@IyashiiOtaku They could also be used as lamps… Probably… Ya’know… Somehow 
JimD, I’m a lurker, but I only registered to give you my support. While I like the majority of the CoG and user-submitted games, yours is one of my favorites. Idk if it’s because I play your game in increments that leaves me wanting more, coupled with I have no other choice game to play and it’s giving me my fix, but I cannot wait for the completed version.
As much as I want it now, I don’t wan you to rush. One of my biggest complaints with CoG games, is when certain stats aren’t even utilized which doesn’t give me the incentive to level them up, for instance choice of vampire had tons of those, or at least stats that I had no clue were being used. I chalk that problem up to possible sequels utilizing them.
Exodus however, does fairly utilize the stats. However I’m not sure what charm does, as well as I like the relationship system but I don’t see were it coms into play.
I guess what I’m trying to say is…the replayability is there, the story is great and I like the length, by part 3 is where CoG games usually end but thats were I start to get heavily into the game, Exodus appears to be much longer, I love it! Characters I noticed have distinct personalities, thats nice, now the features like stats and relationships, that’s awesome, but I hope your not over your head by including way too many variables and such that it’s hard to keep track of. Unless your very determined…and regardless, if you need beta testers, give a shout.
Anyway, keep it up!
@TheKid90 I feel very much the same way about this game. Although in a sense, we are the beta testers.
We appreciate your efforts Jim!
So far the best game…detailed and good replay…cant wait till the finish
@IyashiiOtaku I loved Shaun of the Dead, but the endings I have planned so far are not really in line with that type of ending. I made this game more on a darker path, though I can see the style of endings (in which zombies regain sentience) can be done without comedy.
@TheKid90 thanks for the support and your feelings on the game. I definitely feel overwhelmed sometimes due to the choices and variables, but I find people like the vastness of choices and to know their decisions make major differences. Charisma is used in several ways: 1, it modifies increases and decreases in relationships and 2, when you try to lie, manipulate or influence someone.
I also just have a process when I write to think of major possible paths or decisions one can make. I usually write them all down and then remove redundancies.
Beta testers here are also amazing. If I miss something, they catch it. If I overlook use of a variable, someone gives me feedback. I can say a large part of my development is considering feedback and how to implement it.
CoG is a bit backed up with posting new games, which has positively helped provide me time to keep developing. I really thank them for giving us a platform to write these games.
@Kamer and @ghostface22 – thanks for your support as well
So hows game going is an update about ready yet?
I will be posting another major “mission”: going on a medicine run into Temperance. This should go up on September 25, some time in the evening.
*cough* Devlin *cough*
YES! DEVLIN!
i have a question. Can u already romance someone else then Heather? been trying but no luck so far
ah ok. looking forward to it.
i really LOVE THE GAME! play it once a day atleast xD
Devlin? And I had to find out the day BEFORE it comes out?! … The anticipation and anxiety will kill me…
Please I beg of you put an inventory in it! It is frustrating not knowing what you are carrying! Also bullets what hell do I have an infinite ammo hack?
Expect that the game is epic!
@Player I built an inventory for the stats screen. It is going up tonight. I don’t want to get into tracking bullets too heavily. I think the story can handle out-of-ammo situations, and most fight scenes don’t require heavy ammo usage. If that changes, I can add it.
so is update up yet the one with devin?
It is up now. However, I have only tested it a few times so errors may be present. I added in an inventory system, though it needs to be improved a bit just for readability.
This section adds to Month 1 giving the option to go on a mission to find medicine for the survivors. It is not very long but has numerous paths to reach the end. I am not 100% done adding Devlin’s part in but that should be up tomorrow night.
I think it’s kind of cruel that Devlin was literally at the very end. You said there’s more than one way to go about it right? I’ll try another way now.
“Hands changed loosely to a wall overhead.” Spelling error
I’m not sure if any of the options to go through the door work. I got an error when I tried to shoot and smash the door. There is an error when you chose to run toward the truck. Line 325: indent
Hey Jim. I got too excited and couldn’t help myself; I played the latest parts of the story. Excellent work, as always, but there was one bug I noticed.
I was picking equipment to go into Temperance, and I can carry 20 pounds. The spiked baseball bat lists as 7 pounds. After I picked the baseball bat, it said I was now carrying 17 pounds, and thus I wasn’t able to pick almost anything else I wanted.
Also, you may want to give the option of relationship status for people starting off further in the game. When I played it the first time from the beginning, Heather didn’t like me too much – that’s fine, as I didn’t like her. However, when I picked to start in a later chapter and not the beginning, she was all over me.
All in all, absolutely great work, and I look forward to your next installment.
Edit: Okay, I started on the latest chapter and not the second to last one, and I do see relationship status options for that.
Edit Edit: Oh, and I picked a 40 Poor relationship with Heather, yet Emma still insinuated that I was sleeping with her, and I did not appreciate her accusation.
Last Edit: Ugh. I noticed that the food and water is ten pounds, so I was wrong about the bug, AND you have that relationship thing in the latest chapter, so basically I don’t know what I’m talking about.
