the inconsistency between first and third person is making my brain hurt.

“Slowly, you push myself up, scanning your surroundings.”
it should either be
i push myself up, or
you push yourself up.

this is just one example out of the whole thing. other than tho im loving it.

There’s a recurring issue with pronouns. For starters, you seem to be waffling between first and second person, alternating between “you” and “I” frequently. But even characters are sometimes using the wrong pronouns (the ghost you meet at the start says “you will never be at peace until…” even though context makes it clear it should be “I will never be at peace until…”

I’m enjoying it otherwise so far, but you should try to pay attention to that when writing and editting a bit more. It’s pretty distracting.

Update

Ive finished the side questlines. you can play all of them to determine which one you like because the next update into camelot and eventually salek, you will only choose one.

The side questlines will alter salek wheras just choosing camelot, you’ll have a canon salek.

in short, the next update is salek.

Did something happen to the demo? Why can’t I progress from when the Mc wakes up?

Lol welp, couldn’t wake up so you cant go further

What?

Demo works from start to end. So its on your end.

No he is right, the skip ahead function shows you stuff after the MC wakes up. But if you attempt to play from the start it ends when they get told to wake up…I would like to apologize for my earlier outburst XD. Tho tbf it could have been done differently to avoid confusion

Just select play again.

I was looking at wild hunt origins, and the character creator options to make a human character are extremely racist.

Wait, THE FUCK, you are right. Being Light skinned gives you the trait “Intellectual Superiority” and being dark skinned gives you the trait “Superior Physique” and “Pain Tolerance” (and mental fortitude but I don’t think that’s racist)

You.. don’t think racism is a big deal? I really don’t believe this is the defense you think it is.

You made up a magic system and a multitude of other races. You very easily could have just made up sub-races for humans??? The fact that you went a step further to say that they’re treated with suspicion at court is just so blatantly racist I don’t understand how you could try to defend that.

In a fictional world? No its not.

I’m so flabbergasted that I sat here for awhile staring at the page trying to put together how to respond… But in the case that you genuinely don’t understand the issue here:

You can write a story that includes themes of racism if you do it correctly. The problem is in the subtext of what you’ve written: a human race divided into light skin “intellectually superior” and trusted people vs dark skinned people with “superior physique” who are mistrusted.

It should be easy to make up unique sub-races for humans instead of merely comparing skin tones and by not doing so it reads like you’re commenting your own racist thoughts through your story.

Look, I dont think its a big deal.

It’s a pretty big deal when you attach actual racial stereotypes to your game’s mechanics. Stuff like “Intellectual Superiority” being tied to light-skinned people and “Superior Physique” to dark-skinned people is literally white supremacist pseudoscience.

And since every other race has their subs, it would be racists to have only human with no sub.

It’s less about humans having subraces and more about how you designed these subraces. You could have had human subraces based on geography or culture or background. Literally anything other than skin color. But you didn’t. You chose real-world racial coding and leaned into harmful dated stereotypes.

i mean you need high intellect to use most magic, thats not new.

The problem is that you tied “High Intellect” with light-skinned humans. You could’ve said “this culture values its scholars,” but instead, you made it biological and racial.

In a fictional world? No its not.

Fiction matters. Having all of this in your game makes it seem like you’re reinforcing harmful ideas and telling your players that these racial dynamics are not only acceptable, but mechanically “true.” It’s one thing to write racist characters or societies, so long as you challenge or critique it, but it’s another thing to hardcode racist ideology into the rules of your game.
