Hey guys!

Chapter Two is here! 🥳 After a few mishaps and long writing/brainstorming sessions, I have completed the chapter. I’m super excited for you all the read through it, and excited to move to the next chapter!

Just a quick note- I had a small issue where I had worked on the game file for a while, got halfway done with chapter two, and then… I accidentally uploaded an older file and it deleted all of my work away to the state it was when I started chapter 2. 😅 That is to say… Almost back to square one entirely. I also had an issue with the background image for some reason… It wasn’t loading properly. So I had to find a new one, and by that point I just decided to create an entirely new file for Kenneski. 

So! TLDR; You will need to restart the game entirely [old saves will not work on this new game]. But! You will WANT to, because I rewrote the beginning, and made a lot of edits throughout the entire chapter. 

Anyway! In this chapter, you…

  • Meet Magister Imizael! Yay!
  • Hang out with Roman for a bit. 
  • Hang out with Sazora for a bit.
  • Clean “The Examination” room.
  • Maybe come face-to-face with a certain mystery person…? 👀
  • Ask Sazora and Roman some important questions.
  • Find out Magister Wylder might have been lying to you!
  • Hang out with Magister Wylder for a bit.
  • Read some books! Learn some stuff!
  • Hang out with Halson for a bit. 
  • Dinner time! Nothing bad happens to you, I swear… 😁
  • Realize that there’s something weird about yourself…
  • Get sick!

I hope you all enjoy! Please let me know if there are any errors anywhere- with screenshots if you can! I know there are probably a lot of little grammatical errors, I will hopefully be going through and editing the little details in a few weeks. 😅

See you guys later!

Also! I made character sheets for the 4 main ROs. [With my crappy artist skills lmao]

Wow, this is great. Huge improvement from last time I read, I presume you found a good proofreader. The writing could still be improved in a few places, but its minor enough that it doesn't really impact my enjoyment. I love to see it and loved the new chapter, good work!

Small note: to avoid needing separate capital/lowercase pronouns you could do smth like this

thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!! 😊 I have 4 proofreaders now and 1 is super thorough! 😁 

Ah, scripts... my arch nemesis. I'll look into this, thank you!! I knew there was some way to do that but I wasn't sure where to start 😂 

Thanks again!!

Scripts are nightmarish but you should just be able to copy+paste out of that forum post and get it working fine. Your template also should have some scripts already so you can just tack it on to the end of that probably.

Also quick tip: if you dont want to use the uppercase macro every time you put a pronoun at the start of a sentence, you can actually work it so that the backend still has the pronouns. You'd just have to add a few lines that are like <<set $her_uppercase to ucfirst($her_lowercase)>> after each pronoun set.

Honestly though its kinda a crime that Twine doesn't just have a way to do this normally. Like, in a text-based game software you'd expect to have basic text manipulation functions baked in lol. Oh well :P

awesome, thank you! I will definitely be looking into this. [I am known for breaking codes even if it's just copy and paste LMAO] 

and exactly my thoughts. It would make life so much simpler, but... gotta work with what we have I guess haha 😁
