I checked out your demo from the December Writer’s thread. Some things I enjoyed are: The action. It’s easy to get cluttered and confused during fight scenes; being able to create a game that uses supernatural and power-based combat without getting lost in the weeds is a skill. I also enjoy the premise. It’s original and eye-catching, and using established demonic figures and putting your own spin on them is something I enjoy reading! Lastly, I gotta commend your word count, it looks like this is a rewrite, so being able to restart and push through and gain the momentum you have is awesome.
I have some notes, such as minor grammar errors on occasion, but after mulling that over, I don’t think they are worth getting into because there is one thing that really stuck with me in a way that can be improved on. I really think you should handhold audiences on the very first choice of your game. Progeny is not common language, and listing the choices as: protagonist, Abbadon, Asteroth (Asteroth choice infinite loops) without stronger explanations is confusing and can easily push away new readers before they’ve even had a chance to really get into your game.
I hope the feedback helps, and wishing you the best of luck on your game!
I’ve gone further than my OG version, that much is clear. And after I finish chapter 3, thats uncharted territory.
Im still debating on either having the other archdemons playable or just sticking with asmodeus/ashmedae. Specifically Astaroth. Abaddon I feel have more depth than Asmodeus/Ashmedae.
I will upload abaddon’s starting chapters tomorrow morning 12/23, gameplay focusing on healing vs necromancy.
What I can tell you with absolute certainty is that the firstborn will be the MC for the second half of the game. So after chapter 6.
This means that the ROs for Asmodeus/Ashmedae will conclude in chapter 6. New ROs will be for the firstborn.
Also…wish me luck on this but im bringing back classes for the firstborn. Starting as a knight, ninja or sorcerer. Ideally 3 specializations for each. Unique weapons too.
And thats it. Chapter 3 is 7 days and we’re only day 3. Day 4 is the family dinner. Day 5 is gender specific. Day 6 is dragon specific. Day 7 gets back on the main plot.
hmm… as asmodoes and dragon child, can you win in the first fight to master the monoflame or is it a scripted loss ?
tho i think the shade guy plan is pretty simple > use orc as bait > steal asmo body. get his revenge on luci and reach his goal getting body at the same time?
I think I’m done polishing. I did a once over, added some stuff. Nothing crazy. Added 1k words.
Obviously I’m writing the firstborn portion before asmo. Gotta catch up to current time.
Theres potential added content for firstborn between dealing with the lich king and arriving to Solaris. Focusing on Elysium and asmodeus’s adopted daughter, Eris…again.
Yo author could you make something like family tree in game so we can see the entire archdemon family lineage? Also what is the current numerical year the story currently takes place in?
