no apology nece$$ary.

Yeah I think the idea was to have it start in this room and you slowly find out it's a shipping container which would result in you getting recaptured, waking up in a different place. I was almost 10 years younger when I had the idea though so who knows :)

Ah this was escape room thing? :O Well sad to hear it got discontinued, idea sounded fun

Thats fine, thanks anyway

Sorry, I abandoned this project ages ago. I'll update it to represent that next time I'm able to get on. I wish I had the fortitude to keep working on it, but I simply do not at this time in my life.

I'm having an issue, maybe im doing something wrong, maybe im not smart enough, I don't know, but everytime I open this game I do the sequence, go to sleep, wake up in a one square room, click the transition click a new character to import, then it just brings me to new scene with no load up, can someone help please? this is highly irritiating

I LOVE unexplained room imprisonment puzzle stories. This is a superb start, and you simply must finish this for all of us. I agree with about all of the previously mentioned support.

The editor is frustrating at times, and the struggle with learning its facets has been tedious for me. I would like to compare notes some time. Specifically, you have a "director's note" option that I don't understand in the drain conversation. What is giving you a problem with linking options?

As for walls not lining up, there seem to be certain props that work better with each other than others. There are "corners" and "wall connectors" that are sometimes helpful. As it is without walls, it's very surreal and dreamlike. I wouldn't suggest changing anything about your walls as they are (or aren't, if you will).

Another option is stacking walls in the same space, to get the desired effect. This technique seems not recommended by HBS, but I can't imagine what problems it might cause.

Good start. Where's the finish? :)

Great start, I am looking forward to what this goes on. The "sir" thing has a point, but the urinal is filled over with something awful brown, so there is the explanation for "no normal toilet" *hrhr*

Anyway, continue please, I hope this will become a real decent story. The fine polishing when the basic frame is finished can be done anytime, the most important for me is in first place the storyline.

Great little room - I loved how there was so much to explore in that tiny space. Really evoked a sense of mystery and danger. Can't wait to find out what you do with this.

Oh man, that IS an issue with the speech. I must have put the sir in before I learned about contextual text. Sorry about that. As for the urinal: There's a text that eludes to it being broken (the sludge water when flushed) but I'll put a text in when I kick this cold that clarifies with 'The sludge begins to pool up at the bottom of the urinal.' to fully clarify that.

Differentiating male/female is one of the bigger pains I notice with modding this or any game, so I appreciate the feedback.

Just started, so if there is a good reason for this that will be revealed later, cool: I've got a female shadowrunner waking up in a room with a men's room-style urinal but no toilet. I suppose that this would be a problem for male shadowrunners also though.
She is also called "sir" by someone who mysteriously communicates with her, which, based on the conversation options, she apparently feels no need to correct.

I withdrew my recent comment about the title because it was pointless meddling, and not constructive at all. Disregard.

Nice story, but the game kinda bugs to a halt at the end.

very cool story! i´m really excited for the next episode! keep it up, chummer!

Thanks for this, I hope you add more in the future - would like to see where this ends.

I think you did one of the best run actually available. I hope you'll make more chapters/levels!

Viscomte Herpderp d'Avrigny: First off, your name is cumbersome to write and I resent you for making me write it. Secondly, your post was very interesting to me, as while I was making it, I obviously didn't play it the way you did. It's really interesting to hear how you played it, as to me it was, put in conversation, test conversation, put in goals, test goals, put in item, test item and so forth. However, the fact YOU played it that way thrills me as that means, at least you, played it as an actual story, and were engrossed in that story.

The Wooden Man: Definitely need help with proof reading. Spelling has never been my strongest of categories, even if I can string a setence together alright. Friend me.

the.vagrant.werewolf: Right now, I'm not done with the room yet. The street idea is great, and I think that's pretty much what I'm doing with what will be chapter 2. I'm trying quite hard not to be overly ambitious, as I've done that with writing before and I simply get overwhelmed and quit halfway through. I'm working on the thing when I feel I have something worth writing or an idea worth implementing, rather than pushing to put out something for the sake of pushing out something. Thank you again for your kind words. Really, they're appreciated.

Oh man, I go to sleep and wake up and suddenly you all appear. Thanks so much for all the compliments, it truly means a ton to me.

johnny.killstring: Thanks a ton. That claustrophobic paranoia is something that I'm attempting to keep while slightly expanding the room. I tried using the original room and it simply got clogged to hell. Couldn't even walk around, haha. That's actually a good suggestion with the sleeping. The sleep option originally was there to simply move on before I learned to use goals, so that could certainly work. I'll try to put that in with the next release.

As far as establishing a tone, you're doing a phenomenal job. Lovecraftian weirdness, combined with a claustrophobic paranoia; honestly, it reminded me of Silent Hill: The Room.

I'll note that I mean this as praise - psychological horror is difficult, and that game, along with this module, rank among the few times I've reliably gotten that feeling from a video game.

A suggestion: maybe don't make sleeping available until the room's been explored? Let me explore before I get the option to move on, rather than telling me to.

Please, feel encouraged to continue.

Can not wait to see where you take this good work so far.

I agree with what's been said. Ludovin, you're one of the most promising content creators thus far, this is why I offer you the following bit of advice from someone who's done this sort of thing in the past: Don't be too ambitious. Build up with a number of episodes, each which explore different aspects of Shadowrun, allowing every kind of character to have their power hour.

This way, you can build up things and eventually tie them together into a bigger content pack, adding overall content as you finish it. And you can continue that way, evolving until you're ready for more ambitious stuff. So, maybe next time, start with a street, but nothing too big. But yeah, I've seen many fall prey to their own ambitions, and thus their projects have fallen apart. So... be wary of ambition, and take it slow! It'll pay dividends.

Having had time to sit with it, I'd like to offer some feedback that might be useful to you:
Having all the multiple options on several of the interactible points in the room caused me to partially explore one; then back out and partially explore another - until eventually (I believe) I had fully explored the room. I bounced around the room plumbing a little deeper each time, as I gathered more clues. This was very fun, as I was reluctant to plunge dangerously far down any one avenue, without gathering potentially applicable data from the other clues.
This was particularly noticeable in the difference between passive information gathering, and taking more direct action. I would listen and look, trying to keep myself relatively safe, before trying anything which might compromise my activities or safety.
It was a very fun tension to play against, so good job, well done.

Of all the UGC currently posted, this is by far the most intriguing. The imagery is great. I like that there is a wealth of things to inspect and that there's an air of genuine mystery. I'm looking forward to more.

Awesome stuff, keep working on it Ludovin! :D

Do you want any help with the spelling/grammar typos? (proof reading)

It's a good start, and I'm keen to see what it grows into. I spent around 10 minutes exploring the room, if that helps.

That was ridiculously kind. Thank you, it's really great to hear positive feedback.

Best UGC so far, in my opinion, and it's barely even anything yet. I found more engagement and atmosphere in that first room than in any of the big ambitious campaigns so far. This was lovely and I gleefully await the rest.
This is exactly the kind of stuff I was looking forward to in UGC.

Well, glad you're liking it so far. I'm making a 'Progression in photos' thread currently so I can share what I'm doing visually currently, without too much spoilage ;) Hope to see you around once I flesh it out some more.

Oh I did. The voices in the drain followed by the - you know what - I won't spoil it, was a very nice creep factor.

Oh no problem, sorry I took it that way as well. Yeah someone was mentioning there seems to be problems with unsubbing at the moment. More troubling, there seems to be problems with updating files once they get a certain size. Gives us a timeout. Some odd issues going around, but it's still early into release. Hope you enjoyed the little bit I've made so far.

Oh I wasn't blaming you, xD Sorry if it came off that way.

That's a Shadowrun problem, not a problem with my mod. When you subscribe to something, it tends to get stuck there.

I unsubscribed, no offense, Plan on getting it again once it's finish. My problem is.. It wont go away in my stories. Even searched in my steam/coomon folder to remove it after unsubbing and it's still there. Anyone have a clue how to get rid of it?

It does! Every little bit helps with the spelling.

This is a nice start! It took me about 15 minutes I think..

I found two typos.. There was one in the opening screen (I couldn't take a screenshot, so I can't remember which word), and one when you look under the urinal. I hope that helps!

Thanks Mariposita! I'm working on the placement of items currently and then I'll begin making basic inspection items. From there, conversations, then the triggers. After that it just needs a one over and .2 will be ready. The second scene should be about twice as long as the first scene, so I expect to be done with it by Friday at this rate at the latest.

Took me about 15 minutes to complete; Look forward to future updates :)

For sure! I keep putting a thanks in but everytime I republish it gets taken out. Thanks a ton for the logo, bud.

WOOT! I got someone using a one of my custom logos. Sweeet!

Actually have an update ready now I realized. Just need to figure out how to get it working. Erg.

1,000 subs, holy hell. I should be getting a polishing patch out based on your reccomendations within the hour. You're all freaking me out.

I havent played it yet but im looking foreward to. but thanks a million for sharing your story with us! :D

Yeah that damnedable splash screen, haha. I thought I fixed it before, but when the first upload failed I suppose it reverted back. Ah well, will fix that now that I'm awake. Thanks Alerquiin.

And thanks for all the comments, I appreciate it.

there are a few typing errors. one in the first loading screen and the second when hearing the music/voice..

I love modders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I´m goingo to play it. Thanks for doing this!

Keep it up mate!
