Not rewritten per say, but we're back tracking a bit! After the new content is posted (so probably after 2 more updates) we'll be returning to the original outline.
No problem! The struggle is real and getting the ball rolling is the hardest part! I wanted to try making VN myself, but I was scared of all the coding and Twine is much friendly alternative for someone who's completely new to the programming/coding scene.
Good luck! I'm here if you need me. Just take everything one step at a time <3
Ps. I think I am plenty evil...we just haven't gotten there yet :)
Hi thanks so much for the kind words. Before I go into talking about resources, I'll kindly confirm that your brothers are NOT romantic options (LOL) everyone else is far game :)
I understand how daunting it starting up. I'm self taught and very much a beginner in twine and coding, but I'll do my best!
Now for Twine resources, it does depend on which story format you wish to work with. Twine has about 5 different formats to choose from: Harlowe (the default), Sugarcube (which TSR runs on), Snowman, and Chapbook. Each format has it's advantages and disadvantages, but I personally use Sugarcube because my favourite IFs use it (haha) and it's has quite a few resources online. I cant speak for the other formats because I don't use them. But Chapel has an amazing breakdown on everything for twine and makes great plugin/macros for authors.
If you haven't created an account already, I do recommend creating a tumblr. Tumblr has a very large and supportive community over there with a lot of authors provided their own coding knowledge and resources to help out those just starting out. You'll be able to promote the game/story even before you're able to release it, so it's great for building a community as well. If you do decide on working in Sugarcube, I'll be more than happy to help out. You can always ask me a question over on Tumblr, where I am most active or you can toss me your discord on tumblr if you want something more private.
The hardest part is starting out, but anyone can do it!!! I am more of a visual artist before I am a writer or a coder, so it can be done!
You said didn't want to play a game with disgusting morals. I am reaffirming that belief. I'm informing you (and other people who may come across your comment) that the optional hidden romance with your cousin, is in fact one of the more moral aspect (as it is morally questionable, but politically astute) of the story. If that makes you uncomfortable, then everything else in the content warning will probably make things worse. Because they are in fact, much worse.
This is game, at it's core, is a political drama about solving a succession dispute between cousins. Those familiar with the political fantasy drama genre (or GOT/ASOIAF in general) will know what sometimes happens when there is a need/want to consolidate the line succession in noble families with cousins.
This game is dark and Eirk's Route are for the sick bitches like me who don't mind exploring the more taboo/unconventional aspects of game scenario. And for those who don't want to engage with it, there are the other conventional/wholesome romantic interests for them to pursue. (Thea and Finn are a good place to start!)
It's not for you and that's okay. The IFs genre is very large and there are probably other games that can scratch the same itch for you.
This game will be free all the way until the game is finished. Then i'll have a demo available for the first handful chapters and the full game for sale (with a few extra things thrown inside) but that's something for the far off future. <3
If you were playing on mobile, the menu buttons were cut off and inaccessible (lmaooo) but it's been fixed now! You can access it with the arrow icon in the header.
It's gonna be a messed up and wild ride. Thanks so much for playing~
