This is the only way I'm going to read ulysses. The formatting in the files (not dev's fault) cause me some hiccups if i were going for Speediest Playthrough Ever because i have to get used to them first, but I still love this concept of typing game to the extreme (I have the non-ulysses version too.)
I mostly want to comment how funny it is that this game is now functioning as physical therapy for my shoulder 馃槀 Last night I slept without it popping crunchily into place, and when I tried to stretch-and-pop it when I put it under my partner's pillow, it was quiet. Even now it is no longer popping and feels better. I didn't intend for it to work that way, but I'm going to put it in my healing plans now, haha.
[Medical disclaimer!!! I am not a doctor. If you have an injury you should consult a medical professional.
I was not majorly injured when I picked this game back up 2 years later. I am basically uninjured, and just inconvenienced by asymmetric muscle because of unconscious habits and using that arm for my computer mouse. It's just really funny this turned out this way.]

This is so good! It lets you crop, gives you lots of control, has the "oops!"/undo button that THANKFULLY can undo an accidental "obliterate" because I absolutely had a panic when my mouse suddenly jerked over it (my fault.)
And in the options you can change colour scheme AND if it's meant to be transparent, which kind of gives you a fourth colour to work with, too.
and, while not bad, it may do to note for others that the markers and mask all go under the black tools above them. But the eraser does handle both at the same time on mask/transparent mode!
psst, some libraries offer affordable printing on regular printer paper like you'd use at home. It may take a few visits due to reasonable limits on it, but it could be available if that's accessible to you. Mine offers free X pages per week with my card, another one charged like a few cents USD per, what, 10 pages for colour, maybe? :3
Before I even get to playing yet, I wanna say: the writing in the rulebook is a delight. You have the perfect Cozy Tone and sense of humour.
Actually, I also find the order it's written to be incredibly nice, as well. Links to other sections are perfectly placed, and I thought I needed to know what skills/stats/options/traits the town experience had before I started playing (the Truths sections) but you know what? You were right! I was already scheming in my head anyway, and I did not need to know much more than what I wanted out of this game before we got to these questions.
OK maybe I could have used a lil bit on how items worked first, but I ended up rolling on the oracles by rolling a number and then choosing the most appealing answer from any of the item lists, repeat 3 times total, and I think that's going to turn out just fine.
ALSO ALSO, unlike the robust roleplaying games (with more firm rules, especially when multiplayer-centric) I actually uh... read most of the rulebook in one night just fine without overwhelm. Not all at once mind you, but it was a really nice change from the slogs I'm used to when the books are longer~
PS:I'm using another solo game establishing a character already, and decided to magically slip them between worlds to Iron Valley when their time there is done at the built-in end of the game. That's why I'm not playing this one quite yet c:
Could the description add information please? I think it could just do with 'there is no ending' (or if there is, what level it's on.) I think I'm currently meant to be happy with 14 attack and just-about-un-lowerable 99 health, since at level 100 it was no different.
I really like this and would love to see it more fleshed out--don't think I didn't notice the powers of some enemies! I also liked the one buff was "restore up to 6 health." Something to just about get you enough to get to the next health restoring tile. Since it's listed as "prototype" I'm not opting to give it a rating though, just this feedback<3
Yo, I love this. This is the first time I've used a solorpg since I knew the term was "solorpg." I thought the looser rules might send me away, since I'm used to more mainstream systems and cooperative storytelling. But no... I love this, it can actually take me a while to complete a day (even on only two actions. I blame the bird who changed the weather...) and while I was planning to just jot practical and mechanical notes down at first, I ended up drawing my character and animals thus far, and my notes became a shortform diary from my PC, and there's a lot of threads I can make consistent even through the brute randomness and the magic occurances. Anyway 5/5 probably playing more after I post this.
