False Ancestry (WIP) [100K Words | Prologue Act 2] (Bug fix + character povs added)

It’s one thread per project, so if you’re planning to make an update to “Timeline 2: False Ancestry” next month, you’ll want to keep it to this thread. If you’re making a completely new game later, you can make a new WIP thread for that.

There goes my flawless plan to reband the wip, alr thank you.

Question can you double post in the interest thread or no? I rewrote my summary and the RO stuff.

Sure, posting in the Interest Check thread is fine. (In general “rebranding” is more confusing than anything else - people will find it easier to understand a game having a big update, rather than seeing a new thread and going “is this the same thing as the other one?” Hence keeping one thread per project.)

I will update everything here to match this, but the update will still be on the 1st.

I love the story and the pacing is way better and the story has more depth than it originally did.

Besides grammatical errors, the weird wording in some of the sentences and the misplacing of names (in MCs psychology class it said MC was staring at Charlotte but it was supposed to be Maria. That’s just one example this happens a few times in game) the IF is very interesting and I really love the characters and dynamics.

The new prologue isn’t out yet, or did I squeeze up and post it.

No worries, they will no longer be any Portuguese speakers in the next version.

Also for the Charlotte stuff, it’s because Maria is getting replaced by her and that kinda shows in that old version.

Maybe it’s because I haven’t played in awhile it seems a bit more detailed but this IF has so much potential I can’t wait for more :+1:t3:

Potential? Potential man? Potential if. Maybe I should slander my own wip.

But I also think it has potential to be great if I write everything correctly and explore the themes properly.

The new story has a few extra sauce in it, we will see if people like it.

It’s unfortunate but Maria is no longer in the story, partially because she didn’t fit the new vision of the story, partially because I needed the Ro space for another Male RO and lastly because I had no reliable translators anymore.

Sorry to be constantly bothering you Harris, but I can’t rename my demo on cog demos, can I make a new well page and withdraw the old one?

I am aware that cogdemos is a separate site from the forums, but I want to make sure that it doesn’t break the forum rules.

Sure, go for it!

Three more days, beta testing is done for everything but the female stuff. My female beta testers are busy with life and so uh, if somethings are weird when it drops then just let me know.

Uh one more yap because I like yapping.

They will be special symbols on certain choices, and since it will be immersion breaking to put the explanation in the game, I will explain them here and I think on the title page but who knows.

First one is the ✧ symbol, which is placed on choices that put you on a side story that isn’t needed for the main story.

Secondly is the :growing_heart:symbol, which puts you on the romance route of that character, it may lock you out of other romance routes but some characters are unique.

And the demo is live everyone, I want to die because I had to fix something and it kept breaking. There will be a couple hot patches with some additional content.

Hello Again, Time for some hot takes, polls, and suggestions.

First of all, for everyone who waited for the rewrite and the update and I am thankful, I didn’t expect to just disappear and die along the way, but love happens.

You will see the big changes and the small ones as you play the update, can’t wait to see what everyone thinks. Now on to the important stuff.

Edit: Forgot to mention that I am opening a patreon, it’s probably because I like money but it’s most for getting art and stuff.

Vote with your heart.

Now for the last part, well. Do you think I should had diversified the cliques that the ROs are apart of? because like, three are into sports, two are cheerleaders, one is a nerd, and the last one is kinda a bum that won’t be mentioned.

Would you guys like geesers, student council members, actual nerds?

  • I like them as they are.
  • A little diversity never hurt anybody.
  • Why is the PC black?
  • I don’t care eitherway.

Now for the reason that the PC is black, is because I wanted to experiment a little bit with it, but if everyone wants freedom in skin tone, then I will change it to be selectable.
