Mildly curious. But I can’t help but notice the lack of reference to electricity. Will we be able to use Lightning or Electricity from our Magic? Would that be from the Elemental side, perhaps a mix of two or more of them?
This is important to me, I absolutely fucking love magic focused around electricity. Even though lightning is technically a form of Plasma…

@rinari Hi, I loved the demo. Just though i should point out that the in the Explanation of Stats the “Team Player vs. Lone Wolf” is showing above the “Tender Heart vs. Iron Fist” which in the Traits section is the over way around.

I don’t think so! It only started happening October 30th (it had never reset when I edited the OP before that) so I’m not sure if it’s a glitch or a new thing for Discourse or what, haha!
When the MC first arrives at the Shepherds’ Order, they had just lost their Healer, so as the game starts, there isn’t. But that changes as the game goes on and more people are recruited! 
A lot of that time period is up to the readers’ headcanon (partially because it’s up to the readers to decide how much time has elapsed between the 13th birthday and the present, since the MC’s age is left up to the player), but your education (self-taught, apprenticed, or Circle-trained) happened after the village was destroyed, so at least that should inform your MC’s history!
Ah, thank you so much for catching that!! It would have taken a long time for me to notice, lol!
Haha to me the darkspawn are more like orcs from Lord of the Rings, kind of mindless monsters! The Endarkened (or demons) are more similar to the demons in the Fade (though they took inspiration from the djinn in the Bartimaeus trilogy of books)! 
Lightning magic is a thing, though which school it falls under depends on how it’s being used; conjuring magical bolts of lightning to hurl at enemies is usually Battle Magic, whereas summoning storms and calling down lightning from the sky onto your enemies is Elemental (more Weather, since you have to be skilled). I can’t promise that you can use lightning magic constantly, since trying to include every possible spell is beyond my skill at this point, but it’s more what fits for the situation. So if you’re fighting an enemy, you may get a choice to paralyze them (enchantment) or hurl lightning at them (battle), but in the next battle you might have the choice to throw a fireball (elemental) or summon a thousand snakes (wild). Hope that makes sense!! Long story short, lightning magic is a thing that will appear, but you’re not going to get to use it constantly.
Thank you, @NathanL! Thanks so much for catching that, I’ll fix it now! (Love your avatar btw, L was my favorite character in Death Note!)

What’s changed in terms of story with the new update? Any different structure?
2 Likes
Only the day off scenes with Blade, Trouble, Tallys, and Shery–everything else that changed are features like the character guide recording certain things or how behind-the-scenes systems work! No significant changes to the existing story beyond that.

So I accidentally hit on Trouble (Though to be fair, I forgot he was bi and I though he was oblivious to anything that can be taken in a romantic context). 
Funny how he claimed it didn’t matter if Robin kept the shirt on or not, but was clearly glancing at him.

I just played one round of the day off scenes and I’m absolutely loving the new interactions we can have!
There's just a small error:
My first day off wasn’t over yet but the scene went directly on to the second day off.
I was looking at the code and it seems like dayoff = 3 is missing a *goto dayoffchoices 
One more question: We can’t access the commander/Caine and his pet scene yet right? Can’t seem to get it in the game xD
I was just taking a look at the code to see the Caine pet scene, and...
#Actually, I’ll let Caine choose the name.
Caine smiles shyly and looks away. "Well, I’ve already been calling him “$!{firstname} II,” he mutters under his breath. “I guess we can just keep that”
* dawwww * 
Edit: I love your punny names too 
For fun’s sake, here are a few memorable names some of my students have given their pets (in their stories): Potato, Nugget, Boom Boom, Fish Fingers, and French Fries.
I think my kids are a hungry bunch.

Trouble’s heart at that very moment:
Ah, thanks so much for catching that!! 
It’s fixed now!
No lol, you won’t have the ability to become commander until much later in the game, so Caine and his pet aren’t accessible yet!
Thanks, a lot of them were user-contributed! 
And yeah those kids sound hungry!! How old are they haha??
(High schoolers lmao)

I just wanted Robin to be a bro and tease him about his own shirtlessness to lighten the mood! I didn’t think he’d actually be a little interested to actually see him shirtless (boy is not as oblivious as the tumblr made him sound).
But I’m all for accidental charming and giving others heart attacks by mistake (or making them slap their foreheads in frustration because MC is being a accidental tease).
How would Troule have reacted if MC really did take their shirt off though; that is the mystery today. 
Children have amazing naming sense.
Random fact, but at the animal shelter I worked at, we had a chicken named Turkey.

Trouble’s heart would have been like BA-DUMP but outwardly he’d be like “ehh let’s get washing, haha” and he would just studiously pretend to not notice the MC’s shirtlessness and just tell himself they deserve to be comfortable while working, lol!
I love that video, I reference it in real life frequently! And that chicken must have had the soul of a turkey…
Yup! And keep in mind it’s just a choice, you may not get the option depending on how your game plays out!

Now I wanna know how Blade would react to a shirtless Trouble and MC scrubbing pig’s blood off a wall

Blade: (Comes in just in time not to see the pig blood, but simply just see MC and Trouble sticking together in a compromising position) What are you two doing? 
Trouble: (Hastily and with great panic) WE’RE MAKING OUT! 
(MC quietly facepalms behind Trouble) 
Blade: …What? 
Trouble: What?
(MC just casually wraps his arms around Trouble to support the out-of-blue excuse blurted out). 
…I’ll be back. I’m going to your Tumblr.

Blade:
Blade if he’s not interested in MC: well do it on your off-time, you’re still working
Blade if he’s interested in MC: …
Scary!
Just as an aside everybody,
There is now a ShoH discord!
I can’t say I’ll be on constantly (I really have to finish this book…) but come if you want to hang out and discuss! It’s a chaotic mess, just like Hael!
