(WIP) In the Future

[Danial]

FURTHER DELAY: Chapter 5 and 6 are complete. But I would like to finish chapter 7 and 8 before giving you the update. No more long waits

Play-time: 30 minutes - 1 hour (8k words)

DEMO: https://dashingdon.com/go/17198

Everyone knows you’re the best innkeeper in town. But with mounting debt, and no friends or family, you feel worthless. If you don’t fix your loneliness or self-esteem; you’ll fall into darkness.

Your nightmare comes true when you are arrested and sent into slavery. Broken and afraid: you’ve finally lost all hope.

That is, until a mysterious stranger appears out of a magic portal.

NEXT UPDATE:
FOUR chapters uploading on 30th November 2024

UPDATES:

1. Chapter 4 released.
2. Stats page updated: memory feature.

Prince Decorum and you

@Danial I tried opening the stat page.

[Queen_Zelda]

It’s a very nice read and I admit I cried as well I like our new bestie

[kizzygm]

Im liking this. How old is mc? Nd i cant help but picture melon being short like 5 ft

[FabulousBlasphemer]

Interesting start, looking forward to more!

[Miss_Cellaneous]

Absolutely spectacular!! I will say the stats page is a bit broken, it doesnt open and freezes the game in a constant loading (so thankful i saved right before i did that lmao). But lemme tell you!! When darling Acorn says the line\title “in the future, you are my best friend” i got teary eyed like damn, aft such a harrowing time as being forced into slavery, that was so soft i loved it so much lol. I cant wait to see more!! You’re awesome!!

[Danial]

Hey! Thanks for playing. im still undecided on implementing stats. for now its kinda like ‘creatures such as we’ where there were no stats. im trying to go for the idea that one single choice affects an outcome rather than the combination of choices.

Like, in a stat game, if you choose to be flirty all the time, it affects outcome x when you hit 70%. In my game I tried to make it so that one single flirty line you say affects outcome x. And if you say flirty line x, y, z, you’ll get yet another different outcome.

but yeah im undecided. i’ll fix that error tho.

[Danial]

Thank you for playing! New chapters coming next week (possibly)

[Danial]

Haha thank you!!!

First choice is Grandson or other. I didn’t pick the grandson option due to ‘son’. I will test it. The other first choice is some type of stress-related issue? Checked.

Should Grandson be in the very first choice or should that say grandchild? I auto second choice because ‘grandson’.

Choice of gender comes up later.

[JAD]

Yeah I chose the second option and when after being able to choose mc’s gender I went female and read a line that the iron shackle around my female mc’s neck itches her adam’s apple.

[Dragomer]

Very unique idea

[jjc73]

Didn’t get further, it was expected its mans viewpoint just from first option. My assumption ended up being right. Reason I paused at gender select.

I know men that show nothing in the neck, not due to weight. That might be weird to read to those men? Others obviously have that and wouldn’t be a matter.

Idk, the whole grandson part already caused me to think its all mens pov.

[kizzygm]

So is mc a mage?? Or is the a option to become a warrior?

[HarleyQueen]

Whats up with the grandSON choice if we later have the choice to chose our gender/sex?

There need to be more differences between male and female in my opinion.

[Lord_Hezam]

is the game (gender-locked-male)?

[jjc73]

No. Can select woman, nb as well. Just written from mans pov.

[HarleyQueen]

So is the one in the beginning not MC but some other dude?

[jjc73]

Not from what I can tell. I say is the MC.

I didn’t get past gender selection option still. The other post says it disregards choice currently.
