Edited Title:
Hello COG forum users! For those that don’t know me I am Maxmansung, intermitant user of these forums. I’ve been pretty inactive for the past half year or so working on a university project but now I’m back and most likely annoying you in your WIP ideas (sorry…)
Now my project is back on track and I need your help -
I’m currently working on a game in ChoiceScript called The Followers and would really appreciate some help with feedback. The game itself will most likely span 160,000 words overall.
The game is now around 75,000 words in length and has multiple branches that you can head down although I don’t know how many people will find. I would be interested in running a poll to see what ending people got on their first playthrough.
Please let me know what you think, criticism is greatly appreciated so please don’t be afraid.
Those that make it to the end of the main part, I need your help checking half of the final half of chapter 3 (the branches mean that the game expands a lot in that chapter)
Now, follow this link to create a public folder. Note: Don’t create a public folder manually. If you did already, rename it to something else before clicking the link. https://www.dropbox.com/enable_public_folder7
Finally, copy your web folder to the newly created public folder. That’s it! Carry on writing your book from it’s new location.
Sharing your game:
To let other people play your game, find your index.html file (public/web/mygame/index.html)
Right-click the file and find the option ‘copy public link’. This may be listed separately, or might be hidden in a ‘dropbox’ sub menu. Either way, left-click it.
Now, open a browser and paste the weblink. Your game will begin. Alternatively, you can paste the link in an email to send to a friend.
Nope doesn’t work all it says that its either moved or deleted. And heck ya ill be interested to your story, I’m open to read anyone’s story and help them critique it.
Sooo… having now played through the game a few times since its posted I’ve noticed a few spelling mistakes, a few grammar errors but mostly that the first few pages arent as interesting as they need to be and some pages don’t flow very well…
Maybe it’s a bit early for playtesting but hopefully will be able to give me an idea of if the concept is even worth the effort
I find the concept intriguing. The fact that you start out as, well a cloud of dust is pretty cool, which only adds on to the fact that you can progress on becoming a greater being(don’t know if that’s the correct word for it, but oh well).
It’s a refreshing idea… I will make sure to follow this WIP as it progresses.
Thanks for your response. That’s an interesting point about the terminology used for “god”. It may be better for me to use a term like “Supreme being” or “higher power” possibly.
I’m glad you enjoyed the concept. Any major issues you’ve found with the current structure or style?
I chose to be attached to the floating wood, and got a bit confused. Is the first human you meet on the boat, or in the water, and why are they shot with an arrow? Also, after I get them to believe in me, they said it said they were separated from a hunting party. At sea?
“Sitting by your stream you watch as the small animals pass by. A stream is an interesting place to see such things and helps slow the madness that all spirits eventually succumb to.”
Finally… You have no idea… I’ve been waiting 2 years for a Choice of Gods game to come out. Ever since the poll they had where they asked the next game we would want to see. And now? It’s here. :’) Thank you my friend… Thank you.
Played the demo… it is very interesting and original too. The writing is spot on and as a reader it actually drew me in. I would love to see this demo released, so good luck ill be waiting for an update
