(WIP) Scales of Justice - ACCEPTED FOR PUBLICATION (Last update: 08/07/2024)

the reason why ‘healing’ magic is rare is that it’s dangerous and highly regulated. No one wants a student going down the deep end to their name.

Hi!! Sorry, could you specify to me the details of the unselectable option? I mean, whether you accepted/rejected Silver Demon’s deal, and what option appears unavailable to you. I also understand that you are a sword user, not a bow user, right? Because for combat MC’s, you must specialise on a certain weapon, at least in this first book!!

Yes it is!! V presents themselves as V Darieri, and thus they are sometimes referred to by their surname instead of their name. They are also the only character with a surname in the game, and they’re very proud of it!!

Hi! I am a sword user, I did not accept the silver demon’s deal and the options unavailable were the sword and bow options but! (basically, it seemed to be the physical options were blocked off maybe by accident?) I’ll take some screenshots and add them to this post(?) or a later post if you prefer

I also don’t quite remember if choosing a primary weapon(?) maybe it was at the very beginning? In the stats, it said I used a sword.

Ah! I see, (I personally) thought it was a little confusing, maybe V could also say that they are called Darieri at times when they introduce themselves? (a suggestion only :slight_smile: )

Okaaay it took me a bit to figure out why it wasn’t working, but I think that’s fixed now!!

Your choice of weapon happens in your first fight during chapter 2. I think there should be a warning, however, I will double check and add it in case there isn’t!!

Oh, V will be delighted to repeat their name more than once XDDD

Idk if anyone mention it yet but there is a lot of wrong pronouns for female ro

Hi!! Yes, thank you for mentioning that! I went through the chapters again today and tried to change all the uncoded pronous that I could find, so there should be less now. However, if you find any more please do let me know, as I obviously may accidentally miss them!! My fear to make the ros too girly if I write in feminine brings me to this kind of errors, as my current tester also plays the game with male pronouns. :sweat_smile: :sweat_smile: That’s why I’m always grateful for people to notice that something so hard to find is wrong :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I found a typo. It should be “entertained” and this error.

Hi, thank you so much!! As much as I revise there’s always things wrong, so this is so helpful for me while I’m not doing the final big edit of the book!! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
Also, thanks for the error, I think I got a bit confused between files and coded a chapter in before writing it XD

HI, IT’S SOJ’S 1ST BIRTHDAY!! TIME FOR A POST AND A POLL

Hi everyone!! So, a few days ago I realised that it has been a year now since I’ve started this piece of interactive fiction. While it has took me a long time to work on it due to uni and personal issues, truth is that this has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life, and one that made me the happiest, for I got to publish my own work and see others enjoy what I am able to produce. Being someone who enjoys entretaining others, I am so glad I discovered this corner of the creative world, as it gave me the necessary tools and courage to start my own first steps in the writing industry.

I already published in my Tumblr a post about it, yet I want to repeat my sincere gratitude to all of you here, my dear readers: without you, this long journey would have been practically impossible, as you give me my passion and motivation to continue to write, the will to work even harder and to improve my writing every day that passes. I am happy that I had the opportunity to meet such a community, and to form part of it. Thank you, really, thank you so much!!

Now, to the fun bit: as part of the small celebration of SoJ’s birthday, I am going to write a special prompt about one of the ROs, creating a version of it both in the male and female gender of said RO. In order to decide which of the ROs you’d like to see in it, I’ve created a small poll that will stay open until Monday, after what I’ll count the replies and choose the most voted RO as the winner. If you want to participate, feel free, it’s anonymous (at least I don’t see anything from my result’s page) and open for anyone!! I’ll be eagerly waiting for your decision.

With all my love, Julia.

(Small update, there has been an issue to the poll not working properly, it’s fixed now though so if you couldn’t place your vote before try again!!)

SMALL UPDATE AND WEEKLY PROMPTS

Hello there, long time no see!! I hope you’re all having a deserved rest this summer, be it at home or somewhere else. On my side, I’m having a slightly hectic time, with my MFA starting very soon, and many places that I still have to visit.

I am currently working on the next chapter of SoJ, which will hopefully be released sometime in August. However, as my writing isn’t progressing as quickly as I want (and, as per usual, I’m adding scenes that bring the word count up :"D), I decided to release small prompts related to characters, lore and the world of SoJ, in order to bring you closer to my story as you wait for the main narrative.

I will post a poll every weekend with a deadline set on Monday evenings, and I’ll try to have the prompts written by Tuesday-Wednesday each week. If you are interested in participating in this new small interaction between me and this lovely community, I’ll be posting the links on my Tumblr account!!

The first link, however, will be poster here, too – I hope you’ll enjoy this idea of mine.

See you soon,

Julia.

I definitely enjoyed replaying this again! :blush:. It’s so unique. Love playing my half satyr!

I really love this already.

I’m so glad to hear that!! I hope you’ll enjoy it even more when the new chapter comes out - it’s finally going to place a focus on yourself and your choice of species, which hopefully will entretain you all with some deeper insight into the world’s lore, as well as provide with the feeling of a unique journey depending on your decisions.

Thank you so much! I seriously appreciate all of your kind words, and right now I’m even happier to hear them as they help me through the beggining of a new, tough personal journey! I hope you continue to like this game - I promise the last RO is going to show up soon XDDD
