Thanks (y) She is Nicole, Charlotte's friend and also her roommate.
She looks different from what I remember. Was she wearing that hat in the game and that's where this comes from? (It's been a while since I played it, as you can tell.)

So I just finished up the first bit and I gotta say I really like where this is going. I'm pretty invested now. I think my only issue which is minor is being able to see the MC which is something I don't prefer in other games too, but like I said it's minor. I really like where it's going and I do look forward to seeing more from you.

Great game - definitely one of the better ones on this website however I am reluctant to support it because of a worrying pattern I have seen in so many previous games I have supported in the past - devs fall into this state of analysis paralysis, end up revamping the game 50 times, redo tiny scenes nobody cares about, promise deadlines, find another tiny issue and dive down that rabbit hole, delay the release over and over and in the end what we get from the devs are frustration and broken promises instead of results.

I really hope this game does not end up like all those other games. I am rooting for the continued development of the game and I will gladly support if we can see consistent updates. This game looks good has really well written characters and draws you in. What it is lacking in right now is consistency.

May I say I look forward to your releases more than DPC's current beach event? :love:
Thanks :giggle: I wish I could be faster and more productive but I'm a perfectionist and sometimes I spend too much time to get things done in my scenes. Also I don't have a powerful hardware to fast things up. But the good thing is this never stops me. I have many ideas and scenes on my mind. You just have to wait and see. ;)

Can I tell you a true story ChainZero?

I'm a creative writer, and several years ago I was approached by a start-up (now defunct) pop-culture website to write content for them, this ranged the gamut from movie reviews, to lists, to roundtable discussions of geek culture, to original fiction. I agreed and submitted several articles over the course of about six months and quite enjoyed the behind-the-scenes editorial atmosphere of such an endeavour.

Actually, let me start over again, I became a creative writer BECAUSE they approached me to write content for them. I never had aspirations towards that field of work, but apparently they liked my sense and sensibilities on a then popular LOST discussion board enough to ask me to collaborate with them.

At some point I noticed that one of the site's creators -a self professed professional writer- had only submitted a single article in all that time. One night we were chatting (I think it was Yahoochat) and I asked him about it. He said he was never satisfied by the quality of his work and didn't feel it was up to standards of other contributors, including me. He said he was constantly revising and second-guessing his own work because he didn't want to disappoint the rest of us and our reader-base. He was basically blocking himself from finding an audience because he didn't feel that what he produced was good enough to share with the world.

I asked him why he started the site in the first place and he said something about "Because we have a really great group of creative people here and if we all work together we can really leave a mark on this world blablabla mumblejumble whitenoise (I wasn't really paying attention).

So I told him "Ask me why I write?

"I dunno, why do you write?"

"Because you guys asked me to?" And I said, "never had any ambition to write, but sure, why not?"

And so I wrote about a dozen or more articles, never once wondering "Is this good enough?". I just wrote them and send them to whomever volunteered to edit that given month. And they all ended up on that now defunct website, buried so deep on the internet I can't even find them anymore. That guy though, never had more than one article published.

Point is, stop second-guessing yourself, stop over-analysing yourself and if you feel the need for an editor, get someone else to look at it instead of yourself. The person most critical of you is often you. And sometimes, that can put a real damper on your creativity.

I've made a few comments in this thread before, so you know I love your game. It's in my signature, and that's no mean feat. I LOVE the story so far the way it is. Don't go back and nitpick over every little detail, bro! Just pick the fucking story you want to tell and TELL IT! And I'll be there the rest of the way.

This is the kind of shit I really need to hear sometimes. It's very eye opening and motivating at the same time. Thank you for this, really, cause that's definitely my biggest issue right now, among other things.

Oh c'mon now! How can you forgot her? :ROFLMAO: She is the nurse from first episode.
Eh, can't blame them. She was in the game for all of two scenes (right?) I didn't even realize she would be someone that the MC would get to know. To my perception the game is essentially: Chris (MC), Ayana, Charlotte, Charlotte's coworker/friend (name escapes me as it has been awhile), Nicole, and then the supporting cast...
