Grrr…this is getting a bit tedious… Well, not only can I not figure out code, but it seems dropbox is on that list now, too. So, basically, this is another one of my “stupid dilemmas”. This time it’s figuring out a way to post the link on dropbox. Whenever I try to, it always comes out as a download-needed type of thing. Which is frustrating. Sigh…I feel bad for asking, but, anyone willing to help out this very dumb person over here? ---

@LOR Is your entire web folder in your dropbox public folder? If so, just right click on your index.html and click on copy public link. That’s the link that should let you see the game, not just download it. ---

@CS_Closet Ah hah…that’s probably the problem, then…since I have no idea how to make a public dropbox folder… ---

Reenable it with your Dropbox account, via browser. I’ve even forgot how I did it. 😛 ---

Geeze, why is this link so hard to track down?! @LOR [https://www.dropbox.com/help/16/en](https://www.dropbox.com/help/16/en) Toward the bottom of that help file, there’s an option to enable the public folder. Sorry for the lack of information on that earlier. I completely forgot they removed those in new accounts. ---

@CS_Closet Nah, it’s okay. In times like this, I usually use my wonderful motto: “When you can’t find something, GOOGLE it!” 😃 But thanks for the help, everyone! I’ll be sure to figure this out, despite the retardedness of my computer browsers. And, oh, wow @Aznxa I always wondered what that anime person’s name was, since I always saw her everywhere…well, that’s one less inquiry I have about the anime things I constantly see/hear. Complete coincidence, though, about the name. ---

@LOR you should try out that anime’s prequel fate zero its great. ---

@Aznxa Hmm, that sounds pretty promising. I haven’t seen a good anime in a while, being busy and whatnot, so something to relax to seems like a good idea. I’ll look into it. And, um, \*ahem\*, on other news… I’m starting to feel extremely pathetic with all these dumb questions…\*cough cough\*… But, ha, what’s one more…right? Sooo…I’ve already done the coding and most of the figuring out and such, but now I’m wondering which file exactly I’m supposed to be uploading to dropbox. I’ve already tried the mygame file’s index, which refuses to work whenever I upload it and try using the link. So I’m pretty sure I’m doing yet another thing wrong in this process. My question is: which file is it that I’m supposed to upload to dropbox, again? ---

Woot! Yay, finally! Annnddd here is our nice lil’ demo link: [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/145175225/web/mygame/index.html](http://dl.dropbox.com/u/145175225/web/mygame/index.html) I haven’t really worked on the stats yet, but I do plan to get around to it. So, basically, just don’t click on the stats, 'cause there’s nothing actually there yet. Anyway…I hope you enjoy this little part of the prologue. I’ll be working on the rest of it this week, since I’ll be having a lot of free time on my hands, and I hope I’ll have less problems now that I know the basics to this kinda thing. 🙂 Thank you to everyone who has helped me out! ---

@RagEgnite Maybe it is? Maybe it isn’t? All you guys get to now is that it’s one heck of a weird place, for now. @vampierkid222 Ah, yeah, I advised against that. The error is due to the fact that the stats aren’t exactly set up yet, which will (hopefully) be fixed once I get the rest of the prologue out later on. ---

|D I’ve been waiting for this, even if it is just a small demo. It’s very well written!~ @LOR I’m confused on one thing. Maybe I read it wrong before somewhere? I thought that Sabre and Saber were defining the gender. I didn’t know it was the name of the character. It might be because there’s not much of the demo out yet… I don’t know, just a thought. xD ---

@ClockDS Oh, sorry for the confusion. I thought I specified that, but those are the default names of the character, depending on the chosen gender. It all has a purpose, though! The character already has a default appearance (as seen in the demo), but I hope that isn’t too much of a problem? The appearance has even more of an importance than the names, actually. And I’m glad you think it’s well-written. 🙂 I think the thought that other people would actually be reading/playing this really made me step my game up a little. I usually hate how my writing turns out. ---

Oh crap I just realized I made a typo, it was meant to say ‘so far’. @LOR Personally I don’t mind If the name and looks are set, If they’re part of the plot then go ahead! ---

@LOR Not a problem! I was just confused over if the Sabre or Saber thing was a name or the gender. I actually like how you described the look of the MC. They seem… unique, I guess would be the word, to me. And like trollhunter said, if it’s part of the plot then it’ll have to be done. C: And yus, it’s very good. I can’t even put into words how much I love it. I luff your writing style.~ 😛 [Previous page](https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/welcome-to-the-family-an-outcasts-beginning-wip/1141.md?page=5) [Next page](https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/welcome-to-the-family-an-outcasts-beginning-wip/1141.md?page=7)
