The story itself brought tears to my eyes. I felt her pain with her. She got through the "escape" part all right - with the adrenaline pumping and the loudspeakers blaring but now that there is a relative calm and she has time to realize just how much she's lost - well, it hits her very, very hard. It was so realistic with the pain, the retching, sickening feeling, the despairing withdrawal from life with only one little flicker of hope - maybe finding her son. With only an empathetically programmed robot to help, it was a close call.
You've made some massive sets so far with terrific storytelling. There's a meaning with every image and I feel as if Im reading a comic book or watching a sci-fi movie/tv-serie. Superb use of excellent poses to show the variety of thoughts and feelings, going through her mind. I very much enjoyed this whole serie so far, even if I decided to comment on this one only.
Tremendous work and equally tremendous captures, Mila!
It gave me a lot of pleasure to read it in the morning.
Maybe you will be pleased with the fact that for many years I was a member of the live role-playing games?)
This is when people develop together the story of the game, then going and drive out of town for a few days with costumes and fake weapons to play live is what they came up with))) I joined this movement at the University and still, though much less frequently, travel to such events (sometimes even with my daughter).
I am now 36 years old if we talk about age. My first role-playing computer game was The Neverwinter Nights. Then The Baldur's Gate and BG2. Well, and further - Morrowind, the Elder Scrolls, Skyrim, Fallout (the whole series)...
For me, all my characters in the game are different people with different stories and preferences. Despite the fact that the story itself puts a fairly rigid framework for how you can act, the console and a huge number of great mods for the game open up a truly incredible opportunity for what it will be in your game. We all have different Fallout!
I admit, this story is very personal, and it is much more close and interesting to me in the first place because I can relate myself to the heroine. I am close to her pain from the loss of loved ones, despite the fact that I did not lose my husband, I lost my father and one of my cousins. That's probably why my sets are so emotional. I saw the incredible grief of my mother and know that the person that has just lost a spouse, are simply not capable for some time, in principle, to move on with your life, even with the strongest motivation as the search for the stolen child.
Bonus for you (this pic was captured when my daughter is 3 y.o. Now it's 10 already. She's name is Elisabeth):
Secondly, I'm sorry to hear about your losses. I still ahve my both parents alive, although my mother is going trhough a cnacer treatmant at the moment. "Luckily" it's one of the "better" ones with a 95% comeback possibility. She's half-way through her treatment, has lost her hair (obviously because of the medification), but feels happy and strong so far.
And thirdly - that's nearly my background as well, only I never did LAJV (as we call it in Sweden), but it sure is something I regret. I did spend about then years from age 13 to about 22, 23, playing boardgame RPG's (mostly two games, a Swedish version of classic Dungeons and Dragons, but also a game called Mutant which has actually became a video game a few months ago, and it takes place in a Swedish postapocalyptic worldspace). I got hooked on video games when our boardgame with dices and pen n' paper ended, so my first introduction was actually Baldur's Gate (so happy about the news about a BG 3 coming) and Icewind Dale, then Neverwinter Nights in which I've made many characters for Skyrim as well. I missed out on Morrowind and Oblivion a bit, since I had a run with Mass Effect and Dragon Age instead. I have both TES games too nowadays, but I at the time I was ready for them, Skyrim was released and stole my entire time schedule...
I know I've spent a lot of hours on video games, but I'm divorced since eleven year back now with two teenagers - a daughter and a son - living with me every second week, all year around ever since. I also went heavily into depression and developed a social phobia which still holds me down with it's dark claws. The real world is very close of course thanks to my kids, but I mostly spend my days when I'm alone, either playing or writing stories of my own. Life didn't turn out the way I would've thought when I was a mentally stronger young man, but at the same time, my interests have kept me out of the deepest of darkness for more than half of my 45 years of age...
And I can perfectly understand your pain from divorce, cause I went through it about 7 years ago, When my first marriage was falling apart I was so mad and confused that moved in with my little daughter into a Moskow (more over 8 hours of flight from the city we left). When the time to go to school for her had come, she spent last summer with my ex-husband and his mom and suddenly(!) decided to come back to them and go to school in her birth town. Well, it is obvious that they talked to her in. I was shocked. But have not to be a monstrous mother and divide a child with her family - cause father and grandma sure family as well as I am and my mom - I let her go.
Now we can see each other on Skype and once in a year I come to their city to see my daughter eye to eye) Past 4 years was an incredibly hard time for me. I literally was saved from myself by a second marriage with a blessed man) And now I can say that it was a good decision to let her go because I see and feel how happy she is with her grandma and dad)
This game is just the best open world RPG there is, if you take your time and actually RP......as you are demonstrating.
I really like the use of the survivor's holotape to tell your narrative (I may well steal that idea for a future Sole Survivor play-through!)
Thank You.
