Summary

50 centuries ago, when the universe was created 6 thrones appeared each of then is being held by a god presiding over one of the 6 elements: fire, water, earth, air, dusk and ether, those divine 6 created the world in an joint effort. After that a 7th throne appeared, the gods knew that they who ascend the throne will rule over the universe, so a war has ben declared to decide the most powerful god to sit upon the heavenly Throne, this has been the war of creation, though all 6 gods lost to the war to the 7th entity, the conductor of time (this is basically the background of it). the story will take place 50 centuries after the war of creation.
Edit: you are a human living in a small human village, pretty normal, huh? But 5 years ago a treveling mercanary, who is actually the same age as you, arrived at your village, many of the villagers didn’t like them, because the do have some issues with elves. But their oppinion quickly changed, after the mercanary defended the village on their own against some bandits, ever since then the mercanary stayed in the village and your farther even took them in. The mercanary, as you will find out is quite a good story teller. To show their graditute the mercanary helps out where they could, even on the fields. This peace does not last long, for the war of creation shall beginn anew and you find yourself dragged into it.

It’d be swell if you would consider adding some choices (flavour or otherwise) in between the three paged wall of text. Or maybe add a codex.
It would help the reader to better digest the information. Thrones? factions? Wars? I found it to be a bit overwhelming.
Especially when we’ve barely anytime to establish our main cast yet. Good luck.

Wow, that’s really good so far and I have to say, that I found it extremly interesting. I’m eager to see how your game will turn out in the future.

the prologue is supposed to grant an overall of the background and creating the mc, it is aswell only a tale told by noah/nora and the mc was not present 50 centuries ago, so i saw no sense in more choices if i am honest, the comming chapters will have more choices and a codex will be included in chapter one or two when you receive it from noah/nora

nope in the tale is stated “eternal life”

But are they like all the others tales where the elfs gets old slowly? Because in the other tales a 20 year old elf it will look like a recently born baby and once they hit 80 they look like in their 20s

Extra choices would more be to help keep the reader engaged, and avoid infodumping.

As an example, you can have the MC interrupt and ask questions.

Im impressed… Even though i was waiting you to come up with something solid, i wasn’t expecting this much. The description of Noah is like reading a visual novel though at some point i felt like that’s enough. And i must agree with those who said the prologue is a bit overwhelming by the means of information.

I totally agree with this. It will make digestion a lot easier.

By the way, do you think adding non-binary gender option? I felt worried when you said gender doesn’t matter but it’s just so perfectly written you sum up the situation and avoid any offenses.

Also i would like to see you creating a rather large, detailed universe there. Looking forward to see where this thread goes :grin:

Why does the childhood friend have to be a boy? I hate when that happens :disappointed: can’t we please just choose for them and the duke’s kid? :thinking:

I’m pretty sure if I was given the choice whether a character was male of female, they would all be female. I find myself choosing this at every opportunity lol.

A human if that is what you meant

Is hat a good or bad?

I am already working on it

good to know that i managed it

I hope it will meet these expectations

it has actually no reason, the childhood friend’s gender is decided when you pick the mc’s gender, but i should be able to chenge that in an active choice, though the duke’s kid will have the opposite gender of the childhood friend.
