Hero or Villain: Armageddon (demo version, new character sketches in post #62)

Thanks! (though you do know that this is the third part in the series?)

@Frankex_2272 I think it is indeed possible that it reads like this, especially is playing with characters with high AGI or superspeed… though in this one I have introduced an enemy that might prove challenging for that strategy…

If so, then I will wait for you to surprise us with the lore of this incredible universe of yours, greetings from Mexico.

Thanks!

Today I posted a (fairly big) update for those in the playtesting group. Hopefully now that my daytime job has become a bit quieter I will be able to make more substantial progress on this (current playthrough length is at 26,000, which is quite encouraging!)

How are things going with the card game version? I was still hoping to get a copy of that when it’s printed, even though Kickstarter rejected my card. :frowning:

Oh… the card game is out! Currently selling it on Mercari (a Japanese website, similar to ebay), I think it may be possible to buy from outside of Japan, but not fully sure how it works. Can you check?

Actually, now that my daytime job has calmed down (aside from restarting work on my choice games :slight_smile: I have also started working on another small board game)… pre-launch page is here:

And also I will be helping out the Kickstarter team tomorrow and Sunday at the Tokyo Game Market (anybody in Tokyo who is coming please drop by and say hi!)

So far as I can tell, they’ll ship internationally, but they don’t take debit cards, which is what I have on file. :frowning: I’ll talk to my husband, see if I can use his PayPal.

Out of curiosity, what is the price that they quote you? To Japan it should be just under 30 USD (including shipping fees… so I wonder what is the shipping charge elsewhere?)

Around $30 is what I got, too. It said shipping fees were paid by seller.

Oh, really? That is pretty impressive… so for the same price the ship anywhere in Japan or to another country…

Let me see if I can get a screenshot.

The first game was the only good one, it’s obvious that your choices don’t matter at all…not only does your character get bullied by everyone even if you are op, BUT this isn’t even a superhero book anymore

Or lightning powers oh and i think u should add like an evil sibling of some sort dat u have to fight later on in the game @adrao

No. He shouldn’t

Try the air element powers. Im pretty sure it already has lighting powers and I think you might even be able to become air with that power set.

I think an evil sibling would be a cool plotline but it would probably feel very shoe horned in since you’ve been an assumed only child for the last two book.

I think an evil twin would involve a lot of rewring (much of it structural), so I’m not so inclined to go down that route. However, I am contemplating some structural re-writing of the first game, to maybe make it possible to quit your job earlier… but, this is a can of worms I don’t want to open yet, as at the moment I want to continue with Armageddon. In that sense last couple of days I’ve made some progress, and started writing the final “chapter” for that (which would be around chapter 12, though chapters 9 and 10 only have the beginning of them written, and 11 is still completely blank (plus then I have to write all the side missions, and branching off points, which should be quite significant in this game…).

At this point, a rewrite could probably just be a new book, saying it’s another version

Mmmmmmm… that could also be a possibility, writing an entirely new book from scratch… mmmmmm

Gosh I swear this is one of my favorite IFs EVER!! I didn’t even realize there would be a demo, I was just getting bored when I happened to check. I’ll be repurchasing the first two and also buying this one when it drops.(since my first play-throughs are on my phone, but now I’m using a computer)

The ONLY thing i’d say is, more responses to our dialogue and action choices. Sometimes, there are points where we say or do something and it’s just that awkward moment where the character(s) you’re MC is interacting with, don’t even acknowledge nor respond. It just continues on with the story.

Other than that, I can truly say I personally don’t have anything negative to say about this game. I believe it was one of the first series of IFs I ever played and I’ve played it over 10 times lol. But now from what I know, you’ve updated the first two books AGAIN and so i’ll have to go back and see what’s different…hmmm may just do that tonight honestly
