Been a busy week working on game barks and dialogue.  It's really tricky writing dialogue when you don't know which characters might be in a conversation.  More over, because our non controlled npc's are independent, they might not even be AT the conversation.  Alkyone might be more interested in getting drunk than talking to this fighting pit boss.  Cause that's just who she is.  But you might be on Alkyone, controlling her and making her talk to the pit boss, so I have to have a conversation take that into account.

But I was able to get some Delver's done.  It's safe for work product, so I can write it at school without getting worried about an IT flagging me for working on something inapproprite.  Monitoring technology.  Yaaaaay....

Anyway, thanks again for your support.  I hope to have a start to homelands to share next weekend.  Take care.  If you're one of my friends in Ukraine or Russia, stay safe!

The last week has been an emotional rollercoaster for me. It’s frustrating to read about people two countries away dying but being unable to do anything about it. I know this make me a hypocrite because there always have been wars all across the world but this one is so much closer to where I live. Okay now I REALLY want to learn more about how the party system in this game works. I was under the impression that you control a main character with the rest of the party members tagging along. But now you mentioned that the main character may not actually partake in a boss fight. Does that mean any of the group members could theoretically be the main character for most of the story? If so, can you play as Boo? XD Another thing I realized just now is that Alkyone’s birth name probably wasn’t Alkyone. At least if the game wants to stick as closely as possible to the fic that inspired it. I wonder what embarrassing name her mother gave her in this universe. Dark Delver’s stuff: Okay I don’t know how I managed to miss it, but I really thought Pike brought an arm- and legless Broken into the dungeon. I didn’t realize that the crystal Taloni gambled away wasn’t mandatory for the prostheses to work and that Broken still got them. So instead of allowing a woman with mental issues and no limbs to accompany them into a dungeon he only allowed women with mental issues to accompany them into a dungeon. That’s slightly more reasonable. XD I loved how confused Broken is about how things work in this setting. It’s a bit like teleporting a character from a “grounded” Fantasy setting like LOTR or GoT into WoW. So Felin’s are cat girls (and guys) who walked around naked all the time? It’s really tempting to make a furry joke right now. I guess feline warriors who wear armor for protection are a rare thing. There also seems to be some bias against them, at least if the first chapter is any indication. Then again It could just be that people in Pike’s village don’t like them. The Adventure’s Guild doesn’t seem to have a problem with them, but adventurers are an odd bunch in general and more interested if someone can carry their weight in battle than what species they are. Wow, someone hired a bunch of adventurers to act as bullies, spread bad rumors about Pike and beat him up. Not even to kill him, just to make his life as adventurer as miserable as possible. That’s not evil that’s just being petty. Assuming whoever is behind this is someone we have met before the most likely candidates to me would be the magistrate from Pike’s hometown (still angry that Pike “got away” without punishment), Aben (he seems nicer now but that could be an act and maybe he’s blaming Pike for losing his arm) or that girl that tried to recruit Taloni (hoping to make her join her group by utterly running Pike’s reputation).
