ADRIFT Forum

I have an outline, but write the actual text when I get to it. For me it works much more smoothly. There are a few things I don't want to forget, like puzzle ideas and certain dialogue from characters, and I keep them on a notepad file just so I don't forget or neglect them

Your advice resolved the issue easily. I never got to thank you. Life happened. But it worked and I appreciate it. Thanks.

was without a computer for a while but still working on my big adventure. just to let you know.

I don't think box.com has the feature you seek. Sorry for the delayed reply.

I use box.com, having had problems with dropbox myself. I like them.

I'd like to try both games, #1 because I like science fiction, and #2 because I like entire games that take place in a building. Especially Hotels (like Leisure Suit Larry 6)
