Yeah, @AdamGoodtime that is exactly the reason I selected the title in the first place “Hero College” could be some fancy smancy place like I imagine Prestige or Savior to be. I hoped inserting the “community college” part would signify possible c list heroes and perhaps some whackyness.
That being said, I agree with @JimD about maximizing searchability. He knows his stuff.
Ahh the dilemma…shall I sacrifice a little of my creative vision for potentially higher visibility?
To add another layer of complexity, I am considering making this a series. So this may mean even longer titles including something like “first year” or “first semester” or maybe catchier subtitles like Heroes Rise uses. But “Community College Hero: First Semester” may run afoul of character limitations on some platforms.
I like the name Community College Hero, but I understand your dilemma. Adding additional sub-titles for future instalments could make it a bit unwieldy…I’m not sure, to be honest. I know that’s not really helpful, haha.
How brutal. Can you be. Like how anti hero can you go? I mean I assume you won’t give us a situation where we can go punisher, more like symbiot Spider-Man with how brutal
He or we can be. Also what are some ideas for a sequal are you thinking about?
Still working on improvements for chapters 1-5. Lots of work and family commitments are limiting my writing time. I wish I could hide in a bunker for two weeks and just get it done.
@cyanide, thanks for letting me know. I think I am just keeping the long name as you suggest.
@StarWarsMaster, I appreciate your encouragement. Hopefully you will like the more detailed socializing scenes. I think they are fun!
@Lubu343, there may be a couple of scenes where you have to decide how brutal to be. The Origami slingshot scene is the first of those. Keep in mind the potential for lawsuits if you use excessive force against a villain, even crazy terrorists like Contrarian.
Oh as a general aside, my avatar is a simplified image of Origami.
@undead, indeed you’ll have the opportunity to romance certain characters, 3 guys and 3 girls (and they all will respond as bi, meaning that you won’t be turned down because of your gender).
However, your sexual preference can limit your options. For example, if your MC only likes girls, then you’ll only get those romantic options.
@Undead, Nah that’s not a spoiler. Crook, Stunner, Mob, Tress, Dirty Girl and Uni are all options. You can also befriend Wombat and Origami although Stoic is a much tougher nut to crack.
A few of them have undergone slight personality and/or appearance changes in the rewrite but if you liked them before you should still like them.
@StarWarsMaster, it’s not ready yet but I am trying my best to reach the halfway point. I’ll post the update when I reach that oh so elusive benchmark.
Well trollhunter I’m guessing , and this is just speculation, you can’t date anyone. However I don’t think that effects friendship though. if it does than, INSERT FOREVER ALONE MEME HERE.
@anyhelpbob Didn’t stop me from having dinner with Uni. On a side note how did I fail the distance attack on Uni in Deadfall’s exam? I’m a bloody sniper I hit Origami no problem (would of aimed for her head but still dropped her in the end). Looking forward to the next update keep up the excellent writing Horn.
@trollhunterthethird, @anyhelpbob is correct. You’ll be able to skip all romantic entanglements. I figure that if a reader truly wants to avoid dating, then why should he/she have to have to even read the romantic options that he/she is determined not to pick anyway? I’m just coding it so that those options aren’t visible in the first place. By the way, @anyhelpbob, way to go out on a limb with your speculation! :-?
@cyanide, oh yes you will be able to do so. I admit that I’ve enjoyed writing the expanded “rave” scene and Dirty Girl interactions.
@Johndn90, yeah I had not really thought the romance options through when I started writing. I’ve added lots of variables to separate out platonic outings versus more romantic ones.
Also, I think I just fixed the error when attacking Uni on the exam. I just had one extra letter on my variable that should have directed you to having a successful slingshot attack. Sorry about that! I try to be thorough but I miss stuff.
I hope the new action scenes I’m writing are a slight improvement. I’ve added options for winning some of the rounds in Downfall’s exam, and there is one entirely new (short) action scene.
I am more comfortable writing dialogue and general interactions (like the classroom scenes) so I continue to focus on improving action scenes.
