Today was more sleeping, but I did do work and then also wrote up some tests for Quoll while I smoked weed and watched Utena
I basically have the same scene written in two different ways, but for two possibilities when it could happen... The player can choose to take the tutorial immediately and get the exercise at the end of it, or decide to just be given the exercise but then take the tutorial if they change their minds.
One of the challenges of writing interactive fiction of all types is that a section of a conversation may happen at different points within the conversation. This is especially tricky because when I wrote the main tutorial path, I peppered it with callbacks to earlier parts of the conversation.
You know like how people usually remember what was already said in a conversation with some degree of fidelity and certainty?
I think I'm going to eventually have to do a fuller editing pass of the game but I'm doing pretty good right now.
