______________________________++++__________________________________________________________Uh, hello everyone. I plunged into work and did not go to the forum, and you have already buried me here.
As you correctly wrote, I decided to bite off a piece that was too much for me, and spent not only a lot of nerves, but also half of the vacation to complete the update. Plus of course my inexperience in creating games.
About the fact that making a game about DnD is a mistake, then I don't think so. I really wanted to do it, and I did it, but for a long time, yes, I had to trim about a third of what I had planned, but still.
If you don't like it, well, okay, but I'm not going to give up my ideas and dreams.
Thank you to everyone who supports and to everyone who reasonably criticizes, I ask the rest to find something else that will please you.
The update will be released tomorrow
Part of being the creator is taking risks. You're not going to please everyone regardless of the outcome. All you can do is weave those elements into your creation to the best of your ability. Personally, I can't wait to see how you adapted your D&D theme into your game. Part of me is more interested in how you do it rather than what the outcome is.
Regardless, what plots and twist you incorporate into your game, the only concern you need to keep in the front of your mind is how it moves the story along toward the goal you first envisioned.
**My only real advice is to have an antagonist. The company's boss is pretty much done for as an antagonist. He brought Kassie and Derek closure. So if you're trying to make a relationship between your characters, give them both a common interest and common struggles. Once upon a time I suggested Mia asks Kassie out to a beach party and Mia's boyfriend makes a move on Kassie where Derek comes to her rescue-- that's just a suggestion as an example of antagonist.
**Progression. In your own mind where is Kasie at this point? What should her next progression be-- what would it look like? Its ok to have a "slow burn" and extend out the timeline of Kassie's eventual (corruption?? surrender?? or whatever), but to slow burn for the sake of the slow burn itself has no plot value, and everyone will see it for what it is. You obviously need not tell me the answer to any of these questions-- these are questions for you to help you get there. Personally, some of your activities you have had your characters go through, I thought were rather good and creative.
**Carefully read what your fans are saying about the content. Read between the lines of what they are saying and not saying. That is a good measuring stick in how you're doing. And by all means, please don't trying to accommodate our fevered dreams as to what we want to see and ignore your overall plan. Little point reading a book, watching a movie, or playing a game when the audience already knows the outcome.
