Thank you! I'm slowly chipping away at chapter two and hopefully I will have more to share soon.

I'm glad you are enjoying the story so far! I should have a new update at the end of Jan. You will get some more insight into the world and soulforge warriors.

As for what you have said here, you have a good eye for detail! Really picking up on those clues.

Thank you! That is high praise and I hope I can keep being deserving of it. I will release the first half of Chapter Two at the end of January.

Thank you!

I appreciate the enthusiasm lol. Also thank you! I am working hard to make sure the update is at least 20k words.

Thank you! I will work hard to bring chapter two in january.

I am making preparations to create a discord server for the game. Will look for betas for future chapters in that later in the month. Definitely consider joining! Thank you

But you did put yourself on Sergeant Bedi's watchlist so congratulations, new content unlocked!

I had a lot of my current chapters already prepared and just needed polishing. From chapter 2 onwards it will be slower but I am still aiming for 20k updates a month if I can manage it.

Thank you for the kind words!

Thank you!

Thank you! Mass effect is one of my favourite game franchises ever, also dragon age, so I was inspired by it.  I'm a beginner to coding so not sure how to code it but I would love to add something like that for the names!

I'm happy that you are enjoying the story and I'll try not to burn myself out.

Yes, I am not sure how many broken variables there are but I do know all the backgrounds have been infected. I was making preparations for chapter two and noticed that some variables were missing so in order for things to trigger properly I will need to redo it.

I want you to know that your comment made me giggle, thank you! Also Spencer is considered a secret RO/partial RO because they will not always be available like the main six.

You will meet Spencer later in the game and can try romance even if not on the orphan background. However, what you decide to do in the will greatly shift things so anything is possible.

.... also I just realised that I forgot to mention that ROs can die in the game. I should probably make a post.

Thank you for your lovely comment and I'm glad you like the UI!

It is definitely going to be very interesting. This path in particular is going to showcase the nuance I am trying to have in my story and world-building. I don't want things to just be taken at face value.

I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying the game so far. I'm working hard to finish the orphan background so chapter one is fully complete. I'll post an update when I'm closer to completing it so people know when to expect it.

If you want to see the other side to that, you'll be able to in the 'choose to leave' branch. I'm still writing and coding that but I'll make a post as soon as I am ready to post it! Also no worries, you explained it perfectly.

Thank you, that means so much.

Thank you, this honestly made me so happy! Nothing makes me happier than people wanting to do more than one playthrough.

I highly recommend trying every background (it reason I made more save slots) and seeing what each route offers. Every background will have different information about the world and insight into what is to come later in the game.

That is high praise, thank you! Perhaps it is because there is a mix of fantasy in the sci-fi? I can't claim that I am fully sci-fi.

You will get your answer, somewhat, in chapter two. I will say this much though, you are very warm with your theory. 

The ship is a normal naval warship out in the ocean. The setting of the story is in Azish (name of the planet) and you are in Voxis, capital city of Strize (country you live in). No intergalatic traveling sadly.

The technology level is high but only in regards to military development. Humanity has focused all their energy into trying to defeat the exilliums that the huge leaps in advancements were centred around that and doesn't really expand to other areas.

So there are flying cars, hoverboards, nanobots, AI assistants etc but they are very much for those in the military mostly. In the wastelander background they live very low tech lives and orphan it a mixed bag.

Thanks to you and other lovely people I think I've ironed out the majority of the bugs.

The military background more popular than I thought it would be, I'm happy!

No problem at all! I'm glad you enjoying the game enough to ask.

The stats will dictate the flavour text and scenarios you can unlock. So, because you hard focused tactician people will acknowledge you for your use of tactics and gadgets. You have some skill with combat, everyone does in the military to a degree, but people will plan around and account for your highest skill.

You will be able to enter into combat scenarios but the outcome will change drastically if you have a low level in it.  So to answer your question, you are considered average at combat and you aren't locked out of most situations, just a likely more hilarious outcome will happen if you use your lowest skill to check.

No, in fact, you will rise to power faster than anyone else in your family. The Soulforge are treated almost reverently and concessions are always made for them. If you accomplish a lot and asked for a post on a ship and expressed your desire to become an admiral the military would be ecstatic. 

Thank you, I have found the mistakes and fixed it now. Theo's profile will now appear as intended and the field box should appear.

Phew, I am relieved. I thought I managed to break the game. Enjoy!

Hey, I uploaded a new file and that should take you right to the start now. I think it started too far in because of my testing. Please let me know if it works now for you!

Spencer is a special third option. Just know you have not seen the last of them by any means.

Thank you, this actually saved me because my military background has broken stats everywhere. Will give the file a sweep and make sure I am not missing anything else.

Found and fixed! Will update with fixed file soon.

Thank you! I fixed it and reuploaded. You should be able to play without that error occurring. Thanks for reporting the problem so quickly.

I happily await your reaction.

Yes, in chapter one you will begin to customise your character. So a lot of the current placeholders will be replaced with your actual information.

I have good and bad news. I release chapter one next week, 30th of November, so you won't have to wait long.

The bad news? The way the chapter ends will likely leave people screaming in my comments.

Next week you will get your wish.

Thank you! I am looking at an end of November release date for chapter one. I am almost done with the chapter.

Well clearly I need to put an option for there to be a street fight now

Thank you!

Thank you! Comments like these really help keep me motivated.
