Ace of Spades WIP (25/Jan - Demo 2.0 is up! Time to crime!)

@LastLau Thanks for the typos! I’m going to work on these fixes on the weekend and upload a small patch so these get cleared up :grin:

@violet ooo I’m so glad you liked Lucas! L is very interesting to write, I can’t wait to show more of them hehe. They’re all shady and have all done things they shouldn’t be proud of (but honestly, mostly they are kjhdfkhskf), but it’s all for a reason.

Nothing in AoS is random, I can assure you of that :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

And thanks for the typos, I’ll be sure to go over those. Coding is… tricky. :sob:

As for the newspaper hedline, I didn’t mean to add a name! I actually just copied the original headline from 1964 (I found it here, if anyone’s interested: Star of India Gem Stolen From Museum Here - The New York Times ; the headline only mentions the Star of India, but a whole collection of gems was stolen on that heist btw)

Question, how much time do you usually spend on answering asks on tumblr? Cuz I don’t know where it is faster to get a response from you, here or on tumblr :thinking:

I’d say it’s faster here hahahah I’ve been getting a lot of asks on tumblr and I was away for the past week or so, but I’m going to be catching up there later today as well!

Just played the demo update and loved it! I liked finally seeing the criminals together, and getting more backstory for the MC. Here’s my totally crackpot theory as to who betrayed MC: I don’t know if it’s been confirmed by the author if the betrayal comes from the same person/people no matter the route, but it’d be a cool twist if the betrayal is coded to come from those you are closest with (either romantically or BFF-wise). That’d be an absolute nightmare to code, and this has like 0.0001% chance to be the case, but that’d be interesting fall-out. Other than that hehehe, I don’t have any solid suspicions yet. I think I’ll have to see more from the characters before I can make an accusation. For now, I’m suspicious of everyone.

Anyway, I like the group dynamic and I can’t wait to see their reactions to MC being a C.I.

I may be the odd one out in this, but… What if no one on team con betrayed the MC? That’d be a hot pile of drama all on its own, but I have to account for that possibility given the amount of unknowns there are at this time. The lack of motive is the single biggest weight behind my lack of overt suspicion toward the con gang. I need an actual whiff of smoke before I shout “Fire!” is all. :thinking:

Well my poor mc does suspect both the person he’s closest to, his old pal Alex and/or the insanely hot rich guy he just met, aka M. :sweat_smile:

Only in self-defence. But my mc would prefer if it didn’t have to come to that. If it is M though a couple of solid spankings may be more in order. :grin:

to be honest I’m really looking forward to the interactions with Jessica kim the Agent. I don’t know but that character just has something the potential to have a Sly Cooper Carmalita Fox esque relationship.

So far my favorite characters are: The Middle Man/Woman, the Agent and the Thief.

BUt really all the characters have insteressting depths to them and I’m looking forward to exploring them some more (Get your mind out of the gutter).

Oh this is definitely something I’m interested in. Hooked so far, I love heists.

I laughed when Rachel pulls out her phone and we think she’s gonna hack the keypad and she ends up making a call instead LOL

Can’t wait for the rest!

This is so, so, so good. Sometimes in games I make one type of MC and don’t feel the need to try others. Not this game. I want to try all the jobs and have very different personalities and goals. I went directly for the love triangle, though. I have a feeling Josh could be my favorite LI, but it’s too soon to tell. My first MC is a forger who wants to leave her criminal life behind, and I’m sure Josh would be glad to help, but she ALSO has a massive crush on Alex, so… trouble! I need more!
One of my favorite things is the way you reflect our choices and stats in the text. It feels like what we choose actually matters and makes our MCs more tangible. Keep it up <3
