Unity Morningstar: Book of the Fallen [v0.5.6g] [Droid Productions]

[Daemoniac]

A story about a dweeb sitting in front of a computer in a fantasy setting could also work, you just need to find the right story to tell and how to tell it. That's kind of the beauty of storytelling : you can do whatever you want with it. Weak men, powerful men, dumb men, smart men... The more stories told the better whetherI like them or not.

The other guy was wrong on the historical aspect of things, but that doesn't mean "powerful warriors and heroes" should be the only type of stories told.

Also I'm pretty sure that "Omega" comes last in the greek alphabet.

Well even in AVN stories there are some "nerds who gets many girls during story" (Since we are on site tht is kinda dedicated to this type of content )


One other used trope is "College newcomer" of course

And yes Alpha and Omega ... Zeta is very close to Alpha actually

Why are heroes of many games, or literature from beginning of literacy, warriors? Strong fighters or even superheroes and that kind of powerful males (for sake of this)?

That is real mystery!

Think about it and when you have some idea, please share with us.

Here, have some literature where you can find some information.


Beowulf
The Poem of the Cid
Song of Roland
You can even find Arthurian legends here, surprise, right?
The Song of the Niebelungs

Maybe something newer?

Robert E. Howard - Barbar Conan
J.R.R. Tolkien - (probably better seen in Silmarilion)
C. S. Lewis - Narnia

And yes not every protagonsist of those books was swimming in pussy, some of those were more "one true love"
But you can look into mythologies why powerful males attracted ladies. Not necessarily consensual, but still

You forgot Captain Kirk.

You forgot Captain Kirk.

I do not think I want to include him in my list

 

[Dr.TSoni]

You forgot Captain Kirk.

What a chad

 

[LadySmoks]

I do not think I want to include him in my list

Are you joking? The guy had an intergalactic space harem!



But only one true love... The Enterprise!!!

I'm actually more curious why there's so many Shotakun 14-year-old college-dropout sleep-rapist games. I blame Big Brother and Summertime Saga for popularizing them. Anyway, that was what pretty much every game was back when I started making Love of Magic, and so I explicitly wanted a character that was more masculine, honorable (yet still a bit of a perv), and didn't need to resort to drugs or hypnosis to get laid.

yeah, there's no shortage of games for the type of people who think showering is an unfair cheat-code to women not running away. I have no idea where the "MC is too op" comes from though, the game opens with him talking about being at the bottom of the supernatural scale and anyone with real strength could crush him without noticing it. And is making a comeback from losing a fight so badly it left him in the hospital for weeks.

I suspect he's never played the game and never will; he's comparing it to other games (that he may or may not have played).

Part of the issue is that he looks at an Adult Game and assumes that it's just a Porn Game, and so the only goal of the story is getting laid. Assuming you have the

, that should be easy; i.e. player is OP.

Adult games aren't necessarily about getting laid, though (unlike Fap Games, where there's no point to anything unless it leads to someone stuck in the washing machine). Sure there's porn IN them, but there's also a story about something else. MC in LoM and MS starts out quite lowly in the hierarchy of the world, and gradually climbs it; not just to get laid, but to help save the world.

So; by no means am I saying that the Heroes Journey is the only story WORTH telling, or that every hero should be the macho warrior archetype. It's just the stories I enjoy writing tend towards Epic (fantasy/urban fantasy and next up Sci-Fi), and heroes kinda belong there.

Will there be more "books" to follow BotF? Or do you just have too many balls in the air right now to think about that? I get the feeling that, like LoM, there'll be more content for BotF. There are so many options with the characters to still be discovered and others that are ripe for padding out. Hence why I ask if there are more books in the pipeline.

No, only 1 book planned for Morningstar. The endings are all kinda final, and it would be hard to weave them back together (Especially Path of Shadows, which takes place 10 years into the future). I do like the *world*, mind you; I could totally see myself writing another story set in the world of Morningstar, sometime in the future.

Next up I'm working on LoM Book 2 NG+ and Wings of Empire; will be fun to spend some time looking at Science Fiction instead of Urban Fantasy.

You would have been correct had I been referencing the Greek alphabet. Which I wasn't.

So, briefly, in the original Latin, A was called Alpha or "first letter" and the last letter was called Zeta or Zet. There ya go, m8. Consider yourself educated.

his name is even butterbean? that's just perfect. Peak performance includes bringing your own padded body armor to the ring.
