So I am basically taking this month off for the holidays, but while I am, I am still working on stuff basically everyday behind the scenes. There just isn’t any big projects or goals going on. I might do a Christmas game, and I have a few ideas for it, though I have not decided on what to do yet.
I updated the ending numbers for the last game, since there was some ending numbers that were repeated. It should all be correct now. There are 18 endings, 3 true endings, and a golden ending. So 22 total.
I went and did a couple more bad endings but I am just not feeling it too much. The game is just a little shy of the 50k mark but it is close enough. I will put the extra words for my goal into another side project I am working on, so I will still have the 50k words written this month.
I hope everyone enjoys the game! I think I might try this again, to help improve how many games I can pump out!
Also, since someone asked for it:
So I have ‘finished’ the game, and uploaded it. You should be able to get to the ending no matter which way you go, including the final golden ending.
Right now it is roughly 45k words and I got the rest of today, and 3 more full days of work left. My plan is to hit the 50k word goal by the end of the month, and there should be no problem doing so. So I will be adding some more bad endings to fill that out. Expect the final final update to be up some time Wednesday night.
So I learned a few things from writing every single day and keeping track of my progress.
So I am on the final branch and I have seven days left. I am fairly confident I am going to finish early. I am sort of debating what to do with the extra time. If I should extend the branch even further and make it the ‘main’ path? Or maybe work on adding bad endings in places?
There was a bug blocking the ending for the new path I updated yesterday, and I fixed that. So now you should actually be able to get to the end of that path.
That is the first time I ever seen that bug in twine, where I had two passages with the same name, which it doesn’t allow you to create normally but some how it did. Everything showed it going to the correct passage but then it was teleporting to the other with the same name.
I finished the second path, which is the one that goes along with the last update. If you don’t become an AI and support the dolls, you will lead down that path.
Okay, I put up a new update for the game I am working on this month. Like I said, there are four main paths(with lots of bad endings along the way). I have finished one of those paths, which is if you become AI and also support the AI fully. The path leads the first ‘true ending’, though I am going to make one ending from each path a true ending.
The path splits pretty far into the game though, so there is a lot of content prior to the split. There is some content after the split on the other paths, but depending on choices some end abruptly, and some of them are a lot longer or shorter than others, so it isn’t very consistent.
I am up to 32k words now. The story is pretty long now, and getting towards the end. Which the ending is getting pretty crazy. There are four major paths, it splits depending on if you want to become an AI or be seen as a person, and if you promote the idea everyone should be a sex doll, or have a more ‘reasonable’ view on things.
