" It’s meant to just be some quick fun" said by the man himself - so get off his back about lack of back-story/checkpoints/depth/endings. He's just trying to keep us entertained while he works on other stuff folks.
I read a lot of CYOA books when I was a kid. I can't think of any one particular book that influenced me, but I will say that I was influenced by how the backstory of the universe would change within these books depending on the choice you made. That always bugged me, so I made a conscious decision early on to keep the backstory/universe consistent across the paths regardless of what the player chooses. It also kind of bugged me that the stories across the different paths of CYOA books were completely unrelated to each other, and there was no common thread between them. So I wanted the paths to have relationships to each other, even if they were mostly different. In my last game, Thousand Dollar Soul, I think the paths were way too similar, so I wanted to add more variety here, but I also wanted there to be common themes and a consistent backstory.
I'm a Christian but this game, not in a bad way, has really opened my eyes to certain philosophical questions/paradoxes. I'm so happy you took your time with this and forced us to come away after the game with a few more provoking thoughts. You've even made it enjoyable, which is something special, can't credit you enough bro. I really urge you to make more interactive-fiction that not only entertains us, but in an unbiased way, provokes us to think differently, because you're really good at it.
'Shane level Humiliation', your sense of humor never fails to make me laugh, great work Hyptosis, only developer I know that puts a a lot of hard work into the small things for the fans 5/5 no hesitation.
Oh, I'll just go on ahead opening these lockers now... HOLY SNAPPPP!!!!!
Not going to lie that was a nice touch, very rarely to theses types of games make me jump, well played. Shifty Bugger :P
The Sagittarian series deserve way more plays. People need to know about these games - but on the other hand it feels like my little secret game that only a of bad-asses play :) Keep it up Hypto
