VN Ren'Py ToxiCity [v0.11.0] [ILSProductions]

[Meiri]

Man I'm catching up and I gotta ask if the people pointing out how dumb the witch scene was actually read it. Laura specifically mentioned the gait was entirely different and the MC said she looked different until he got too close. She wasn't an obvious witch at first, for all they knew she had a mental break like Laura.


I wanted to ask what was causing the cars to fail last update, because I can't think of a single component in a car that would be destroyed by corrosion without also destroying other things that are keeping the fog out. Like if metal or aluminum eroded then even closing the vents or turning off the AC wouldn't help because it'd eat through it. Rubber/polyester doesn't seem to dissolve outside of the super high concentrated bursts because they're still using face masks and gloves from the start.

If it's an acid, it's a very weird one.

You are forgetting both previous encounters where he was attacked by another survivor on one and was threatened by another one in this same episode? Even then, you have to agree getting close to her was not the best idea with their current knowledge.

About the fog, I am leaning towards it being unnatural as the news in the beginning seemed to imply, so "magic" would be my guess about why it is affecting cars and technology.

If we need a more lethal threat (as has been suggested), maybe King Kong will come stomping through the fog.

Will he carry Kallie to the top of the hospital?

Man, that would be an ending... Just as they think they're safe, a Kaiju emerges and destroys the entire city.

 

[Siphon]

Here, lack of provisions seems to be the only factor driving our cast to get out and move, other than Laura's concern for her son. As you say, at least as far as we've seen so far, there really aren't any threats to their safety if they just stay put.

Aside from the fact they'd be stuck there potentially forever? They won't run evacuations forever. Food will eventually run out, and at some point they'll cut the power/water because it's a dead city. The threat to their safety is that it's an incredibly shitty situation and they don't wanna stick around.

Sure maybe someone there is a hardcore lockdown-maxxer and is having the time of their life, but average people can't stay cooped up like that.

You are forgetting both previous encounters where he was attacked by another survivor on one and was threatened by another one in this same episode?

Yeah and he also found one guy who was pretty hyped to see him, one girl who would have stayed and died, and one girl who did stay too long and died where she was. Plus numerous people who gave up.

With him being a fairly empathetic person it makes complete sense he'd roll the dice. You guys are forgetting he ran out into the fog the first time they saw a Burned One because he thought it was a person lost out there. Add on the girl wasn't walking like a Witch and didn't have the odd growths on her skin it makes perfect sense.

That isn't a threat to their safety. It's entirely reasonable for them to not want to stick around, but it isn't a threat to their safety. The other things you mention, even if we assume they're going to happen, fall into the category of "lack of provisions."

TOXICity 0.12.0 update #1

​

25 minutes ago
It's Halloween, so that means you're either dressing up to go Trick-or-Treating, going to a party, handing out candy at your home, or just avoiding the whole mess altogether. Me? It'll be a combination of the last two. I have candy. If someone comes by, I'll throw it at them. Mostly, the night'll be spent doing a horror movie marathon of Halloween, Session 9, and maybe the latest version of Nosferatu.
Speaking of horror, we've got 0.12.0 started up and going. After the trek from campus, John and the girls might get a short reprieve, but you know we're not letting up on the pressure. And, yes, girl #4 is going to be fully revealed, but as you might expect, she's not going to be the cute and good-natured friend that either Kallie or Laura were when first introduced.
So, did you notice: Throughout most of the game so far, Kallie won't call John by his name if she doesn't have feelings for him. Sure, she'll mention him by name when talking to Laura. If you're doing a run where she has low to no interest in him, she'll mostly never call out to him by his name. And there are a few shots where her attention will be redirected elsewhere, depending on her feelings.
Also, did you notice anything about the new Nightmare theme? It's one of the other tracks reversed and slowed down to make it feel more unsettling.
Thanks for your patronage and interest.

They didn't see the girl only the silhouette, they also never saw a witch walking and the girl was just standing there in the fog...not suspicious at all, especially after he encountered witches, heck the guy thinks ''don't be a witch...'' he is fully aware what he does is about as smart as the actions of the cast of a horror/slasher movie
Yeah, and they got jumped more then once, so they should obviously have learned their lesson.

Aside from the fact they'd be stuck there potentially forever?

They could try to leave the city. If necessary on foot, with proper gear feasible.

Isn't that pretty much what they're trying to do? That's hardly any different from trying to go to the hospital.

Proper gear? Do you mean they should just pull up the hoodies on their jackets and start walking?

 

[Raziel_8]

They can pull up their hoodies now, no more hats needed
More along the line of gas-masks, which they currently don't have.

They try to get out yeah, if the hospital is a good direction for leaving the city (if there is no evac), i have no idea.
The major difference if they would try to leave the city on foot is, they would likely need to go for long periods without shelter, which i don't think is possible with their current gear.

It's easier to hit the hospital and get evacuated that way, since it seems like the most logical point. It's not like they're gonna get there and find out they are instead evacuating people from the Global Office Supplies building.

Speaking of horror, we've got 0.12.0 started up and going.

It's a new update, and to the surprise of no one Laura looks pissed about something.

I was going to say that....she has her RBF back it seems

Obviously, though i doubt there is a evac going on there. I meant leaving on foot before being stuck there forever.

Very true
When isn't she pissed about something...i really don't care anymore, thought it'd be nice to get the option to tell her to suck it up.

 

[bobbo69]

She must be jealous about Kallie

The TV did say something about ongoing evacuations, when Laura was borderline comatose at the dorms. Everyone was asleep and missed it though. So we know they are happening, the hospital makes sense due to its height but even if it isn't there's probably a way for them to find out where they are.

Also we'll probably see Kallie crash out due to Andrew not being there, with the implication he never made it/died.

RE: Laura, I definitely agree. I'm kind of tired of her attitude, a real fall from grace because I liked her a lot at the start.

They did say that, but we do not know how large the affected area is, or where the evacuations are happening. Mind you, going to the hospital is still their best choice so far.

As for Kallie...hard to predict her exact response. At the current point i'd say, relieved that she doesn't need to face Andrew and that it is over, maybe a bit overwhelmed. Depending how long it takes to go there and how much growth she has, maybe angry that she couldn't get the closure she wanted.

 

[Meiri]

If those are from the preview it's interesting that the new girl isn't with them, maybe she isn't immediately joining or is wounded in the background.

I suspect that the new girl not being shown is just the developer not want to spoiler that until he has to. We might not get a good look at her until the actual release.

 

[Anteron]

Aside from the fact they'd be stuck there potentially forever? They won't run evacuations forever. Food will eventually run out

There are already problems with getting enough food - and most of it is junk food so far.

True, but the main reason for their lack of food is that they didn't try to loot a mall so far, they could also use more backpacks if they are at it. Thought to be fair, the amount of food they can carry is limited.

 

[danb35]

loot a mall

Mall? What is this, 1995?

But really, they don't seem to be moving with any sense of direction other than "I think the hospital is this direction." Whether that's because nobody in the group knows the area very well, because they just aren't thinking about anything else, or some other reason is unclear at this point. You'd think there'd be a supermarket or a Wal-Mart near the campus, though they'd likely have been looted already.

As to what they're eating, though, they don't have a whole lot of options other than junk food. Anything that would require refrigeration would have already spoiled. Fresh fruits and veg? Not so fresh any more. Canned goods? They'll last for years, but they're heavy, you need a can opener, and you need to heat them (or at least really want to)--and many of them would be "junk food." Anything else shelf-stable that wouldn't be junk food (e.g., bread) is likely to be spoiled too. And you can get a decent amount of carbs and protein with junk food (jerky was a good call by MC at the convenience store), though obviously with more fat than would be ideal.

MREs would be great, but they're still pretty much junk food. And also pretty heavy.

It isn't going to give you a long-term balanced diet, but I don't think anyone's expecting they're in this for the long term.
