I am going to upload what is basically the introduction for the big game. I am not sure I will go with this 100% but this is what I was looking at it. It actually has a decent amount of content.
So right from the start there is two major paths, the familiar or apprentice path, with smaller choices like how feminine you are which will make it harder to change back into a guy(if you are a familiar you might not be able to change back at all!).
I think I want to make the game so there are areas you can explore like the Eternal hot springs and you will go through them and stuff will happen and you can learn magic and do tasks and stuff. Since this is the introduction you just go through the one area, but the bigger game you will be more free to go where you want.
There are also some special locations you can find, which you will be able to go back to later. Maybe I will have like free time exploration which you can use to go to minor locations between the major areas. And in those minors ones you can learn spells or get special items, or make friends or romances or who knows what.
Still not entirely sure about the skills and stuff but I will work on that. Anyway give it a try and let me know what you think.
As always, amazing writing and clever concepts. I’m intrigued by the skill and willpower system. Definite could see potential in expanding that and weaving it into the different encounters. Maybe choosing the wrong magic leads to complications/changes.
Definitely want to see where this goes 🙂
I’ll say from a quick try of it, I am interested so far in the different systems at play. The rumors thing seems like a nice bonus, and the stats such as the magics and willpower feel like they can lead to something interesting. I’m interested in seeing how both paths play out. I love the writing thus far, as per usual with things you’ve written. I hope the project goes well, and that you enjoy working on it!
A very hot start, with tantalizing choices to make, and exactly the kind of variated fantasy setting I wanted to see!
I hope you can get demoted to familiar further down the road somehow, unable to turn back~.
I actually was thinking of making it a spell to try and break free from familiar and become an apprentice, so makes sense you could do the opposite as well.
Personally I see becoming one’s familiar be much hotter as a one-way trip, like a permanent punishment, but mmm you can probably make it work better with what you’re thinking.
Especially if you give the player one chance to return from familiar, but only one chance and they have to cast the spell right, and if the spell backfires THEN you’re locked and are given a curse on top of that… Being denied any further chances after that spell attempt. <3
I agree. Still gonna give it the full option treatment to see what’s possible.
btw, have you come up with a name?
I was just calling it Magic and Curses as the file name, but not sure if I will keep that as the final.
I really want to see where this is going. Great work as always Lily!
Hey Lily, have you ever considered adding background music? That might be a little much, but I know it will make it more engaging. Also, Random thought, but would a good name for the game be The Gorgon Spring? I just remember that from the gameplay. Also, even farther off topic, have you been watching any of my videos? I’d really appreciate your feed back. ·_·
I have considered music, though I would need music that fits the game, that isn’t copyrighted or anything.
I can help with that.
