From Ashes We Rise [FAWR / WIP] Upd. 30. Oct

Merc for hire is cooler, but in my opinion Deadpool is better than Deathstroke. Only because Deadpool is insane and immature.

I prefer freelancer. Just appeals to me more then being a merc. More personal freedom.

… Yep… The Crow is Batman, Lucian is CLEARLY going to be Alfred and considering the thoughts I had with being a vigilante that turned well villain… I’M GOING TO END UP AS JASON TODD well minus the uh thing that happened to him…

Edit:
Okaymaybe not Batman so… Sort of like Niteowl?

Gosh, I am sorry for the seemingly inactivity of me recently (Really, I Do D:)
Aaanyway. I can say with confidence that the project is going forward, and there should be soon a new update.
As long as school does not have other plans…

Anyway, now lets return to some posts :smiley:

@DisturbedOne
It might be just be, because I am not familiar with every comic, but I have no Idea who/what Niteowl is °^^
Will need to search later ~
You will notice more differences very soon :smiley: (I hope .__.)

@Arcane_warrior
Soooo sorry for the delay D:
And to everyone else as well. I hope to get the update out soon!

To the general question of how the relationships between the RO’s are going to go.
Most people said that they would like to have them open for everyone (means that you can decide if you want to be with person XY despite the fact that you are perhaps… straight. It’s your decision anyway.)
With that, the ā€˜choose your orientation’ part does fall away, because there is just no need for it anymore.

Look up watchmen.

And don’t feel too bad, most WIPs have those times in which authors are too occupied with RL.

Ooooo that nite owl I forgot who nite owl was and I had watch watchman too

I never even knew there was a Character called Niteowl >.<
At first I thought it was this little Chibi Batman I saw a few times in the comics somewhere, but then again he was called something with Owl…

Though I must say, I had not heard of a movie or game before o.o Only noticed it when I searched for it.
Might give it a try someday though.

Ooooon the other hand.
Guys, there is an update.
I hope everything works out, and there is finally the save system back in the game.
For your all around choices for testing, then you do not need to replay everything over and over again :smiley:
It is a bit shortened from what I already wrote, but most of it is there anyway. :3
I hope you will enjoy it!

As always, mistakes or other thoughts/improvements are always welcome!

To me niteowl look like he’s a batman fan

That was great.

Crow: No killing!

Phoenix: Yeah yeah sure, no killing.

kills the first person she comes across.


[spoiler]So wraith manipulates shadows, making them dense and thin too, I shouldn’t be surprised by that. I guess the mind control part right. What I didn’t expect was Wraith being a woman. Bravo for surprising me :laughing: so Vicky Winters was the person in charge of bring people to life. Not to mention the mystery cells, maybe they only accept in powered people?

Also that fight with Crow when you let out a hint of who you are was so damn satisfying. This is exactly what I wanted out of him, baiting him into getting angry and lashing out. Mentally and emotionally breaking him :imp:

Specter made a great entrance, I even let him help me up. (For my kind of role playing in this, that’s a pretty big deal.) The mute thing he’s got going has got me intrigued, I’ll look into his profile later on.

YAY. ALIASES. Now I can befriend Troy, learn his secrets and destroy him. DESTROY HIM. MUHAHAHAHAHA.

Anyway onto a theory. The way MC thought why Crow has still got a sidekick at his age, he hasn’t got over our supposed death. He’s hanging onto the last piece of us, which is Blackbird. I almost feel sorry for Troy. Almost.[/spoiler]

i certainly whould have liked a option to reveal my indentity and say to crow in a cold voice: Dont Know? You have betrayed me ā€œCrowā€ when she tell my mc: you dont know anything! xD

Haven’t found anything too drastic with the update, I really like it actually! :slightly_smiling:
As for any mistakes, all I could find were a couple of grammatical errors but they were mostly minor things.

[spoiler]


You mention Wraith being a ā€œheā€ after using, she/her.

ā€œCollegeā€ is meant to be colleague.

I also saw something near the end where you misused the word ā€œwantedā€, when it only needs to be wants. (It became lost to me while trying to take a screenshot, but I believe it is somewhere before or after we are given the option of improving our stuff at our designated residence.)

Again, nothing absolutely major but I just mentioned stuff I thought would help, I guess? The demo is still going good for me, I really enjoy playing it. Keep up the good work and I hope everything is going well @Nekumura. :slight_smile: [/spoiler]

My original plan was to get close to both Crow and Troy and mentally scar them for the hell of it but now that I’m befriending Troy I don’t think I have the heart to do it. Ah shucks why did I have to have a heart?
Eh I still got Crow :smiling_imp:

Also, some awesome music I would suggest you listen to. (I am currently listening to one of these songs, and it reminds me quite a bit of the MC) XD

ā€œStill Aliveā€ - Mirror’s Edge OST (Absolutely beautiful, with a club - techno beat to it. Reminds me of the MC all the time now.)

ā€œIn This House - In a Heartbeatā€ - 28 Weeks Later Soundtrack (Great for intense fighting scenes, even without any words)

That’s good," Troy says, a slight smile forming on his lips. Natalie turns away, a ā€˜tze’ sound coming from her. It seems like the man has enough for the night of you as she seems to leave.

Here’s another part where the woman crow is called a man

ā€˜Angry at your parents for not caring about you, and sad that it seems that only the man in front of you cares for your well being.’

ā€˜In the left upper corner you see a simple silhouetted feather. That is a sign crow uses to mark his things. How did Stray manage to get at this information?’

I chose for crow to be a woman but said she was a man

I would like to know why my character didn’t get paid. He doesn’t work for free.

I just played the updated game and I’m already hoping for new updates :>

I’m already shipping Troy with my MC and I wonder how that’s going to turn out HAHA (hopefully not in heartbreak)

So general comments:

The overall pacing is okay, but clean up editing is definitely needed (like I remember the amount of ā€œdo notā€ – or similar words – and it reads as really formal, which is a little at odds with the tone of the game, so contractions would really help just to make it flow more smoothly).

You don’t have to remove all of the ā€œdo notsā€ but replace some for the tonal quality but everything else is fine. You’re doing a really good job all things considered (like as you said English is not your first language). So I’m really excited for where this will go :>
