Hi there I still exist despite evidence to the contrary. Some people know me as Apollo if you’re active on tumblr but you might also recognise me from another wip on here by the name of Regrets of the Traitor. That is still on-going and in fact there will be an update later this week. I digress, however.
Due to a need for something other than that project, I’ll be cycling between the two simply because I don’t work well just focusing on one project at a time. Now, onto the story.
You’re a mercenary with a bounty on your head and many secrets to hide, but in a world at war that’s nothing special. The current job should be easy enough; meet your contact, deliver the package, profit, but little do you know that you’re about to meet an old friend. And be pulled back into a past you thought you’d long since forgotten.
It’s a vague synopsis but it’ll do for now until I come up with something better. The genre of the game is fantasy though it’s less of a world-saving game rather than a more personal tale of found family and running from responsibility.
Features
- Play as one of four non-human races.
- Choose between at least four different classes (still seeing how viable it would be to give more options)
- Choose an alias to go by, each with their own skills and personal history.
- Uncover the secrets of your past or reject them at your own peril.
ROs
Unlike in my other game, all love interests are bi or pansexual, and most have genders that fluctuate depending on player choice. Some are as follows;
Sly: Male, 42, pansexual, werewolf. A hunter who works out of the perilous Whisperwoods. He’s stoic and quite dangerou-looking, at least that’s how he comes across, but those that know him simply know that he’s just a man who likes the peace of the forest rather than the thrill of the hunt.
Azelia: Female, 26, bisexual. One of the bounty hunters who have been on your trail for weeks. She is dangerously overprotective of her brother but otherwise has a calm head on her shoulders.
Lonan: Male, 26, bisexual. The other bounty hunter after you, Lonan is the brother of Azelia. Unlike his sister, he is a young man who hides behind a mask of perpetual anger.
Shank: male/female/nb, 38, pansexual, naga. A pirate captain who is firm with their crew but fair, killing only when necessary and good at making calculated decisions. What is most remembered by their crew, however, is the big toothy grin they always seem to have.
Jean: male/female/nb, 24, human? The middle child of a minor lord, they are naive to the world and can be quite clumsy. Somehow, they are smitten with the mc.
There’s more but this’ll do for now.
There is already a working demo: https://dashingdon.com/go/4540
Update Log
16/09/19
Very small update today, mostly so I don’t need to worry about fixing or adding anything until later on. What I added and fixed is:
- Finished up the descriptions in the alias selection
- Added coding and a description to the final choice available in the demo
- Some misc additions and fixes that don’t particularly have much bearing on the game as a whole.
What's next?
In the next update, I will be changing a few things. Hopefully.
- Probably the stats screen but that isn’t a priority
- Fixing some discrepancies in the the script.
- fixing typos and grammar errors.
- continuing the chapter.
