    How do I begin to handle the 2nd whisper fight

    I'm not sure why you think "you suck at this game" is in any way news to me lol

    How do I begin to handle the 2nd whisper fight

    Or to be more accurate, focus on that one and instantly die in the first turn when he tosses out 300+ damage at each of your party members. Oh, you survived to turn 2? Hope you aren't playing a mage, because now you're Silenced. And what the hell, another 300+ damage for each of you again, why...

    Pure vs Corrupt Hive

    Hence "usually", yes. More to the point, of the two blow-uppable planets I'm aware of (Tarkus and Myrellion), you're not there to blow them up, and doing so is framed as a failure state rather than a character-driven decision. You don't go to Myrellion on the premise that YOU WILL CHOOSE IF...

    Pure vs Corrupt Hive

    Other way around. Corrupting the village just leaves you with a largely empty "dungeon" space. You can now drag the Behemoth back to the Corrupt Garden, but I can't remember if that's "corrupt" exclusive. At the moment, it really might as well just cause the Centaur Village to vanish and move...

    Plans for Eryka/Corrupted Garden?

    Neat! Do you know if details of these plans are available anywhere, so I'm not treading on any toes...?

    Plans for Eryka/Corrupted Garden?

    Hi all; I don't spend much time on the forums, as my posting history should tell you, but I had in mind some expansion writing for the Corrupted Garden and/or Eryka. Giving more forest NPCs (e.g. Kurami, Evergreen, Ninian, Azzyran, Vivian) cameo appearances at the Garden and Farrah's shop, more...

    Pure vs Corrupt Hive

    Interestingly, my feelings ran in the opposite direction when I found Bimbo Azz. I wasn't especially surprised that the Corrupt Hive was a bit barren, given how relatively new that content area is. Azzyran being unavailable as a companion if corrupted also made total sense, not for reasons of...

    *RANT* Does anyone else dislike the Kitsune in this game more and more as this go on? *Spoilers*

    Yes, my guy. That's what Godwin's Law is; comparing things to Nazis. Which is what you accused me of doing, and which anyone with eyes can clearly see that I did not. Right, I tried to express my disaffection with the kitsune plot as fact, with such factual phrases as "I do dislike", "I was good...

    *RANT* Does anyone else dislike the Kitsune in this game more and more as this go on? *Spoilers*

    Honestly, the last time I interacted with the kitsune was yonks ago, and by the time I was catching up with Kinu my eyes were already half-glazed over. It's entirely likely I misremembered that detail, but doesn't affect my overall reception or the bigger structural issues with the kitsune. Not...

    *RANT* Does anyone else dislike the Kitsune in this game more and more as this go on? *Spoilers*

    Honestly, I do dislike the kitsune more and more as the game goes on, but it's less because of their attitude and more because of how bloated they are. Back when the sum total of our kitsune interaction was a lone waifu who gave us fun sex-dreams, a cute daughteru, some neat romantic...

    [Twine] [Patreon] Empire of Corruption

    Okay, so, my critiques after coming back to this: The money system is overcomplicated. 25 coppers = 1 silver, 25 silvers = 1 gold is unnecessary. What do you get out of it? What does the player get out of it? Just make up a single fantasy currency and use that, there's no reason to have a...

    [Twine] [Patreon] Empire of Corruption

    One concern I do sort of have is the signature weapon; it's a cool idea that I like, not least because it throws all the inventory-juggling I see in TiTs or CoC2 out of the window, and will presumably remove any problem of, say, needing an ice-type weapon when I've already got my character a...

    [Twine] [Patreon] Empire of Corruption

    Just tried this game out, and hoo boy is it one I'm going to keep my eye on. The writing is solid and fun, the setting is neat, and the characters are engaging. It's not content-light, but there are clearly lots of frameworks in place for stuff that's going to be fleshed out even more, and I...

    [Editors Wanted] New Verusha Scene

    If Doot's given it the okay, it's entirely up to you. I now appreciate this is meant to be set when she knows the PC a little better, but it still doesn't really sound like Verusha to me - it's missing her (otherwise fairly consistent) verbal tics, and I still don't think the stutter works...

    [Editors Wanted] New Verusha Scene

    Just to raise a specific point: Verusha's "voice" is very weird in this scene. She seemingly gets flustered, and stutters? Over some ball-licking? Really? She tells the PC to "be a dear", which is an appellation I don't think she's ever used in the game. By contrast, she never refers to the PC...
