Oh, hunni, I never play against Notty. When we go it's always co op and we both win.

*had a bash but always happy for something better!*
*blinks innocently*Funny you mention pregnancy tagsWill not do an eigth one conspiracy post about that one, but with the hints dropped by Notty, it will be no surprise if that will be one of the themes running in the game.
Flirt? Me?

Thank you
Exactly how I feel the game should be played tbh! Kudos!
I'll have a look at Sarah's explanation of how the game works again to see if I can make it clearer. Thanks.
Interestingly that aspect of Sarah has been there since One - but a lot depends on who you talk to as to when you find it out. Sarah herself gives a glimpse of it in One if you discuss weapons with her and drinking with Annie in Two can also give a hint. Sarah reminds me of someone who once spent an afternoon solving a problem for a team that they had spent nearly four months on. In she breezes, talks, listens and BAM. Solved. She then took three goes to make a cup of tea, having first forgot to put the kettle on, then forgetting to put a teabag in and then finally (having thrown the previous two cups of tea away) made a super cup of tea and promptly threw it down the sink as she had done with the previous two...
On other playthroughs btw, the game is rather large. At the end of Three there are 18 paths running if you take the various combinations (this excludes minor conversational deviations of course which don't change paths). At games end this will rise to 116. This, although I know some won't like it, is deliberate.
I was tired of playing choice games where my choices didn't matter. Or, at best, led to two or three endings. I'm playing a game for ten hours and it comes down to three tracks? Nah... One of the things I wanted to do here was to make your choices count. Ideally to make -your- experience of the game as different as I can from someone elses. Now obvs there are limits. Tiny dev, crappy rig etc - I can only do so much. But I'm giving it a damned good go to make your game as unique to you as I can.
*knows this is a fruitless endevour in some ways as some peeps play all the paths regardless!
That is quite a lot of paths. Isn't it too big for the amount of people working on Heavy Five?
Regardless a like the idea of having so many different variations on each playthrough depending on which choices I decide to follow.

*is a single team of one*It's all plotted out. So really all I have to do is write the actual dialogue for the plot point scenes and render the bloody thing

I've nearly done that a few times.
You ever get like that when you've talked to someone for so long and you nearly pick up their mannerisms?
I've had to stop myself typing like that a few times now.
I'll end up turning into mini Notty.

Actually my commment wasn't aimed at you at all. What you do interests people. I was speaking more generally about other user's low-effort off-topic posts.
It doesn't matter now. We keep trucking the same as before!

Yes... I went on holiday with my dad when I was maybe 11-12, he hit it off with this woman and while he was off doing 'stuff' with her, I had to keep her son entertained, he had a very strong Scouse accent, when we got back off holiday, I had a mild Scouse accent for a few weeks; I was teased relentlessly for it.
BTW, nothing wrong with a little Notty

I have noticed that I picked up some elements of Nottyspeech after 7 months... I wonder what it will be like in a year...
Mutual battle of pleasure then?
So you can start a life of crime and make ...a million dollars!
Okay, now that is a movie I want to see, if we are being honest. But I have to ask, how many paths will the movie have?

*is a good girl!*
Oh no. Defo not! Not with the rest of that scene!Do we get to see it? Do we get to see it? Do we get to see it?
Wrong tense there, I think, sweetie...
*nods rapidly*
Good call

Could be worse - could be a -lot- worse...
*curtsies humbly*Not fruitless at all. I play my main playthroughs immersively weighing every option and never rolling back on a choice. These first playthroughs where choices matter are those that matter the most to me.
I only play all the other paths only because of the brilliance of your writing (and rendering).

I wasn't sure if there was someone else on the "team", so in doubt i used the plural.If by people you mean me....

It is nice to know that you already have all the point points set.

I'm wondering if anyone going on the rescue mission with Chris was reminded of his/her favorite class from a shooter-rpg hybrid ? And has that made the naming choices more logical?

All totally written before I started. Took me about six months to work out before I released Chapter One due to the sheer complexity of it all. Tbh it was originally bigger with nearly 200 paths but that would have taken around 16 chapters.I wasn't sure if there was someone else on the "team", so in doubt i used the plural.

I felt people might be bored of a game that long so cut it down a bit!

You expect us to believe you after you were asking to be spanked just a few posts ago?
Now I want to see your "storyboarding"

Sadly it can't be done now. It's not just like dropping extra scenes in (although that could be done of course - but that's a different matter). The way the plot threads run mean you can't just shove stuff in. The story would fall over.

Best not to get such a silly thought for the next game then.I felt people might be bored of a game that long so cut it down a bit!
