Characters look really good.
That thing where you tint the sprite with colors works in shadowy environments, but at the start where they're presumably in a well lit building, the orange tint looks bad. Makes characters look too dark.
37:40, 45:07, 46:36 Text gets added, but it disappears between additions. Looks like an error
21:08 aliasing looks bad
I like reading it. I thought I'd quit somewhere in the middle, but I ended up reading the whole thing.
Here's what I remember from the story (may be in wrong order):
- There are carbons and silicons (who are not robots). Carbons built silicons to be slaves, but they rebelled and carbons are losing.
- MC is on some secret mission to do something. He encounters Anastasia by pure chance while looking for uranium in the area. MC starts thinking about the past.
- He remembers his friends, especially Anastasia who was taken away by the state to train her/experiment on her.
- MC and his friends build some secret base, because they plan to run away, while vaguely alluding that he and his friends are neither carbons or silcons.
- Some military ladies talk about creating hi-iq carbons from genes of smartest people (that's our guys).
- The carbon g-man says they'll make peace with silicons by giving mc and his buddies to silicons as part of the deal.
- We get flashback within a flashback to the past when MC was a kid and g-man gave him the disk with stolen tech and info on Napoleon.
- We're switching to seeing life of Napoelon and his 2 daughters who are also science experiments at creating germanium life forms.
- We're back to kid MC who swears to become life long anti-silicon racist. Also tech for creating germanium life forms was on that disk, and his dad uses it to create him and Anastasia (it seems I've gotten something wrong here)
- MC, dad and Anastasia get on the ship with silicon spy. Dad dies while trying to do something with help of Anastasia (not sure what he was trying to do)
- We see Anastasia get taken away by the g-man after the funeral.
- We jump back to the level 1 flash back, of MC explaining to his friends they need to run away because they're [title drop].
- The end of the demo.
