@dgprector thank you for giving us a IF where I can be Superman I have a few questions

  1. Do all inhabitants of Utopia have powers of just the Scions
  2. Was Mentor implanted in MC brain when they were created
  3. Are the different Scions created to look like the inhabitants of the planet they are deployed to

Looking forward to the next update.

I love the game! Found some bugs though; I’ll list them later, need to do a more thorough sweep.

  1. How many Scions are there throughout the verse, and why are they assigned to different planets.

  2. At the end, will we have the option to “reveal our plan to the others”? (Pseudo Omni-Man)

  3. Why is this game called, "The LAST Scion?

  4. Will we have the option to kill certain opponents?

I just hit the end of chapter 1 myself and I have to say, the ONLY thing this is missing so far is the save system. I enjoy games with systems like this, where its more about reacting than choosing an option that matches what you’re good in. We’re just good at it all, yeah? LOL

I’m enjoying this one, I look forward to the rest and what you bring in the future. Great job!

@wraithmaster20 This character reminds me too much of superman so probably not. Even tho I prefer villians to heroes. Villians are just more…colorful.

Hi there!
Apologies for not responding sooner. I’ve been hard at work on the next update (which hopefully isn’t too far in the future…).
Anyway, as always, I might not respond to your questions too specifically so as not to spoil anything, but I do appreciate them all.

  1. This is something that will potentially be explored as the story progresses, but as far as the player character is aware, they and MENTOR are functionally alone.
  2. No comment. :wink:
  3. You play as the last child of the planet Utopia, sole inheritor of all that this great civilization was. How/when did Utopia fall? That’s something that you may or may not come to understand as the game progresses.
    Of note, a “scion” can be the child of a nobility, but it is also a term for a clipping from a plant, pulled away to grow new roots…
  4. I won’t give a firm answer here, but I will say that this question had an influence on the initial concept of the game. I do intend for some of your opponents to be pretty reprehensible, and others to be a little more sympathetic, with most characters falling somewhere in between. I’ll also say that my personal philosophy when dealing with a super hero character of the player character’s type is that, frankly, they can resolve 90% of situations without killing or seriously injuring anyone. If the player character does wind up taking lives deliberately, it will be just that: deliberate.

@Cartman

  1. I’m keeping this a bit vague, but as a general rule, yes, Utopians have incredible powers compared to Earthlings. The Scion is enhanced even beyond that, to be truly superhuman upon their arrival on earth.
  2. Mentor’s a very important part of being a Scion, and that’s all I’ll say for now.
    3.I won’t be too specific here, but I will say that the people of Utopia determined Earth to be the best destination for their Scion project. The player character doesn’t perceive humans as being significantly physically different from a Utopian, to be clear. The primary differences between Earth and Utopia (as far as the player character knows) are cultural, technological, and in terms of super human abilities.

@wraithmaster20
Regarding becoming a villain, I’ll say that you aren’t going to be building any doomsday weapons or robbing banks in this game. I do intend for the character to have options that allow them to be on the rougher side of things (a little 90’s edgy, from time to time), but the core concept of the game is that you’ve been sent to Earth to be a savior. Whether or not you measure up to that, well, that’ll depend on your choices.

Will you also be adding a god mode in the future?

Hm I never thought I’d be interested in a Superman Like IF. But here I am interested and intrigued. It’s simple unlike some other Superhero IFs but the classic comics addition makes it different and somewhat unique among them. There’s complexity but it’s not so overwhelming that you get confused what the theme is that you forget this a superhero if unlike some that explore the more gray or dark aligned heroics.

So for now count me in

Currently, I’m not planning on one. The reasoning being that a big part of these types of games (to me) is prioritizing different stats and then living with the consequences. Another factor is that there are a couple of Opposed stats in the game that may be key in certain encounters, and also reflect the persona of the character you play as. Still, none of the math is set in stone right now, and I predict I’ll be adjusting certain checks right up to release.

When will the new update be released?

When it’s ready.

There’s a rule on this forum about asking about updates, because it puts undue pressure on authors.

Just a note that I’ve done a soft update to the game. There are two NEW chapters as well as some adjustments and corrections to earlier material, but it’s all still under active revision. I hope you enjoy it!
