When all is said and done put people in a situation where they HAVE To kill eachother it won’t matter wether the poor SOBs vote Right or Left modern millitaries train for that and if they find that 0.2% sociopath who happens to be a patriot it’s a win win as far they’re concerned

That’s a fair observation - most modern militaries dictate platoon commanders as lieutenants. The choice to use commander in lieu of that, was to avoid the usage of gender terms like sir and mdm. Also - the MRPA isn’t as professional as one would hope, it is more of a official militia than anything.

Really short as of now, but I’m curious how this will go… I was confused at the 15k wordcount though. Is it because you counted the double line_breaks in the code, or is it the length of the not yet uploaded version?

I personally think that as long as you put a disclaimer you can talk about almost everything
I think an awesome setting would be in the post-communist era and near the balkan region. Basicaly inspired in the independence war of Yugoslavia
As technichal as posible without making the story very complex
The MC realizing how horrible is war and what devastating effects can have on the people. Also Him realizing that the other soldiers are also people

Good question! the 15k word count excludes code, but the game seems short simply because there is a lot of extensive branching within the first chapter regarding the assault (and counter attack!). This seems to be the case for most of it - having multiple extensive branches effectively divides the word count, so you might only play through a fraction of the words in one playthrough. I hope that explains it and I’m still working on the next chapter!
@Akm
Thank you for your kinds words!! I’m working on it 
@Diegosx
Actually this was one of the historical references I’m reading up on to paint a more realistic scenario for the game. That said, it’s a very recent conflict and not being there (or being too affected by it) makes me really hesitate to try and put the setting as such - I don’t really want to risk disrespecting or downplaying the conflict as well.
This is an interesting pov!!! as well as @Epic’s comment hahahaha I’ll try to add in a bit of that!

I thought you were a girl!
Anyway, if you end up including subjects like rape or suicide could you consider giving the option to skip the scnes in detail?
