Heir to the Throne (09/23/18)

@fox_vixen Sorry to bother you ( AGAIN) but I have a few questions and since I don’t have a tumblr, I’ll ask them here ( if you don’t mind).

  1. Scenario 1 ~ when the tables turn ( metaphorically not literally) (based on a tumblr post I saw on your blog)
    All hope seems lost , the MC has taken a lot of punches and damage in the brawl ( and AL are having the time of their life ) and it seemed that not only the MC’s faith is sealed, their also going back home with their bruises on their body ( and ego)
    *cue EH bringing the first aid kit, Rowan ( probably) on their knees crying, Maddy giving her final salute, AL smirking like the bastard they are and Arthur probably going to get the other guards / knights *
    when all of the sudden, the MC won???
    So what are the ROs reaction to this twist of events and what will they say to the MC if they have a chance???

  2. Scenario 2 ~ AL, "leave them there " ft. An overly chatty spy mistress, a forest nymph who seemed to wander too far from the forest, an edgy /brooding CC, the knight shaped cinnamon roll, the gay childhood friend, a mage who is DONE WITH ALL THESE GODDAMN RICH PEOPLE TM and the sneaky bastard themselves.
    the MC ( thanks to their unnatural charm) is kidnapped and is whisked away to a foreign land. The Ros + Florence arrived at the island and they decide to gather Intel about the country by talking to the locals. When they tried to talk to the locals they realized that none of them can speak their language nor did the locals understand what they were saying. With time against them and a huge disadvantage , how will they save the MC?

  3. Scenario 3~ :notes::microphone:OH, THE TASTE OF YOUR LIPS I’M ON A RIDE
    The kingdom was on a festive mood and a festival is being thrown in the town square. The Ros and the MC where having a quiet stroll, leisurely walking the town. The MC suddenly stops and guides the ROs to a private place where they lean close and… Delivered a kiss on the ROs lips what are the ROs reactions to this surprising turn of events

  4. Scenario 4~ :notes::microphone:OOPS I DID IT AGAIN I PLAYED WITH YOUR HEART GOT INTO THE GAME OOO BABY BABY
    The ROs were walking around the castle when they hear a soft weep. Curious, they tried to look from where the voice originated. They followed the noise and saw the MC seating in the garden, alone and crying their eyes out. Turns out the MC were lead on by some nasty bastard and got their heart broken .Seeing the MC in this position what will the ROs do to cheer the MC up ? and what will they do to the person who broke the MC’s heart ? ( stares at CC sharpening their knives)

  5. Scenario 5 ~ :notes::microphone: TOO HIGH CAN’T COME DOWN LOSING MY HEAD SPINNING ROUND AND ROUND
    The MC and ROs are alone in a cell when all of the sudden the MC collapsed and landed on the ROs lap. After the ROs inspect further, it turns out the MC has a fever. What would the ROs do in this type of situation??

That’s the questions / scenarios I have for now and sorry to bother you , it’s fine if you don’t want to answer it.

Incredibly creepy - in a good way. I’m loving it so much! A few grammar and spelling mistakes, but overall pretty well written. I can’t wait for more. Finally NPCs that feel real instead of shallow caricatures.

I played the demo and I am very interested in this game, keep up the good work.

@Jess1973, don’t worry! I love answering questions! it means that people are really interested in my work!

Scenario 1:

Summary

AL: They’re a little upset because god dammit they lost their bet. On the other hand, they might burst out laughing. “Now that was a damn good show!”

EH: They might be a little impressed that you managed to win but like hell, they’re gonna admit that. “Honestly I don’t get the appeal of this.” They tsk as they check over your injuries.

Rowan: They’re be fretting over you so much that they forget to scold you for doing this and making them worry so much.

Arthur: He’s already shuffling you out of there. “All right you had your fun. Now lets go

CC: They would grab you by the shoulders and start cursing in Vrurian. They’re cursing at you, they’re at your opponent, and you’re 60% sure that they have some choice words for God too.

Madeline: She’s so proud of you! Even though this is super dangerous and if Lady Alden asks, she had no idea about this. “Good fight out there!” She says and claps your shoulder.

Scenario 2: (god the plot bunnies are multiplying)

Summary

There are two ways that could go. With the group splitting up into pairs:

  • AL and Florence would pair up automatically. They’re both charming and while the natives can’t understand them, they would probably find them trustworthy enough. Plus I feel that if they managed to track the MC to an island then they must have some idea who the kidnappers are. Florence and AL have a good idea on how people think so I can see them setting up some sort of mental trap to catch the kidnappers.

  • Madeline and EH would also naturally pair up. Madeline has some serious tracking skills thanks to her work and would think that the best person to partner up since they have actual magic_ which is always a good thing to have at all times. They’re probably the ones who find the kidnapper’s base/where the MC is being held.

  • Rowan would somehow end up working with Arthur and by working I mean stopping him from scaring any more locals. Unfortunately for Rowan, CC joins up somewhat unwillingly since they and Arthur would probably have similar ideas on where the MC would be. Now Rowan has the extra responsibly of stopping CC from burning this entire godforsaken island to the ground until they find you. The kidnappers would probably go after them first since they the “loudest” group and since this group has Arthur and CC in it… it’s going to be the worst mistake of their life.

The second and most likely way this could go is them splitting up at first and then AL, Madeline, and Rowan would realize that they all need to work together and would try to convince their partners to team up. What comes next is a hilarious misadventure that will go down in Ravoian history. Songs will be made filled with action, funny (and slightly hurtful) bantering, and lots of fireballs being thrown. Mostly directed at AL. Good times all around.

Scenario 3:

Summary
  • AL: You can feel their smirk against your lips and as you pull away, AL stops you as they place one hand on your cheek, deepening the kiss. Afterward, you can’t tell if you actually saw fireworks or if you just imagined them.

  • EH: At first they don’t respond and for one terrible moment you think that you misunderstood how they felt. You quickly pull away but they lean forward to catch your lips again. This time with a smile on their face.

  • Rowan: Their mind goes completely blank as soon as they feel your lips on theirs. Without thinking, their eyes flutter a bit before closing as they start to kiss back. When you pull back they absentmindedly lean in to follow your lips before realizing what they’re doing and pull back with an embarrassed/horrified look on their face.

  • Arthur: (You manage to get his helmet off so that’s a good sign that this is going to go well) The first thing he does is tense up and you worry that you’re gonna scare him off but then those worries disappear as you feel the cool metal of one hand on the back of your head and the other being nervously placed on your waist, as if testing the waters. By the end of it, you end up with a very flustered knight.

  • CC: They gasp as if they can’t believe that this is happening. Their eyes are still open and their intense gaze makes you feel uneasy. For a moment you try to pull back, feeling rejected and a failure but they suddenly pull you in closer. Completely unwilling to let you go.

  • Madeline: She’s the one who pulled back first. A sense of dread settles in the pit of your stomach as she gives you a tight smile and leads you back to the town square. Suddenly you’re surrounded by young, attractive courtiers and other citizens alike, all vying for your attention and with Madeline nowhere in sight. You spend the rest of the night with a bitter taste in your mouth despite all the sweet foods being passed around.

Scenario 4: The answers to this prompt were just way too long so I had to skip it. I’m so sorry! :pensive:

Scenario 5:

Summary
  • AL: They would try their best to remain calm even though on the inside they’re panicking. They have some medical knowledge and would try their best to break the fever. For the first time ever, they wish EH was here. Meanwhile, they would try to convince their captors to get some proper help or supplies or something, anything that could help.

  • EH: Well, considering that EH is an expert in healing magic… I would say that you’re in pretty good hands. The worst case scenario I can think of is that EH isn’t in top condition themselves and healing you would be a huge drain on them which would make it a lot harder to escape later on.

  • Rowan: Grr, I would love to imagine what Rowan would do here but I can’t because its related to Spoilers! Ugh!

  • Arthur and Madeline: I’m grouping them together because they have very similar reactions. They both have basic medical training and they would both try to figure out a way to escape while also keeping a close eye on you. The only difference is that Arthur would be more focused on getting you out first while Madeline would want your fever to break before she does anything.

  • CC: Hmm how do I put this? … unless your captors know some very spoilery things about CC, I don’t think they’ll be able to trap them in that cell for long. Hell, they should just be proud that they got them in the cell in the first place.

@NatsDemilla, Thank you! I always try to be creepy in good way. :wink: Especially when it comes to writing. And thank you so much about my NPCs! characters are a super important part of my stories for me so it really means a lot for you to say that! :smile:

Hey everyone!
Sorry I haven’t been on the forum lately but I have good news, I just updated!

Its not as long as I would’ve liked but I finally finished the first part of childhood which means that I can get to writing the more interesting parts of the game!

I also want to take this time to tell you guys that I made a patreon!

I just everyone to know that you don’t have to click the link if you don’t want to. This is just something that I feel would ease off the stress and anxiety I feel when writing.

No matter what you guys do, I just want you to know how much support you’ve given me and how much it means to me to know that so many people love my work! (hint: a lot)

I had the same issue switching between genders as I played.

Ugh, that’s what I get for trying to do fancy coding. Thanks for the reports, I’ll get on them as soon as possible!

I GOT SOME REPORTS OWO

Summary

ugh, I don’t want her to do that. I actually don’t mind being alone.’

'Ugh,

I think he hates me."
"No. Why, should he?
"He never comes to see me. Why avoid people unless you hate them
"I-I’m not the right person to ask that. But I will say this, she was very kind and deeply loved. Especially by his Majesty.
"The following pages describe the very first treaty made between our kingdom and the kingdom of Vruria. Unforutanly the treaty did not last.

Also
"

That can’t be true. Your little test is clearly wrong."
"

Evelyn!?" Florence exclaims as he rubs his side.

"Come on, we need to keep an eye on both of you until we find the other one.

"

Missing " and space between

You don’t want to disappoint your new friends! It’s not fair that you can’t have an adventure because everyone wants to control where you are and what you do It’s not fair.

Needs some fixing

!he flattens his lips as if to stop himself from blurting something out but one look at you and his shoulders sag in defeat.

“Soft heart” He says to Florence fondly and gives him the prettiest smile you’ve ever seen.

Full stop missing

Can’t believe I didn’t notice this one before.
In any case my male prince experiences a bit of gender weirdness after admitting to potentially wanting a kiss from a cute fellow prince in this scene: Florence becomes male and he suddenly becomes female, ugh! :unamused:

" “I thought you might feel that way.” Alden says.

“Well, what’s better than a kiss from a cute prince?” Florence chirps as he dusts himself off. Alden tilts her head at him with a strange look on her face.

“You wouldn’t want a kiss from a princess?” She asks and Florence shrugs.

“I don’t find princesses are very pretty.” He tells her.

“Hey!” You protest and Florence immediately backtracks and raises his hands up in defense.

“I think you’re pretty. Its other princesses who aren’t that pretty!”

The two of you go back and forth as Lady Alden looks on with slight amusement."

And more gender weirdness here. Seems this game makes you female once you admit to liking boys, ugh!

" “My name is Edward.” You remind her. 'She stops abruptly and stands there for a moment with her back turned to you. You open your mouth but quickly shut it when Cathrine looks back at you with sharp eyes.

“I am well aware of my grandson’s name” She grinds out. “Now come . We will study in the gardens. The public gardens.” She starts walking to the doors again and this time you hurry after her into the hallway. “Come now, Edward. We’ll begin your lessons immediately.” She tells you as she already starts walking through the double doors. You hurry after her.

“We will study in the gardens. The public gardens.” Cathrine tells you as you stroll down the hallway together. Like the rest of the castle, even the hallways showcase the king’s style and wealth. Breathtaking paintings hang on walls with intricate patterns that glim under the sunlight. Said sunlight floods the hallway thanks to the windows that stretch to the ceiling and are lined with gold. Even the plush, red carpet beneath your feet screams wealth and taste.

Despite the beauty around you, your main focus stays on your grandmother.

“It is important for the people to see their future ruler. Even more important for them to see you do something worthwhile, not dallying around like a silly child.” She says and looks down at you with critical eyes. “And stop your slouching. You are a princess and the future queen of Ravos, act like it .” She starts walking slower, her back straight, her hands delicately hold up the folds of her dress, and she holds her chin up with intense eyes…"

Anyway, looks intriguing so far but with the current gender bugs it is simply too painful for me to play it much further.
