Progress Update #4

Happy New Year! I hope 2024 proves to be an amazing year for everyone.

It's been slightly over a month since I opened my Patreon, and what can i say other than the support from you guys has been absolutely amazing. Thank you sincerely.

Now, what's next for Super System: Monster Evolution? Two words: "More Planning." The more I write for this game, the more I realize the importance of thorough planning to ensure a smooth journey. So, that's precisely what I'll be doing. The upcoming months will be dedicated to organizing my thoughts, expanding on ideas, and breathing life into the world. Expect some lore dumps!

Either way here are the goals for the next update:

1. Full implementation of the Spider path to catch up with the Salamander path.
2. Expansion and fleshing out of the Prologue.
3. Possibly completing Klaus's Side Story part 2.

January is bound to be a busy month! Once again, thank you for your continued support, and happy New Year!

Some Ros art, and Klaus.

Hello everyone, hope your day has been wonderful so far.

I'm crossposting the art (plus some new ones) i accumilated on discord . I plan to include some of these in the game sometimes soon, and i hope you like them.

December Q&A answers.

Thank you for particapating in this Q&A, alot of good questions, and without further ado:

1. What are the main inspirations for SS:ME?

Many sources of media served as inspiration for this game, but if I were to pinpoint the main influences, Godzilla and the Warhammer universe played a significant role. Exploring the diverse species and rich lore in the Warhammer universe ignited my desire for a game where I could assume a different role, constructing a species with customized traits and envisioning its existence in various scenarios. Having engaged with interactive fiction (IF) games since 2019, the idea of creating a monster evolution IF game emerged, and the response has been fantastic. I'm sincerely grateful for your support, and this journey is only just beginning.


2. How did you decide on Salamander as the first starting species?

While watching a documentary on rapid evolution, scientists observed a reptile species that rapidly evolved and acquired new traits within a few decades after being relocated to a new island. This sparked the thought: Wouldn't it be interesting to write about a similar species? And so, I did, also i always found salamanders to be cute lol.


3. How many total starting species will there be?(has been answered before but answer again kekw)

I plan to include a maximum of four starting species. I aim to keep this project realistically grounded. We have already chosen one other species, and the third one will be selected in the near future.

4. Will all the different species start roughly in the same region? What will the differences be for the different starting species?

I did consider implementing different starting locations to add more variety. However, as i mentioned before i have to keep this game realistically grounded. At this point, with the story still in its early stages, I'm uncertain if introducing a different starting location would be worth it. This decision might change as the game progresses, but for now, the answer is no.


5. Will SS:ME be multiple books?

Currently, the series is envisioned as two books. Additionally, there's the possibility of pursuing another interesting project I have in mind once I complete the first book for this game.


6. How many major evolutions(species to species) can we expect?

For book one, the plan is around 4-5. However, this number isn't fixed and might evolve during the later stages of development.

These are the submitted questions. I once again thank everyone for participating, and have a wonderful holiday.

Author Q&A

Greetings, everyone! I hope this month has treated you well.

Exciting news—this marks my first Q&A session! Feel free to ask anything about the game, and I'll strive to provide the best answers. You have a 24-hour window to submit questions, whether on Patreon, Tumblr asks (with the tag #authorask), or Discord. After the 24-hours peroid has passed, i will not answer anymore submitted questions.

The answers to your questions will be posted within 2 days.

I'm eager to discover what's on your minds, and I appreciate your ongoing support. Thank you!

About the prologue

Greetings, everyone! I hope your day is going well.

I've been contemplating the current state of the prologue and am curious to hear your thoughts. To make things easier, I've created a poll to gather your opinions. Feel free to share your feedback!

December update

Hello everyone, today is the day.  A new update has dropped, adding +18k words.

Disclaimer: this update is very violent, so be advised.  

If you have any feedback please contact me directly, or here, since this is the 10 days early access for the Diamond horns, to avoid spoilers. 

Once again thank you for your continued support, and without further ado, here's the demo link (Please do not share, without my permission).

Super System: Monster Evolution (dashingdon.com)

Which race would you like to see the more of in the game?

Following a discussion with a Patreon user yesterday regarding elves, I became curious about which of the mainstream fantasy races you prefer the most and would like to see predominantly featured in the game.

Progress Update #3

Greetings, everyone! I trust you're having a fine day.

In the past week, I've dedicated most of my time to refining the existing content i wrote—addressing grammar, making additions or deletions, and more. Despite these revisions, I successfully managed to produce around 4,000 words, progressing the narrative beyond the confines of the cave. 

My current goal is to release the update on sunday, and I'm optimistic that everything will proceed smoothly. Until then, I wish you all another fantastic week and i express my heartfelt gratitude for your ongoing support.

Sneak Peeks #1

Progress update #2

Hello everyone, I hope your day is going well. The past week has been quite busy with exams, my driver's license test, and launching Patreon, making it overwhelming, to say the least. Nevertheless, I've remained quite productive, writing approximately 10 thousand words this past week. I anticipate releasing the next update for the Diamond Horn tier at the latest on the 15th of December. Until then, thank you immensely for your continued support, and I wish you a wonderful week ahead.

The poll is officially over, meet the new starting species.

Named the Purple (Black) Fuzz Silkweavers (the color will change based on the player's input).

After an intense 8-day voting period, you have cast your votes and selected the new starting species, joining forces with the Lesser Salamander.

The competition was fierce between the Felines and the Arachnids, but in the end, the spiders emerged spiderious (sorry!).

Feel free to share your thoughts on this new species here or on Discord. Thank you for your participation!

Two days before the poll of the next species to be worked on ends.

Make sure to toss in your vote! At present, we're deadlocked between cats and spiders, though the arachnids are weaving their way into the lead.

If you haven't voiced your preference, the poll remains open for two more days. Once more, lets the strongest species reign supreme!

What do you like the most out of the game so far?

Greetings, everyone! What aspects of the game do you like the most thus far, and what elements would you like to witness more of as the narrative unfolds?

Progress update

What's on the horizon for the next stage of the game?

In the upcoming update, I'm aiming to achieve three main objectives:

1. Complete the entire starting location for our salamander protagonist, ready to thrust them into the expansive world.
2. Finalize the Klaus side story, offering insights into his perspective during the prologue encounter and its aftermath.
3. Commence work on the next starting species (currently, cats seem to be taking the lead in the race).

Sneak peeks will be dropping soon, and I'm gearing up for my inaugural Patreon Q&A, promising to be filled with juicy details and some spoilers.

Important notes: Please check out discord and the special channels i set up in the server, if you want to further claim your perks, starting with your own unique role.

Once again, thank you for your continued support, and I wish you a fantastic day.

Klaus side story

I'll be working on a Klaus side story, delving into his perspective during the encounter with the MC in the prologue and the ensuing aftermath. This will be released next month, exclusively accessible to patrons in the Golden Claw tier and above.

If you have any thoughts and ideas about Klaus and who might he be, then i'll love to hear about them. Thank you, and may you have a wonderful day.

Next starting species to be worked on.

I've combed through all the communities where I've shared the demo, diligently noting and gathering feedback on various species that could enhance your experience. Now, it's decision time. Cast your vote for the species you'd most like to see added next. Let the most favored species prevail!
