Oh! A proof reader? Handy position to have around, a real important one too. We have a proofreader who is starting on at our team and it's already leading to a lot of nice improvements on our quality of life for readers. I actually showed Automaton to a publisher, Critical Bliss and talked to him about it and a few of our team over here at Team Dead Deer. There's a lot of potential in your project, I am really hoping to see it take off sometime!
I'd love to see a bit more news on the feed haha, I am worried that the gifs he puts up are spoilers >.>. Especially the "What?" One. I really like the idea and the direction so far. I am really curious where this story is meant to be going, atm I am assuming we eventually get embroiled in some sort of drama or conflict with the previous owner of Automaton and we end up needing to
get in between them. I assume Automaton will probably be something between a pleasure model and something else more important like information, has some sort of information, or is special in some regard. So their previous owners will want her back and you are going to be at risk for it.
That kind of story will have issues at the same time since you have a house. I think Dilmur did it really, really, really well. They deprive you of their house, which was really intelligent of
Shaso do to. They completely strip your sense of security and safety in the game away by ripping you from a comfortable map and mixing it up. I think for tension/danger plots it's really necessary to do this.
But yeah I see the makings of an intrigue plot here, just no idea how it will go atm. Could be the master turns into an antagonist too once he learns the value of automation and you need to work against them. Hrm. Not sure. I look forward to seeing it though.
