Today's topic: We must look beyond

(These are the mosaicked ending images)

I'm WTFMAN, a developer making anachronistic games.

Time To Live was originally conceived as a 'Twisted Princess Maker', so I tried a lot of different directions and eventually decided that what was lacking in a Princess Maker was an 'after ending'. Time To Live will include more than 20 different endings. But what do you do after you've seen the ending? What do you do then? Isn't there anything you can do? I thought about that, and I thought about what's beyond the Sim game, and... I decided the answer was "Multiplayer." Have you ever heard of a multiplaying Sim game? Of course you haven't.



Once you've seen the ending, you're in a new game after the ending... I mean, Fight!
Let's take her, and fight another player's version of her! It's like Pokem... anyway... Isn't it exciting to think about? Overcoming all odds with her and becoming... what is it... a She-Master? That's a little weird, anyway!



You will need the following for multiplayer

1. Two computers with RS-232-compliant serial ports
2. An RS-232-compliant cable for direct connection.

Then play as follows

1. Connect the serial ports together with a direct cable, then turn on the game.
2. Enter the Ending Gallery.
3. Select one of her endings that you have seen.
4. Launch multiplayer and send a signal to your opponent.
5. If your opponent accepts, you can play against them using the selected her.

This multiplayer can only be played with a serial port connection.



Q: My computer doesn't have a serial port.
A: Newer computers may not have one.

Q: So I can't play multiplayer?
A: Yes. Give up.

Q: I plugged in a serial port, but it doesn't recognize it.
A: Multiplayer game code is made for DOS, so it only works in a DOS.

Q: Those computers don't have the recommended specs, doesn't that mean I can't play?
A: Yes. Give up.

Q: What day is it today?
A: Today is April 1st.

Thank you.
