Same on the name thing. I like how its random from a set of name, but the first name he gave my MC was Ash and I felt it was perfect for my dragon blooded boy.
And yes...that is not an Ancient. That is grandpa. xD
I know. All we can do is hope that the insanity finds an end. Still, we got our work around and the story is good enough to be worth the extra money. And of course I enjoyed the chapter. Just finished it, in fact. My guy is just wrapped around Flea's finger and Flea don't see it. xD Loved the continuation of domestic fluff and enjoyed the urge to murder Hawker. Like, get out of here, you shithead! Alex will kill you if you touch his Incubus. Love that Flea now feels ok to run around with his trick down at home. And loved that WORK was an option for how my Alex handled things at his lowest. That is exactly how I imagined him being. The type to bury himself into work until he dropped dead rather then cope. Flea has been more a blessing to my workaholic detective then he might realize.
Honestly, I was annoyed with the paypal option. But I'm so thankful for the discount for your patreon. I've bought every chapter up to this point, but I don't mind rebuying with the discount. The full amount its at (at least for someone not new to the story) would have sucked though. xD So thank you for the discount. =)
You live! I wanted to ask, but I didn't want to annoy, so I'm glad to see this devlog. Been waiting happily for the update. Will continue to wait. =)
As for the sneak peak... "B***, you betrayed us first for some saint chick. I'm dating your sexy tall, dark, and actually-cares-about-me Brother now." xD Even funnier cause I play a male MC, so Ædan literally dumped my MC for a woman.
I always love POVs, specially from ROs. Interludes are ok, so long as they are important to the story and not overly long since they lack interaction. But as a book reader, its not anything new. xD You can always offer the reader the option to skip a pov or interlude, which helps during multiple readings or for characters whose pov you're not interested in for that playthrough.
Very nice update. I enjoyed the various combat scenes, and the angst and drama with Coda. In fact, Vicente and Coda are definitely competing affection wise with my MC. xD Can't help it...its to easy to flirt with pretty boy Vicente as well, specially when he romantically offers that we kill his dad together. lol
I enjoyed all the interactions with Coda to. And his reaction to my ferret, Tellus. I am curious why, if we are basically joining the resistance now, why we're still holding on to the mute/deaf facade. Might as well speak up (literally).
It's because we are fighting that Itch gained some courage to do this. Keep fighting VISA and MC, ppl. We can't let them continue to get away with stuff like this. Adults have the right to use their money how they want for legal purchases, and Card Processors have no right to parent us.
As Lili said... "But that DOES NOT MEAN we let Mastercard and Visa off the hook."
Make sure if you are contacting VISA and MC, that you are calling them. Emails can be deleted or filtered. But call centers must answer calls, and every call a call center takes, VISA and MC has to pay them for it. (Just be respectful to the call operator when voicing your complaint, even if they are rude to you.) We can make a difference.
A lot of Interactive Fiction was affected, not just THOSE games. And with the vague terms, they can go after many other things. They basically have made is so that if any special interest group/activist group lobbies the Card Processors cause of something they don't like, they can shut said thing down. Soon we won't be able to play Horror games...or anything with Violence...etc.
Keep up the pressure against Visa, Mastercard, Collective Shout, and any supporting this censorship.
