So far so good, lets hope it wont turn into another the forgotten paradise
A big bonus for me is that I know there's very little content that one can miss on just a single playthrough. Call me old-fashioned but I prefer games that I only have to play once to experience everything. Branching stories can be cool and all but I feel like it hurts a game more than it helps, every time I play a game with a branching story I always play it regular the first time and the other times I play with the skip button always on.I was trying to figure out why I liked Perveteer games so much last night, and I think I did. They do a great job of writing characters, especially female ones. I (the arts nice too.) But seriously a lot of Devs try to write strong female characters, but you end up with a random b**** instead.
Like the commander in this game, I don't like her, but I understand her. And that's a welcome change of pace.
Except that Adventure games and VNs *started* as games with lots of branching plots. So liking the lack of branching does not make you old fashioned in the least.Call me old-fashioned but I prefer games that I only have to play once to experience everything.
You're right, but I was more referring to enjoying a single linear story experience rather than a branching story. I was speaking in general rather than referring specifically to VN's, but you're right!Except that Adventure games and VNs *started* as games with lots of branching plots.

I knew I'd slip up with the naval/military lingo. Thanks, going to change that mention in the next release.Note to Dev:
EVA: "And there's always the possibility of us serving under the commander as Petty Officers after graduation."
This is highly unlikely no matter how much they fucked up. Petty Officers are non-commissioned officers. Since they are cadets of a Naval Academy, upon graduations these cadets would be commissioned either as Midshipmen or Ensigns depending on how the ranking structure work in that Navy. Nevertheless, they would be Officers, not non-comms.
Have you read Starship Troopers? Good book, and some good discussion of rank in the (space) Navy and (space) Marines.I knew I'd slip up with the naval/military lingo. Thanks, going to change that mention in the next release.
I've only read Stranger In A Strange Land by Heinlein so far. Troopers is still on my "to read" list. I did see the movie though and enjoyed the hell out of it, but that's more because it's classical Paul Verhoeven. I wouldn't recommend "Total Recall" to anyone if you wanted to see a true Philip K. Dick adaptation, though the movie is great at the same time.Have you read Starship Troopers? Good book, and some good discussion of rank in the (space) Navy and (space) Marines.
Read it, don't watch the movie (woof).
BTW, I love your new tag - "Peddler of Fappy Goods"!
When I saw the movie I liked it, but I went into it thinking it was going to be a brainless summer action flick. I was not disappointed. The book, however, has action, but also thought. It's fantastic IMO. Just take Henlein's politics with a grain of salt.I've only read Stranger In A Strange Land by Heinlein so far. Troopers is still on my "to read" list.

Had the badge for some time, I do hope my projects provoke some fapping, otherwise I'd have to change it again.
I think that was a common problem with the movie when it came out.When I saw the movie I liked it, but I went into it thinking it was going to be a brainless summer action flick.

LOL, no need to read an entire book to just find a few passages about military ranks (though reading books is never bad). Just go on wiki and borrow from the likes of Mass Effect, Starfleet (though they don't consider themselves a military organization), or even our own contemporary military like US or UK. Don't know how involved you want the story to be militarily. But just keep in mind there are almost always two tracks of rank structures, Enlisted and Officer.I've only read Stranger In A Strange Land by Heinlein so far. Troopers is still on my "to read" list.
