There is now a spolier discord

For people who have read the full alpha and needs to vent.

It came to my attention that people might want to vent about what they read without exploding, so here is the smallest discord for your screaming needs. It will get expanded on as we go, but I just wanted to get something off the gr...

Future functionality

Since this is all very new to me and people are actually signing up, I have a few things I want to ask people if they are interested in. This is open to everyone, not just patrons, so feel free to weigh in if you are considering becoming one but there might be other things you would like.  2020-09-17 18:35:43 +0000 UTC View Post

So how about those spoilers.

For people who hung around on the discord while I still frequented the place, this is familiar to you. You see, on people's birthdays, if I happened to be online, I would answer truthfully one of their spoiler questions.

And I'm not talking minor spoilers here, I am talking major mysteries ...

Q&A thoughts and info

So, still not sure exactly how I will set up a Q &A session on Patreon. The video livechat feels like a nightmare for someone like me that freezes up even in voicechat.

So far I am not sure if I want to run it through a discord, or some other way. We'll see. Rome wasn't built in a day. ...

Current closed alpha build of Retribution

 So here it is. Click the Dashingdon link above for access.

I am currently doing a major overhaul, and have finished and posted that up to chapter 17. The game is finished, but chapter 18 - 22 is in a much rougher state. No, no proofreading yet. Sorry about that.

First Lore poll

Well, we need to start somewhere, so might as well start here. I have been planning on doing a series of longer, more in-depth posts about the characters and the world of Fallen Hero. But knowing where to start is always an issue. That's where you come in. I've added a few not too spoilery option...

The Drag.

Since I am currently home sick and procrastinating, let’s talk about one of the hardest things in writing any lengthy project, and one which tends to take people by surprise. 

Actually finishing it.

You see, it’s not like a book or a game is done once you write t...

Getting to the End

Today we are going to talk about endings.

No, not endings as in how you actually construct a story and make it end in a satisfactory way, there’s enough advice for that online and at least half of it is bullshit. No, what we are going to talk about is h...

Worldbuilding thoughts

 The first in my series of slightly rewritten posts on other forums. This one came about after I was asked for advice on how to do world building.

So here are my quick thoughts on the matter:

You don’t need half as much world building as you think you do and if...

Fun in the sun

The cover for Fallen Hero: Retribution is finalized, and I love what Polterink did with it. My style wish essentially boiled down to 'toxic crayons' and I think she really pulled it off.

Looking at the image now in mid S...
