False Ancestry (WIP) [100K Words | Prologue Act 2]

Not to be much of a debbie downer, but besides some school projects and one failed fanfiction idea. This is my first time really writing, and so I just been winging it and slowly improving. So eventually it will get better, or so I hope but I been learning a few more things.

In regards to the lack of choices, that’s fully me on me, and I will have to add more choices and the usage of the personality stats.

I do plan to do something with it and I will add to the description.

I will add some related choices and information on that, but due to certain things that I am building to, pressure off wouldn’t be one of those things.

I was trying to small sprinkles that the PC’s family is mega rich.

These set of events are intentional, I am trying to explore a theme there.

This I can work on.

This is might just be a coding issue, I will check on it later but can you tell me some of the broad areas where it happened.

Depending on which scenes you are talking about, I either wrote it like that intentionally like the knight comments as it’s more unisexual in nature, but I may have just written it wrong in others.

The prince thing was out of the PC’s control, it was a nickname that Jessica gave the player and it stuck as an inside joke. With the new changes that will be implemented, Maleirene will be the prince on female routes.

Pardon me for being a bit forgetful here, but which gift? the one for Irene’s party as a child. I didn’t include it as the PC, themselves didn’t pick the gift but the parents.

I been told and I am working on it.

This is because I have a nasty habit of well rewriting stuff, publicly this is the third version of the story, and behind doors its like the 6th? So instead of delaying stuff and adding/changing heavy chunks of the story, I am going to do it slowly in batches. This way it doesn’t effect the other stuff.

In the confines of this fictional world, Male and Females are seen as equal in certain sports. In American football, for example, though they aren’t as physically strong as some of the guys, they are seen as capable of playing in a unisex and female team capacity.

It is, the best way to put it is that when the story was first being created, there was Irene and there was the player. A lot has changed since then, but not Irene and the player’s relationship.

Because it is, I rather post it, get feedback and slowly improve. (part of the reason I was rewriting so much.) For now, I will write everything and then rewrite it for the final draft.

Now that the update is live, I have a few things to fix but it’s time for the act popularity polls. I might stop doing this in the future if it’s boring and repetitive for you guys. I just like doing them to see who is in the spotlight and who has their fans. (this isn’t an overall popularity poll but just for the update/act itself.)

  • Irene
  • Jamie
  • Rachael
  • Skye

I played the update, wow so the mc family mega rich now? Like RICH RICH? More rich than irene family or are they both equaly rich? And also in the next update will you explain how the MC’s family and Irene became business partners, as well as the background of the MC’s family?

To put it lightly, Irene’s family has been in the town for generations and are the reason it is as big as it is. A big fish in a small pond.

The players family is a whale in the ocean.

Bits and pieces. The next update will be mostly about the player character and explaining some of their more violent tendencies.

so among their friend circle, the MC and Irene are the wealthy ones?

I also noticed that the MC seemed to have violent tendencies since childhood, which is why I’m curious about why they turned out that way

I decided to go ahead with writing and adding the new changes that I discussed above to the wip, instead of writing the new update first. Thank you for your patients with me, and I will be dropping some RO character profiles on my tumblr later.

Poll results

1st. Irene and John (Jamie) with 16 votes
2nd. Ashford with 6 votes
3rd. Rachael with 5 votes
4th. CJ and Skye with 3 votes

That wraps up the polls and surprising, Irene didn’t sweep the polls this time and John tied with them.

As a reward for the two of them winning the poll, I will be adding an extra optional scene that expands on their characters to act 3. (I will even add pinky promises to their flashbacks, I am not sure if to make them choice based or not, let me know your thoughts in the comments.)

That’s all for now. I have decided what things are going to change with the additional features and decided to add some extra content and choices throughout the first 2 acts.

I don’t want to interfere, but wouldn’t it be logical to devote a little more time to the less popular characters? Instead of giving more focus to those who are already popular?

True, CJ has consistently been at the bottom of the polls, I have a couple of scenes lined up for heer already but CJ is a bit harder to write an extra scene for her without putting the MC in an unskippable cutscene.

Skye already has scenes planned, Irene has one scene planned for act 3 besides the extra one and Jamie has a couple already.

Since I am already adding content, I will be adding two new CJ scenes to acts 1 and 2. She will also be receiving an updated description.

Jamie will be intersex instead of being a male/femboy

Now while I have nothing against inclusivity, losing the femboy RO does suck. Almost no IF have such an option (beyond some older IF that died in the water I’ve already forgotten the name of) and I suppose now this one doesn’t either.
Truthfully, that was more or less the only reason I kept an eye on things here so I may drift off, but write the story you want to write and I wish you all the best with this.

Honestly speaking, right, I could just make a new femboy character out of the 2 remaining unseen male ROs, and it wouldn’t affect much besides the fact that the femboy can bitch half the cast because they were made to be strong.

Hotfix 1 was just dropped, It covers most of the changes discussed for act 1.

I am calling a hot fix, as it won’t be the final product but the final product needs more time to cook and I don’t want to delay act 3.

so unless my PC explodes, the hotfix for act 2 will drop soon.

Minor poll, nothing to be seen here.

  • Bring back Maria
  • Let her burn
  • Why are thinking about you bringing back Maria?
  • Who is Maria?
  • Better Question, How is Maria?
0 voters

*meme votes count as yeses for the poll, choose carefully or don’t vote at all.

*Note that Maria will not come back as she was, some key traits such as being Brazilian and being Christian will remain, but the other stuff is subject to change.

*poll ends when I start writing act 3.

For the new readers, Maria was a Brazilian girl who looked up to the PC and had a crush on the male one. She was religious and very shy. that’s the best way to describe her.

You can find some scenes of her in the old demo.

@Haxs @Koschen @Madhur_Dhingra @Ronin_101 @ruthzzan

As for how is Maria? She is pretty sad and depressed that she was abandoned, you can make her feel better by ragebaiting her in the future.

@Hello123 @Nevantyr

As to why I am bringing Maria back? it’s a pretty layered question, but technically it’s a come-to-Jesus moment. At this point, I already got more ROs than I needed, so I can just add one more, bring back Maria and a concept I wanted to do. It’s more work in the long run, but it won’t burn me out. Plus I can have fun with it.
