Ashenmaw - Dragons of Marrowoods (WIP) (Dragon Fantasy) (Partial Update 04/24 48k/17k)

Now that I think about it it is best to make the names have an in-universe meaning rather than an irl meaning

Minor status update:

Green and Blue path done, as soon as gray is done as well things will go into pre-testing.

Also Rhidi is shaping up to be the embodiment of ‘He’s just standing there… MENACINGLY’ (they’re mostly harmless, though)

See you soon.

This update includes the various initial paths for the flights (and thus the introduction of the ROs) and a bit of exploring the Vermillion Court with Vaelias in the end.

It’s so far incomplete, but as of now the length is at

45k total with code / 15k per playthrough.

Enjoy, and please do comment. Thank you :dragon:

Soon you’ll be able to start the main game once the different flights are sorted. I’m ready to try the different flights that were not fully ready before

That’s amazing :smiley: thank you :dragon: edit: alerhon looks so damn good in this ;_;

Yep indeed. If I had to pick a favorite it would have to be the grey flight. They seemed more laid back and casual plus both parents are there. Even Alerhon had a good time there despite being poisoned once by accident in the past. The Black is alright but it’s sad and depressing thanks to the past conflict.

TWICE by accident. :wink:

Should that not be Alerhon? Instead of you?

Thank you :smiley: fixed version has been uploaded.

Right everyone.

to make the file size reasonable I am thinking ending the chapter once you descend into the Court’s underbelly. Which would mean adding one more choice to the current chapter, and then have exploring the court be its own chapter.

Instead of adding in exploring the underbelly and everything to chapter one.

Sound good?

Sure go for it. I’m already poking fun at our tour guide.

Sounds better to me than keeping it all together. I think the exploration should have it’s own space, particularly as you will have a different guide through it than Alerhon.

And alright, while I’m writing, I’d like to know the general opinion on the intro chapter and the characters?

Too early to say for all of them. The only characters we’ve spent a substantial amount of time with are Alerhon and our whelp. The little we know isn’t enough to really even start building a picture.

Current writing status:

Ch1 done, ch2 is about 4k longhand, Vaelias is now officially the ‘three bundles of frayed nerves in a trenchcoat’ RO, with so many choices in ch2 being either showing sympathy for him or being an ass towards him (with in-betweens of course)

Stay tuned for the update :dragon:

A minor update, finishing Ch1 and adding the first 1500 words of code of ch2. This brings us up to abut 48k wordcount, and about 17k per playthrough.

Mainly cause I’m in a writing slump right now and want to share this at least.

This update also fixes some bugs, and the stats for the ROs should now become visible once you’ve met them.

Enjoy, and leave feedback (not for typos unless they are massive, thank you) :dragon:
