FAQ IS UP! An important question/game launch schedule!! tl;dr we are very close to being ready to open but retail hell is also coming, how does everyone feel about 2 months of open meme-style sidequesting?
also hello if you stumbled on this and wanna know what it's about there's an interest check/FAQ here and a navigation page here! There are still a couple pages that aren't done yet but it is mostly complete, welcome to my self indulgent game
Anyway-- on one hand, seems like a bad idea to open right before most people (including myself h-haha) are gonna be at their most busy. On the other hand, I really don't wanna delay the game for a whole extra 2 months when it's already been delayed enough.
So! Compromise!! I was thinking we could have some open "TDMs" across those two months and introduce a side-scenario before everyone ends up in the main city hub. These would be open to everyone, not necessarily invited folks only, and it would have light plot stuff to bite into and connect it to the main scenario.
It would also serve as a good testrun of the current quest structure to see if it needs more tweaking (btw, the quest page is finally up here if you want a peek). Quests are gonna be the main way of dispensing easy-access plot hooks so I wanna make sure it all makes sense and runs smoothly.
The pre-game sidequest would likely take place somewhere in the Demon Realm. Where? idk where do people wanna go, burnt wasteland hellscape? frozen tundra hellscape? bottom of the ocean but you can breathe somehow? disneyland?????
There will be power nerfing to spice things up (there will not be power nerfing in the main game, this is a unique feature of the demon realm), the tone may also lean a little more towards horror/survival than the main game will... it's the demon realm, it's just like this.
ANYWAY THOSE ARE MY THOUGHTS i would love to hear how people feel about the idea, if ppl have any preferences re: where we should take the sidequesting.
also if ppl want a vague idea of whats in the demon realm theres some short descriptions on the map page but i can elaborate if anything piques ppl's interest
personally im leaning disneyland because hello the dream demons are fun and cute and you can ride a rollercoaster and checks notes undergo a demonic ritual to turn you into demon so you can stay forever and ever and ever if they decide they want to keep you
im also in retail hell so im a little embarrassed i forgot about this 8V but i think with my current help it should be p easily doable, taking out all the list upkeep would make it a lot easier to focus on the fun parts too
in the meantime here are some fun pictures i had to spend an ungodly amount of hours carefully screencapping you have no IDEA how hard it is to make the monsters pose nicely
