From the desk of the Majicrafter,

    I spent tonight adding new maps and QUEST! There are five so far, though only two if them have been implemented because I still need to map the areas connected to the other quest and battles (the battles are already built, just need to add the player a path to them.) 

In City of Rats you have slipped into a strange realm. You become  the emissary for "The Rat Queen" who uses your might and magical abilities to keep order in her strange realm, where people turn into  rats and rats turn into people. -and sometimes other things!

What your character wants more than anything is to find a way home.

My goals for this game are to make;

a complete , fully interactive, sandbox with a full short story with a a beginning an end.
To do this I have begin drafting the tale and the relative dialogues,

a better dialogue and quest system...cuz this one is poo. I've manage to come up with a multi battle system that's even easier to implement than the one I built for Beyond the End, the City of Rats backend is loosely based on Beyond the End's but the front end is so much more exciting and clean and how multi-battle is handled is much, much nicer I think. I want to build an all in one function for dialogue and use dictionaries to build dialogue scenes, One line of code is my goal here, to launch a dialogue with side images, dialogues and dialogue options.  Lofty but I think I can do it.

This is a REALLY dark, gritty story, it's gonna have multiple outcomes. I'm going to keep this project concise, and when I upload it it will be a complete game you can download from my Patreon. 

Also! If you downloaded and played Beyond the End - BETA or the Starlight Backbird Tales - Aplha, I wanna here from you. Tell me what you think :) What can I add or change to make the game more enjoyable for you? Was something broken? Bugged?

ps.

Here is an "algaeman" you might find lurking around in the deeper parts of the Rat Queen's realm. They heal very fast, so you may want to bring a friend along. You can make a new friend if you look around in the more out of the way paths in the tunnels. There are four such friends you can make and take with you into battle!

The Turtle Woman, "Gemma" who has great armor
The Frog Man, "Kevin." who is very hard to hit.
The Snake Woman, "Sssuan." who can constrict or poison opponents
And either "Fred the Rat" or "Frita the Rat" who are equipped with weapons and gadgets.






You'll most definitely want a friend or two to take on this fella,
