Hey, so, I have a quarter mile to walk, it’s 95 degrees out, and it’s been a week since I updated. Perfect time to brainstorm!
I have the character of the person who gives you a favor downpat, their goal and personality and whatnot. Save for how they look and a name. Seriously, names are a pain. As soon as I figure out how to hide spoiler stuff I might post what they’re like.
In the meantime, I have a concept rolling around in my head where there are three radically different ways to get passed one chapter, that will affect the story from that point onwards. Methinks the ways will correlate to your stats, though there won’t be a minimum stat needed to choose any path, and the paths will have ways to go through with any other stat (i.e. Body path will be able to be done using the Voice Stat or Mind Stat as well). There will probably be two people racing you to the top, and whatever you don’t choose, they will (a la Pokemon).
The first chapters will be spent in the dark. The lowest levels of the Prison have no lighting. This will make it difficult to translate to the player exactly what is happening, but I will probably include low ambient sources, enough to make out shapes. And of course, the other senses will play into this.
Either way, that’s all I have time for at the moment. Have a nice day!
