There was SUICIDAL/VIOLENT chapter (named 'Pic. of deportation') added to Space Spy 1.0.3 (In the last 3rd of the reel)

Please read the overviews-solutions for the game (Especially Chapter 3) taped by the small letters down on the

www.quitesoulless.com/spacespy.htm

To unlock the 3rd chapter use code 8DRHQ8 (skip the INTRO by pressing right upper button, if you want)

Total fun, lines like 'Doctors, don't take me away, I'm fine', '...step into the heart colored flame' and so on...

It was advised to create something like 'MAKING OF', look at the button on the left upper corner of the screen.

The next Chapter will be called 'The road to the airfield' and will take place in psychward facility.

Thanks,

I've published 'The picture of deportation' here:
www.quitesoulless.com/c3pdep.htm
As you may read before there is also
'The picture of asylum' at
www.quitesoulless.com/c2pasy.htm

I sent to the US president, General Attorney and A.Schwarzenegger, which are usually non responsive this submission notice

www.quitesoulless.com/p33.htm

So... I see, my entertainment almost lost all the popularity (1 star at Youtube - MINIMUM).

I thought storyline which goes now like

'Guy followed up with the actress on the Oscar ceremony day and found himself in the psychward'

will find somebody to check it out (I mean it is a little bit like from
that fairy story teller Hans Christian Andersen, suicidal story about love).
I will talk about it with a couple of retired writers, they live on the same floor with me.

So.., I will work more, thanks,

Vasily,

I don't understand what's going on in this game.  Most of the time when I try to load it, the Unity Player takes a looooong time to load and then crashes.  Once, I got it to load and then it was just... just weird.  I push something around and then I die.  There's no rhyme or reason to anything, and the text bits are hard to read and don't make much sense.  I also really dislike having to enter a random code to visit each level.

I don't think you really learned any lessons from Quite Soulless.  Do you understand why that game was such a financial failure for you?

Try getting someone who has never seen this game to sit down in front of you and play it.  Don't tell them how to play it, just make them start playing.  See if they look like they're understanding what's going on.  See if they're having fun.

Also, get someone who is a native English speaker to go over every piece of text that you're going to put into the game.

Finally, I'm not sure what you're trying to get out of sending this to Obama and Schwarzenegger.  The message that you're trying to get across (which I'm guessing from your posts and the "making of" documents that say that you're schizophrenic has something about you being denied asylum in the United States and your Room mate being mean to you?) is not clear at all.  The game, especially with the name "Space Spy" doesn't seem to cry out "Help me! I need protection from wrongful persecution in my native country!"   However, it does have a little bit of "Hey, the author of this game is schitzophrenic! Wheeee!" except not as fun as that sounds.

For the record, I have been taking schizophrenia treatment for about one year. The "suicidal/violent chapter" header just reminded me of my own new game's first chapter: The puzzle is how to commit suicide of the main character (and I must confess that's the only completed chapter, my progress is like a turtle). I sympathize with you for creating such a violent scene, it was the way I could express myself.

But that's not a proper way to introduce (I dislike the word "advertise") your works. I have made and been making some pretty artworks and tiny games/softwares which are not horror themed or involved with my mental problems. If you want the concern of people, just create something good that would interest them. 

[Akatosh]

Hmm, I dunno. I find the concept of such a... disconnected game pretty neat, on an abstract level. It's been said that a good way to true innovation is to take something seen as integral, such as linear narrative or rational puzzles, take it away, and still try to make a decent game out of it. Of course, I'm only one person, and you may want a bigger target audience than "Akatosh" for your game. 

However, your website suffers of technical problems. I could get it to run, after a long wait, but it's choppy to the point of being unplayable. I couldn't even solve the first... let's call it a "level", because the game ran at about 2-3 fps, making it impossible to accurately move the boxes.

Oh, thank you all, guys!

> I have been taking schizophrenia treatment for about one year.

I see. The issue with me that I claim that I am not a schizophrenic but was subject to such treatment.

> the game ran at about 2-3 fps

I develop it on (and have around) only 1 computer - some Duocored Vista laptop, there are 17 MB in this product (so it seems it needs fast internet connection - like in Starbucks). By the way this reminds me of the main character of NCIS series - this guy who goes everythere with his Starbucks cup. Once I complete the 6 th level I will wrap it and even will try to look for publisher. Before to do so I will perform some optimization. But I want to see the whole VIDEOROW just to be sure that I believe (while nobody else does) that this my project is successful (as an artwork).
