Storygames
Alexandra and Hamilton Gates have always been intrigued by their parents work as a historian and archivist. They have grown up hearing stories of lost treasures and ancient civilizations, and they have always dreamed of following in their parent's footsteps. When their parents go missing, leaving them a cryptic message about a lost Aztec treasure, they know that they must take up the search themselves.
As a fan of the National Treasure movies, it's your turn to make history and join the fun - keep your Battery charged, avoid Dead Ends, read HISTORICAL maps - and finish with a perfect 100 SCORE! So sit back, buckle-up and enjoy the ride.
OK, here we go. It was 1832, on a night much like this...

How to add "double quotes"+$PAGETEXT
on 5/17/2024 4:18:21 PM
How can you add double quotes in the scripted text if the double quotes is the indicator of text. I tried single quotes and two double quotes but I can't seem to get it to work.
My variable controls what name to use at the beginning of the page and then the page text continues. The issue is the name from the variable is spoken by the character so it needs to be proceeded by a double quote.
This doesn't work because of the two double quotes together before the Name:
IF %VAR = 1 =: ""Name," = $PAGETEXT
Any suggestions?

Thanks Alienrun for your constructive criticism, I changed some things you noted (the battery can't be fully charged) and will publish it soon. The prose is still flowery, but hey, so am I :D - I hope you'll give it another chance.
As I mentioned in another post here, 'It's more of a game then a multi-path story. There are sidetracks and dead ends and currently I've found only found one way to score 100 and find the treasure too. I have enjoyed playing it and I hope others agree and accept the challenge.'
Play-testing Anyone?

Thanks DireRyse for giving it a look, I agree with you and Peng, it is fanfic. Nick Cage!
I've played through it multiple times, so I think it's ready to publish.

Oh, and there's also a 'red herring' so I hope that doesn't upset folks :D

Thanks PerforatedPen.
I have a few goals:
1. To get players to play-test my other storygame.
2. To get players to test the variables and page script in the story above.
3. To poll players as to how
Gakekeepers should be categorized.
The results so far:
1. FAILED :(
2. COMPLETED (found nothing noteworthy)
3. SUCCESS (1 vote for Fan Fiction)

Playing to the end might help you understand my intentions for the battery. The battery is simply a delay. Delays and Dead Ends are elements of the game. I’m taking a risk by annoying the reader, I know, but dealing with frustration is part of treasure hunting. Remember the objective is to have fun, find the treasure and SCORE 100.
Alienrun, you’ve been very helpful. Thanks to you, I know I have successfully created frustration. ;-D

Wow! I'm so glad you liked it.
I added this script to fix the overcharging issue: IF %BATT > 100 THEN %BATT := 100
