Book 5 Early Access: Chapter 11
🕑 Added 2021-05-15 16:09:14 +0000 UTCWhile it may be just one chapter this month, Chapter 11 is a behemoth: a monster that I'm glad to have behind me! It probably should've been made into two chapters, but I felt the entire heist scene needed to be done in a single shot. While every chapter needs to be able to stand on its own, this one especially has a defined beginning, middle, and end.
There are more [action] and decision-type choices in this chapter than any other. As I was editing and programming it into choicescript, I came to regret that design decision. This approach leads into more of a game-y style of choicegame that--while it can be fun to read--is incredibly unfulfilling and unfun to write!
No worries, though: I return to my old ways in the next chapter!
One of the big issues we choicegame authors face is making sure the player has the same information regardless of what choice they make, so that they (and the MC) can act on it going forward. The last thing you want is a continuity error, so you end up spending a lot of time and mental resources keeping track of tiny details and variables instead of telling the best story you can! (;*´Д`)ﾉ
But enough of my angst! Let's get this show on the road!

The plot thickens! I'm excited to see where it leads. This chapter was very entertaining and heartbreaking at the same time. I hope you're not going to kill off entire cast :p ...
