Beating Hearts (Fantasy)

#1 Post by TigerAlpaca »

I would post screenshots of the entire game so far, but only a small part is playable due to errors.

But anyway; I've been working on this for months now with my friend, and work on it should resume soon.

It's based on the next generation of characters from my book, Aceitols, and I still haven't made up my mind on the rest. And also it'll include jumpscares and the like, although they haven't been added yet. This is part of the code below (the code with an error which I'm yet to fix).

Code: Select all

menu:
                    
                  "Ask Eryn about it":
                    
                    jump truepath2
                          
                  "Don't ask":
                        
                    jump neutralpath2
                         
                label funny1:
                    
                    r "Well, I wouldn't know how to control my powers because I don't have any!"
                    
                    "Behind the teacher's back I saw Ella smack her head against her desk in annoyance. On the plus side, the rest of the class was laughing."
                    
                    t1 "I wasn't asking if you had powers, believe or not I don't actually care. I was asking about the topic I had just been teaching, and it appears you weren't listening."
                    
                    t1 "After class detention with me, %(player_name)s."
                    
                    "There were many outraged cries but the teacher silenced them all with a flick of her hand. Ella glared at me and a note landed on my desk."
