Hello,
I’ve been lurking here for a while (heh heh) and have been (quietly) working on a remake of my Arduboy FX text-based adventure game Shadows and Eternity.
I’ve decided to finally post what I have so far. Constructive criticism or advice is welcome! My goal is to make this in such a way that it can run on a little console.
Thanks for taking a look.

Cool story so far but I get an error when pressing A at the “It doesn’t budge. Did you hear it click though?” screen
Hello,
I’m still working on adding all the text. I’m trying to squash bugs/issues before I add ALL the text.
It would be awful if there was a big issue and I missed it before I added everything. 
I absolutely love this story! my favorite part is when that purple guy destroyed those robot things! very original!
Wait, this sounds familiar
Har har har har har har har har har har
I swear there are no possessed robots. Or children.
I think I’ve fixed the main issues. Lots of rewrites/moving things. I’m going to start adding the text (which I am condensing. It won’t be as long or as many words as the original). I’m going to keep checking and make sure I’m not introducing new bugs.
Wish me luck!
I didn’t get to any robots. I got to the door, and then there were no more choices. What did I miss?
So, the original game only had one, bittersweet ending. I’m thinking about finagling a second, more “happy” ending. Should I?
I’m still adding text. My alpha was a failure… 
However, I think I fixed most of the bugs. I’m going to keep adding text and test it along the way.
I’ll announce beta (on this topic) and see if I can change the title as well when I’ve finished adding all the text and can’t find any other bugs.
Hopefully that’ll be soon!
Okay, so I’ve made a LOT of changes of the past several days. My brain is so tired.
Anyways, I think this is ready for beta… really just checking if there are issues I missed. I will also be testing this to try and see if I made any mistakes. This should have all the story text.
If you see ways I can optimize my code, please let me know! I’m still learning, that’s for sure.
I hope ya’ll enjoy the story. 
So, uh, it wasn’t really ready for beta…
I guess that means I’m still a dingbat…
Anyways, I seem to have fixed most of the bugs. I’m working on optimizing the code. This included simplifying the fancy-text extension. Here’s the link to my version.
You can find the current version of Shadows and Eternity at the top of this thread.
Ooh more plot!
I’m just playing through the game for the first time and I have to say the writing is immaculate! The splash screen at the start is also great
I’m feeling inspired to draw a robot dog lol
Thank you! I wouldn’t be half as good as I am now if I hadn’t taken so many writing classes. And read tons of well-written books…
…and practiced writing, of course. I don’t even want to think of how many hours I’ve spent writing, trying to get better. It takes time, but I think it’s worth it! 
hey man, nice game and welcome to the comunity.
Thank you so much! It’s been fun lurking, that’s for sure. 
multipule endings are better but harder to code i say you do what you want
