The game reminds me of fire emblem but thatā€™s not a bad thing I love the fire emblem series so see a book like this makes me really excited. I canā€™t wait to see more :blush:

@km_perry Funnily enough, the Fire Emblem references were not in mind when I started writing it, but I can definitely see where they influenced me in creating this. XD

Update: 02/06/2020

As promised! Here is the first update for The Warrior backgrounds.

Iā€™ve updated a scene in the Market path of Glas background

Update: 2/9/2020

So I wasnā€™t very happy with the original intro, so I decided to work on revamping it out and making it more interesting.

(Iā€™m also working on revamping stats, but the intro is playable! Let me know what you think :D)

An additional 12k of content has been added, which includes:

-name/gender/appearance customization options

-some up-close and personal time with the goddess Yenia (who is officially an RO starting with this update!)

-an introduction to Vikander/Viktoria and Elias/Ellyn

-brief appearances from Talarae, Orion and Marcol!

-Alice gets mentioned by name XD

Feedback on spelling/errors would be great! As well as what you like or dislike about the change from the original intro!

Check out the updated intro here.

I am so sorry for that awful joke! :bowing_woman:

Moving on from whatever that was... Feedback for you.

The hair portion of the character description after customizing your characterā€™s appearance reads a little clunky.

ā€œYour hair is dark brown, straight and in a pinned back at the nape, down your back style.ā€

The format might read a little smoother if it looked more like; ā€œYour [length], [texture] hair is [color], and [style].ā€

Iā€™ll use the options I chose for my own as an example; ā€œYour long, straight hair is dark brown, and pinned back at the nape.ā€

Iā€™m not 100% on whether that would work for all possible hair types, but the style choice is the only spot I can think of that would need extra focus to sound good. :slightly_smiling_face:

@LadyUmbreon89 yeah the coding for this was really awkward when I was writing it out. In order to include all those possible hair style options, some of the language gets a little weird. Iā€™ll have to toy with it a little more, but I will try your suggestion with some of the other options and see how those read! Thank you!

(also I cackled when I saw your joke lmfao)

So! Since I am in the process of redoing the stats system, I wanted to get an idea of what types of personalities people like to play in COG games and what they prefer to have options for. You can choose up to 3 personality types you like to play:

  • Friendly
  • Sarcastic
  • Stoic
  • Brash
  • Shy
  • Charming
  • Cold
  • Other

0 voters

If you choose Other, please reply to this post with the other personality type you like to play as, so I can consider that personality type as well!

P.S: If you are interested in the Cruel/Manipulative personality, like this post here
If you are interested in a Calculating personality, like this post here
If you are interested in a Easygoing/Laidback personality, like this post here

Genuine personality is also good, ^^ I kinda confused the difference between cold and stoic? :sweat_smile:

@Fitra_Ai I sort of see stoic as the silent, doesnā€™t show emotions type. Cold is similar but I see that more as being outright dismissive, or the opposite of friendly: someone who is nice and kind.

Stoic can still be kind, they just donā€™t demonstrate it outwardly.

But hey! this poll is meant to determine who wants to play what, cold may not even make it in lol

Can you add a cruel and manipulative option? :3c

@OMG_Im_Really_Dying If I knew how to update the poll without messing with the results, I would lol. Iā€™ll edit the post and ask people to vote for cruel by liking your post lmao

Perhaps there could be a calculating option. Not someone who is cruel but rather someone who thinks about their every move and the consequences they could have before acting

@Ollangar Oooh I like this one. Iā€™ll do the same thing with cruel and edit the post so people who are interested can like your post

@Mosspool13 Great introduction to the world and story youā€™re telling but I have a question, If Iā€™m at war with the Ilder Kingdom why did I spare the soldier that tried to kill me by knocking him out ? Did the MC knock him out so he could be interrogated for information ?
