TALE OF TWO PRINCES
After skulking the Choice of Games forums for years I’ve finally decided to post my own work on here.
Tale of Two Princes is a historical fiction about two twin heirs of the Amago clan during the Japanese “Sengoku Jidai” or “Warring States Period”.
In the full book you will be able to:
-
Customize your character and their personality
-
Play as your character as they grow up during the tumultuous Sengoku Period
-
Immerse yourself in the life of a Samurai
-
Develop your skills and person
-
Partake in massive battles
-
Grow your clan to prominence or watch it turn into dust
At the moment I have about 25 902 words written, code excluded. The demo contains the entire first and second chapter, and ends shortly after your 13th birthday in 1554.
I intend to update it with entire chapters, each chapter being roughly 10 - 20k words. My ambition is for a new chapter to drop every other week but I’m limited in my free time due to my military service which ends in June and so it might stretch to upwards of a month in between updates.
I’d also like to give a special thanks to @kckolbe who is contributing heavily to the mechanical side of the game.
WHAT FEEDBACK AM I LOOKING FOR?
-
Sentences that just sound wrong or weird - I’m not a native English speaker which means that I tend to splice sentences, among other things, just simply due to how my native language writes.
-
Tonal inconsistency - if a section gives you tonal whiplash, please tell me.
-
Spelling errors
-
Historical or cultural inaccuracy - while this book isn’t indending to be a one-to-one replica of sengoku-period life, if something is blatantly wrong or just feels strange I would like to know.
-
Plot content - Is there any context you feel you miss? Any characters which you would like more depth to before proceeding? It’s difficult as an author to keep track of what I’ve made explicitly clear and what I just know myself.
And that’s it, enjoy the demo!
Summary
After years of relative stability, the region of Chugoku reached a meltdown in the period between 1540 and 1570, seeing massive and ancient clans overthrown, subjugated, or eradicated.
This is when you are born, you are one of two twin sons of the leader of the Amago clan, considered to be one of the most powerful clans of the region. Can you maintain that power, though?
Surrounded by ambitious warlords, whose reputable skill and guile live on to this very day, it’s a race for survival to grow up and begin your conquest as your neighbours build up their militaries.
Your move.

TOMOE
Hailing from a lesser-known branch of the venerable Amago retainer clans, Tomoe was a prodigy in the arts of polearm combat from a tender age. Even as a child, her spirit could not be confined within the castle walls. Fueled by an insatiable thirst for mastery, she would often escape into the village under the cloak of dusk. There, she challenged budding warriors to duels with wooden sticks, turning innocent contests into fierce battles. Few could withstand her prowess; many left the duels bearing the scars of their encounter, while others were not fortunate enough to recount the tale.
Tomoe’s presence is as foreboding as a gathering storm. Her life, though brief in years, is densely woven with tales of conflict and strife. The battlefield is her domain, where her fierce demeanor and unmatched skill with the polearm command both respect and fear. Her name is whispered in reverence and trepidation, for it is known that to stand before Tomoe in battle is to dance with the specter of death itself.
Tomoe is an onna-bugeisha/onna-mushi, a warrior woman. A future scourge of the battlefield, you meet her rather early in her development as a warrior. She has an intence, menacing demeanor, even as a child. She will also be fully available as a platonic ally (or enemy…? 
)
