Zombie survival
"No one knows how this started or what we're supposed to do... The world doesn't seem to care whether you're living or dying... It seems God has turned his back on us."
"There were signs, if only we'd taken them. We thought the whole thing would eventually blow over like everything else usually does. If only we knew..."
This is a fun story of mine with emphasis on the horror aspect of a real zombie apocalypse. Similar rule set as infected in 28 Days Later.
It's a warm, sunny day when during school, news breaks out that a nuclear bomb has been dropped on a city miles away from from you. You and the rest of your classmates are ordered to stay put and wait until further notice. The staff try their best, but nobody has been told what to do in the event of nuclear war in decades!
The Mystery of the Mountain will follow the protagonist in their adventure to discover the reason why strange things are happening in the Pine Mountain range. What was once an obscure interest eventually becomes a demand for answers, as something about it feels oddly... Familiar.
Although primarily story based, this game will feature play style options that will greatly affect the narrative.

STATS Page on 3/11/2025 9:42:55 PMHey dude I know I'm like sUper late but I think I might've gotten my neanderthal brain to get the basics of how to actually work this stuff. If you have any advice or script I'd appreciate it. Thx

That is so cool. I feel like you guys who are ninja with javascript and stuff like that are magicians and I am like a caveman. I don't know HOW you are able to change the properties of games like that. Do you just get a link or something from javacript and add it to the story somewhere? Anyway, welcome to the site! Sit down by the fire, grab a drink and make yourself comfortable

I must admit I'm pretty new to the coding and computer-ey kind of stuff so it would probably take me a few to figure it out, but otherwise I think I could do it. Just a tad bit overwhelming

Although I'm not a completely "established" story writer here yet, I think I have some valuable contribution when it comes to the writing and refining aspect.
I recommend editing, editing, editing, editing. For me, most of the time what I write first does not end up being the final copy, but more a rough description of the main ideas or events I want to convey. Like the "facts." It's from editing it the right way it becomes like having an "experience" through the words.
My mindset when editing is to read it as if I wasn't the one who wrote it at all, and just get what the words are putting out, independent of all the stuff I already know about the story. Get what the words are saying as if you don't know anything about the story already, because that's what a new reader is going to read. I like to view it in the story viewer even to really get a feel of the whole experience. Then when you get into the editing, and really having the ideas you want to put and jumping into that world, it's like painting in a sense.
Oh, and have patience

Hey guys, I'm making a storygame where stats play an important role in what the protagonist can and can't do, and need a way for the player to be able to see their stats throughout the game.
I noticed in The Price of Freedom: Innocence Lost by Avery_Moore that they were able to create a STATS page next to the GO BACK and RESTART buttons that show how your stats continuously change throughout the story, and I was wondering how they did it.
I figure if I could manage that, it might be easier than making a bunch of different links at the bottom of every page to show their stats in that specific moment, and more aesthetically pleasing than just putting them on every page. Thanks for any help
