Beta Test Information

I have tested this story on friends, and they have been very helpful in catching errors, but I will always miss something. If you have time I would be interested in feedback in the following areas;
1) Typos and bloopers
2) Ease of use of menus, navigating novel.
3) How easy is the story to understand. Could I make any aspects clearer?
4) Code ..Reading on auto. I added a script which is supposed to load this story so it is automatically in auto read mode. So far as I can tell this isn't happening. Thoughts welcome.
5) Any other ideas!

If time is short then any kind of feedback or ideas for improvement very welcome, even if you didn't finish the story.

The artwork you posted is an absolutely delightful break from what is usually seen at LSF. I'll download this.

EDIT: I finished reading it. I enjoyed the story, full of twists. I didn't see any obvious typos.
Some of my visual novels are at http://www.the-new-lagoon.com. They are NSFW
Poorly done hand-drawn art is still poorly done art. Be a Poser (or better yet, use DAZ Studio 3D) - dare to be different.

Thanks so much for reading Fleet!
This story took about three months to complete, but a lot of that time was in learning how to do things in Renpy.
I made a story previously, but that was based on an existing text, this is my own work.
In the end I simplified my ideas, and changed from a VN to a KN.
As you already know, some of the conventions of VN / KN storytelling don't make sense for 3d work, and this format works differently to film, graphic novels, illustrated books and of course plain text.
I've tried the story out on three friends, two movie makers and one novelist.
The vn /kn format was pretty new to them and they were surprised how immersive it is.
I can't help thinking that there are potential readers out there for non anime / manga renpy work...I just don't know where they are at the moment!!

Everyone needs encouragement and I so much appreciate your support, thank you!

Yes, the love story is maybe a little more complex than you are used to, but stick with it, and see how you feel at the end.
