RoseQueenKamijo- You are welcome. I am always pleased to lend other people inspiration. Now I just have to finish the story. Or begin to finish it as the case may be.
Chapter seven is nearly debugged. Randomtest has now been chewing on the program for over an hour and I’m fairly certain that it has done all it can to flush out the bugs. I will take a look in the morning to confirm.
Yay! I’m excited to read this again! x3
Keep up the good work!
sorry double post…
I’ve been waiting for Chapter 7 for so long, can’t wait to play! :-bd
A minor miracle occurred. I ran randomtest so many times that it cleared out the autotest bug that had been hounding me and that sped things up nicely. Chapter seven awaits. More plot, less romance; at least this time around.
Tell me what you think.
YESS. WILL PLAY NOW.
@AllenGies another brilliant chapter! I particularly liked being able to tell the Indian-slayers/hunters about the Indians in green deer valley- very sneaky! I think now there are so many choices that extra character-building stats could be added in, like in CotV. It seems that in the future there may be another Hartigan encounter- can we finally kill him or will he escape yet again? Also, I tried a play-through letting Caraway’s leg fall off- the scene in the canyon is my favourite so far, even if it does take you to the… less diplomatic solution. Thanks for all the added content!
I loved it! There’s nothing I would want to change about it. \m/ it toped my expectations, can’t wait for more.
Great chapter!
A few bugs, there are two options I found that don’t grey out after choosing them. First is the comment on the Indians not shoeing their horses, and the second I can’t remember but I’ll find it next playthrough.
Oh and Caraway’s name isn’t properly capitalized towards the end of Chapter 7.
Redgrave- The Green Deer Valley thing just sort of happened. If they’re looking for Indians, well…
You mentioned extra Character building stats? What kind of stats? I’m not familiar with CotV.
And yes, Hartigan will be seen again if he was not killed or captured in Chapter seven.
Sunbean- Ah, excellent. Things to fix. I apparently missed a *disable_reuse entry or two. And it’ll be easy to search for a miss-capitalization for Caraway.
The second was is when Carrie’s dad tells his joke about having nice weather, the “you didn’t start a fire” doesn’t grey out
@AllenGies CotV uses stats like Compassion/Cruelty, Anachronism/Rationalism, Communalism/Independence and (I think) one other. Some form of stats like those could be interesting for the player, if only to see how they are getting along with being cruel!
In the scene with Wong Dai Choi, the Chinese merchant, halfway through it when he shows me medicine, his name changed into Wong Fat Liu…
Is there any particular benefit to keeping Carson’s herd and not selling 'em?
will there ever be an actual working save feature?

Many decades later, scholars and historians stumble upon it and readily draw it forth into the public eye, shedding light both on the workings of post civil-war government, the Presidency and Americana in general. Two legend points awarded.

In the early twenty-first century, as those records are converted to a digital format, your correspondence peaks historical interest in the Federal Marshal system and the Old West.

It was well known that Marshal Madara Uchiha never took a bribe, despite numerous offers over the years. Indeed, a hundred years down the line people in Nevada sometimes say they want to make a Madara’s bargain when integrity is what matters. One Legend point awarded.
The incident at the Evening Star is an infamous one, not merely for your confrontation of the man claiming to be Roger Steele, but the carnage that came after. Long remembered in Nevada, the event makes its way into law enforcement legend as how not to control a crowd during an emergency. One legend point awarded.
The Six Horn lodge has many great tales, and among them is the day they met Marshal Uchiha Madara. For when they were in need, you were there to help see them through to the safety of Green Deer valley. Two Legend points awarded.

Jane Forester lived as a man most of her life. She had to in order to first a Sheriff and then later a Marshal in the Oregon counties. Only when she sought to run for high office did her gender become revealed, and even that was not enough to stop her for long. Indeed, the people of Oregon embraced the heroic law-giver who quelled all sorts of troubles through cunning, tact and the occasional sensational shoot-out.
In her memoirs she credits an early meeting with Marshal Uchiha, though the details are fuzzy about where or when this occurred. Indeed, she preferred to dwell upon an odd pair of boots she wore at the time. A pair that briefly earned her the name ‘Little Boots’. Three Legend points awarded.
There are two additional variations to your tale that clearly never happened. Six Legend points removed.
Your deeds throughout Lander Country too numerous for even your enemies to deny. Nevada newspapers, first-hand accounts and more than a few books trumpet the life and times of Uchiha Madara. Eventually Hollywood takes a turn at your unlikely exploits, though usually only as a minor character; a thing to which many a scholar from Nevada readily scoffs.
Hmm, I don’t think I’m doing a great job of getting Carrie’s dad to like me, I’m dating his daughter, shot most of his gang foiling their robbery, and then killed Snake in hand to hand combat Oops.
