Questions about a storygame? Thoughts on Eternal? Any other IF you're playing out there?

Out of curiosity, and since I didn't set up a score system to tell me. . . what ending have people been getting?  I'm glad people seem to enjoy it so far, and I'd like to know if they're all getting the same ending.

Thank you, everyone!  Yes, I did.    (I have it in writing from march that I am the king of love and dating -- at this point.) 

I thought Snow Maiden would be the most common ending.  One of the other endings requires you to choose mostly bad/negative responses, and the other. . . I'm not telling.

i got the snow ending, is that it?

Snow

17 years ago
yeah, that's the harder one.

Snow

The original idea was more based on the yuki-onna legend. 

Also, I'd like to point out that I managed to write this one without naming any characters.

Snow

o yay! lol, damn the game is really good, played it about 3 times now!

Snow

17 years ago
well, then you're done.  There's only 3 endings. . .

Snow

17 years ago
well, i got snow maiden twice.. but i can kinda guess how to get the other negative one... and yeah, i noticed how there were no names... really nice!

Snow

17 years ago

yeah, i got the frozen ending lol...

Snow

you know, the original variable trigger for that ending was supposed to mean he didn't love her-- but even in that ending he did. 

They had names, but I thought it would have more appeal if they could be from anywhere that has snow.  The hardest parts were the first rocks scene, and actually the part where she gets off the bus.  It's hard to describe a bus stop without a street name.

Snow

lol true, but you accomplished it well!

did you get the willow tree scene?

Snow

yes - had to double check it's maturity rating but you're in the clear.  I was pretty sure I had seen everything in the game (and then went into the game to make sure) - i was actually upset to see that there were ONLY 3 endings.  lol - of course that's better than most.

Snow

yes, i got the willow tree thing too.

I thought about adding a piece at the beginning to censor that part if someone didn't want to read it.  But then I figured, there's only one way to reach that page, and I did rate it "I'll need to see some identification."    Darn it's hard to write tasteful, descriptive, yet not too descriptive love scenes.

Adding a piece right before the scene would have ruined the flow.

(Yeah, yeah, write one game with 13 endings, and all of a sudden everyone expects 15 endings for your next one. . .)

Snow

ahhah! lol, well i thought 3 was good enough for this story!

Snow

The game actually has high replay value.  It's beautifully written and it's short with a variety of different responses that you can choose.  I really start to feel for this girl - and i'm happy there's no names because then I can imagine it however I want.  Seth, you may look at it like simple scripting - I see it as a really wonderful story.  I've seriously played it like 5 times today.

One tip for the next one: LONGER

Snow

Snow

Snow

Snow

What methamphetamine addict gave Snow a 1? Someone must be out of their minds. Can't wait till that accepted idea is implemented.

Snow

it shouldnt count on the overall rating for snow. since it is an extrenous variable. from what i remember from alex, those are not factored into the actual overall rating since they are outside the standard deviation. that whole statistics thing again. lol but yes, having a goober rate it a 1 without commenting why is crappy.

The thing is, Snow is awesome. We all know that. But that's not really my point. You know if something (anything; book, movie, game) is good if there are the two factions (lovers and loathers). I mean, if there were no loathers, it'd be perfect, right? Well, for that very reason, it wouldn't be perfect.

So when did I lose ya?

Snow

You didn't, but to rate something a 1 "to poop on" is just ridiculous, for anything of that caliber. I mean, I hate certain stories but I rate them because they are well done, thought out, written nicely, creative, etc. The only 1's I give are things like "MAG IS GOING TO DIE" or some of those other ones that just get deleted because they obviously entailed no work.

Snow

DEATH TO MAG!!!, not MAG IS GOING TO DIE. lol .
Same here, man. Always give constructive criticism and a rating of at very least 2 if you can tell that the person put effort into his/her story. The only stories that deserve 1's are the ones that hardly deserve to be called 'stories'.
