(old demo removed)

date: 2/5/19

This is a fangame/interactive choose your option fanfic  loosely based off the x-men mythos both comics and movies.   It deals with a lab-born survivor of Transigen  getting used to living in Genosha and coping with their trauma via body modification. Some transhumanist/cyberpunk themes. Various references to the x-men canons.

I have a very unfinished version listed above.  My main goal for this jam is to get more of this story finished and learn how to program in twine.  I'm recovering from surgery so work on this project has been slow.

So far, none of the body modification options are working and only the hair dyeing option has anything written in it. "Boat" has some words in it.  And the cellphone options for who to call is only partially done as well.  

My current goal is to get the "boat" thread done and finish up the "elijah" thread.

Content Warnings

Here's the complex twine map, I'm hoping to fill out and add to, over the next week and a half.

This game is not going to be done in time by the end of the jam, I can already tell LOL. It has multiple endings. Most of the storylines are just rough concept right now, but I have concrete work now on the "Ocean" storyline/thread! I pared down a lot of the body modification options and I'm going to interweave those with the "Family" storylines, where you interact with your various half-siblings and parental figures. 

Some of those will have them helping you with body modding options while others will disapprove and try to put a stop to it. There's also what I call the "Ouch this hurts" body mod options via the diy tattooing and scarification but I'm not sure if those will be interwoven with the Family storylines or left as its own branch.

The world's half constructed so I had to patch out a backstory for Elijah whose a reference to the Onslaught character in X-men.

Right now my main goal is have the Ocean storyline done by end of this week, I still have to figure out the variables in programming and finish writing out the tailskin options before moving on to the character's hair pieces before the end. I also want to attach pictures of the various animals that your tailskin is based off. (The character has a cybernetic hovering fishtail that replaced their legs) If I have time, I also want to draw out the inside of the character's fishing boat.

I also need to add "intro page" explaining who you are, and all that jazz

I mostly finished the neoprene top page today. Just have one little bit to finish. I ended up cutting out the hair accessory options I wanted to work on. But I'm started to feel burnt out so -snip.- It was a bit stressful trying to figure out what I wanted to type, psychologically overwhelming. Just gotta finish the two endings then. Guh. The body painting page is defintely gonna need to have its ending merged with it. Two pages is better then four to write for.

Here's a peek of the coding that went into that page. Certain paragraphs will only show depending on what tailskin you choose earlier in the story.

Since this jam ends on the 16th, I think having this storyline ready to play in a rough draft/cleaning up the other pages is my end goal. 

THEN I AM TAKING A BREAK AND WORKING ON OTHER PROJECTS! (like the prequel to this game)
