Demo's running at about 13,000+ words. I'm not entirely sure how many menus there are anymore because the interface has been changed and the engine's Lint report no longer counts them. All I know is I have WAAAAY too many choice menus (about 40 something just for the demo at last count)...and it's part of the reason this the demo has been taking as long as it is.
Basically I have to test this thing multiple times, going down multiple paths...I have no idea why I put so many menus in the first place other than the naive notion that, "golly gee whiz, people like making choices!"
Anyways, I gotta go into work. Will be trying to finish the last edits during my breaks.
Incidentally, I woke up today with this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach. The same feeling I had when I released the first version of this game. Mainly, "wow...this entire situation is kind of nuts. Am I crazy?"
I hope my beta testers are looking forward to this...after a certain point my judgment starts getting cloudy, I start questioning everything...
You just reminded me that I have a beta reader becuase my judgment gets cloudy too after editing my game over and over.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I really liked the previous version of Coming out on Top. It's nice to see a visual novel setting in college and not high school. The cursor was pretty cool too. I can't wait for the newer version.
Hahaha, that cursor. I had to change it because it was driving me nuts (I'm used to the cursor pointing the other way.) Thanks for the feedback, IcyBlue!
DeleteYou're not still looking for testers for the new version are you?
ReplyDeleteIf you'd like to check it out, shoot me an email, Finz, either here at my gmail or LSF and I'll send you a link when it's ready. I'd love to get your feedback & see what I need to improve.
DeleteOh gosh ! I'd love to be a betatester too ! Can i send you an e-mail in order to test the game ? :)
DeleteSure, that'd be great! Shoot me an email. I'll send the link to you today or tomorrow...it's almost ready.
Delete(FYI to anybody else... that's all the beta testers I need at the moment...! Thanks!)
You can send me a link if you need more second group betatesters.
ReplyDeleteYou're already in there :-).
