[Helmeted Smith]

nice game so far
there are a few occasions where the wrong person is talking, but otherwise smooth game with good renders.
eg. in this situation the MC is asking for the Princess' Name if i am not mistaken

It's really worth a look.
Sometimes destabilizing, you get lost in it, sometimes on the verge of dropping everything because you don't understand anything... But there are the graphics, the animations, the music, too.
Not really a jerk-off machine, but so original!

But fuckin' shit to dick, fuckin' hell, if only there weren't all those spelling mistakes! It's so huge that there are moments when I wonder if it's not done on purpose...

----
Vraiment ça vaut la peine de s’y attarder.
Parfois déstabilisant, on s’y perd, parfois sur le point de tout laisser tomber à force de ne rien comprendre… Mais il y a le graphisme, les animations, la musique, aussi.
Pas vraiment la machine à branler .Mais si original !
Mais putain de bordel de merde à queue, Putain de putain de foutre pute à la con ! Si seulement il n’y avait pas toutes ces fautes d’orthographes ! C'est tellement énorme qu'il y a des moments je me demande si c'est pas fait exprès...

But I'd like to know if the character I was "controlling" is saying something my character normally wouldn't say. If this was a movie, I bet the voice would be different to the normal voice when the character was possessed aka not in control. More clearly you can make your audience to understand that something wasn't normal the better.

In the X-Men comics there is/was a rather nasty non-corporeal villain called Malice, who can possess any other character completely, and jump from one host to another with no warning.

The only way the Good Guys have of spotting a possessed team-mate or bystander is that when Malice is possessing a victim, so long as she is there, there's a black velvet choker around her victim's neck ... and it disappears and reappears on the neck of whoever she jumps to...

I was wrong - not a black velvet choker - that was Jean Grey as the Black Queen - a costume lifted DIRECTLY from Diana Rigg as Mrs Peel as the Queen of Sin in one "Avengers" episode, except for a black choker with a rose, instead of a leather collar with two-inch spikes.

No - Malice's presence was confirmed by a red satin {i think} cameo choker:

A beautiful and hot woman and still a redhead, I love redheads. You want to kill me?

I agree with the other comments this game is amazing and has ton of potential, good luck dev!

Thanks! Working on Ep 3 + Prologue as we speak. Also, doing some overall polish of the game (writing errors, transitions, etc.). I plan to release from now on, hopefully as polished as possible.
The next update will be a bit more intense with sort of a climactic end. So, I will be recommending a start over for Episode 3, to experience this first act of the story in it's full and also to see the prologue.

Ok - sounds like I better wait for Ep 3.

BUT .. the game gets -1000 points for 1 HUGE problem.
The use of the comic sans font ... or maybe just something extremely similar - not 100% sure. But bad enough.

And even then ... 5 fonts on 1 screen? ... wtf? Why?




Had no time and fun to edit the rest of the text ... but why to you place the text over that helmet?

And now I wait for ep3 before I test the game

Oh, no

The day I feared is upon me, the font gods are here to judge me for my heresy and for summoning the "dark one", comic sans.

I shall repent and hope forgiveness, for I have sinned!

I never understood why people hate comic sans.

Then you probably dont work in or with graphic design in any form ^^

While Comic Sans may be appropriate for an elementary school project or a Beanie Baby’s heart-shaped tag, it lacks gravity. So when the font began to appear on defibrillators, warning signs, and even tombstones, typographers were aghast. [...]

Part of the reason Comic Sans is so unappealing in a professional setting is its irregularity. Unlike most typefaces, letters such as the “b” and the “d” are not mirror images. For most people, that means it is also more difficult to read—which, as it turns out, might not be a bad thing. Studies have revealed that difficult-to-read fonts actually increase retention.

You can use it when you want something to look "childish" or "immature" - but I dont think that this is describing the game - even without having played it.

For people with dyslexia, the situation is completely reversed. Irregular letters actually facilitate reading, since the characters are easier to tell apart from one another. Today, several national dyslexia associations list Comic Sans as a recommended font.

There is the reason why I like it.

Ok - for the up to 10% of ppl that have that problem - then you can use it in content aimed at dyslexic ppl.. For the other 90% it is harder, more uncomfortable to read.

Now that I take a better look at it, the main menu is bit of a mess.
I will fix it in the next update.

I am open to feedback, no worries. Thx!


But now, I am starting to introspect (I knew about the comic sans story). What the hell was I thinking?
> the HS logo looks cool
> feeling proud of it
> time to add a little "created by" enhancement
> select font
> comic sans
