I know it's a text based game but I'd love it of we could get ro see some images of the areas we are exploring along with the description, as well as maybe some character images

You're in luck! Maybe! It's going to take a while but my goal for Signal Hill is to convert it into a more traditional video game format taking inspiration from visual novels, with 3D or 2D character portraits and environments.

While I like the overall design, please consider a way to play without it being on a TV screen. It's difficult for me to read on a tiny box in the middle of my already small laptop screen 😞

actually so sick you have no idea (well i guess you do you made it)

Why 'R.I.P Jared' achievement can to acquire multiple times? like bug from casino

This will be fixed in the next update, thank you!

yooo i got the socialist identify

Are identities like Merc supposed to be possible to acquire multiple times?

Oh my! No, there should be code that prevents that. I'll do a pass over those to make sure they're all working correctly for the next update. This won't mess up your save at all, it'll just look a little silly.

Thank you for letting me know!

" if you ever get a chance to kiss a rich girl, you'll see, those fancy tinctures they put on their lips taste like candy..." ...Ma'am how did you know that? 🤨

Just tested out the demo! it was great, and I enjoyed the storyline and the customization options so far! I only have one issue... there's still a few errors here and there while playing that can be frustrating but I'm sure it'll be fixed in the future with more updates. Keep up the good work! I look forward to the full game! 

This is amazing! Aside from getting stuck at one point, I love the atmosphere and vibe. I can't wait for the full version!!!

Hey for some reason I get an error when I try to save and I was wondering if you know anything. I really love the game and I can't save my progress.

(1 edit)

Hey! Without knowing the exact error I'm not sure exactly what the problem is, but Twine saves your progress using your browser's cache, so things that block that (like some ad blockers or cookie blockers) will prevent it from saving properly. If you have any extensions, try disbling them temporarily to see if that's the issue. You can also save to disk, which will save the data as a file on your computer instead. If using the itch.io app, try enabling autoname.

Hey! Congrats on the game demo coming out, it looks great! 
A little side note, I've been looking to getting into making a Text adventure leaning on the RPG side of things mechanic wise, and was thinking of using Twine?
I was wondering if you could give me any tips, hint or recommendations you've learnt along the development road, I know a bit of programming but would probably have to learn the Sugarcube format syntax (I'd prefer the more flexibility with making mechanics such as your dice rolling!)

This was a bit of a monologue so thank you for sticking with it! Any help would be incredible, so thank you!

Hey! I'd love to help you out! It can be a little intimidating at first, but once you've gotten the hang of it you can do pretty much anything with Twine!

My biggest general advice is to figure out what you want to do first, and then work backwards. For example, I didn't know how to accomplish the clothing system, I just decided what I wanted it to be like and figured out how to do it from there. You learn more from needing to do something to accomplish a goal than from reading about how to do something in the abstract.

My two other big pieces of advice are to find and use other people's macros (there's no point reinventing the wheel, if somebody's already made a superior inventory system, go with that!) and use widgets very liberally. The widget macro basically lets you run the same big block of Twine code using just one line, and with a big RPG style thing like this, it really comes in handy. When a scene ends, instead of manually typing in or copy and pasting all of the necessary code, I can just slap in "<<completelead>>" and all of that is done for me. Be thrifty, conserve your time.

If you ever need any specific help, please feel free to send me a message or an ask over on my tumblr!

Thank you ever so much! All of this will be suppperrr helpful, and I might ping you a message on Tumblr at somepoint if I do get really stuck with anything hehe

It looks not that bad from the outside, but I think learning the lingo and mechanics might take a while.

But yeah, all of this is great advice! Again, thank you!

Glad to be of help!
