There isn't much there yet, but what there is, reminds me of The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante (and that's a jolly good thing!)
Wow it is only 10k word but I like it already also UI is perfect. Definitly going to keep a eye on this WIP
Hi! There's a great premise here, but there's unfortunately multiple errors regarding grammar in multiple parts of the story. For example, when being sincere to Nicolas about finding Tomas' whistle, you say the following;
"Tomas would be grateful if you lend your help, so do I."
'Lend' should be 'lent' here - Tomas 'would' be grateful, so the tense should define the lending as past tense. Additionally, 'so do I' makes absolutely no sense here - it'd be 'Tomas would be grateful if you lent your help, and so would I'; or 'lent your help. So would I.'
Then there's multiple spelling mistakes like 'oppurtinity' (which should be opportunity) and 'strenghten', and so on.
I might suggest going through what's already been written with a fine-tooth comb - or maybe asking a friend to doublecheck or using a writing program if you struggle for time/if English isn't your first language and you're still learning (which, no shame!).
Ahaha... yes, I don't promote this game anywhere else in part because I feel like the writing could be improved on and I need to build the world-building further first, the main cast of characters needs to be set up mainly the romantic options so I can present it to my potential audiences better.
Thank you for the advise, I will explore my options and continue to improve!
Why can't I be a social outcast and be miserable? The narrative is forcing me to be responsible 😂
Do you want to make it like a sandbox game where we can increase our skills and have the option of visiting places?
Yes, I don't see many IF about kingdoms and empires where the MC is the oldest and has to be the responsible one.
About the gameplay, I'm still not sure... Sandbox in a text game, do you mean like The War For the West or Choice of Rebels? I think it's interesting but I don't know if I can pull it off.
Liking it so far cant wait to see more
Thanks! I don't know how you find this game because I don't even promote it anywhere else.
was lurking on the iteractive fiction tag and found this
I also found this way, good demo by the way, I will follow the updates
Thank you for giving it a try!
Lmao, me every week!
The mobile version has a bug that instantly closes the keyboard when attempting to enter a name for the character
Really? I'm sorry, I haven't checked it in mobile yet, lol. Would check and fix it as soon as I'm free.
