I’m thinking the aging process. Of course, most of the story will be when your are in your older teens/twenties. Even the idea to progress time depending on decisions. ---

i was wondering does the game automatically decide that your are a demigod or can you decide yourself if you want to be human or demigod? ---

Game title will not be released. That’s one thing I can at least keep a surprise. But I will take ideas. I won’t reveal if I decided to choose it though. Credit will be given though. ---

It would be your choice to have a god as a father. Or you could see if you could get a surprise twist. Glad you like it so far! ---

From what you’ve said so far, the only thing I can think to add is that you might want to draw a bit of a central story line. The whole ‘you can do anything’ sandbox is nice and fun, but truly difficult to pull off. For example, make the PC is a demi-god ala Hercules, and it’s about their fated rise (or failure to rise) to godhood. Without a ‘core’ to build off of, a lot of things get lost, and options have the potential to start to feel unimportant. ---

You can keep the original gods but have the ‘new’ god could just be an unknown one. You could even work it into your story. some strange person appears before you saying “your a demigod your father was Bingo” your character replies “never heard of him” stranger says “well he isn’t very well known only a dozen followers” Maybe have the original gods give the PC specific stats whereas the new god gives more choice but at a cost of not having the help of one of the ‘stronger’ gods. ---

Hm, for girl ideas, perhaps a merchant, the equivalent of a lady-in-waiting, scribe, or some profession in which she’s disguised as a guy. Personally I’m more in favor of focus on the non demigod characters, it’d be fun having a regular guy/girl earn his/her way to godhood through years of adventuring and learning. And it’d allow for a neat look into the protagonist’s motives, or maybe the player could choose the motives. ---
