The Scarlet Legacy WIP

I’ve begun work on my new game The Scarlet Legacy. In it, you play the as one of the last siblings from your family. The story is a Medieval fantasy, more dark in tone, like Dragon Age Origins or Baldur’s Gate. One thing leads to another, and you find yourself joining the Fabled Scarlet Warriors to stop another dark age that only they can prevent.

THE BASICS, I GUESS

SPOILERS FOR WHAT TO EXPECT

  • Decide what weapon you use to crush your enemies
  • Decide how you feel about the ways of the world.
  • Deal with your inner guilt in a healthy way, or let it consume you
  • Mentor a young girl to become bad or good, to show mercy or to slaughter.
  • Meet a cast of companions of your journey that can grow to either love or hate you.
  • Be the light in the darkness, or the shadow that snuffs it out
  • Choose your mcs gender, Man, Woman or Non-Binary.
  • Find friends, enemies, and maybe.. a Lover???

Choose whether you’re better at brute combat, understanding strategy or maybe you can just talk your way through?

The prologue is currently all that’s really out, with some pages into the first chapter, as I was focusing on learning how to code. At least you can make your character and get a feel for their inner turmoil’s with the past. The first plan is to polish the prologue to add more player choices and creations, and following suit with the future chapter releases. I plan on updating weekly, but having a full time job might that a little difficult.

1 line 84: Non-existent variable ‘anger’

Maybe that’s where the game is supposed to end, but just in case.

*Would like to add here that the beginning of the game will have less choices over actions then the rest. I’m sure its off putting for some, and I might change it in the future, but it’s important for the story progression to have the intro to be railroaded

@CodyViews. Did notice some issues with being called he instead of she and other like instances when playing a sister mostly from the crusaders.

Beyond that there was some moments i think the way written it made us seem the bigger older sister when we are the younger sibling.

Other than those great job so far and has me wanting to see more and why i get this impression the father essentially sold us out kind of situation.

Looking forward to seeing what comes next.

Ya i rewrote some scenes on word and copy pasted into the files but missed some variables for the gender lol. And ya, i want to add height options, but i like the mc seeming to be the older sibling since the narration is from their point of view and they see themselves as the responsible one.
Thanks!

Chapter 1 gives you the option to choose a field to study in, so you can decide if you prefer a combat focused mc, tactics focused, etc.

The mc doesnt feel like my mc at all? More like an already predetermined character that we are reading the stroy through their lenses. This heavily ruins the immersion for me turning what could have been an interesting permise a chore to read through.

This interests me, and I’m an imperial monarchist…

So, for starters, we should have the lady crusader as a romance option.
And do spend a bit of time describing our romance option’s features.
Nothing spells love like a guilt-ridden lady knight and ogling.

The MC’s sister dies but we can hear her voice later?
That’s interesting, although I am hoping that she does come back either in a supernatural way or that she healed and gotten stronger with her magic.
I adored her tender and caring nature.

You should also consider adding a lore page for all the information about the factions and baddies in your story because I got a bit lost with the Crimson and the Crusaders talking.

Grandfather of the Order should be called Grandmaster, or some other religions title like Knight-Archimandrite.

And what’s up with the Crusaders showing up in the village? Did the MC’s father sold him/her out?

I could help out with the coding and grammar, but I’m not sure in what capacity since I’m a Dudblood.

I hope we can meet those 2 Crusader and our father I know we killed one Personally this is a vendetta against Them Personally I think our father sold us out for money Dangerous thing about alcohol it can turn people into monsters It’s addictive like any other drug if been used too much The 2 Crusaders played it like it was a game like it was no big deal that might bite him in the end or their families depending on what type of character we are Or how spiteful we are It’s a saying be aware of the people who have nothing to lose they are the most dangerous ones out there Don’t care about the consequences
