BROS, I've stumbled upon this game. It is very short and easy, but good. All you fans of Shivah, Blackwell Legacy, etc, try this out. Is it an AGS game as well and has style.

And it's free.

Those three screenshots tell a short and hilarious story.

Yeah, it was fun overall, but the fact that I finished it in an hour kinda sucked. And goddamn, was the main character's voice annoying. And goddamn at the plethora of stupid spelling mistakes (POSSESSIVE FORM OF 'IT' IS 'ITS' NOT 'IT'S', FFS).

But otherwise, it was fun.

Why the fuck is this so hard? Heck, my English is by no means perfect, but I always facepalm at such glaringly obvious mistakes.

HOW HARD CAN IT BE TO CORRECTLY USE "it's" AND "its", ALSO "they're", "their" AND "there" FFS

When I type, I type fast, and I don't always spell-check - especially on web forums. So when I think "their" my brain will find "they're" and that's what I'll type.

It's a fairly common mistake, and not because whoever's writing are spelling-idiots.

However, in a fucking game, you could have made a simple spell-check to get rid of all the errors.

Should I start an episodic LP thread that will go dormant for months while waiting for next parts of the game, y/n?

But it's clearly not even the matter of 'fast typing'. I don't believe I've seen a single proper use of 'its' in this game, and it pops up pretty often, I think.

Yeah, my comment was more on JL's general statement about mistaking it's and its.

I was playing it after being inspired to by your LP. then the fuggin thing goes and ends on me. So i come back to read your take on it and...and 'on hold' ONHOLD! :x with no episode 2 in sight.

I blame Calin Leafshade, lazy bam probably wasting time on the VO.

^ :cry:

Seems like Calin is going to finish this game off in a single episode.

I know I said it was going to be a trilogy but it seems like a 2 parter for this chronicle seems more suitable.

Features:
-An innovative new dialog system!
-More graphical effects than you can shake a stick at including:
Real time rain effects with depth of field and motion blur,
Magical particle effects!
Possibly some reflections on something..
-Updated graphics
-Less shitty writing, I promise.

Projected release date: May 2011 I hope.
