DISCUSSION : Thriller Contest šŸ‘»

Nice!

Hmm… It could work?

On topic: I have to throw in an actual, important choice at some point in the first episode! I have limited customization, clothing choices… During the scene with the protagonist and her mother’s fight, after her mom slaps her…

If it helps: when I plan my stories, I usually have at least a rough idea of the endings (if the story doesn’t have to be published complete) and then I figure out how I plan to utilise choices/points. Points are easy- you can easily throw in choices that impact a character’s relationship with other characters or that impact how a character will react to certain situations. Those choices don’t even necessarily have to impact the ending, but they could still impact scenes throughout.

My thriller entry uses both points and gains (just to keep this on topic lol) and endings are determined based on a combination of clues found, points with a particular character, another point stream and direct choices.

I just managed to delete an entire scene before saving :sob:. Stupid touchpad.

@loveyourself I believe so :slight_smile: I’m sure there’s one floating around here somewhere.

I was going to add a final countdown meme, but I don’t think I even have time to do that.

I know the deadline is like tonight lol, but the guides say not to depict murder. My MC murders someone in my entry but it isn’t seen but strongly implied, do you guys think that okay?

If it can’t be seen, there’s no excessive gore and you’re not promoting murder then that’s fine :slight_smile:
