Walkthough Spoilers
🕑 Added 2021-11-13 12:21:35 +0000 UTCHi Guys and Girls,
I've nearly finished the walkthrough, but as I've been doing it, I've noticed something that I would like your feedback on.
Whereas a third party walkthrough can look into my code and see a flag, for example, Flag A, that is set when you perform an action and they can report the choice gives the flag, they don't know what it does in the future.
So if in their walkthrough they report "Picking Choice C gives you Flag A", the future consequence of Flag A is not revealed. I however, know exactly what Flag A is going to do, and this has presented me with a problem when making the walkthrough.
Do you want massive spoilers like that included?
For example, there is currently a decision already in the game that will cause the death of a team member in the finale if selected. Nobody knows what that choice is, except for me. So in making the walkthrough, do you want these future consequences to be listed with the choice, or would you rather that only the current affects are listed?
For example, if Flag A caused a date with Steph on Wednesday, but also caused a huge fight with Jenna on Sunday (v.0.12 is Friday), would you want the want the walkthrough to only tell you about the current content, the date with Steph, or would you want it to tell you it will cause a date with Steph and a fight with Jenna in a future update. This is just a theoretical example.
I've looked at it from the view that some people will only be using the walkthrough for "How to get this scene" and won't want to know huge future spoilers, whereas others might be using it for the "Perfect Ending" and want to know exactly how to get there. I'm only going to be making one though, this has taken long enough without doing two.
I hope this makes sense and you understand what I mean. Let me know (but vote quickly if you have an opinion, as I am nearly finished with it) your preferences. I'll also be releasing a draft for people to give me feedback on, so if you want the draft sent to you to read, look through and provide feedback on before the final version please either react to the post in Discord or send me a message with your email address/Discord username for me to send it to when the first draft is done.
Thanks for all the new and continued support,
WP
