Hello, again. So, I tested the game and it wasn't working properly, something with the coding of the pages. Anyway, I fixed it but when I test-play it on my phone, it works fine but on my computer it isn't. Can someone else test it, just so I know if my computer's the problem?

Also, just to let you know, there are some pages with no links, it's because I haven't finished yet.

What's the problem? Nothing seems wrong on my end.

Okay, so before, I made it that when you go to the LakeClan link, it gives you points. Then I decided that it doesn't give you points and edited it. But on my computer it still gives me score points and that messes up the linking and coding. But on my phone it works fine.

I'm not getting any points when I go to LakeClan. If you had it open when you made the change, try restarting the game.

It still didn't work, so I tried editing it on my phone instead, and now it works with the computer and my phone. wink

... You know, to be honest, I might actually end up liking this game. I mean, genuinely liking it. I have a soft spot for healer characters and herbalists / gatherer quest characters. But it's a bit sparse on text / descriptions / world building and that concerns me. I mean, the content isn't ... bad, but it could definitely be bulked up and improved. Still, I really do like the concept.

Thanks! I've been spending a lot of time making the links and coding them, so I didn't really pay attention to the words. But when I finish, I'll probably add more.

Right. I can understand that, but I have seen people who think that game mechanics alone are enough to carry a 'storygame' and they really aren't, not unless it's something like ... well, the Everything Else category, I guess. I can get wrapped up in scripting and mechanics myself, but I try to remember that they're only meant to enhance the story, not be a substitution.

I agree, though if two stories had the same plot, and one was with advanced and the other basic, most people would choose advanced, due to it's neatness. But that's my opinion! I like basic since it's, well, basic.

This one is a lot better than most WC games. Probably will get 5/8 rating or more.
