Need Beta Testers for school project game!

• Ninjam wrote on 2012-10-04 16:35
  This post is for a game I created for a Library Research Class. It has already been submitted, however please feel free to play the completed version and give feedback! All constructive criticism would be appreciated.
  I know my artwork is pretty bad, but for a first project I don't think I did too horribly.
  
  For all that are interested, my final score on it was 99/100.
  With a breakdown of 50 points for my annotated bibliography, 15 points for my annotated research log, and 35 points for the project itself.
  Considering the class is only 300 points or so, that 35 points was a significant portion of my final grade, so thank you all for helping me iron out all the glitches.
  
  Summary of game-[SPOILER="Spoiler"]You are a school librarian who is fairly normal, one day, an angry parent comes in to request that a stack of books be removed from the library for being inappropriate. You, as the librarian, must choose the best ways to deal with this situation.
  [/SPOILER]
  
  Game Mechanics[SPOILER="Spoiler"]This game is played with 4 buttons, and is primarily story based. Click an option to choose it. Different choices will appear as you progress through the game. You will get one out 4 endings, and may reset at any time.[/SPOILER]

  To run, extract the file and run it. It will open a setup window, choose a new installation path because the default one probably won't work. Also, try creating a folder in the destination, as the readme file will also be installed where the game's file is placed.

  [SPOILER="Spoiler"]
  All of these files are old releases, beta versions of the finished project.

  Updated with description of mechanics and release time. Please dont expect too much as my artwork even in the final version will still suck, and in its current state it's horrible.

  I noticed that if you deny the girl her book after refusing to take the books off of the shelves, you don't do any research, yet you're still able to use the 'Explain using research' option to counter the petition.
• Ninjam wrote on 2012-10-05 02:39
  Thanks for that one! That's exactly the kind of thing I knew would slip past me while im rushing like this. Ill check that out right now.
  
  No idea how that happened, as there is a boolean variable that is supposed to be true only if you view the research scene. I think i fixed it by just forcing it false on the problem scene.

  I don't see any other game errors so far, but I can comment on other things.
  
  If you ask the girl about why she wants the book, it'll say that you decide to research at the end of it, but it also come up as a choice, plus it restates it on the next page. It might sound better if you change the end of the first one to indicate you're more inclined to research the books(due to hearing the girls's reason for reading it), then you can decide to, just to keep from being repetitive to the reader.
  I should probably mention here that the research choice shows up alone on the second button, which somewhat contrasts to the keeping everything to the left style.
  
  You might want to put one or two spaces after each period, for appearance.
  
  Oh, and the game link you provide by the readme usually won't work for others, in case you didn't know.

  Ah yes, thanks for those. I forgot the shortcut used file paths from my computer. Thanks for the comments, those will be the first things I change tomorrow morning when i get back to working on it, as its time for bed.
  
  I will post updates when I have enough updated in it to make it worthwhile.
  
  All other comments are welcome, ill be sure to post the completed game when I am done and everything is submitted too.

  Which file would one extract in order to get the game to work?
