I really like your game and I understand that you like difficulty and choices but there is just to much stuff where I have no idea if I'm chasing my own tail around for somthing that isn't implemented yet or a bug or something and there is just no clear path to what I should do right now.
If your game was more user friendly or there was a good current guide for it, I would be much more likely to support.
Anyway you've done a lot of good things with it and I hope to see a more polished version in the future, cheers.
Yeah I get that. There's an overarching arc that intertwines all the individual storylines, it's hard to do a full walkthrough at the moment. Also different stats and decisions will lead different paths. But it's not as complex as it seems. It just means you need to time certain things. It's just a problem of developing a sandbox game. The end of the first arc will make more sense as every individual storyline will reach the first conclusion at the same time.
For example, like the questions below, you need to have done the SOL case and seen certain scenes with the vanderbilt family before you can continue with Sophia's exams and Catherine visits you. It seems weird in an update, but if you play from a full game perspective, the hint will tell you to wait for the results. So while waiting, the player will be playing other stuff until he continues the story to that point. After which, the results will appear automatically. Things like that. This occurs throughout the game.. It will feel much more organic for a new player up until the point where we develop the game.
Regarding puzzles, it's just the way it is. It will always be a part of the game. I'll release walkthroughs for each puzzle segment on patron every update and that will have to do until the stats/choice/story walkthrough can be implemented.
how long do i have to wait for Sophia's exam results
I think it's on the following Monday Afternoon.
Edit - She takes the exam then, and if you fail she tells you, but not if you succeed (I guess - I'm still at this part).
In the meantime, since I couldn't find a walkthrough for her exam questions, here's one I made for myself. I
think I've got the answers correct (from script files).
Code:
Biology
-------
Spleen (tiny one on right)
Flower
Elephant
Ostrich
bioluminescence
Maths
-----
20(Kg)
? = 6
36 days
6 = 3
Space 87
History
-------
Adolf Hitler
Princess of Qajar
[Flags: 0,0,0,
1,0,1]
Monrovia
Stonehenge
For those waiting for results, if you fail, you will know and have to continue revising. If you pass, you would just have to wait till her results come back. (Which triggers after you've done the SOL case and seen the vanderbilt family scene.
