Fallen Hero: Revelations new demo (Patreon)
Content
The new demo for Fallen Hero: Revelations is now public.
Length: The length of the demo is 180 700 words with code and 155 850 without code.
An average playthrough is around 32 100 words, varying between 28 000 and 35 000 depending on path and choices. Some of the shorter paths will have more content later, but this is the nature of a demo. I need cutoff points.
Paths: This follows three puppetstuck paths where you either were arrestedat the end of Retribution (with or without functioning legs), or broke your legs and was rescued by Mortum. It also includes the path where Mortum betrayed and sedated you in your own body.
This demo will be updated and extended, and more and more paths will be folded into it as I work. It will also recieve bug/grammar/content update as we go.
Future demo plans: The hardest part is done. I have worked on the paths that I have had, because they are the ones where I have had to plan and develop the most content for to make sure they fit together. These have also been the more stressful paths, which has been fitting considering my mood. I have been saving the Innocent Sidestep paths as a future treat, because writing those will be a delight as they contain a lot of dialogue and not very many plot-related problems to solve. We are getting to those now, with the latest good news my mood is up so I can relax and focus on the nice things in life. Maybe even write some romance!
Future project: Work is ongoing on what I am tentatively calling a Los Diablos sourcebook, written by a fellow author and long-time collaborator of mine, CJ Håkansson. It will be based around a series of articles by Mia Ochoa, detailing various parts of Los Diablos, and its life and culture. Think a bit Hunter S. Thompson, gonzo journalism vibes. I am still unsure exactly how to publish it, with the current uncertainty about tariffs, de-minimis exceptions, postage and printing all my previous plans are out the window. So we will see once it gets closer to finished. I will start to share wip parts on here once they have reached a stage where I am happy with it.
Personal news: My mother's bloodwork and CAT scan came back fine! It looks like they managed to get all the cancer, no need for further chemotherapy at the moment. She is still healing very slowly (she is old, and the operation was massive (HIPEC)) but that is very god news! I can't begin to describe how much that has been weighing on me, especially in combination with other people irl having a less than great time in their lives.
