180 Files: The Aegis Project (spy/thriller) (new short demo 24 Feb)

Blasted! And here I was looking forward to help them see the error of their ways :smile:

But in all seriousness, learning about all the possible outcomes is getting me even more excited for your game. I usually don’t like to play evil characters in games but for the chance to rule DIABLO… I might make an exception (as long as Angel is right there beside me, of course).

I was thinking more MC working for the leader as an agent rather than being in charge, but, hmmm :thinking:

To get the Angel romance as endgame I think you’re either going to have to go DIABLO or you both make a break and go freelance (that’s going to be harder as you’ll have to convince Angel it’s worthwhile)

Well, if I’m going all out baddie I want to dethrone that DIABLO leader in the most brutal way possible - as revenge for my dear Nick :broken_heart:.

But serving as an agent could be fun too. I guess it depends on what kind of MC I’m playing as. I can’t see my highly manipulative, suave agent taking the reigns of DIABLO but I can certainly see my straightforward, ruthless MC doing so.

How about a coup de tat against the leader? Or maybe, dissolving DIABLO and make a new one with its operatives

Sorry if this has been asked before, but how many years will the series span?

This led to a question and then it kind of snowballed from there so here goes:

  1. In what ways would that be hard? They seem to be self-assured and playful enough. An organisation as large as DIABLO would likely be traceable - money laundering, hotspots, signatures in their bioweapons (especially if it’s new, cutting edge stuff) - and even if the organisation does provide resources, as a “top operative” Angel would probably realise that if there are others who’ve contributed to your success, those same assets could very well be used against you.
  2. Being a global organisation with a potentially proportionately large footprint, how has DIABLO managed to reach the point they are at? Do they have political leverage? Was its establishment founded on circumstances that made success more favourable in the future? (e.g. capitalising on political instability, market explosion, financial downturn, etc.)
  3. How widespread are its activities? Is the MC’s desk (assuming they have a permanent home somewhere) made of wood sourced from areas whose unsustainable logging continues because representatives from concerned environmental organisations happen to be mysteriously (cough) disappearing? Could some mild histology professor in Auckland be unwittingly moonlighting for DIABLO? As in, is it always straight up fancy high-level, or do they have thinner but more pervasive roots elsewhere that allow them to refine their technique and support these fancy high-level projects?
  4. Still on the global theme, does the IIA liaise with governments and supranational entities?

Kind of… you’ll find out later that there are currently lieutenants in DIABLO jostling to replace the leader. Currently the idea is that you’ll be able to support one of them (or play them against each other)

Book one only takes about a week. Book 2 will start a month or two later and take a few weeks. Book 3 … not sure yet. But overall, maybe about a year. A very busy year.

Ooh, lots of good questions!

In Angel’s current position, they get paid really well, they get some of the most exciting jobs, and they’re in a good position with their boss. MC needs to make an offer that matches or surpasses that.

Re: DIABLO - they try not to do much directly, like the members aren’t smuggling and laundering and whatever themselves. They primarily provide intelligence, counterintelligence and networking for lower-level criminal organisations. So if you head up a smuggling ring, DIABLO might make you an offer like, we can keep you aware of law enforcement moves against you; we can provide connections to other groups that could help you, and all you need to do is kick some of your profits upstairs. Or, we can have you removed and replaced with someone more amenable.

They definitely have feelers in political circles. They’ve got a lot of dirt on a lot of people.

Well they do now! :grinning: Can I use that?

Yes. I’m not completely sure on how it would all work. There’s probably a lot of arguments about jurisdiction. But the IIA was formed to have a united non-political force for counter-terrorism efforts and crime-fighting.

Don’t get me wrong - that means still doing criminal stuff, but for people other than DIABLO.

This keeps on loading upon infinite.


Ok, I’ve tweaked the files for the demo and it should end properly now instead of running out of files. :slight_smile: You might need to refresh the page though.

Pardon my intrusiveness, but does anyone else have difficulty with the text input system?

For when you’re talking to Hercules? You have to type exactly ‘diabetes’ or ‘Diabetes’.
