up calling the base, and stranger still before That I thought of calling it Sword command which was a beach in Normandy during D-day.

I named the base the first thing that popped into my head, Hypatia…

Come to think of it, people name asteroids and craters after fifth century female mathematicians, not military bases :stuck_out_tongue:

@JTAL Poor Owen, getting a taste of his own medicine.

@Dolphinzgirl - Well, in a for a nickname, in for a pun! :-" (I tend to nickname people too, so…)

This is the most excited I’ve been about a new choice game in quite a while. I love that your writing style is descriptive enough to give a clear mental picture without become tedious to read. The characters are all interesting and well written, and I really look forward to seeing how it all plays out. Baah, excitement. :smiley:

Oh-oh-oh. I’m the whole story/dialouge with Kat screams the Mama Bear trope.

If this terrorist is such a threat why are we so under-equipped? Will the options to upgrade the base/training be like LoW where you upgrade your party between missions?

@Scrivener That is inspired. Well done.
