Yeah, I’m not a fan of that either, it kind of takes away the value of gold, in my opinion. I want gold coins to feel truly valuable, like a single one could completely change the life of a farmer or any commoner, the problem is that weird error that keeps showing up. Hope I can sort that out soon

Yeah in some settings it feels like 3 gold can buy you a rusty axe or an acre of land.
I gotta wonder what they’ll charge us for in Laphis.

I cannot wait for this game sounds amazing.
Found one error so far: quote:
“Do you ever stop to think about it?" you ask quietly, your voice heavy with sorrow. “What those experiments did to me? to the other kids?”.

Hey, I’m glad you’re enjoying it! What’s the error there? something with the grammar?

Choicescript doesn’t recognize modulo for it’s usual sign operator (%), since this operator is reserved for it’s fairmath. Instead, it uses modulo- like the literal word.
Here’s an example based of your conversions:
*create copper //input var here
*create silver 0
*create gold 0
*set silver (copper - (copper modulo 100)) / 100
*set gold (silver - (silver modulo 100)) / 100
I’ve tried and tested it, it should work for both CSIDE and CogDemos. Also, here’s a wiki for the breakdown of math in Choicescript

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was really confused about why it wasn’t working and was wasting so much time on it, but now after messing around with it for a bit, everything’s running properly!

Oh, you’re right, sorry, lol. I was half-asleep yesterday and didn’t even notice. All fixed now, I’ll upload it along with the next update as soon as I finish it.

Kinda hoping you can romance Azgor or somewhere along the lines of a relationship, in a way it is already one, sharing consciousness at times if not at all the time depending on what you consider to be sharing. And on top of that their essence is so intertwined it seems unlikely separating each other will ever be safe or even possible.
It is explicit that you crave like him (so far I have only done one playthrough as of writing this) the more you become like him. An ending where you become one with him seems nice to me depending as to why, well, and not in the way you are consumed or die, but a plain fusion of personalities instead of one or the other assuming the pilot seat (which could be an option thinking about it, every so often swapping control so he can experience what is like to be mortal).
Something I do want to see is the option to just prefer to be in dragon form, or learn the ancient tongue with Azgor since he’s so against translating in the beginning and something you can do to pass time with him instead of everybody else (I haven’t seen many choices to spend time with him when you can choose which character to spend time with so I’m like 
)
I do want to say I like Arael and wish there’s more with her at the end of chapter 2 update in contrast with what we had when we were at the camp since where we are going and what is happening seems to be of her interest since she is related to THE slayer of Azgor, and the way she talks about how flying ships weren’t a thing because of the fall of the empire and that is not brought up (I don’t think I seen it) and is waved off does feel weird to me. She feels much more important than the story gives credit, and I do want to note this is the friendship route I think, so the MC not addressing her importance to the whole plot against his city is… interesting. Or maybe I am giving too much importance to her

You people always want to romanticise something. You already forced the author to romance Ruby and Wall, characters that are like siblings to us.
You are not satisfied with that , you want to romance Azgor as well?? How does that even make sense. Wtf

Well actually Ruby, Walls, nd mc aren’t like siblings. You can make the argument that Az’s blood runs through us but that’s do the being experimented on not being created from his DNA. Most exp had the’re set of parents and were orphans and weren’t raised as a family but as living weapons. And there is a thing of being childhood friends. Just bc you grew up with someone doesn’t make them your sibling automatically. You can’t call someone weird for liking/being inlove with someone (who isn’t blood related) since childhood. That’s like saying 2 African people can’t be together bc there ethically related but not blood related.
I’m with you on AZ tho don’t really see how he’s remancable. His only true love is dead, he doesn’t want a new mate and hates even the thought, plus the dragon tradition of that, and he despises mortals. He tolerates mc bc they’re a vessel more than anything for AZ. He does seem to be warming up to mc like a father figure but still not sure if he just wants to make sure his strongest vessel doesn’t die to soon but im not into guys so maybe i just dont see his charm 
so the only way I think he can be an Ro is if author overhaul the entire world bc its centered around Az’s beliefs and personality and its odd flirting with a disembodied voice that wants your body and not in the good way.

Eh, I’m just sharing my thoughts, I’m not forcing anybody to do anything, if that’s how sharing a thought is like I guess I’ll just not do it lol. And also I’m not you people, I just read this and I am already being target for something I never said or wanted.

I never read this in-game, so how does this trigger and where? Genuinely curious.
As for this, romance may not be the right word then, but friendship in general. Based on what you said, there’s stuff that doesn’t seem to be readable on the first playthrough or on the romanceless route, since that is probably triggered when you are in love with one of the characters. On the other side oooof, thinking about it, the amount of variables because of the first choice of this game and the amount of characters… asking or wanting or suggesting/etc anything feels like a heavy ass task xd
edit of the edit: something that I wanted to note as well is that I thought that the option to romance walls and ruby were there as a “if you don’t want to romance these two then theres this” since the story seems to be going over all places of the earth and seem to be going to be a long run to the end, so it did feel natural to me.

I think its when you lock in the romance option, at least on my run I think it was around the time before you make the decision on where to take the soldiers. When romancing Areal, Azagor asks the MC if they are sure they want to pick them as their mate and then you get the chance to ask him about how dragons choose their mates and if he has a partner. Which prompts him to tell you that dragons mate forever even beyond death and that he doesn’t want to talk about his dead mate. Or at least I’m assuming they are dead.

Oh yeah, it makes total sense, too bad to me romancing Areal feels wrong (because of the amount of things she’s been through, I feel like she needs a friend more than anything else at that moment, and since aging shenanigans “at that moment” is an eternity lol).

Most likely have to romance someone for it. And I think author mentioned it a while ago. But both my choices involve A and L or A and R so idk if it’s just her that’s unlocked the lore or not got a break from work so I’m gonna replay. Love this game.

Oh a lot of messages here out of nowhere haha! I’ll try to get through everything.
I’m really glad you enjoyed it! I’m aiming to finish the next update before the end of September, so you shouldn’t have to wait too long for the end of Chapter 2.
As for Azgor, a romance with him wouldn’t really work because of his past. Dragons approach romance very differently from humans, it’s something very sacred to them. I don’t want to spoil too much about his past, but for now, the dialogue that touches on this only shows up if you’re far enough into Arael’s or Zatus’s romance paths, since those are the two that have progressed the most so far. I hadn’t considered how it might not show up if you’re not romancing anyone, so I’ll look into possibly adding a moment later on where the MC can try asking Azgor more about his past. I was already planning to expand on his backstory in the extra side story eventually, so this would fit nicely.
That’s something I plan to explore more in Chapter 3. It’s been the hardest chapter to figure out so far, but since quite a few years will pass during it (if everything works out), there’ll be more opportunities for things like shifting into preferring dragon form, and spending more time with him. I’m still working out how to make it work without making the timeskips feel forced, but that’s the direction I’d like to take.
I think of Arael a bit like Jon Snow from Game of Thrones, she has the potential to be a pivotal figure because of her lineage and power, but she could just as easily spend the rest of her days in isolation without ever leaving a mark of her existence. Her role becomes more significant if you pursue her romance path, since she’ll open up a lot more about her past there and you’ll have more options.
Regarding the flying ships, they haven’t existed since the fall of the Aurelian Empire, and Arael was still a child when that all happened. I didn’t really expect the MC to suspect her of having any connection to that attack, considering how long she’s been in isolation. That said, I’ll go back and see if it might be worth adding a little more there to flesh it out.
I wouldn’t say I was “forced” into writing those romances, they were always planned as ROs. Personally, I see Ruby and Walls more as childhood friends than family. There were fifty kids who survived the experiment, they all grew up together, and the mages sometimes referred to them as “siblings” just for convenience. But none of them had any real sense of what a family should look like, or how one is supposed to act. Still, I know some people might see those relationships differently, so I made it a choice whether the MC views Walls and Ruby as family, friends, or something more.
Yeah, none of the experiments are related by blood at all. The whole “siblings” thing was just a label. The kids all came from different backgrounds before being taken in for the experiments, and they were raised as weapons of the kingdom, not as a family. That part of their past, how they were chosen and “collected”, will be explored more in Theresa’s route.
Yeah, there are quite a few bits of lore scattered across different routes. Eventually I’ll probably add a summarized version of everything into the codex, but I do enjoy keeping some details hidden like this, it makes exploring other paths on a second playthrough feel more rewarding I think.
It hasn’t been easy, lol. I’ve already had to cut a lot of variations because they were drifting too far to properly manage. At one point I even wanted to add a path where the MC could basically just say “fuck it” and run away to live in isolation with their chosen RO. But with Theresa’s route, Ecbert’s route, and the independent one already in play, that would have made it a fourth major branch. Add on top of that the initial personality variations, and things get messy fast. I do feel like I’ve slacked a bit on keeping those personality differences consistent, but I’m planning to go back and refine that retroactively later, maybe even add that fourth path eventually.
