I can’t give you a list because we’re still on planning stage, but I can tell you they will be the people who were reincarnated along with you, and some other characters, and that each race’s storyline will have some ROs be different.

I wanted to add some of these, but as it happens, some powers would overlap (such as Thor and Zeus, Hades and Anubis), not to mention that it would add even more work to a game that will probably require a lot of work to begin with.

Unfortunately, I can’t add more gods. But they exist, they just won’t appear (probably) since they are busy with their own stuff and seeding Earth with Magic. Although they might appear in an ending where you turn against Earth’s gods.

That’s a good idea! I was stumped about which powers to give to the other reincarnated people, as well as how to do it in different difficulty levels without having to write extra for each difficulty (such as them not having powers in very hard), but making it so that the other gods gave them at least one power sounds good!

Well can always go back to one with more charges or 2 or more power with 1 charge.

Which one you’re comfortable with the story

They probably exist

probably exist, yeah, but I don’t know if I’ll put them in the story in some way

Chinese Mythology is a bit complicated. I just did some research, and it would really require some understanding, because there are a lot of gods, and they are basically enough to represent literally everything, since apparently every phenomenon has a god or something.

It was already hard enough to choose the gods of every pantheon so that no powers would repeat. I couldn’t just put the most famous or important ones because that way, powers would be redundant.

Maybe I’ll keep chinese mythology for a future game. Something wuxia/xianxia like POMA and Aura Clash, it would be fun to dabble in that, though it would require a good amount of research.

Just put Buddha and sun wukong and Kuan Yin or the jade emperor

Well honorable mention doesn’t hurt like other champion have Chinese God blessing, even if it’s not playable it’s seems to add to flavor of the story.

True! I still have to decide on the other reincarnated (I am currently focusing entirely on the prologues to get a “finished” actual first official version of the game), but that’s a good point. When I decide on them, I will give them powers related to the other gods that did not make the cut for YOUR reincarnation.

Wirh zues avatar. Do you conjure a giant avatar like the susanoo from naruto or do your eyes just go white like aang?

Hmm… I have an idea might be able to reduce workload without sacrificing the power option and still make the story fun and interesting.

How about turning some of this blessing as passive power? Maybe? Like Zeus passively increases mana pool since Zeus basically archmage, Odin give increase wound healing (because of Valhalla and eternal war), Anubis passive can see spirit, ghost, soul of the dead, Loki passive can see through illusion and detect trap or hinting lies, Aphrodite passive will give MC pleasing look or easier to persuade, negotiate. Susanoo passive will grant small advantage during the day, Tsukuyomi passive will grant status buff during the night, etc

This is just suggestion or ideas that might work, I don’t want to add more since this is already much to start with.

I assume you mean the third power, that changes your stats?

It is not an active power, it is a physique. Basically, after choosing that power, once your body grows up enough your stats will be conditioned as it shows, and you will receive knowledge too (to symbolize your skills such as Marksmanship)

That can mean your appearance changes too, but I’ll leave that up for your own flavor. Oficially, let’s just say all that power does is increase your stats so you become basically like Zeus, but of course, weaker, like some kind of avatar.

That’s a good one.

For now, we’ll see how the powers go like it is now. But once things are better tested and established and have been balanced properly (because I will not pretend I have an inkling of an idea of how to balance stuff, for all I know the powers could be either game breaking or useless) we’ll see on adding more stuff to make the game better.
