[Takashi_Shin]

[Elthuyu]

Ah ok thanks for clarifying

[KJM]

Gotta say, love the premise and the story so far. Didn’t find anything to nitpick, so how about a choice suggestion? ;p

Spoiler, duh!

… let her have her way? Granted, I don’t know the type of relationship the two have, but maybe it could’ve turn into a favor for a favor kind of deal, with the sister buying the thingy in the end - or if the bet never plays a role further down the chapters, it could be something to tease mc about.
It terms of stat-building perspective of this scene, i imagine it being crafted along the lines of “i could have (one of the 4) but i won’t”

Hey everyone, thanks for all the comments. All this interest is making me feel bad! I got one of those “real” job things ugh — the “suck out your soul” variety. It’s all stress and leaves little will to do anything but de-stress when I get home, but I haven’t forgotten this and I’m plugging away slowly. So thank you for all the interest, it really does mean a lot.

@KJM Haha, never crossed my mind to let her have her way. I can definitely add that. Just let it roll a 1/3 and you can test your luck.

Just finished the demo. It’s really cool so far. I like the idea. Keep it up!

My first and last on this is that it’s incredibly fun on all levels. (Not just like “I had fun with the game” but just… The whole thing got me excited) The magic so far is fun, the imagery is fun, the MC’s attitude is fun, and I’m a sucker for the “stage magician uses magic” concept.

I wish you the best with this, wholeheartedly (also with your soul sucking job. I know that feeling well).

Is this back? Please tell me it’s back, it was one of my favorites wips.

[2xs]

Yes, I feel the same. I sure hope it is back in development.

[TheKing_GamerAntoinn]

Same

[Tpryor]

Ditto

[Razorbladejones]

Awesome style! Love the concept and familiar choice (idk why the raptor was so cute) combat was also written very well. You’re on the right track so far keep it up

[Aleksa100]

Oh I was just thinkin about this the other day
Great to see it opened again

[Smol_Tatortot]

I have read your work you did good job on this

[rinari]

Since this thread has been opened, it’s great to see lots of encouragement and enthusiasm for the WIP! However, let’s be careful not to add pressure for its development, per rule #3. Thanks!

[Revache]

Haha! Oh boy, the amount of replies already gives me ALL the fuzzy feelings and makes me feel really bad that I left for so long! I’ve just been busy/stressed, and I didn’t want to post and get peoples hopes up before I knew I would really have the time to really get back into it.

Yes, we are back and more focused than ever (the “we” is me including my dog as moral support)! I never really stopped thinking about this story, but I did realise that I was an utter fool and underprepared. I was having so much fun writing in the moment that I never gave enough focus to where the story was going beyond a general idea of where I knew it had to end and what I thought would be “fun” scenes.

So the last few months have really been me sitting down and ironing out the big plot moments of where the story is going before I write myself into a hole. I have since done that and have a few changes to make to the story.

Firstly, you won’t be engaging in too many Super antics in the first book. They’ll still be present, but we’re going to forget the Supersona for now. It was a fun idea and it will definitely be making an appearance in the next book (not to get ahead of myself) but a lot of people seem to be more interested in the magic and I agree that it’s more important for now. I’ve really thought about it and decided that I need to get as much lore through to the reader as possible in this first book! And, well, no one wants to be fed that lore through exposition, so I’m going to be bringing in a bunch of characters from various magical families and a magical investigation to get the job done.

Secondly, the wasteling character is going to become more of a character because people seem excited by the idea (originally she was a bit of a throwaway). However, this means that I’m not sure if she’ll still be killable at the start. Not because I don’t want to have to write two different paths, but I don’t want people to miss out on a whole character arc just because they were a bit trigger happy before they really knew what was going on.

So I’m just taking the demo down for now because there are some things in it that badly need changing, and I hope to have it back-up with the changes and the next chapter in a couple of days.

It’s great to be back and thanks again for all the love and support! It really means the world.

P.S. (I might not have realized that re-opening this thread was going to bump it and I was going to just sneak some silent changes into the main post…as silent as the wind…oops. That just means it’s time to get serious. )

No pressure, take your time. This is not your job or your livelihood, so just keep perspective.

Yes we all missed your project, but we waited this long, we will wait however long it might take.

Remember Rome wasn’t built in a day, but it was burned to the ground in one day.
