What part of the game did you have the most fun developing? Looks really interesting!

No contest- the moral choice moments. I knew from the outset I wanted the player to have a lot of autonomy in how they approached narrative problems. That means for one dynamic encounter there can be 10+ different "endings" to how it turned out depending on dialogue and mechanical decisions the player made. Seeing those scenes come together is magical for me :).

Thanks for answering! That must be very satisfying to see it all come together. How much do the encounter "endings" alter the users experience? I imagine there is only so many "big" effects one encounter can have on the story?

Most quests involve the potential of NPC death in some way (as the player character is a doctor) so they majority of the quests have the long-lasting consequence of those characters' presence in the story later on. Most of those NPCs are side characters, but some do have larger roles to play in the story. Also, almost every single quest affects the survival statistics the player is managing throughout the game bringing genuine mechanical consequences.

As far as the actual endings for the full game, only one secret ending is unlocked through a quest. Two of the other endings are fail states if the player character dies somehow, and the other two possible endings are based on a narrative decision toward the end of the game.

Hello /u/tyeishing,

There is not enough proof included in the post that connects your identity to the IAmA.

Unfortunately, the links or photos you've posted could have been posted by anyone, and they don't prove that you are the person doing the AMA. Your proof needs to be something that connects the fact that you're doing an AMA with your identity. This could be something like a photo of you in a work uniform or at a relevant location with a sign that has your username and the date. It could also be documents (partially redacted if desired) with a note that has your username and the date. We're happy for you to get creative with your proof as long as it makes it clear to a reasonable person that the person doing the AMA does meet the criteria laid out in the topic of the AMA.

If you can't think of a way to prove your claims publicly, you can also submit confidential proof to the moderators at this link, though bear in mind it may take some time to review.

Here's a link to the section of our wiki that discusses proof.

Please edit your post and add new proof, and reply here to let us know. If your post is more than a couple of hours old, it may be more effective to create a new post and include the proof from the start. Thanks!

If you'd like to appeal, please click here to send a message to the moderator team.
