I didn't vote because... I don't know what "with suggestions" means...? kind of embarrassing...
I joined after JW: can I get a quick description of twhat it tis? preez?
All "with suggestions" means is if you think I should do minor photoshop work on it, and what your suggestions would be with that.
Jenallia's Wrath was my first project I tried to do during my senior year of high school when I was working with RPG Maker VX. I began working on it when a bunch of RPG Maker games were coming out that were more or less "talk to person, sex scene initiated," and I wanted to try my hand at an "erotic novel" style game. It lacked sexy H-pictures, but it was supposed to make up for it with saucy text-based depictions, and that it could stand on its own without the sex scenes as a good game.
Unfortunately I had my hopes waaaay too high of what I was capable of at the time. I ended up dropping the project on its head multiple times with an overly complex relationship and purity/corruption system I hadn't kept notes of for tracking, far too many unneeded bits and pieces, and an overabundance of sex scenes from peer pressure (and possibly that I was horny as f*** at the times I was working on it, heh). That combined with losing all my progress twice, lack of personal bugtesting before handing it over to bugtesters, deadlines I set and claimed but couldn't meet... Well you get the gist. It basically became too much of a hassle that didn't feel anything like when I started work on it, so after almost half a year of procrastination with occasional bursts of work, and feeling too much pressure from myself to work on it despite Uni work, I ended up saying "screw it" and dropped the thing completely.
tl;dr- pretty much a failed attempt at a sex game that had a lot of potential but waaaaay too many issues.
Corrupted Honor is more or less the prodigy child of Jenallia's Wrath that has taken everything that went wrong, and is using that knowledge to prevent it from happening again. The story is smaller, the systems are simple (and trackable), and it's going to be more of a freeform game in comparison. I'm working on it in my free time when I feel up to it without much pressure, and the results so far have been to my liking. That being said, I'm refusing to create an actual page in non-flash games until I actually have a working "demo" (act 1 scene 1 through act 1 scene 5), and that likely isn't going to be for a good long while so for all intents and purposes this is an "idea" thread of sorts even though work has been made.
It also just happens to be the same world that The Wastelands are in, taking place a little over 100 years in the future.

That seems to be the general consensus. I liked all of 'em, so I figured I'd put it up to the polls to see what people liked the best!
