I think their should be a secret button at your grave when you die where you get into a secret final scene. Note: Since your dead, all your stats are where you started as a baby
Hell
Scenario: Well, you ended up in hell. But you see a ladder possibly leading to heaven.
Option 1: Climb it (if strengh > 50 sucsess)
Option 2: Don't cilmb it (Stay in hell)
Option 3: Pray to God you go to heaven (if all stats over 75 sucsess)
Hmmm this gives me an idea.
Might not be too late to add it in but perhaps a good/bad/karma bar. People eat up that karma shit. But the heaven/hell bit sounds good. But it might have to be a general view on the afterlife that has nothing to do with religion.
age 10 plus

In my earlier comment, the friend thing, I did not mean that you should show each friend in the background, but more a representation of how popular you are, no friends you are alone with nobody behind you, a small number of friends, you have one standing behind you. With a medium number you have 2-3 people standing in the background. large amount a small group, not many, just outlines of several people. finally, like the people you were saying that would have so many friends, would have a bunch of people standing behind you, 10 or so. and they would just be simple outlines wtih no or just little detail.
Oh no I did understand you.
I meant the variable, the number in the stats. Anyway the background thing would take far too long to put every individual friend and possibly put a wee bit of strain on the player's computer if I did it that way.
Just what you said in your earlier comment. Nothing for no friends, shadows for few friends and a group of people for lots of friends.
Hi!
I just love Memoir, and im waiting for the Memoir 2 :3
Can i suggest something?
Make the character pixeled,and when you chose more streng, the character becomes more muscular,etc
Good luck with the project
Bye!
That's the plan. More muscular with more strength. Much fatter with a poor athletic stat.
When you're putting this much work into it, I would really consider getting someone else to do the art for you. No offence, but they're clearly the most lacking department.
Yeah it is pretty bad. The characters that aren't randomly generated from the stats look better but only just (updated image above with set characters.).
I may need an animator to do this. But for the time being I'll have to make do.
In a response to SoleSoldier's awesome-right infringement I have declared a spam invasion on him.
Errrr don't do that.
Why not? ....I hate it when people take credit for my favorite artist's work, I have the resources to bring the thunder...
All that's going to happen is either me or darkkenia (because I'm not sure how) is going to report it to the admins.
In Kongregate's FAQ they delete anything that wasn't submitted by the original creator or someone who knows the original creator.
From what I've seen Kongregate's community likes the game and I might submit it there so someone else doesn't do it again.
If SoleSoldier asked to put it on there there would be no problem. The fact he's trying to pass it off as his own work is just plain mean.
Quick edit. Also it's possible he's getting revenue for the game too using kongregate's ad service. But it's likely he isn't.
Actually I checked, and I believe he has received several tips. Also, I do believe I reported it correctly, so that might be taken care of already. And putting it up on Kongregate would be an awesome idea, just remember which site is your main squeeze.
I might put it up during this weekend. I'll put a little notice on my main blog so the kongregate crew can see it isn't stolen again.
Edit: No I did it just now see top of blog.
Do you have an expected deadline for the game to be completed?
Nope. Making in my own time. Which is why I could never work for a proper programming firm. I took a programming course in college and there were deadlines everywhere. I passed but only just.
Then again C++ is harder than actionscript.
Also flag solesoldier.
okey dokey
apparently "ok" is too short for this response box.
[Update} On Mr. SoleSoldier: Memoir has been deleted from Kongregate and SoleSoldier was banned for a week because of it, our campaign was successful and the war is won. Hurrah.
I noticed this.
I would hardly call it a campaign. But thanks to those who flagged it.
the bell rings and all the students exit the room but your new teacher miss richards tells you to stay. once everyones gone she shuts the door and pulls down the blinds she asks you if you want to do it.
"SURE!" +2 charm -5 intelligance.
it goes smoothly till the headmaster walks in and calls the cops
"run out screaming" -5 charm +1 intelligance
lets just say things get akward in that class for the rest of the year
"run out and tell the cops" +8 intelligance -1 charm
shes arrested but you get alot of pats on the back by your parents
Dude...
Miss Richards is the teacher you get when you're 5-10 years old.
You get professor badass when you reach university.
Time for updates please sir?
I have been sick the past week or two.
All I have done during is a little rollover button that tells you what something does.
that's all.
this is gonna take a while if you do all the scenes we posted on the comments
but at least we got put on the credits
So far all I've done is roughly 30 scenes. That's just the school scenes...between ages 5-10 (note: I have done barely work on this game the last two weeks after being really ill). I do need all the scenes I can get. Considering the game's expected length I need a lot without repeating scenes.
For some scenes like the cinema I can make an array where it makes up a movie name which is pretty easy to do.
p.s the character should change the avatar avvording to age then its changes in a certain age we welcome you for support
The character creation was a bitch to make on it's own and it still doesn't look right.
I'll keep this in mind though. I have a few ideas how I could do this.
joke scene(nah dont put in in the game,but you can if you like):
you were watching indiana jones:raiders of a lost ark when suddenly when he was about to get hit by a boulder a boulder smash out of the screen
option 1:duck
option 2:run for it(automatically die because you got crushed)
option 3:sleep(+10 health) if sucess it was just a dream, if failed what a nightmare you just had
this is just a joke suggestion i dont mind if you put it on the game or not
OK I won't :)
Your blog is not going to help you enough.
Being one of the most famous posters on the fourms, you should post somthing in the flash forums, that will be much better than having just 5 people helping you.
Also, if this DOES work, can I get the ultimite credit :D?
me famous rofl.
Seeing as you've helped me the most you'll get credit. I'm thinking of making you a cheat name.
Me, a CHEAT CODE? OH W0WZERZ :3
Speaking of cheats codes, I came up with some (I remember its gonna be like NG Sim)
Money Makzer (Effect: 1'000'000$ at the beginning)
Malignant Neoplasm (Effect: Start game with cancer)
Tranz Parent (Effect: Have no avatar)
Livinginthe Sunlight (Effect: Always have 100 happiness)
Kenny McCormick (Effect: Never get a job)
I hope you can use some of these.
Is that sarcasm I detect?
Yeah those cheat codes sound good. Arnold Schwarzenegger is going to be a cheat code for max strength instead of the name for most str.
cheat codes? how bout this:
the perfect guys:all 100 in all stats
buff me up:100 in ath and str
hello ladies:cha int
dont like my life:1 in health
im not dead:never die/age
hope this is enough(again)
The cheat codes are going to work like a first and last name. See Killerrob's comment above.

Your character's arms look a little long. Might need to fix that a little... also.... i was thinking if you have time or something you could incorporate more stats into the character image like this:
Low Athletics: a Morbidly Obese character, probably around <25.
Medium Athletics: Average size. Around 25-65
High Athletics: Skinny. >65
Low Strength: Arms have small amount of skin sagging down. <25 (From this point on just use the same averages I have on the Athletics)
Medium: Average sized arms, not to big not to small.
High strength: Large muscular arms.
Few Friends: No change to what you already have. (Not sure what you would consider low for friends.)
Average friends: Several shadows behind character.
Many Friends: Large number of people behind characer (Around 4-5?)
So on and so forth for the stats.

Way ahead of you when it comes to the athletics and strength. That particular screenshot doesn't show much but you do get fat and you can get muscular arms when you've got a certain number in your stats.
The friends thing however. This sounds fantastic. There is a slight problem with the friends so far. It could get to the point where you have more friends than a minor celeb on facebook.
And yes the arms look long like a chimp.
