I wasn't expecting such a quick response. :D
Viewing post in CyberHimbo v0.03 is out! comments
Alright. As some of the others have posted, I *really* love the whole Dave encounter. Of course, despite being the initiator in that, I still leaned into the sub aspect. Riker is rather hot too and I was surprised he wasn't in the update at all. I got the impression the bar is going to be very central to all future events and Hank is going to be a kind of 'grounding' force for the MC. I also get the impression that poor Ian is going to be a victim no matter how it plays out. LOL.
From a technical point of view, I actually like how conversations work visually and the writing is good. Of course, there will always be the odd typo that slips through the cracks (Poor Ian likes confidence instead of lacks confidence - I think that was the typo). That bathroom at the bar looks fantastic! I was hoping there was a scene in there but alas... maybe in the future.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how this plays out. I also hope that the choice you make at creation will also play a part in the MC's life direction and not just be initial skills. Is this going to be an open-world type game (such as Young Marcus, Hornstown, etc) or is this closer to a CYOA? Either way is fine (hoping for the former but fine with the latter too). :) If there's anything specific you want my take on, feel free to mention it.
You're awesome! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It's super helpful. And thanks for spotting the 'like' typo. (It should indeed be 'lack').
Yes, my ambition is to create more of an RPG like experience where you can freely explore different areas and storyline as you'd like.
And... there are quite a few scenes in the bathroom 😉.
⚠️ Spoiler alert:
- You have a scene with Ian in the bathroom. Talk to him about muscle growth, and then go buy some supplements from Hank. The scene will vary greatly depending on how you answer in the muscle growth conversation.
- Hank will offer you to clean the bathroom for a few credits if you are running short (you need to spend all you money first, though)
- You can have scene with Hank in the bathroom if you take a pill in front of him
- And... if you offer to help Ian with his confidence issue, he will get more dominant very quickly 😉
