Unsanctioned [Dark Fantasy, Low Fantasy, Fairy Tale] ~183k words

hi! me again! :sweat_smile:

so i forgot to take a screenshot but it once again felt like something was missing before this paragraph where Cirern is giving us a lesson: ““Ah, yes. The…optimists, who swear it true that they laid eyes on our God," Cirern spoke with hints of amusement and bitterness as you reached this segment of the book.”

so i cross checked with the twine demo and found this paragraph before it that should be there before it but is missing: ““People say that witnessing the One’s visage is a blessing,” you said with some trepidation. “Not only because it allows the person to create spells, but because of the sight itself.”

then there was also a duplicate here:

Additionally there’s duplicates over the span of two pages I think it is with this section up until “It seems like Muir had taken note of your poking around and did not appreciate it.”

Then it’s repeated again on the page after the choice regarding if you were glad to be rid of Fri or not.

You’re a hero :weary_face: :pray: these duplicates are driving me crazy haha. I’ve added a variable that should track whether you already got that scene or not now. Hopefully that was the last one!

And you’re right; the sentence during Cirern’s lesson only showed up if you played the scavenger background, but it should work as intended now!

"You know exactly what she can be like. Such disrespect - to you, especially. It’s about time we find a new head maid. Juryn deserves a prompotion.”

promotion?


The three of you formed a triangle around a large, metal pot which was crowded by three beings your eyes could hardly make sense of.

Despite what it says about your eyes being unable to make sense of them, right afterwards, you are able to identify the creatures in detail and what they are.


#…Ellis.
#Briar.
#Rory.
#Quill.
#Another name.

The first name begins with … while the others do not.


Your name is Quill, your old life forgotten.

I like this part of the stats screen. The impact of losing your old identity really hits you here. :saluting_face: :+1:


“’Give me your hand, please’.”

Single and double quotes used together.


Though not a talkative man, you had rarely seen him so still and silent. The tension that had built over the past year seemed to shift to something else rather than disappear.(?)

What’s the question mark (?) doing there?


With that said, you eye the figure in the distance. They have probably spotted you, too. It might look more suspicious to not approach at all.

You turn to Muir and clear your throat.

#“We talk to them, of course.”

“We talk to them.” You speak the words with ease, as though the answer was obvious. “It’ll be difficult to get an idea of how to proceed if we don’t know what’s going on.”

You notice his mouth droop downwards. “And…you’ll do the talking, I take it?”

You shift, feeling slightly awkward at the thought. Cirern had emphasized the importance of first impressions of presentability, but you had never quite grasped it. Neither had Muir.

Perhaps part of you had never wanted to.

#“I guess I can, if you don’t want to…”

“Thank you.” The answer is instant, and you almost glare in response as Muir unloads the burden of conversation onto you. Although you had offered, you had expected at least a little bit of resistance from him.

“So…that’s it, then? You’ll just leave it to me?”

Muir gives you a direct, unamused look. “Yes. You said you would.”

“Yes, but…but I…”

“It’s better if you do it,” he interrupts, and you’re slightly surprised as he places a hand on your shoulder. “You’re good at talking.”

“Is that a joke?”

He does not respond, but you think you see a faint glint in his eyes before he abruptly turns his head.

With that said, you eye the figure in the distance. They have probably spotted you, too. It might look more suspicious to not approach at all.

You turn to Muir and clear your throat.

#“We talk to them, of course.”

The above is a loop I found. You might want to take a look at it.


Once you grow up, you are able to pick some strong stats. However, I don’t think that is reflected in the stats screen, but I would personally prefer that.


Good luck!

Thank you so much for this. I’m going to go through it all properly and edit accordingly once I’ve got more time :heart:

Oh and the questionmark…that’s a bad habit I have of putting a (?) behind sentences I’m not sure about/think sound strange or may want to change :sob: I really need to stop doing that haha

EDIT: I just want to clarify that the “your eyes could hardly make sense of” line only appears if you play the aristocracy or scavenger background. It’s the MC’s first time seeing hags, so their appearance comes as a shock at first but that doesn’t mean that the MC is clueless as to what they are and can’t identify them after taking them in properly. At least that was my thought process when I wrote it. I might adjust or change it down the line, though, we’ll see!

EDIT 2: The stats screen is still being worked on :slight_smile: I just finished writing the relationship part for the scavenger background yesterday and plan to finish that first, then I’ll definitely add something about your chosen stats!

The other errors you reported should be fixed now! Thank you again for all the help :blush:
