Outsider!

Snobbie:

Sorry no one has replied to your questions. Outsider! was first put on this site many years ago and so we all played it long ago. Personally, I don't remember the dream, let alone a demon...

As for the stats, if there was a way to increase them I don't recall, but you can always restart the game until you have stats of your liking.

The Dead World

William: Thanks

A little more detail:

SPOILER

END SPOILER

This episode very much works as part of the series where you play through with the same character. For those who don't know how to do this, start with Wrong Way Go Back. Once you reach the successful end there will be a link that says 'Continue' instead of 'THE END'. Click this and you will begin Planet of the Spiders with the same character. During that adventure it is possible to gain a bonus to the stat of your choice if you can remember something from the first episode. At the end you can click 'Continue' again to go on to The Golden Crate. In this episode you can gain another bonus to the stat of your choice if you remember something from Episode 2, and can also buy training in weapons which give you Attack Strength bonuses in combat. Reaching the succesful end of The Golden Crate lets you 'Continue' into The Hypertrout. During that little adventure you can receive a boost to your STAMINA, and gain some lasersword training. Surviving will let you continue on to the next episode, but there is one ending where you gain a useful item. Onto Episode 5, if you managed to get the stamina bonus in the previous episode, then Contractual Obligation has a secret area you can access to gain a bonus to the stat of your choice. Reaching the successful end will finally let you 'Continue' into The Dead World with the aforementioned stuff in the spoiler box. At the end of this episode, it just says 'THE END' When you reach that page, save it as a Bookmark or in Favourites. Then later when Epiosde 7 is released. Go back to the saved page and you will find a 'Continue' link. As you can see, there are numerous opportunities to gain stat bonues and weapon bonuses if you play the series as a series. Otherwise, the bonuses gained in The Dead World are largely useless as there are no great challenges in Episode 6. But for epiosdes 7 and 8...you'd better be ready... (In other words: Mwahahaha)

"the key thing is not reaching the end, but what you gain on the way..."

A truth for all game books and novels methinks - but mere brilliance to write with that as a driving concept!

The Dead World

Binki and Jordan:

That's it. There's only one successful ending. So congrats.

Maybe I should also point out that there are 125 different ways to reach that ending, and so the key thing is not reaching the end, but what you gain on the way...

The Dead World

That's the ending I got, as well. I doubt it counts as the successful ending though, only because it was easily attained. Ulysses prefers near impossible endings. *Smile.* Great game as always, Ulysses. I lookk forward to exploring further.

The Dead World

It was supposed to be an uneventful trip back to Amorphonon 12, but of course something had to go wrong. Your ship has crashed on an arid world, amidst the remains of a once-great civilisation. What happened to them? Not that it really matters. The rescue ship will be here in 3 days, so there is no need to explore the ruins. I mean, something might happen to you...

The sixth episode in Ulysses Ai's series is now ready for online play.

Waiting For The Light

Jasper - It isn't based on Erikson's work, though it is based on the work of a different psychologist (the quiz section has a clue to which one) so you're not putting too much thought into it.

Waiting For The Light

Hey, I was wondering if the book "Waiting for the Light" was based on Erikson's stages of psychological development. I'm probably seeing things but it seems like the decisions you have to make are each mimicing a stage of Erikson's theory and the outcome is a hypothetical representation of a person based on the side of Erikson's stage you land on. I just want to know in case I'm putting way too much thought into it...or if it's supposed to be obvious and I'm asking stupid questions. Also, I don't think that I spoiled anything with my question.

General Chat

So are you guys on the Facebook group for FF books? I think I'm a member, it's been ages though.

KAMIKAZE Wed May 26 00:11:17 2010 General Chat	Hi... When we die, can you make it so we can start back up maybe 10 pages before? Or where ever we messed up? Also why is it that none of the protagonists seem to be able to fight hand to hand?
	You can use bookmarks/favourites to effectively 'save' your place in a game. As for the lack of hand to hand fighting, it's just the way Fighting Fantasy generally is. There are a few examples of unarmed combat, though these are normally the result of losing or failing to find a weapon.

The Dead World

Goldfish 9and anybody else who is interested):

Episode 6 of the Wrong Way Go Back saga has been submitted to this site. The webmaster is very busy at the moment and will adapt it for online play when he has time.

Episode 7 is perhaps 50% complete, but is a relatively long episode, expected to come in at between 300 and 400 references.

Episode 8 has been conceptualised and the introductory references written.

Episode 9 (Honeymoon on Titan) has likewise been conceptualised with a lot of the setup written.

My other gamebook projects are on hold while I work on conventional projects that I would ultimately like to see published. I will continue the other gamebooks after I finish the WWGB saga.
