The Chaotic Element (WIP) (Short demo)

Does anyone here want more stats?

Right now I have Alignment and Cleverness, but when I look at some other games out there, most of them have 5 or 6.

I wanted this to be relatively simple, without too many stats to care about, but I don’t want it to be boring either.

I was thinking about adding Notoriety. Are there any other stats that you all would like to see?

i think is good enough, maybe you can add stats related to powers and combat abilitys…like speed,strength, single combat skill, armed combat etc

So we have a human form or is that a shapeshift?

The narrator is gonna blame me for things ain’t he?

@Dark_Stalker
The MC can only be fully human by using the shapeshifting ability, but his true form is kinda like a werewolf, just smaller, so it would be possible to simply use a cloak and a mask to walk around in a village.

People would probably be slightly afraid of a creepy man/woman hidden behind a mask like that tho.

And yeah, sometimes the narrator will interact with the player :smile:

I gotta admit im loving the story already, especially with the multiple endings to the demo so far

Your writing style and humor is lovely. The story is also quite interesting so keep up the good work.

I see that you also add lines and things like that two times now (might be more bit just haven’t been spotted by me) and it looks weird when I’m on my phone but that isn’t a big problem or anything.

@P0RT3R
Uh yeah, sorry about the problem with the lines, I have tested it on PC and IPad, but not on a phone, going to see what I can do to avoid that in the next updates.

Also, thanks for playing the demo!

Is too easy to die! Is only for beginning no? Like a newborn is helpless.

@Abyss

Your abilities will be upgraded in the next next demo, since the character will be 8 years older (with the mind of a 13 years old teenager).

I promise that the next part will have some action :smirk:

Okay, here is a little report of what happened today,

I spent a few hours writing, but in the end, the story was too crazy, even for me.

This is what happened in the part that I had to erase:

After the “Survive with the human” ending, you would grow up with the girl, and after a few years, her father would get killed by bandits. After that, she became a huntress to pay the taxes and have something to eat. You (the kitsune) had to remain disguised as a dog for all 8 years.

The girl always took you with her to hunt for food, but one day, you two stumbled upon a fox family. The huntress then kills the mother, and they all run in panic, but in the middle of the foxes, you spot a ghostly creature that looks like you as a kitsune, he/she looks back at you, and then keeps running.

When you two were walking back home, a fireball came from the woods and struck the huntress, fatally injuring her.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

After the fox ending, it would be the other way around, you would grow up with them peacefully, and then suddently, a huntress with a ghostly dog would kill your adoptive mother and you would run away, looking back at the dog before resuming your escape.

You then stumble upon a mysterious cloaked being, who would run past you and attack the huntress from behind with a fireball, leaving her at death’s door.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

In the elven storyline, the elves would teach you how to defend yourself, and how to travel in the woods without being spotted by travellers. But then suddently, while walking around in the forest, you would spot many foxes and a ghostly kitsune running away from a huntress. Using your elemental powers, you would kill her to save the poor family.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

So, basically, the main character was interacting with the other 2 versions of himself from the other 2 endings.

Again, this is not going to be in the actual game, I just thought it would be interesting to share some of the deleted scenes instead of just forgetting them ^^

Your a menace to society what would happen if a child read your game blah blah blah blah. I loved the game the humor made me laugh there are so few people with a good sense of humor these days but honestly “are you sure I should be playing with fire? Yes. Why? Because I told you to." That was kinda paraphrasing but that’s horrible I hope you understand why I’ve been laughing the entire time I was writing that part also very interesting and it seems like it has a good base so I give you a 3/5 chance of having a good game this is only because you’ve written less than 9000 words. But that’s really high the new ZE got a 4/5 in my book.

Where are the elves?

@Dark_Stalker
River -> Drink water -> Try harder

Be sure to select elemental powers before doing that tho

Wouldn’t a psychic be able to do the same thing? Or a illusionist?

@Dark_Stalker

Writing the rest of the story would be harder if I allowed more abilities there, right now I am using this to write the next part:

Human ending - player has lv 1 shapeshifting, currently disguised as a dog

Elven ending - player has lv 1 elemental powers, using its true form

Fox ending - player could have any of the 4 branches.

I really don’t want to change those at this point, because I would have to rewrite a lot of stuff :confused:

And a psychic needs to be at least level 2 to get past the mental barriers of the human mind.

Looks like I better learn to fetch…

@ballmot be careful that can get very confusing, and i think its great that you are making it funny, maybe look to choice of wizard for guidance, it kinda balanced that fairly well, was more serious though lol

@ChimeraLord

Those are deleted scenes, they are not in the actual game :smile:

I’m actually making the story a lot more “normal” than that.
