Thank you for the response! After reading through the feedback, I did have an idea for a more ambiguous cover. Will draft it sometime, but right now I need to focus on writing!
Hello Everyone,
I am here to give a progress update for Before the Incident, I have finished one of the branches after the duel against . Now I’m currently working on the alternate branch after the fight. The character branch split will have Syo in one path and Tenth in the other path. Also, I had an idea for an April 1st Twist for the story which I decided to flesh out a bit more for the update, this is where if the MC dies at the end of the prologue and you play as the other character with the MC. That’s all I wanted to drop. Update should be around during the beginning of May!
Add /mygame after the url
Games on cogdemos got a new url and the old ones don’t work anymore
A crash out path you say-
I’m interested.
@Tylerif @Watermelon1 Thank you for bringing attention to this, I fixed the link so it should be good to go! Shoot, makes me wonder how long this has been a problem
I just wanted to hop in and say that this has easily become one of my favorite demos on this website - the characterization, the deep rooted anguish, the fight scenes and good lord the flashbacks; fantastically written, and I keep coming back for more.
So far, my favorites are Syo (why does he get so little love from the fanbase, from what I’ve seen?,) Apollo (love the unspoken route for him,) Abel (little shit…,) and Ib (guiltily.) Wanderer is my go-to power every time, it’s just so cool to see used.
Keep up the great work, and I look forward to seeing how the story progresses.
@Kaf_Kaffiend Thank you for the kind words, that means a lot I am quite surprised that a good chunk of people like Ib’s character haha
A good antagonist is one you love to hate (or just really strongly dislike), so in terms of Ib’s characterization, you’ve done really well.
The praise for how you build up fully fledged, nuanced people is a bit understated here in the thread, but every time it is remarked on, it is more than deserved. I’m also a Syo enjoyer, so I agree that his lack of positive attention is a bit strange.
I appreciate the compliment, I try my best to make every character have depth, so I’m happy whenever it gets acknowledged I’ve been told a good amount of times that my story is underrated, which makes me wonder if I’m not advertising it well enough or if my audience is niche. Either way, I’m grateful that people chose to read my story and enjoyed it
