Smiles Are Dead (WIP)

Wow, really love the premise of the story. Reading the posts above me, definitely will be looking forward to making people smile, while avoiding smiling myself. On that topic (I’ve only skimmed the replies, so hope this wasn’t already asked :blush: ) Can you get your soul stolen by another demon? What will happen to the souls that you already had stolen, do they get transferred to the new host? Just wondering! Good luck on your game, and on school work. I know how much of my time it eats up… it is ridiculous!

Im pretty sure we can bond with other demons, Blaze said he’ll try to add romances in the other thread because of me.

So is there anyway to stop the split personality revolt but keep your power?

I hadn't even thought about romance... I'm open to it though. It adds another enjoyable aspect to a game. I'll ask the obvious question then: Can you romance a mortal?

Yay I read the old thead and fell in love with the idea I can’t wait for the demo!

Wait a minute…Viska Yiska,Niska O.O I believe I’ve stumbled onto something! Planet, Indian lawman,Demon Lord…a combination such as this can only mean one thing!!! BlazedStorm and the rest of C.o.G are part of the illuminati

Yiska will, of course, deny the facts with the power of law, naming people and insightful comments.

Tin Star references aside…

This sounds interesting. Tentatively watching.

So is there a reason for everyone being S.A.D or would that spoil a major plot point?

S.A.D. = Smile and Die?? Maybe

When the will the link be out for it? (DEMO not full game)

Sorry, I was away last night! Question answering time:

@Shawnheatherly

  1. Yes of course! I have a few planned clearly in my mind already, as well as some more general ones too.
  2. Yes I do have that planned too. There will be an instance early on in the game where this ‘mentoring’ is possible too.

@Dark_stalker I’ll see about that! And as for romance too, it will be open to both demonic and mortal souls.

@fox_vixen Why thank you! I can’t wait to kick start this thing myself!

@Razgriz Raz is onto it! I repeat, we’ve been found out! Abort abort! D:

@Derpy I’m glad you have interest! I hope not to disappoint! And I never did play Tin Star, so the reference is aside me anyways xD

@Dark_stalker I’m answering these in chronological order so bare with me. Everyone being SAD? Hmm, wouldn’t be a major spoiler, but still, I’m going to be evil and so, you shall see for yourself in the demo/full game.

@TheMeek I interpret it as Smiles Are Dead, so there is a clue? Smile And Die suggests a different thing

@anon48296871 As soon as I can. As most know my time is constricted extremely tight, so only time can tell I’m afraid.

Hope that answers anything so far. Ask away if there is anything else!

Will it be possible to obtain a mortal shell somehow, to be more approachable to mortals?

@Caligae I plan to have different abilities assigned to different types of demons. You choose what you are at the beginning, and one of them will be a ‘mortal disguise’ as of such. I am also thinking about having you adopt these abilities from the consumption of other demons, and mortal souls to increase your own abilities. Not sure on that one yet though.

@BlazedStorm Not sure if these questions were asked before as I skipped through most of the forum,here are my questions.

1.Can you absorb the souls at will or anytime a soul opens up to you and the person smiles?

2.Does the person only need to smile for the MC to absorb their souls or do they have to open their souls to the MC or do they have to do both?

3.What’s the main point of the game?What are we fighting against or what are we protecting or what is the goal we strive for?

@Drini7

  1. Only when the soul is open to you.
  2. Smiling is more of a metaphor for the person shutting down their natural defences around their soul and fully trusting you, so much as a best friend or lover would. They would need to do this willingly for you to take the soul.
  3. At the start, you are content with harvesting the souls for your father, but as you go on and learn more about Viska’s schemes, you will have the choice to act against or for him. These ‘schemes’ will be discovered as you progress through the game.

sounds awesome, hope to see it finished soon.

Yes, I’m so happy you can form real bonds with mortals, and it will be fun trying to mentor a demon, teaching them how to survive. Oh, I can’t wait…

Being evil hmmmm… SPOON OF DOOM

Oh No Not the Evil Spoon Of Doom!! :scream:

So is he literally our father, I’m hoping to be a wraith assassin, making people smile by turning them hysterical or killing their enemies, but wraiths are usually humans turned into demons thats why I’m asking?
