As someone who very much enjoyed Choice of Kung Fu, I must say I’m overjoyed to see another period Chinese inspired game in the works. You of course seem to be heading in a much different direction, court intrigue and “big picture” kinda stuff which will more likely lead to comparisons with Two Cranes. Due in part to your distinctive voice as a writer though they already feel very different.
Not a great deal more I can say other than that your… extravagance with language lends itself very well to the splendour and opulence of the Dragon Emperor’s palace and the (presumably) highly refined/educated PC.
Ooh, I hadn’t heard of Two Cranes! Thanks for the rec! Wellll MC certainly has had chances to become refined&educated but the degree can possibly be decided by players haha.
I’ve liked Choice of Kung Fu, but never really felt any asian feel in it. This one, however, the words and atmosphere are much better and it gives the impression that it is indeed ancient China. I don’t recall any other asian works here, but I hope you can continue this. Even though, it’s a bit short, my interest is already caught.
Ah, thank you for your kind comment! My intend is indeed to flesh out the ancient Chinese setting, if unfortunately at the expense of long chunks of non-action text… But I’m glad u enjoyed it
