Trompe la mort (Prototype)
Added 2020-10-27 18:17:30 +0000 UTCHello everybody!
I played my protoype (It lasts 15 minutes). I won’t hide that I’m not satisfied. Links for EXE, SWF, APK at the end.
GOOD POINTS
-The universe (amoral witches in Victorian age, monster compatible).
-I have now a scenario I like.
-Dialogues and map exploring bring something.
BAD POINT
-My texts describing actions are short but manage to be BORING; make the reader passive.
CONCLUSION / WHAT'S NEXT
I'm curious about your feedbacks but my first thoughts are:
-I read a lot of Choose Your Adventure books but I feel like I did not find the receip.
-I will do a dialogue based game instead of a choose your adventure book (I will study the engine gameTyranoBuilder a bit)
-For november I will deal with that Witch project on the week-ends (to study what I can do) and go back on Behind The Dune. I have to put Jessica's wedding picture and a few other ideas/ requests.
Experiment is a part of the creative process. I hope you find that interesting.

2020-10-29 07:10:18 +0000 UTCIt is no joke. It is admiration. The Last Express is a beautiful old adventure game. Story is around the first world war on the Orient express. So the whole train scene reminded me of the Last Express. You should check the game out. It used rotoscoping for it's art.

2020-10-28 23:42:34 +0000 UTCThank you for taking time to feedback. I know there is a lot of Visual Novels, so I will study that and I see what I can bring to go out of the frame. I played some and the dialogues were boring so I understand people skip. I hope that for Behind The Dune people read at least once :) I try to make lines important (PCs don't talk about the food they eat at diner). TyranoBuilder export for PC/phone/Steam and I feel like there is a solution for being in many langages.
2020-10-28 23:41:28 +0000 UTCHello, glad to try this prototype ! I'm very enthusiast with this Victorian/occult atmosphere ! I understand that you switch from "Choose Your Adventure book" to visual novel, but I think it's a loss because there is a LOT of visual novel and Choose your Adventure was so refreshing ! (Honestly in visual novel people just pressing ctrl key to skip dialogs most of time) (But I understand issue identified. For me, it wasn't obvious, at first, when I was able to click to image and when it was going to change choices given by text) I don’t know TyranoBuilder, but anyway I think it’s a good move to try something else than flash (sadly for flash)

2020-10-27 19:12:04 +0000 UTCI wanted to download it to my cell phone but it showed me a message of danger and that information could be stolen, and I could not go down, when I get home from work, I will try again on the pc, I really like Art, nothing like a good group of sexy witches doing whatever they want
2020-10-27 18:37:54 +0000 UTCReminds me a little of the last express ...
