Hero or Villain: Genesis (feedback thread. #2457 update on Armageddon, DLC, etc...)

That is quite difficult, for a number of reasons, and would likely involve much paperwork. It has been done in the past, and I have myself collaborated on co-op games such as Starship Adventures or Lost in the Pages. However, cooperating with others can take quite a bit of time, and ends up requiring much coordination. These days my main problem is a lack of time, and having to coordinate with another writer is not something that I can really do (all the time I have available is for my own writing, as I have quite a few other non-IF projects going on….)

hmm.. gotchu,so its a no or is there a space in between that can be worked out? for example,them writing scenes for the book and you reviewing it when they’re done?

That is still work that is being done by somebody, who would then need to have some sort of contract, etc. In practice these things involve quite a bit of paperwork, and coordination… as it is, I even struggle to find time to spend on the forum, so collaborating is not something I am contemplating. Things may change in April 2027, but that is still about a year away…

alright,good to know,have you been able to submit the thunderclap update?

Yes, I implemented the thunderclap for all 3 games! I have submitted the update to Genesis to CoG, I need to work more on Battle Royale before submitting, and… well, continue to work on Armageddon…

I was playing it again, and I choose to absorb the second stone at the underground with the guy from Hungry, at that time I choose the power of regeneration, and it does seem to be working and so on, but the power didn’t show up at my power list

Sorry for the late reply. I just looked at the code, and you are indeed correct. There is a small bug, which means the power is not shown in the list, but it should be working correctly. This will be fixes next time the game is updated, but this might not happen for a while, as there is a fairly big update coming… :slight_smile:

Whoa! You have like some sort of Multiverse Mechanic.

Well, as the game expands the structure becomes more complicated. I keep meaning to make some sort of graph, and I guess I will have to get around to that at some point…

Does anyone know how I can get the first museum stone? I’ve looked all ovetr online and can’t find anything.

No matter what I do steel aeronaught ends up running away in the museum, so I don’t know what I’m doing wrong

At the first turn, you need to grab the stone. The second turn, onwards, will lead to the Steel Aeronaut escaping.

So, is there a second run in with steel aeronaught at the Museum?

Just asking because I didn’t have that option in the first altercation

Thanks for the response btw

Book 5 will be a branching mess of a grand finale. (You and Havenstone should go out for drinks afterward, he’s gonna have the same problem.)

Yes, this is one of the issues with IF. As you expand games you end up with more content and threads, all of which have to be carried forward…which is why then games become bigger and harder to write (as it is difficult to remember everything, etc), and why it becomes harder to finish them. But, I am sure both him and eye will get there, slowly, one day at a time, 1000 words each day… (keep telling myself that!) :slight_smile: Interestingly I had the same conversation with Eric Moser (who I’ve met in person) some years ago, about all these issues…

I’ve now come to the point in the game of choosing to go after the gold or meeting mr wilson.

Is it possible to still follow the Steel Aeronaught and become a vamp if I meet mr wilson? Or does that lock me out of that possibility?

3 games? Other than Hero or Villain Genesis and Battle Royale, what’s the 3rd game? Cause I didn’t see Armageddon on Steam. Unless you’re talking about the Supercharged DLC?

@Andrew_Cook That point is a major branching point in the game. You cannot do everything in one playthrough…

@Zarkrai Armageddon is the 3rd one I am referring to, but it is still not out. What I meant is that I added all that also to this game. I want to finish the DLC for Life as a Lich and then try to see if I can get Armageddon out by the end of March… impossible but one can hope!

You’ve probably answered this before but will open a demo thread for Armageddon once it’s done?

Thanks for the response Adrao! I was just hoping to set up a romance with Catalina and still become a vampire but if that isn’t achieveable it’s all cool.

Your games are amazing btw! I’ve played through multiple times in the past both genesis and battle royale.

I’m just starting to return to playing game books again now that I’ve got more time
