That makes a lot of sense any way keep up the fantastic work ill be keeping an eye none this game been playing it since it first showed up on this website can't wait to see what amazing ideas you come with next
Thanks a ton! Chime in more often. I like the feedback: good or bad. And thanks for the early support, too. Things were rough back then
just finished V0.11.1, overall I'm pretty enjoying this update. but the "talking" part feels a little bit too long and lacking interactions for me.
It may be better to add some chioces between "Zack running out" and "talking with Mikhail in his dorm" or make this part shorter then straight go to "talking with Mikhail".
Well it's late and the boys are about to getting drunk, this could be a interesting night...
So about all the talking: Yeah, there was a lot of dialogue. But: my defense was that so many things have been hinted that it was necessary. There's still questions and more dialogue to be had during the next update but at least it should have a different flavor and have different characters.
That being said: so originally there was going to be a choice when Zack was on the bench between telling Mikhail and not telling him. Once I started the writing, I didn't like the other direction that it was going so I just scrapped it. Zack was going to just go back to the dorm room and not find Braden. It just didn't feel right and seemed pointless in the grand scheme. Thus, we got the linear version that made the final cut.
Just wanted to congratulate you for the fact that you have spent more than 1 year in this game! So far it's a ridiculously good game that has a really good story and a impressive take on life and it's issues.
Of course you are a mean tease as a writer, but it also have a certain charm.
Also, congratz on the fact that you spend time actually reading the comments. This game is basically the only one that motivates me to write something to the producer (and makes me feel sad for my incapacity to actually give monetary support) hahaha
Heh, well thank you for the congratulations. I can't believe it's been a year already. School must've sped things up a bit for me but yeah, it's been a whole year and we're still kickin. I have a lot planned for this year...some of which is probably too big in scope but we'll see.
And I appreciate the support regardless of whether it's monetary or not. Originally, there were no dude games on here. Just the fact that people were open to having the game on the forums felt supportive. Doesn't have to all be money. Hell, even word of mouth helps me out
And hell yes, I read all the comments here, on the Patreon, and even on the YoutTube pages where the game was posted. Here, Tumblr, and the Patreon though are the primaries and I usually respond back to every comment. It's important to be active I think with the people that got your back.
Replaying because...well god damn that sex scene lol....
Minor quibble though. If you're going to give the mom fucker character some lines you could also give him a name since now he's a character and not just a npc. Before was ok because he was a minor part with no lines and was nothing more than an in-joke to another game. It's just weird now to have Zach always refer to him as "Mom Fucker"
Hehe, finally got your sex
Heh, so Mom-fucker: Yeah, I have a few followers that are curious about his name. I am, too, honestly so I haven't named him yet. I have some ideas. I feel like it will depend on how involved he gets. I haven't decided yet. However, since the story is written from Zack's perspective, the character dialogue titles are based on his understanding of their names. Neither Mikhail or Mom-fucker have actually said a name yet so I'm just rocking with it for now. Plus, I don't think Zack ever actually calls him Mom-Fucker to his face. He'd probably beat Zack's ass. It's definitely in the back of my mind, though. I legit am playing this thing by ear
