Morning, folks!

Just wanted to share what I've been up to lately. I just finished my first demo with a dialogue engine I put together inspired by Professor Layton / Phoenix Wright games.  I guess I haven't seen many visual novel type games (outside of the realm of the anime/fan/hentai fare) and wanted to make something that made its creation simpler.

Not quite sure if I actually accomplished that as the spreadsheet I use to keep the game organized gets pretty messy as more branches get created... 

In any case! Here is a very simple demo I made (two rooms, two endings, about 1 minute of your time) that showcases the features of the engine:
- Left and right profile images
- Dialogue
- Choices to make within Dialogue
- Room traveling
- Flag setting
- EXAMINE mode (like in Phoenix Wright)
- Multiple Endings

I do plan on releasing it when I'm comfortable with it. It's still got many pieces hardcoded into the .FLA.  Anyhow, any feedback or requests would be great.  Thanks!

Getting the bad ending was easy enough, but is it even possible to get the "good" one? I got you to break your own neck but the game continued on as normal.

This should be moved to the feedback forums.

Crap, you're absolutely right. Can one of the delicious mods move it for me? Thanks.

I'm pretty sure you already thought of this yourself but I guess an inventory would be nice.

Ya, that was actually my next step.  Figured out a decent way to hopefully get it to show, but we'll see.  I mean simple array pushing and splicing is my plan of attack.
