Alright, great! I can tell you that as soon as the prologue is over, the humanity stat will be very important to the story. I hope you guys stay tuned for that! :slightly_smiling_face:

This is a very interesting concept of a IF. The one thing is, is that the save files somehow got broken. It has the Error: Bad Slot- has smPlugin been included? error. It worked with the last update. Just wanted you to know incase you didn’t. Might be my phone, since it is having issues, i don’t know.

I am really enjoying the WIP the only issue I have is my save file isn’t holding the save. I have played through the whole WIP 3 times, saved it each time and each time I load my save file it starts me at the beginning again.

Thank you to you and @midnytegoddess for telling me about the issue, I will get it fixed as soon as I can.

Alright, it has been fixed. The issue is that the code used for the save slots is not an actual line of code in choicescript, so when I’m editing the wip it gives me an error and I have to delete it momentarily. It seems I forgot to add it back again, apologies everyone.

@aventurine going to replay soonish but i did notice something when going to the hospital when we are talking to the reciptionist abd the doctor for some reason mayor is written as if he is present though he isnt.

An while talking in private when choosing the option that has us crossing are arms it feels like whiplash that the conversation abruptly ends even though it doesnt seem that it should.

To be a bit more specifc it happened when choosing it second after going to the police station first. Playing now going to hospital first and defintly ight and day between the two lol.

First of all, thank you so much for your continued support.

I fixed the thing about the mayor showing up, I guess he was too eager to be present lmao. Let me know if he shows up again (this sounds so funny, it’s making me laugh although it shouldn’t :sob:)

As for the other interaction, it should also be fixed. Do tell me of any other issue you encounter. :heart:

The thing is that the hospital1 and hospital2 (and station1 and station2) are copy and paste, so that the reader can meet both ROS in any case. However, only the first choice that leads you to each leads you to either mortuary or Rivera showing you the pictures, so I had to changed some things. Everything should make sense now though!

No worries an no problem yeah it just felt abrupt but glad things are fixed :: nudges. :: by the way your date of latest update that shows in the demo is wrong. :smiley:

I have enjoyed seeing the new stuff still have suspicions of the doctor and cop but at present qould trust them more than i do the mayor :: snickers. :: so well done on elicticing emotions against and for them all. The only thing i can say is if you intend the mayor to be a RO that people can be drawn to romancing then i would suggest have something that can appeal to players over all.

1st impressions can make or break a npc being a RO that appeals and at present for me at least the obvious fakeness pushes away that intrest at least for a first and second playthrough far as who gets romanced for me at least.

Oh, no the mayor is definitely not an RO! The current ROS are Jada and Marcus, then in the next chapter you will meet the last RO and decide who you want to romance. :slightly_smiling_face:

Also, it’s normal that you’re suspicious. I tend to make my characters morally gray, rather than black and white.

I’m very glad you’re enjoying it so far! It means a lot to me. :heart:

Lol good and yeah i enjoy morally grey characters alot i feel when done right can give them a depth that the extremes sometimes struggle to accomplish.

I didn’t meet Dr. Nelson as I chose to go home and rest because my MC had just been shown horrible photos of their dead parents and that’s a lot to deal with however I just got the call me text and the game is acting like I both know who she is and that we shared numbers. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Alright, it has been fixed. Thanks for telling me! I decided to remove the option to go home, it’s the only way you can meet both characters(future events wouldn’t make sense otherwise as you can see!

Other than that, I hope you’re enjoying it. :slightly_smiling_face:

The prologue is now finished and the game has been updated! I will be busy for the next couple of weeks so I don’t know when I will be able to start working on chapter 1. In the meantime, I hope you guys enjoy the prologue. :slightly_smiling_face:
