Thx again. Calling MC the Antichirst i could have sworn that Demonothans and Rhianna also call him that and this would surely seems strange. But i could remeber it wrong and only the humans and Angelions call him that.In regard to the exuberant plans for the following games and whether it will happen or not, I am planning on it happening, as I don’t have much else to do in this life. But the value of it and speed in which they are released will kind of determine on the players, patrons and, of course my health.
Either way, I have to have the story plotted out, or it will just grind on forever, blue-balling and milking players and patrons, like some of the games out there that have lost their way and storytelling.
As for your questions:
- Writing a book to sway people to your side of things always helps to have a ‘victim’ as the lead in that book. People flock to martyrs, get spun up and their panties in a bunch and cry out for vengeance, solidifying their cause and the orchestrators of the event that is being played out.
You have to look no further than today’s politics in the United States to see such examples.
As for Jesus and the Angelions who orchestrated all of this, they never referred to Christ as the ‘Antichrist’, in fact, they had him as the ‘Savior’ of man… allowed him to perform his miracles, gain followers then orchestrated his murder to make a martyr of him and gain even more supporters.
In the case of the MC being the ‘Antichrist’, the Angelions knew that they would eventually appear, might not be able to control them so marked them as the villain in the story, turn people against them and have the world believe that their appearance would mark the end of the world.
Using the term ‘Antichrist’ tells their followers that the person is the exact opposite of their Savior, stirring them up to want to crush and destroy them even before their appearance… in the case of our game, the bible is simply a means of propaganda… which if you consider the fact that it is often used to create wars, and how the kings of old and men today use it to dictate how a governed people should behave or act… well, guess it isn’t too far from the truth in reality as it is in our game.
- As for swords rather than ray guns… allow me to use a famous quote: “Not as random or as clumsy as a blaster; an elegant weapon for a more civilized age."— Obi Wan ‘Ben’ Kenobi, A New Hope
I am approaching it this way… the Angelions and Demonothans have been fighting their war among humanity since long before the middle-ages and have done all they can to blend in with humanity.
Add to the fact that they crash landed on our planet, means that their technology while advanced may not have power sources that match our own or holding on to the use of them till the final war…
Also, I kind of approach it the same way that I was taught in the military… I don’t need a ‘gun’ to kill a person, I can just as easily kill a person with a sword, knife or spoon… use whatever tool you can use to get the job done.
As you said, it is just a story and a game… some decisions are just my own decisions and things that make sense to me, may not make sense to someone else… but, since it is my story, I get to do what I want. *wink*
As for the profile displaying something before it was supposed to, I will have to look into that. But, yeah, that shouldn’t have shown up till the point in the story that it happens.
Glad you enjoyed the game and hope that you will continue to enjoy it as it continues!

Besides this and the whole part about swords rather than guns. Well we all saw how this played out for the Jedi AND even in the last scenes of Book One, you could clearly see, that a shit ton of Angelions died because they not only faced the girls but also guns.
Ah and a question: Do i understand it correctly, that all the characters which refer to themselfs as goddesses (like Karma and the 3 timeline girls) are only other races which came with the Demonothans? If so, again its weird that Syrina speaks to Karma ect. with this title. Or all the races are so far up their own assas that they believe now, that they are gods.
Oh and another one: What excatly is Yomi-no-Kuni? Is it another dimension or just some kind of "big cave" unter the Angelions island? If i didnt miss something, it was never really explained.
