RE: The Watchwood

It’s official! I’m writing The Watchwood again (finally, I know it’s been a year). Thanks for being patient, y’all.

For those who missed it, I put Watchwood on the back burner because of, well. Y’know. Everything that happened like right after we released the first demo build. The Watchwood is a story that deals really heavily with trauma and recovery, and I just could not write scenes that were intended to be traumatic for characters, or scenes that were intended to refer to characters’ past trauma, while living through a new global traumatic event.

Obviously the pandemic isn’t over yet, but things are looking up- at least in my corner of the world- so here I am, picking it back up. Can’t promise a when, but we’ll be getting a new demo build out in the nebulous near future.

MORE IMPORTANTLY

There are a few changes being made! Namely, we’re switching to Twine. This was a big decision and we aren’t going to get into the whys of it, but it is ultimately the best option for us.

Secondly, the ROs will no longer be gender-variable. I’ve realized in writing them that I have very specific thoughts and feelings about gender identities and gender presentations that I want to write through each of them, and while it would be possible to write that in if they’re gender variable, it would be much, much harder to orchestrate ways to actually have those thoughts and feelings be part of the text of the game!

I want the ROs to feel like real, fully-fleshed people, and I’m going to be much better able to do that with their genders locked in place.

So instead of S, B, and V, your romance options are now

Salomón de la Puerta (he/him), the spacey and kind of airheaded fortune teller who operates Greyvale’s metaphys supply shop.

Bridget Schmidt (she/her), a determined and friendly painter who runs Greyvale’s gas station & convenience store.

Vi Dearborn (they/them), a curious and clever writer who has, after a fashion, taken up residence at the local bakery.

Looking forward to getting a new demo build out to y’all soon. <3

MEET THE CAST

There are up to eight romances to choose from in In The Ocean of Stars, all of which are part of the crew of the Cheyenne. This story will feature sexually explicit scenes, with the option to have a more asexual route/non-explicit scenes if you so wish.

Most of if not ALL of these romance routes will be a bit of a slowburn. This story is a work in progress, and I expect it to be incredibly wrong by the time it is done. 

But enough pomp and circumstance! Let’s get to it-

this is gonna sound stupid but i’m amazed at baby capybaras bc they really truly are baby capybaras. there r so many animals you guys. so many where the babies look like tiny primordial creatures compared to the mature ones but baby capybaras r just little capybaras. they just start out like that. you know what i mean

I found this at my Barnes and Noble. I feel like this accurately describes your writings.

That made me smile on a cold, rainy day.

Leo my love...

I do distinctly remember you, back in the day, answering some asks about if the RO's appearance will change too during the series, with your answer being yes.

My question is if this plan has changed ? Hopefully not.

And if not, would you be willing to share with us what kind of changes you have planned for our dear RO's ?

Oh yeah, that hasn't changed haha, depending on the path the ROs will change appearance, powers, and in some cases shift personality a little. I have plans to execute a time skip of sorts, where you'll be reintroduced to the ROs as their evolutions.

For the sake of spoilers, I won't really go too in-depth on my plans for everything, but I can talk a bit about the general design concept of each ROs path that I want to take with them since it's probably a long way until that point anyway haha.

----------------

Good Influence E: They remain relatively unchanged, doubling down on their more heroic nature to protect people. Their power focuses on speed, so their hairstyle becomes more windswept in the process. Wears casual top and shorts.

Bad Influence E: They're much more jaded and wear a greyscale zip-up hoodie and jeans (stubble if they're male). They focus on the destructive nature of their power to rid the world of evil. Unlike their counterpart, they mostly walk and aren't in a big hurry, casually deleting whoever gets in their way.

-----------------

Rebellion R: They have a robin hood mentality, using their elevated luck to pull off heists gentleman-thief style, calling card and all. To fit, they wear a simplistic gold masquerade mask and business casual.

Reclamation R: Based on a mafia motif with a gold-lined suit and tie and trilby hat. Their eyes also glow gold in this pathway from the general use of his power to cause misfortune to others.

-----------------

Peace L: They have a fortune teller motif with slight gypsy inspiration, wearing more robe/yukata style clothing. They learn how to focus their premonition and see further and clearer into the future.

Resolve L: They've evolved to have more Hospian shinobi attire, and their power has evolved into very in-depth clairvoyance of the immediate area.

-----------------

Soldier V: They've specialized into a Sniper utilizing a long-range bolt-action rifle and wearing a tactical vest and shemagh. Their hair has turned from silver to stark white. They utilize their power to create smokescreen and artillery.

Civilian V: They've learned how to fly a refurbished Spitfire plane from the pre-collapse era and can materialize one at will, though they've lost most of their arsenal doing so. They wear a loosely decorated bomber jacket, silver scarf, and have styled/pinned their hair.

----------------

Cooperation P: has a thin red jacket and fireproof bandages covering burn marks on their hands and partway up their arms. Their power has evolved to carry them on burning wings and used in tandem with their spear.

Competition P: Has fireproof bandages covering the majority of their burn-marked body and replacing their upper clothing. Most of their skin has developed a reddish tint and their hair has an ember glow when they use their power without regulation.

---------------

Masochism M: They have a slight reaper motif. Their skin is spotted with hints of frost and their breath has a constant mist. They use their power against the blade of their spear to create a scythe and drastically drop the temperature of the immediate area. Their hair now has subtle white highlights.

Alternate M: They use their power to summon spears of ice and have more of an ice-mage motif. Their hair has more broad strokes of white and blue frost. They have a constant need to wear gloves and an arctic coat.

--------------

Insanity Raven: They wear an open black cloak/long coat that shows black markings etched into the side of their abdomen and snaking up to their neck made by the overuse of their power. Their hair is longer and they've developed a subtle red glint in their eyes whenever they use their power to steal people into a pocket dimension and condemn them to their fate.

Therapy Raven: They wear moderate dress wear and a blank mask that covers their entire face. They use their power as more of unlimited storage space for items and teleportation platforms than their counterpart. They're generally a lot more cleaned up in appearance on this path.

--------------

Speed demon S: They wear a leather riding jacket decorated with numerous colorful patches, a checkered scarf, and their token riding goggles. They use their power in tandem with Sandrider to create extremely fast dust devils and sand storms to boost their speed.

Troublemaker S: They wear cargo jeans and dusted tank top along with a dark bandana they use to cover their face and neck. Their hair has subtle red and yellow highlights. They use their power to cause persistent sandstorms and locus swarms while keeping a small arsenal of Molotov's and spray paint on hand.

--------------

Royal F: They've obtained a stylish crown and generally dress lavishly in expensive silken black/dark green suits/dresses with floral motifs etched into them. Their power is used to create debilitating toxins and poisons, utilizing the worst of nature for their purposes.

Commoner F: They specialized their archery, and wear a simplistic hemp tunic and archer's cowl interwoven with leaves for camouflage. Their hair is grown out and undone, dotted with the occasional flower or twig. They use their power to create a forest hunting ground along a wide area.

--------------

As a little bonus, I'll say there's two additional protagonist characters that have yet to be introduced that are also applicable to this time skip change.

One is a Hospian sword user with a samurai motif that has wind-based powers.

The other is a Vestian assassin with a jumping spider motif that uses garrote-like threads

--------------

Hopefully that helps to give you a little idea of what direction I'm going with these characters! I try to make the evolutions as interesting as possible while still sticking with the general foundation of the character. Some of these evolutions may not really make sense, but keep in mind there's a lot of in between stuff I have planned to make these changes a much more subtle and natural thing haha.

I'm a little confused but what are the three timelines?

A good question- it can seem a bit confusing at first, and my wording often does not help things.

Anyways, Event Horizon is one main overarching story, about the crew of a spaceship and their mission. The general events of the story, and all major choices are going to happen, regardless of timeline. 

So that brings up the question of just what the three timelines are. Essentially, there are two points of “divergence” where your choices will have a significant outcome on how the story is conducted. Certain options at these divergence points have an irreversible effect, and thus, change the timeline.

The points of divergence are in remembering your identity and upon meeting the captain for the first time. 

Timeline 1 is the “normal” timeline, and involves your character remembering who they are, and being non-aggressive to the captain. Over time, you become more and more aware of some of the underlying plots and the issues they cause, but your interaction with them is less direct.

 This is how the game is pretty much meant to be played, and how I recommend your first playthrough to go.

Timeline 2 is the “Anomaly” timeline, and involves your character remembering who they are, and being aggressive towards the captain. A bad decision on both parties end.You might have survived the encounter, but the fabric of reality ripples around you, and there’s glimpses of what is to come. There’s something... else... going on here. And now you’re caught up in it.

This serves as kind of a happy medium between Timelines 1 and 3, incorporating some of the more surreal elements of Timeline 3 with the general flow of Timeline 1.

Timeline 3 is the “Amnesiac” timeline, and involves your character not knowing their identity. Reality is shattered around you, as matter and time bend to your will. The past lives in you as readily as the present. You know the captain. You know the first officer. You know what happened- and what’s going to happen. You cannot change or recall your past, but you can irrevocably change the future.

This is pretty much a break from reality in every way. Voices in your head, brutal flashbacks, complicated relationships with your former comrades and reality itself, playing god, mysterious powers, and a lot of fire. If you wanted to get really, really, really uptight about how the worldbuilding sets up the events of Event Horizon, this should be simultaneously the most and least canon sequence of events.

What are the different hybrids you can be and what does that mean for you?

Anonymous asked:

What are the different types of faeries and what are they like?

Funnily enough, I think that this post from another one of your asks sums up the power previews pretty well!

But for any newcomers, here’s the low-down on the faere names and their general presence versus the others. But remember: Playing as a hybrid of a certain faere type doesn’t mean you have to abide by these generalizations, but some are better at certain tactics and play-styles than others!

Outside of their usual duties, they serve as the executioners.

I think I have some fluffy unsettling feelings that shouldn't be there for such a character, but slices of affection to us as a child? Plz- what is wrong with me and my mommy issues 😩 she fricking killed us just below this post i-

And, uh, sorry for barging with one more so soon, - I'm really intrigued for Scenario's 55 for The Queen and child!MC? :) It can be fluff with foreshadowing power dynamic (mc is tiny even for their age, let's say)

👀

Scenario, 55. Comparing hand sizes, then linking fingers together.

You're eight summers old when you're in The Queen's study. Sitting on the lush couch off to the side as she writes things you're not sure you understand.

You watch her as she scribbles with her quill. Her face shows no emotion, her hand quick at work.

"Mom," you squeak at her, your eyes watching as she stills.

She looks up at you, a smile blossoming over her face. "What is it dear?" she gently asks, placing her quill down on her desk.

"I'm bored." you pout, poking your bottom lip. You see her hide a snicker behind her hand. "Come here then," she waves you over, patting her knee. "Come sit in my lap."

You smile, quickly making your way over to her. Wobbling a little to the side as you rush to take place on her lap. She lifts you up, her hands cold under your arms as she settles you on her knee. "Better?" she asks you, her eyes shining.

You nod your head, eyeing the paper she was working on. You go to touch it, but she quickly grabs your hand, flipping it over so your palms are touching.

"Look at how tiny you are," she stage-whispers, looking at your hands. You stare at them too, seeing how yours is smaller than hers by a lot. Your fingers not even reaching hers yet. "You're just big," you laugh.

She laughs too, interlacing your fingers together; holding your hand tightly. "I am big, aren't I?" she bumps her shoulder into yours. "Remember, child, I will always be bigger, understand? No matter how old you may get, how tall you grow: I will always be the one by your side."

She squeezes your hand as she talks, and you wince at the pain. "Make sure to wear soft gloves, okay? Don't want you to freeze to death." She lets go of your hand, patting you on the head once before going back to work.

The next day, you wear gloves.

Thank you!!

Thank you, Lu, I'll punch myself now for making me cry. WTF I WAS THINKING ASKING THAT QUESTION.

The angst- the pain- IT'S SO SCRUMPTIOUS, WONDERFUL, AMAZING. I'm a mess

C-can we have an angsty time? 😿 What if MC is soon to be ceased and in their last moment they confess their love, barely able to touch RO, as their form just sizzling away in, well, nothing. MC kisses RO for the first and last time and disappears right before the eyes without interrupting eye contact

A: As if losing you once wasn't painful enough, now they had to experience that pain again. And this time, it would be forever, with no return. They tried to reach out to you, feel your touch for the last time...but it felt unreal. You were disappearing into millions of nothing and when they tried to say something, anything, you interrupted them. "I love you" the words are bittersweet, they wanted you to return that feeling, but now it just felt like another fuel for the pain. And when you kissed them, for the first and last time, they welcomed the pain as a gift.

S: They can't survive this again. They've seen you leave more times than bearable...but there was always a way, this time however, things were different. You would never return to them. And if you weren't coming back, they didn't have to stay here. They try to get as close to you as possible, feeling your aura, your energy...."I love you." You say as they make their own confession, that's not a real surprise but they can't help but be amazed at how comforting it is. Their kiss tastes like tears, but they don't care, these aren't just tears of sadness.

Bo: She should be the one to be comforting you. But instead, she's the one being comforted, feeling what's left of you hugging her as you say everything will be okay. "Please, please don't go." She begs you, she has never begged for anything before, not even for life itself. But there's nothing you can do and she knows it..."I love you." You say as she tries to hold on to you even more, futilely, you lean over and kiss her briefly before fading away. And even later when you can no longer hear, she keeps begging for you. 

Kyle: He knew you would be the end of him. But he never imagined it would hurt so much to care about you. Seeing you disappear in front of his eyes was always his worst nightmare and it became real. So real. "Kyle" you call out to him, feeling his hands squeeze you tightly, as if they could keep you from disappearing. "I do not want to know". He cuts off roughly. "But you already know, you know I love you." He holds you tighter but you can't feel his touch anymore and he feels it, letting out an agonized sound. "I will never forgive you for making me love you." He whispers before you interrupt him with a kiss. The first and last kiss in a story that will never happen. 

🔐They don't say anything. All they do is hug you and keep from letting out any emotion. They care about you and you are dying, again and forever. There's nothing they can do to stop it, for the first time in their long existence, they're not enough. "I love you." You say suddenly, and they feel you start to fade faster and faster. "You love me too?" You ask already knowing the answer, of course. "I wish I didn't love you." They respond by looking at you with frustration and barely concealed sadness. You smile, to their dismay, and kiss them and it's what they expected it to be: Soft, sweet and loving. As you disappear, an absolute certainty grows within them. That was the first and the last time they allowed themselves to love.
