I bumped your DragonAge topic, so people feel free to speak DragonAge stuff over there.
@MaraJade Aww, Mara I love Carver. Heās so pissy and it makes me lol. If he becomes a templar, his character arc is SO good.
And I love being evil, too. Iāve played DA like 15 times, and Iāve only been a good guy in⦠probably only 3 playthroughs, haha. I just prefer being morally gray.
Oh oops.
This game was amazing thank you so much for making this I have been hoping someone would make this and you did so much justice by it. I will be getting all of these great job
Do you have any idea how long each nook should take? Looking forward to it no matter how long it takes
Book not nook
@ret922 Good, cause I have no idea how long it would take to make a nookā¦
It took me a more than a year to write part 1. I think/hope the next parts will go faster, for several reasons, but if Iām honest, my best guess is that each one will probably still take a year. (I have a really demanding day job.) Iāll post updates here to let people know how things are progressing, and I will do everything I can to make them worth waiting for!
If theyāre anything like the first they will be with it
thanks!
Oh and how can I find your new Arcana books?
ok that was weird; my post with the link went up twice. Uh, just disregard this one⦠nothing to see here⦠:-"
Nice. Its unlike other books. Must read one day.
Damn if I didnāt see Marajade and Zev together before now. You have good taste. The Alistair FANGIRLS donāt know what theyāre missing
Iām definitely picking up your book jeantown. I donāt have a kindle, but Iāll get the app or summat. The description sounds awesome. There really arenāt enough fantasy books out there with satirical humour in them. I want to read an epic fantasy story, but even more, I want to laugh while Iām doing so. They sound like a lot of fun! I hope thereās some romance in there too!
Iāve played this game for what had to be the fifth time and Iām still not tired of it. Your writing is great! I love the balance of detail and story! I love how you donāt make Guen completely helpless, and made her able to be a strong yet still feminine character. Iāve seen so many things never able to find that balance. =D Makes me excited to see how she as a cheracter and the rest of them develop in the context of the events of your story.
I love there is a option to play a Guen that is loyal and even love Arthur. Sure he can be a bit of a naive ditz, but itās endearing, let alone how he is genuin sweet and cares. Iāve tried all play throughs so far, and the relationship I"m most excited to see develop is Guen and Arthurās. Guen and Lance come in a close second though. But Arthurās adorkable-ness has grown on me. =D
Iām excited to see what you do with this!
Oh, thanks @Scrivener and @RedReaper! I think you can download a kindle app on just about anything with a screen these days. Iād say NA is probably more ironic than satirical, mostly because the characters themselves are supposed to seem like real people who just happen to live in a world full of weirdly mashed-up rpg tropes. There is some romance ā well, early on itās more unresolved sexual tension than actual romance, but relationships (romantic and otherwise) are a central focus of the whole series. And if I ever manage to finish the whole thing as planned, it should be pretty epic.
And thank you, @AngelOfTheBroken! Iām glad you liked it! Itās important to me to show that a female character can be awesome without having to abandon traditionally feminine qualities⦠I love it when women appropriate traditionally masculine roles and activities, if thatās where they find fulfillment, but I hope I never disparage women who want to wear pretty dresses or be stay-at-home moms ā or wear pretty dresses and be engineers, or wear combat boots and be stay-at-home moms ā the important thing, to me, is having the freedom to choose. So even though itās anachronistic (who cares; this is fantasy), Iām trying to give Guen some of that freedom to choose.
Iām excited about possible progressions of the Guen/Arthur relationship. It should be a little different depending on if sheās truly faithful to him, or gets involved with someone else but still cares about her relationship with him. Iām going to try hard to get all of those nuances in there, so that you can continue to enjoy the replays!
@jeantown I think youāre achieving your goals re the balance between traditional feminine qualities and masculinity. Itās refreshing for an otome style game to have a strong MC (offhand the only other strong female from an otome I can think is from Voltage USAās Speakeasy Tonight, who is quite unapologetic)
So far my favorite pairing is Morgana and Gwen. Sheās not pushy or looking for anything but if Gwen pursues her sheās receptive. The vibe Iām getting from the Lancelot variable is some sort of magical influence. Whether soulmate, Merlin, an outside force or an enemy of Arthur or Gwen, it seems a little unnatural or fishy to me. Just some speculating nothing to see here folks.
