A fight for the very survival of the universe.
The Warhammer is strong in this one, I really liked it, and overhall I’d say it is very promising, and I’m looking towards the updates, good luck and the emperor protects
startup line 231: Expected option starting with # i got this when i selected (i pull myself from his grip throwing several quick jabs at him) also got this startup line 111: Expected option starting with # when (i attempt to duck to dodge his fist) and got this startup line 219: Non-existent command ‘scene_break’ when (im going to try to trip her up before finishing her off quickly)
Could you please add a summary? It helps us to understand what type of genres the story contains and what to expect. I will definitely give the story a try soon. Good luck with the updates.
I think it has potential to be a very good story. I can’t help but ask if romance will take part in the game? If it did I would be interested in knowing what can we expect
Definately, Romance will be part of the game, I’m unsure how as i’ve kept that as a background thing for now, yet definitely in the later chapters there’ll be two or three scenes for it with referances later in game. Beware however as book one is still EARLY into the story, so beware, some characters may not survive or retain their loyalty up to book 3.
Book 2 is definitely one for romance.
Currently… Eh’ Planned for Prisoner side:
Male:
A gruff, ‘disgraced’ Charter knight.
A young whelp with a hidden background.
Female:
Another Prisoner with a grudge against the Empire
Another Prisoner who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
For the Military side:
Male:
One Charter Knight Captain
One Squad member ( who may die before you even get a chance. )
Female:
One female Charter Knight Champion
One squad member ( who may die before you even get a chance. )
I found the story very interesting, with a good hook from the beginning and very active. Not in all the stories you have the pleasure of starting a brawl from the first pages… and against the marines!
Fun story behind this;
I had originally intended to write 6 books, 2 sagas, However;
Much better if I put both the sagas into one book, That one choice there is basically:
Menu:
What would you like to play:
Empire of Man: Rebellion.
Empire of Man: Dawn of War.
I don’t like arrogant people, and the situation is even worse because I’m chilling at the bar and suddenly two soldiers appear giving orders and being agressive. Someone has to go down. Being honest, I probably wouldn’t do this in real life. But now you have given me opportunity
I guess you’ll be glad to know you have a more ‘passive’ player who took a look at your demo.
That is the main reason I wouldn’t pick ‘get mad and punch a b!’ the first time it appears, but then this also somewhat ties into my perplexed confusion as to why an untrained civilian is being handed a rifle (and what I’m assuming is some sort of augmentation chip) as though they’ll be a crack shot just because they were suddenly conscripted.
To be clear; I see how things went to heck. And even understand that unless these ‘space marines’ break through…something…the evacuation they ordered can’t continue. But conscription or not, I’m not really understanding why they’re handing a weapon to a possible enemy who did have any number of chances to act up before then, as well as any time after who could still become another problem they had to deal with. I just find it a little boggling that they were that ready to trust an unknown (who could be absolutely terrible at wielding any kind of weapon) so quickly.
All that said, I don’t believe you need to change much of anything. Maybe just clarify a few points from a narrative perspective since one side of the conflict seems to be like riding a conveyor belt with not much consideration to the possible background thoughts of a reader who doesn’t know much about the subject matter. I was able to pay attention, and follow the story so far because it is an interesting read with a good hook, but it did pull me out of things a bit… If these doubts I’m having are intended to be dealt with in the next chapter, then they might clear up very easily.
Here we have a few little things that might (or may not) need cleaning up later
Was this meant to be just Astra, or Astra 1? This error is minor, and not too problematic aside from a brief confusing moment where I asked myself ‘three days to get to itself, from itself?’
This last one is a little special. Was it your intention that picking this option (highlighted in this image) causes the main character’s Agility stat to effectively crap itself on the stat screen as a result? I don’t know what happens next in the story, so this could be entirely intentional for all I know.

I’ve been staring at this post of mine for the better part of an hour+ dissatisfied with how I’m putting things… It’s difficult to be constructive in a positive way when you’re like me, and don’t know much about the topic.
