    1. A random sci-fi question for you

      You've just been convicted by the UN security council for being a Tildes user, and have been sentenced to 7 years in a penal colony, but you get a choice. Do you choose either: 1: Mars - 7 years...

      You've just been convicted by the UN security council for being a Tildes user, and have been sentenced to 7 years in a penal colony, but you get a choice. Do you choose either:

      1: Mars - 7 years without ever being able to go outside without a suit on, but afterwards you could travel back to Earth, if you desired.

      2: New Mongolia: An Earth-like planet, almost as if Earth was new again. But it's a one way trip.

    2. Can you recommend some visual aids for 'The City and the Stars' by Arthur C. Clarke?

      I'm having a lot of trouble creating an image of the city in my head and would like some help! Any kind of image or graph is appreciated. Maps, artist renditions. Anything. Both for the city as a...

      I'm having a lot of trouble creating an image of the city in my head and would like some help!

      Any kind of image or graph is appreciated. Maps, artist renditions. Anything. Both for the city as a whole and the different locations within the city that Clarke describes.

      But it must be accurate, or at least an attempt to be accurate (which is why I can't just use Google for this, since I lack the ability to distinguish between freestyle art and accurate ones).

      Thanks!

      I have a bare bones prototype of a game made in twine and I will be honest it needs a lot of work.

      The story and main architecture of the game is already planned and I am happy with it. It is the story hooks and pathing that I am looking to improve and for that I would like to give out a early Alpha build for volunteers to critique and provide any dead ends, errors and story beats they find engaging.

      Please feel free to send a message if you would like to participate. Thank you for your time.

      Edit: Thank you for your interest in the game the final build should be ready for volunteers in one week. I will send links to you directly at that time. Thank you again for your interest this is much better than I hoped for.
