September+ Progress
Added 2022-10-06 12:37:15 +0000 UTCIt's time to sum up all the progress on Demonheart: The Ice Demon I've made over the past month, and it's been a lot.
First, I had a long session of testing and polishing Sirath's route. I've worked in relationship counters for Nissa and Eniri, and given them some consequences, so all the little choices I was unsure about are starting to make sense. I've added a little bad ending. Well, how bad it is depends on your point of view. (Do you like handsome psychopaths?) There was something about the drama near the end that was bothering me, and I had to rewrite some scenes to make one character less horrible and hopefully give Shar more agency. So this "test run" was not so simple, but it was worth it.
At the end of September, I started the first big official test run of Esmius's route, and I'm still on it. I was intending to watch out for character relationship counters in this route, as well. So far, I've found some places where I was writing like Shar hates Esmius, and some where she was inexplicably devoted to him. 😅 So I've been adding choices wherever I gave her a weird or unexpected reaction. I still have to work out if everything will be up to player choice up until the last decision, or if the game will determine how Shar has been feeling, and set her on her way toward the appropriate ending.
Thank you for sticking with me on this journey! 🥰
