What you need for a good choose-your-own-adventure game are:\r<br\/>-Good Writing\r<br\/>-Frequent Choices\r<br\/>The choices don't even have to be meaningful, but just putting a &quot;continue&quot; button down at the end doesn't constitute gameplay... and while the writing had some decent ideas, it really didn't hold up with as much attention as you were giving it. There were too many words, not enough happening, and the jokes were all very obvious and slightly dull.\r<br\/>If you want to make a choose-your-own adventure again at some point, make sure you put a lot more effort into making the writing flow better. Cut out fluff, assume your audience is familiar with cultural tropes - don't explain them.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The start of the game was promising. I was hoping the EULA would have the answers to some puzzles later on, but that expectation didn't pay off. But once the survey ended the game got about as dull as a data entry job."},{"author_name":"lkpridgeon","author_uid":"29028","time":"Sep 6, 2015 @ 2:54pm","epoch":1441550940,"text":"amras0000, Yeah I was sorta feeling the same way towards the end. The EULA was going to be extended as I was working on the game to go with it hence the hint of getting a pen and paper at the start. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I know towards the end it got a little off-putting and boring however I do plan to extend and rewrite some of it when I get chance. I never really intended it to be funny so I am sorry that it was rather stale in some areas.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I thank-you for playing and the constructive criticism of which I will take on board."},{"author_name":"lkpridgeon","author_uid":"29028","time":"Sep 6, 2015 @ 2:55pm","epoch":1441551000,"text":"Crowbeak, Okay.
