I've been holding off playing the demo because I heard the full game is coming out soon and I wanna play it, so get that full game out there, guys! J/K, don't mean to rush. When can we expect it, anyway? Everything looks top-notch, by the way.

@Liberty: You don't have to, or anything. But I am glad you enjoyed it!
@Koff: Good to see I appealed to a, what can I say, casual reader. Thanks for reading! Wow, makes me wonder how many other people read that book.

I know Azn read it when I had it up on GW. I didn't know you did, Liberty! Or did I? Do you remember anything about it to give me any crits/comments?
Either way, thanks a lot for reading. I understand it's really not easy to read an entire novel on your computer screen.

Is there a function on this site that displays all the new posts since your last visit, instead of having to go into each board separately to see? If not, how come?

Yeah, so I write in my spare time and just thought I'd share three of my novels with you all. I doubt anyone's going to read any but it's worth a shot. Leave comments!
ME AND TOM UNDER THE BOARDWALK
Synopsis: The protagonist in this novel becomes aware he is in this novel in the first chapter. Realizing this, he undergoes an epiphany to make this novel the best he can make it. But how is he going to do that? You would think you would know these things from reading the back of this novel, wouldn't you? It doesn't help that the protagonist is the narrator and he knows less than you do already about this book. And it doesn't help that the first chapter begins with mutual masturbation and ends with a heinous murder.

TOGETHER WE ARE SPIDERS
Synopsis: In 2005 Trinidad and Tobago, the kidnapping of a young cyclist affects four different people: a boy who pretends to be Albert Einstein's great grandson who believes a curse has been put on his family; a wayward Muslim girl; a boy haunted by his girlfriend's doppelganger; and a past kidnap victim turned crime-fighter wannabe.

LITTLETOWN SECRETS
Synopsis: In Littletown, everyone has a secret. Realizing that they have no one to trust with these secrets, a young boy sets up a small business of "secret keeping": a dime per secret.
It is mostly successful due to the other children. And through these secrets the mystical dangers surrounding the town are revealed, such as the clock tower that houses a ghost, a mischievous imp lurking in the forest and the truth of the tree that gobbles up the birds perched on its branches. And through these secrets reveal childhood dilemmas such as bullies, rowing abusive parents, isolation and peer pressure.

A Home Far Away Review
This review touched on some of the problems most people had with the game:
1. The contrast between the first and second halves.
2. The main characters, including Skarsgaard.
3. The lack of story in the second half / No real climax / Too many quests.
I think when I first released this game ago about two years ago, I received a number of good reviews saying the main driving force for them were the supporting characters along the way instead of the two main ones. From then on, I figured that would just be the case. These two characters themselves have received mixed responses. Some I initially had more scenes scripted in the first half to detail more of Danais and Farrah but I took them out in the end because I felt it made the story drag. Maybe if I release a version 2.0, I'll re-include that.
Hm. I know I lifted the "Mayor" scene right from Majora's Mask, where the townspeople are all arguing with him. I also based the Quest Log, some of the mini-game ideas, day/night and even some of the town design after it (like the exits to each town leads to a different part of the world) so it was supposed to be more of an homage than scene-stealing, really, but I get your point. Didn't think it would've caused so much of a distraction, though, but I can understand. This is the first time I actually got this complaint, though.
The second half of the game (Willow) is where this game gets most of its criticism or most of its praise. It seems like a love it/hate it type of deal. There are things that could've been done better here, as you pointed out, such as giving more ready-made information about where the NPC's can be found and showing more of the effect your actions have done. These are things I could concentrate on fixing. As for your problem with the day/night thing, I was aware of that so I made an item available that could be used to switch from day to night instantaneously. It could be bought in the slums for 2 shillings each, I think. I dunno if you came across this or if it you did and it didn't help with this problem.
Anyway, overall, the review was very detailed and I always am interested reading the different opinions people have on this game. I'm sorry you couldn't have a better time with it, though. Hopefully you will with my upcoming project.
