Ashenmaw - Dragons of Marrowoods (WIP) (Dragon Fantasy) (Partial Update 12/08)

This update was great! I had a lot of fun with it and am excited for more to come with the other flights!

Thank you.

And on a small note:
On the blog Iā€™ve gotten feedback that the game feels to lack choices and is a bit info dump-y.

If you play as a red dragon thatā€™s on purpose. Not letting the whelp have much agency but instead keep talking over them and prioritizing other things is meant to feel suffocating, I hope this comes across better once I got the other paths in ^^;

Tbh, I have seen longer stuff per page. On my phone nothing exceeds over 3 scrollings, (if you know what I mean with that)

But then again I never saw it that way, so maybe I have lost what to much is. As I do Like getting to learn more about a world. And world building in general. And for me at least it felt natural the way they told us about the world. As it makes sense we donā€™t know much as an just freshly Hatched dragoon.

And with how our ā€œparentsā€ treat us. (Alerhon best grumpy dad.) Itā€™s really concise the feeling of they just dumbing all that on you.

Canā€™t wait for the other paths to be updated, curious about the other ones tbh

:smiley:
The asker felt thereā€™s too little for the players to do (lack of choices), though as said, thatā€™s on purpose.
Kassias would probably scold the whelp for interrupting the tale, and I think it would also take away from the punch of it all being on purpose to force Alerhon to tell what happened to Ferhon and Salbri.

Weā€™ll see what it feels like when other paths are available (you will always get that history lesson from Astia, regardless of flight)

On a different note for those that missed it:
I posted some heroforge mock-ups of Alerhon, Astia and Kassiasā€™ mortal guises in the first post.

Writing a bit of noodle incident in the green path when you encounter a dryad at the Grove.

And Iā€™m trying to decide whether or not her Queen is the Queen of Elms or the Queen of Swallows. The latter would open a quite distinct reason why Alerhonā€™s in trouble with said Queen, though am I that immature?

Make it a choice? Then those of us that are definitely that immature can have the joke and those that like to pretend weā€™re not can save it for a playthrough we donā€™t tell anyone about.

Canā€™t really make it a choice, as the noodle incident is that said Queen still holds a grudge with Alerhon over something heā€™s done thousands of years back.

I think Iā€™ll go with the immature bit first, and wait for feedback :3
