Hey Jim! I was wondering if you got my email? Anyways if not I was just wondering how you would feel about adding ‘abandonment issues’ as a challenge. I was just thinking about it when I tried the beta and just wanted to know your thoughts? Anyways I thought it would add an emotional element to the story and maybe even play into romances and stuff. Thanks for the great stories! Haha I already tweeted you about how you are a big inspiration to me, but as someone who wants to get better at creative writing, your work is inspiring!
@EddieTheYeti thanks for your kind words. At this point, I’m reluctant to add new challenges, since the programming is already so intense. But I add items like this to a Wish List in the event I want to introduce new features.
Also, feel free to send me any other suggestions and good luck with your writing.
How did I not see this thread? *sigh* I always lose everything and can’t find them again.
This game kind of feels like a GURPS sourcebook to me for some reason. I mean there literally is more roleplaying in here than any other Choice or Hosted game to date. I think for games of this kind (some are telling more on-rails style stories so they don’t count) it kind of sets the bar.
I think in the end here you’ve succeeded in making the story personal to the player. Whether we are vested in having a nephew with us, or a dog, or dealing with some type of phobia or allergy, we are going to be in for a crazy new ride. And also with our custom profession or listed one…I think things are going to be pretty awesome.
I for one really enjoyed being the bank robber and his partner. And I never choose bad guys. Just getting off that rush to the idea of entering into the zombie apocalypse, man, definitely going to be a darker character in that one. And feel great doing it!
On the other hand, I had my police officer who was just trying to figure out if he was going to get lucky is now actually thinking he did get lucky because of the shenanigans at the theater. Wow.
Just good stuff all around. Thanks for the hardwork. 
Thanks, @BrianBlack – I am working steady on this, and hope you enjoy the dedicated police officer scene when I complete it. I intend to make it the reverse of the bank robber scene, so you will be outside the bank when it gets robbed, just as the apocalypse escalates.
That’s pretty awesome. Sort of like Pulp Fiction in how events kind of cross over. Also gives you that meta-ish “ah hah!” moment during another play through. I seriously think that your game is going to have an insane amount of replay value. I just hope players outside of this beta and forum realize that. I wonder if you can do kind of a Resident Evil 2 ending and say something like, “But…is that the WHOLE story?” And then encourage the player to try out one of the other professions. Cause it really does seem like you’re kind of working on a slightly different angle of your story depending on your character’s background.
Yeah i think put achievements would help in know the amount of replay value this game has.
nvm! Got it!@BrianBlack I definitely am working on replay and changing perspectives. I am enjoying working on this so am spending time working out all angles for player experience instead of rushing to publish.

I played the pro wrestler background, who was looking in my window with a telescope?
What?
God_of_Demonz
I played wrestler and never got that telescope but its be a while
JimD keep up the good work 
The wrestler must have delusions.
Pepper speaks the truth.
When I saw the wrestling thing I started wondering if it was a Slammed! easter egg. Haha.
Testify! Great job JimD slow and steady, love the MMA and wrestler stuffs.
@JimD I was just doing the Hacker background, and I’m not sure if this was asked already, but I was wondering if LEGIT was the fictional version of Anonymous?
saw this alot futher back than i thought it would be, then again I’ve been away for a while…lol anything happen since i was gone
@CrimsonRose301 yes, LEGIT is similar to Anonymous but didn’t want to just use
“Anonymous” as I don’t know much more than pop culture info about them.
@Iconic_De I’ve not worked on this too much but chapter 1 is almost complete.

Pretty fun game so far for chapter one. To be frank, I think you have a lot of backgrounds, I think you should make it so that from chapter 2 and onward, that the backgrounds are only minimal. I rather see a longer story than a short one that is varied.
