Totem Force [Released!]

 I'm just wondering if winning the tournament will be more trouble than it's

worth- “Kid who broke into our lab, suddenly superhero appears” makes you suspicious.

"Kid breaks into our lab, superhero appears, and suddenly wins a martial arts

tournament without so much as attending a single karate class" is basically slapping them in the face with your identity.

@stsword Actually, if you have high intellect, you can make this observation in-game. That’s also why you can throw your matches with both Akira and the Heir.

I know that, I always go for high intelligence characters in these games, what I don’t know is if it actually matters to the storyline.

Any chance of a high intelligent MC defeating the true heir? I just can’t seem to find the correct combination

Thanks this helped alot!

As Urban just mentioned a few posts ago, have one stat at least 58 with the other at least 38, it doesn’t matter which one is which.

Well, then you still have to make the right choices for those stats. (If you have low empathy, you probably don’t want to start talking about the Power of Friendship™, and so on.)

Okay, I’ve updated the game.

It’s not the full Episode 6; generally I try to keep the episodes at around 10k words, but this thing is already at 13k, and is still only 2/3 of the way through. Since it’s been about a month since my last update, and I’ve just reached a natural pause, I thought it made sense to upload what I have.

I should warn you that while I have randomtested the new content (so there shouldn’t be many bugs), I haven’t proofread it, so be on the lookout for typos and plot-holes.

First time on your thread, I had a great time reading what you have so far!!! :sob: I cant believe I missed this gem. I didn’t catch any errors during my run but wanted to say this I looked forward to playing more of this!

Enjoyed another play through. I really like your writing.

It’s heating up alright, just a quick suggestion if you don’t mind, for the party could we please choose the black leather outfit we can wear to the tournament too?
Not going to dress up too fancy for a party my mc wasn’t really that keen on but neither do I want to go in just casual clothes or pajamas.

Oh got an error too when trying to date Phil: chapter6_3 line 1151: bad label l7_1

i got this error when i played

How do you win the fight against the True Heir? Is even possible I mean?

Okay everyone, the only way u beat the heir is if you have major will and good empathy. In the fight, when he grabs you and tries pushing you off, resist, with your high will, it’ll work. Then talk to him and you can, surprisingly, get him to yield. I’ve tried major will with strong brains, and it says u have no time to think so you lose. Also can confirm major empathy strong will and vice versa never win so pretty much only way to win is majorly great will and strong brains. I haven’t tried major intellect with strong will yet, so idk about that one, but this is sure fire. The way u choose ur stats is in the beginning, choose to ignore the cops, and think about what the beast is. That’ll give you this. I’m out. -Tevin Hintz

I realize it’s super late to reply to this but I just wanted to throw my support for fusions, if only so I can get this scene:

fuse with teammate

“Heh heh…”

“What is it?”

“I’m inside you.”

You can win with any combination of stats.

Okay. Finally finished reading through this thread and the game in its current state. Yay.

My character’s name was Constantine, but most people call him by his nickname, Constantine. To the outside world, he’s a ordinary, highly intelligent flirt. But secretly, a friendship with a little cherub named Constantine turned him into the golden superhero Constantine, leader of Constantine and the Constantines, known to begin battles by shouting “Constantiiiiiine!”

Still not sure how I manged to keep that secret identity a secret. Well, you know. Until the party..

I’m good for ROs, seeing as Constantine is a shameless flirt. So long as I can flirt with everyone I meet, I’m good.

In terms of actual feedback, somewhere in my playthrough my Ghost was called Totem even though that wasn’t his name. Like a terrible tester, I didn’t make a note of where, but it happened. Will try to reproduce the bug while also checking to see how much I can flirt with Lani leading up to my party.

I guess I’d like to be able to use my bow more during fights, as standing back and taking pot shots is way more in line with my character’s personality than than punching things.

I’d really like to maintain the option to dislike all this hero business. Early on, there seemed to be those options, but they sorts fizzled out. I see my MC as a guy who groans every time a monster shows up, muttering to himself, “This is going to be my whole day, isn’t it?”

I guess more options to be annoyed at having to be a hero, or to be exasperated by the sheer ludicrousness of the threats we face would be great. I really enjoy playing a grumpy superhero.

@idonotlikeusernames, @Jeffrey_Foster: Oops. Should be fixed now (and I know what you did to Rafael’s phone, you bad boys :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:).

@Mxm124, @Tevin: Yes, you can beat the Heir (first time around) with any combination of stats, as long as one is at least 58, and another is at least 38.

@PhoenixAgent003: Fusions are currently unlikely, but not impossible (they would certainly not happen in every ending, even if they were included). Constantine sounds like he’s had fun (and yes, flirting with everyone is an option I’ve been trying to include); I’ll try to add in more annoyed choices, too. Also, it looks like the “Totem” error was as early as Episode 2, so I’m quite surprised no-one’s noticed it before.
