Rogue Rambles

It's been a while, huh?

A lot has happened since I last posted on Tumblr. I scrapped the majority of Book 2, and essentially rewrote the entire game from scratch. The project as it stands today is one I'm more confident about, and writing it has been a much smoother experience than the original. The current public demo stands at 586k words altogether, and covers events until well into Chapter 11, which will be Book 2's penultimate chapter.

If you've read the old demo, there will be a lot of familiar story beats--for example, we'll still be visiting locales such as Reglaire, Aulain, and Yotai, all of which are present in the old demo. However, the prose within these sections will have received a considerable overhaul, if not rewritten entirely.

The game also now spends plenty of time in Thulrum (as in the city itself, rather than the skycity of Arcadia), with the hope of making this new base of the mage's feel more lived-in, and give more concrete stakes to the choice between Param and Arcadia.

It's that time of year again, you naughty number-loving nerds.

Whether you chose violence or call it an accident, these NPCs found their demise in your playthroughs.

Not sure what Volo did to you all to deserve this.

More non-Dark Urge players also managed to murder Alfira than Dark Urge players. Spawn of Bhaal or not, maybe it’s time to stop pointing fingers.

Some of you faced the Absolute with the most powerful weapons, others decided to bring a charcuterie board to a fight with a giant brain.

Speaking of weapons, you’ve been very skilled at finding the rarer ones in the game. Shout out to the folk who willingly wielded the rusty Poo-Scraper in Act 3.

For some of you, the strategy has been getting the entire party pissed before entering combat. Bottoms up for Drunken Master Monks, we suspect you are partially to blame for these.

Kinda weird, but not judging.
