Voiceless: A Siren's Song (WIP) : Updated 09/12/2024

Thank you so much for your comment! I’ve been really working on making the family dynamic more fleshed out. And yes! I forgot to end the story at the end of chapter one since chapter two and three are kind of just rough drafts right now.

When it’s time to help out before heading to sea (storing food, sorting the maps, etc) I get to choose all the options which after checking the code is not supposed to be like that then after trying to select the last option after choosing everything else I get an error and can’t proceed. I think it’s because you forgot to add preptrip +1 value to the choices so that it proceed with the story when preptrip is = 2?

You’re so right! I didn’t even notice that. I just fixed it on my end and i’ll update everything with my next update!

Thank you!

UPDATE!!

Just wanted to give a small update within a big chunk of time. I have been working diligently on chapter two coding, which turned out to be alot more difficult than expected. I feel as though I have little to show for the amount of time spent on it, BUT what I have written and coded should now be updated in dashingdon.

Other than just wanted to give a thank you for everyone who has read or is reading Voiceless <3

See you soon!

Will you be adding the save slots soon?

Oops. Thanks for the message! Whenever I test the coding I have to delete the code for the save slots so I guess I forgot to add the code back in. I will do that shortly!

Found a bug when we can pick if we are listening or looking wistfully at the ocean

chaptertwo line 658: It is illegal to fall out of a *choice statement; you must *goto or *finish before the end of the indented block.

Small Update!

I have finished coding Chapter Two, now I just need to fill in all the writing that goes along with that. Ha ha ha…

I finished the second draft of the sea trip, I know it still needs a lot of work, but I am planning on completely finishing it by the end of next week.

I finished the first branch of exploring the island, which unlocks one of the long term career goals. I am still deciding if I want this branch to be the deciding factor (ie if you don’t make the right choices you can’t have this goal/skill) or if I want to give readers a second chance.

I plan on updating the story content this week, I want to have at least a rough draft of the other two branches before publishing them, even though this means you won’t be able to play the first completed branch yet.

Anyway, thats all for now. Thank you for your continued support!!

Update!

All the branches in Chapter two are now uploaded!! Please let me know if there are any inconsistencies or random skips.

I will be working on finishing the final journey home, and making some changes to the stat screen/adding variables.

I have also added a chapter heading to chapter 2!

I have been making a lot of steady progress recently but there is still a long ways to go. Thank you for all the continued support <3
