The Soul Stone War (WIP)— Full Demo Uploaded, Guide to Secret RO on #1124

The speculations are getting wilder by the second lmao! After all this, who the actual secret RO is will seem boring in comparison :joy: We have had Manerkol, mule, the Stone, the MC, the guesses are all over the place :smiling_imp: It will be both a relief and a shame when the game comes out and the guessing stops :rofl:

@xelvmi Don’t apologize! :sweat_smile: I’m sorry for the all caps, haha, I just didn’t want any misleading info to spread out :grimacing: There are 3 polys, but none of them are with the secret RO. This character is too possessive for any polys to occur :wink:

@Taylor_Enean Do you mean you want to to romance him with no touching? Because in that case, if you want to romance Morkai, the route with the less touching is friendmance. The touching that happens there is minimal and of the friendly sort, but it is there. I don’t think you can romance him and have no touching happen at all tbh :thinking: That’s only for the friendship route. But if you meant no touching in the friendship route, then yeah, go ahead :rofl: AND IT WILL BE MARCH 5TH IN 7 DAYS :crazy_face:

@deShanre Thank you! I’m so glad you liked it! I’m waiting in anticipation too, I want to finally be able to discuss everything that’s happening! The wait is killing me :dizzy_face: :joy:

Wow, I can’t believe we only got 7 days left until the official release. It seem like only yesterday I stumbled upon this glorious game. I’m super excited to see the gang again, especially my lovable grump Morkai :hugs::yellow_heart:

Yes, he’s very… touchy… :laughing: …as in, he likes to touch, and that creates a bit of conflict with that route, meaning to befriend him is a bit of a battle if my MC reacts poorly every time. :wink:

But that is part of the fun! :relaxed:

Yes, why so many days?! :anguished: :grin:

It won’t be a single book, no! I think the author hasn’t confirmed how many books the story will need, but I have seen them say on tumblr that it will take as many books as necessary to fully tell the story they have in mind!

Last time I checked, they said it would be at least 3 books. And to be very honest, I would say that’s the opposite from disappointing! :smiley: We have to wait for the full saga, yes, but that means we also get much much more content than if it was one single book!

If you ask me, that’s only a positive thing, not only we get to enjoy this wonderful universe and characters for longer, but we also get the opportunity to see the relationships grow in a nice, natural way! :smiley:

I feel like they can get even wilder. :laughing:

…Dorlas? :nauseated_face:

Sounds very ominous.

As for the previous touch talk (hopefully I word this OK):

Personally wasn’t too bothered with it myself. Yes, I may have made a MC of the Harvest Bounty background and they have expressed a certain level of aversion to touch themselves (like making it clear to the bandit they were not just going to let someone reach toward them so casually at first meeting), and there will likely be other MCs who just aren’t particularly touchy people in general (regardless of background). But Morkai just seemed to strike me as one of the more tactile members of the group (well, aside from Dae); that just seems how he connects to others a reacts to things (strikes me at the kinda person prone to physically react to things). Straasa himself always seemed mindful enough to ask if MC was fine with him doing it, reaching because that’s his first response but taking a moment to ask MC if it was fine. And the options so far have shown MC being able to have a range of reactions to such things actions, so I think it’s all fine at the moment.

Short of it is, I’ve met both touchy and not-so-touchy people; it’s often how people show their reactions to things or connect with other, so I don’t see it as all that big deal at the moment. Not enough for someone to write off a story (and this is coming from a person definitely not one of the touchy types, but who has some friends and family members who lean toward the tactile). But hey, just my minor opinion and it’s not something I can fully judge until I’ve read through the full story (only can give an general opinion that’s been given from the demo).

The only time I ever immediately thought ‘bad touch’ was with Bain and Manerkol, but I’m pretty sure more than half of us were all thinking that.

Will there be ranged weapons that the soul stones can change into and if so will the projectiles be invited with some special power cause that would be awesome

@Okami-Nora Don’t mention Dorlas to me, plz. Or Bain for that matter :nauseated_face: And I’m glad the level of physical contact was alright with you, Nora! Plus, Bain and Manerkol’s touching was supposed to make you go :scream: so I will take that as a success :joy:

And @jason_stark, yes, there will be ranged weapons! You can choose yourself if the weapon you want will be ranged or melee. But the powers are based on the gemstone, so you can have one out of six powers, not a different power for every single weapon. But more info will be given on the powers in the next game :+1:

Due to low budget I have decided to pass on some COG titles and wait for this.

A very sensible plan my friend twirls a very illustrious mustache I too shall do the same.

Wait, I KNOW THAT MANHWA!! Don’t know if I wrote it right but I KNOW IT! Isn’t that one about a guy who gets reincarnated/teleported back in time the moment he died to fix past mistakes to save his future? I’m pretty sure it is!
Four days to zero time… Man you would think the hype can’t get high enough, you’re in the wrong fellas.

@Kalpana Omg, thank you so much! I hope that it’ll be worth it! I can’t wait to hear what you think once the game is out! And you too @Kathra!
