Unforeseen consequences CYOA v0.45

Hey everyone!

I will save the "it's been quite a while" and get right to it.

First, a few words to the game that is in development.

A good portion of my time in the past weeks was still spent on the game concept I have, although after countless hours and hundreds of retries to structure it dynamically, I have to admit that I might have bitten of more than I can chew.
I begin to realize now why games like Fallout only have 7 main stats and why story driven games often only offer the illusion of choice.
With 10 main stats as well as a bunch of hidden ones it became really difficult to balance out everything and make choices that mattered in all different directions.
So I won't give a very detailed update on where it stands exactly, but what I have is fairly well structured and reusable, which is why I might aim to cut it down to some essential stats right now and do something else with it (which can be expanded on) for starters.

Regarding the title of this post.

As you may have noticed, the focus of this post is not the coming game though.
It is about Unforeseen consequences.
With Halloween approaching, I couldn't just ignore that the setting of this story was Halloween based.
Therefore I felt it mandatory to expand on the CYOA and add some content.
Again... like above, I went helplessly overboard (in one direction) and didn't manage to finish the whole arc I was going for.
Initially I wanted to create this whole side story and have all paths for it done for Halloween, as it turns out even the single straight forward part I made makes up for about 30% of the total content now.
So... yeah... content is roughly +30% (in addition to some more cleanup and smoothness) but I once again got sidetracked and lost in a massive endeavor.

If there is something to take from this then it is definitely my time management, for example, if I don't have video material I find adequate for a scene, I will literally search hours for it.

So I gotta do something about that I guess...

Anyway.
Please find here the release for Unforeseen consequences CYOA v0.45.
I will continue with the missing parts for this main path in the coming weeks and release again as soon as possible.

I will also update on what I will do with the game stuff once I figure it out.

Hope you have a nice Halloween and as always stay safe!
