Great update, I’m really excited to see more! I was firmly in the Camille romance camp… until Faith showed up, turns out I’m a sucker for pink haired women… I’m so conflicted now, but I can’t wait to see where everything is headed (and how our new friends meet/interact with our other new friends)!
dropping in here again because i thought of another question i’d like to ask. sorry you have to see my mug again lol
i noticed this update has the option of picking sexuality, do characters ever comment on their sexuality? i see a few instances for gender-specific dialogue so will that be there for romances as well?
idk guys. im suspect of yoon. i vote him to be most likely to betray the MC
no one else is excited for sid? no? just me?
Just when I was thinking about the next update, you post it. Lol but regardless the new characters are pretty interesting so far, especially Yoon. I dunno what is up with that guy yet.
@hachimachi it’s a single book! and yes, I do plan on going through all the beats of a relationship. I don’t want the game to end when you just get together with your RO, that would be sad lol.
also SOOOOO GLAD YOU BROUGHT THAT UP I’m a strong believer in having that be mentioned, having there be actual representation rather than characters being “playersexual”. In this world though, I imagine that most people are pansexual, not really having much of a gender preference. Characters do comment on the gender of your character as you engage in a romance with them. The presents they give you are different, some scenes are gender-specific. Faith is also a little more fond of women than men, and her dialogue reflects that. Sid talks about his ex-boyfriend. I really want to start writing something modern so i can bring up sexuality more, but in this world I wanted it to be very well accepted that you like whoever you like.
also love seeing your new mug around here (is the griffo I see? hachimachi? OG Justin quote? we are bonded now for life…unless none of that was a MBMBAM reference then uh…)
@Morphine :’) I’m not sure if the love triangle stuff will make it into the demo version of the game, but if I ever release this thing, it’ll be in the final version. I’m tinkering with it a lot! I want to capture the unique dynamic between characters. Sid and Mars will “fight” for love differently than Yoon and Mars would, for example.
glad y’all are being suspect here lol
Sid’s line of “everyone has secrets” is my feeble attempt at hinting at the super secret backstories of everyone. The “appearances are not what they seem” line is also more hinting. Every character has their own unique story…so, who knows what’s up with yoon? maybe it’s betrayal. maybe it’s murder. maybe he’s got a secret extra eyeball on his stomach. who knows…who knows…
it is griffin yeah! I like you so much more knowing you’re a mbmbam fan too lol hachi machi
thanks for answering all my questions! I’m glad it’s brought up, i feel like fantasy stories really just gloss over that a lot of the time so i wanted to ask what you were doing with it. but seeing that youre a fan of dragon age too i trust you to do good.
also super glad that this game explores all of the relationship. im a big fan of seeing the domestic life of romance haha
and knowing sid has an ex-boyfriend makes him even more heart eyes in my mind thanks
I also found the mentioning of the fox god suspect. im on to something i feel it
yoon better get his paws away from my spirit son. ill smack him
I am SO HAPPY you’re continuing this story! I love it so so much!! I hope you are also doing well and getting the rest you need!

You smile, more a smirk than anything else, “we have a day of thievery and mischief ahead–of course it’ll be fun.”

“This,” she starts again, “Is a fey-fox.”
No need to capitalize ‘is’ since she’s continuing the sentence
So you decide in your head to stay up and stop her.or watch her try, at least.
There’s a period (.) it should be comma (,)
You try to stay away, but fatigue hits you and you fall asleep

Is that was dead people look like? She looks so broken, so alone, so…dead…

Sid snickers, “guess that’s the sorta thing that happens when a princess tries to pack like an adventurer.”

“Me too, except the different between me and you is that I’ve got four tails already.”

gathering
I really enjoyed reading this! The character interactions are really nice and feels so much genuine. I particularly liked Mars, Camille and Atlas(the spirit) they’re just soo cutely written
This is my favorite scene!
“Don’t be so dramatic,” you chuckle, “you enjoy people sticking their fingers into you.”
Atlas turns a soft pink. He purrs under Adelaide and Sid’s touch.
“I’ll simply pretend you didn’t say that, David.” Camille stops rubbing her temples in favor of holding the bridge of her nose instead.
“I don’t know what you mean,” you blink, “pretend I didn’t say what?”
“Gods,” the raven-haired sorceress sighs, “forget I said anything.”
@hachimachi ur my new best friends k thnx
@Hope_Kibo thank you! <3 I’m glad you like the story :’) I am doing a lot better now
@AmericanShakespeare damn all those errors. I’m really bad with my capitalization. Seems like i need to go google some grammar rules. thank you for spotting all of them! Ive fixed them, and I feel like I should start paying you for your service. and glad you liked the interactions :’) it’s the heart of this story
ah, the finger scene, yes
maybe i misunderstood something, but yoon kidnappes us while we are taking a bath (so i assume we are naked), but when we talk to our uncle we already have our clothes on, this is kinda strange i think
and are we supposed to start with 60% greed?
(sorry about mistakes if there are any, english is not my first language)
That scene was amazing! although my character, maybe because I play a female, actually ask: who doesn’t enjoy fingers in them? Which killed me.
Also I caught a few sentences where it feels as if words were missing. I only remember the one where Sid comments in Mars not having pockets but the sentence makes it seem like he was going to say armor or something. Not sure it could just be me.
Shiiiiiet Yoon is giving Mars a run for his money he’s a little shit but I love him omfg send help ;^;
If I make a move on both of them will they actually fight for my hand? Nothing too messy I hope lol
Also
Summary
“'Cause don’t got any pockets,” Sid gestures back to you. “Can fey-fox do summoning magic? That why you got a follower?”
The ’ at the beginning of the sentence looks like it’s extra have a spacebetween and a missing you after 'cause also can the fey-fox ^^
I may or may not be in love with yoon and if he is a bad guy or somethin’ then i’m joining the dark side xD But honestly, I didn’t get bad guy vibes from him. Just Igotapocketfullofsecrets kinda vibe.
@mahariel Actually it’s because your MC is a never nude. They bathe in their clothes.
To be serious tho thanks for spotting that! I do seem to forget clothes exist. Yoon is supposed to kidnap you /before/ you take a bath, which is the true tragedy. I’ll edit that soon!
And you do start with 60% greed. I’m tinkering with the stats though so don’t take that to heart.
@Zsero there probably are some missing words, I’ll try to see if I spot any when I sit down to edit chapter 2. My brain skips over words a lot :’)
@cookiemonsta they do fight over you to some degree. Though not as dramatic as fighting over your hand in marriage in a sword fight to the death, but more like two people who happen to like the same person.
You is definitely missing from the sentence. But “can fey-fox” is actually an error of me not pluralizing fey-foxes
When the April 3rd edit comes out, I’ll sit down and revise what’s currently out for chapter 2 (that’ll teach me to write on my phone at 3am). The next update SHOULD take you to about half-way through chapter 2, but even if not I’ll just say that it does and go back to edit :’)
On another note out of the male ROs I seems there is (1) Sid lover LOL should I work on making Sid more attractive? His romance is a lot of fun I swear
it’s because the petting but tbh after reading this chapter im thinking of spending more time with Sid (
even though he offer less gold than addie)
Honestly, I love all the male ros and i’m certainly going to play each of their routes a ridiculous amount of times. Sid seems super fun and boy do i love a man with a boat. It’s hard choosing just one of them.
can’t tell if srs bc i haven’t had time to play the new update but just in case…
Yay!!! Your back!!! I love the update, meeting our uncle again was cool. I can only imagine the difficulties that my MC will have about choosing between our kind or the awesome squad. Yoon was interesting, I don’t know I’ll have to see more of him. But no one can replace Mars!!! I really hope the Dad isn’t dead and that we could meet him.
The MC
I just finished the new demo and I think we can all agree that Adelaide is just
i was not being serious about the never nude thing but MAYBE I SHOULD BE. Tobias as the MC. he’s the faceclaim now
@Chriswa27 The choice between fey-kind and humans does pop up a lot lmfao You will be seeing a LOT more of yoon, maybe too much. And who knows about the dad…who knows…
I sketched an older Sid because I don’t think I ever discussed that you age over the course of the game? You and the characters grow together. I also wanted to draw him in a full beard lol
might be spoilers if you're really worried about that? warning for a lil body horror, it's not blood on him but it does look like it
and to give Sid even more love here’s a little spoiler-free light-hearted overview of what his story route is like. if you want to see these for other characters, let me know!
I paired every RO up (one male, one female) to have SIMILAR relationship dynamics. I hope this makes sense, because I don’t want to miscommunicate what I mean. The romances and story paths are in no way the same per RO. It’s just that certain ROs are similar in the way they act, so if you want to romance someone shy–there’s a male and a female RO that have that kind of romance. Sid and Adelaide are the shy romance pair, but they do express it differently.
Summary
- Sid loves dogs
- Best cook out of all the characters (when it comes to diner-type meals, Mars is the best baker)
- His sister is…a wild ride
- Terrible at giving presents, he’s going to give you a lot of “what do you mean you don’t want 23044535 roses?”
- Slow-burn style pacing
- Calls you his heart’s king/queen
- “I’d die for you.” “no…live 4 me”
- he’s very much a family person, loves kids
- you can punch his ex-boyfriend, who I will say is very punchable
- BOATS
- one of those people who just walks around shirtless at all times
- he tall
- id say next to faith, sid’s the most extroverted character? he’s also very active and lively
- generally very affectionate person
- did I mention that he’s tall? he’s the tallest of the ROs
