UnNatural Season Two Released 4th May 23

This is a Silver Cross Incorporated thing so season two:-)

Edit: the fact finding bit happens before cases and what info you get prior to going on the case.

DUDE!!! :heart_eyes: That’s an ECXELLENT idea! :+1::+1::+1:

So each mission potentially has all these levels or different missions have different levels but all start with fact finding?

Like in season one you get a choice of three cases you pick one and you get basic info about what they know but you also get a threat level related to that info. Putting money into the right places can improve your intelligence your team gathered before you get the case. Which means more detailed info to decide on a case and updated threat levels.

Just fixing a loop then will upload an update so people can see the d and d thing whilst I begin work on the first of the three cases.

Edit: gonna have to skip the randomness for locations during the d and d game. Choicescript really doesn’t like it.

Don’t know if it was already reported but my char is dating nobody

kinda funny how you open the door to nobody and then nobody is talking to you.

:fox_face:

Ah ā€œNobodyā€ is the placeholder to let the game you didn’t romance anyone it shouldn’t actually show up in the text. When did it say that?

edit: ah you added a picture I’ll check the code in a minute!

Mind if I ask how get wolf_status = 1?
Or is not not supposed to be able to for the time being?

:fox_face:

EDIT

In Denise’s case it

Neither Denise nor Jack show in death and ro list

That particular stat refers to a character called Denise, you need to pick you got into Beta unit or refers to Jack if you got into Alpha. They have to be alive for it to be 1

edit: Fixed the Nobody issue now. Still having issues with a loop but have updated the files anyway as I’m heading off to bed now and maybe someone can find the point that loops while I’m asleep, I’m not sure its even an actual loop it passes quicktest but randomtest sometimes errors on an earlier choice so could be another cause or something,

Got that when I went to roll the dice.

Also, when interviewing Cassandra brown, I got all Avery’s answers.

Plus, Denise was not a romance option in the recap anymore, despite being able to take her on missions after that.

Finally,

Still not fixed in the board game.

Thanks. Been kind of lost in trying to unravel the code for the randomness causing randomtest to freeze. I’ll get them fixed later.

edit: Looking at the question code it should have worked fine your answers should change for either Cassandra, Jennifer and if neither you should get Avery. and the variable who determines that is set to the correct people. Still looking into it.

edit 2: Scratch that I found the issue. It didn’t check if the variable was set ā€œCassandraā€ it was checking for ā€œCassandaā€ I’m a muppet. I’ll update the file now although now trying to fix this loop bit.

Finally the Swamps and Snakes segment which has taken about three rewrites once completely. I also had to add some failsafe choices for two that seemed to run out of options during randomtest. So please tell me if you have to use the options [Bug Fix Temporary] on the end.

I will be writing the cases for episode three later today and tomorrow.

When…when will we get to meet the Azure RO?

Charlie appears in Either Episode Four or five

Never had to use the bug fix, did notice that even a tie will declare us the winner though. Which doesn’t seem right.


Lakota decided to crash my date,… I mean case, uninvited again. Gosh darn it Lakota, stop doing that!

Intro for spare parts, why am I acting like Arthur is still the boss in this case? Can’t remember, but seems like I reported to him after this case as well, weird. I chose to wait and catch them in the act, if that helps.

I liked the changes you made to Swamps and Snakes picking the figure and directions was more fun for me and saved you the headache of dealing with the random number generator. You’re going to have to tell me where you hid all the good loot though.

Completely forgot, but don’t you think that the holidays with our family would be a perfect scene to introduce our MC’s RO to our family?

That is odd. You have 3 wins and 3 losses but there are only 5 events. Double checked and I had it coded to give a win to both player and partner in the event of a draw it fixed a previous issue. The code is set up to go to the winner/loser scene as soon as either gets to 3 wins with the player option first.

What will be your end goal when you are finished with your story

End goal? Do you mean? After this game will probably work on a different IP then go on to season 3

Hey, so I caught a bug or coding error possibly, anyways when you accept one of the missions and this is in the case of the MC keeping their shade powers and the MC goes to alter the contract for more power even though they start off with a full humanity bar it still drops down to 1% no matter what percent is picked to give up. If this has already pointed out I apologize.

@Amanda I wonder if this has anything to do with selecting ā€œdream of darker thingsā€ā€¦ Did you select that by any chance when asked about your nightmares?

I’ve done the really dark, messed up Shade path and plummeting humanity can lead to… creeeeeeeeeeeeepy outcomes (thanks for the nightmares @Nocturnal_Stillness :kissing_heart:) … 1% sounds pretty bad tho… lol

Btw, Swamps and Snakes has evolved into a GREAT in-game experience. Many MANY thanks for the tabletop RPG tribute. Unnatural is just beyond fun to play- again, and again… and again… x infinity. :purple_heart:

Strange it shouldn’t drop THAT much especially considering you start season 2 with 100% humanity due to not carrying over your character yet. I’ll look into it.

edit: I’ve recreated that bug it’s set to -25 so no clue why it reduces it to 1… this requires further investigation.

edit 2: Found the issue, something set up to correct humanity if it went higher than 100 was set up incorrectly. Should be fixed now.

@NightieMe

You are welcome I’ll happily share my nightmares and yes I’m pleased with how Swamps and Snakes turned out.
