Alrighty, sorry for being a lot less online and on the discord than I usually am, but between summer family travels and massive amounts of rain leading to a small flood and water damage in our house (have had to move so much stuff, and deal with the insurance company, ugh) I've been all out of social interactions.
Thank you so much for your support, and hopefully things will calm down soo...
2024-07-28 08:37:55 +0000 UTC View PostAlrighty, the combined puppet demo is still a patchwork since there are so many paths to connect. So it is not finished yet, but here is an excerpts from the 3.1 path side of the demo. This is where Mortum had Sky-Raider break the puppet with broken legs out from the hospital. It's not from the start, but from somewhere in the middle. As always, the code lacks a lot of choices, what the pup...
2024-07-22 16:50:24 +0000 UTC View PostWell, vacation has turned hectic as we have discovered mold in our house (which is half underground, so...) and has needed to deal with that. And the rain just keeps pouring down, in addition to both me and my partner catching a cold. Fun. Still, here comes this month's lore post from Lady Argent's perspective! Hope you enjoy a rare look inside her head. Apologies for being little on discor...

2024-06-29 06:56:03 +0000 UTC View PostWell, Pride month is here, and so is Breaks volume 2. If you fancy reading my comics writing, here is where you can order it from the publisher, though it should appear at a bookstore near you. Hopefully.

2024-06-07 07:07:25 +0000 UTC View PostAlright! Time for this month's lore post. This time we are delving into the fallout between Chen and Ortega after the reveal of Sidestep's autopsy. This takes place early in Revelations, and will be repurposed as a scene in some paths where Sidestep still has enough of a relationship with either of them to be a part of this. If that doesn't happen, something like this might go down...<...
2024-06-05 14:05:58 +0000 UTC View PostSo sorry! I forgot that I hadn't answered them while swearing about my computer. This month has been chaotic as hell, it really slipped my mind, I thought I had already done oit.
Thank you for reminding me!

There are certain villains who forged Sidestep into the person they are today. How does Sidestep rank in their minds?
Well, of the ones t...
2024-05-28 13:09:28 +0000 UTC View PostClarification, put them all in this post, I realize my last one could be misunderstood!
2024-05-27 11:57:50 +0000 UTC View PostWell, as some of you might have noticed, I have not been very much online for the last few weeks or so. Well, for a while now my computer has been breaking down. It has made it very annoying to work on, finally breaking down entirely. I've spent a lot of time trying to fix the issue, but the sad truth these days seems to be that laptops just aren't reparable anymore, especially when it comes to...
2024-05-26 07:52:48 +0000 UTC View PostWell, thanks to a timely placed nightmare this morning I realized exactly what it is that has been bothering me about the puppetstuck path. So, history time.
Back when I was writing Fallen Hero as a book (working title a supervillain writing experiment) back in the Livejournal days, this was the point where I ran headfirst into a brick wall. Until then, everything had flowed great, but at...
2024-05-06 06:07:26 +0000 UTC View PostWell, a change of pace. I have grown increasingly frustrated with my "voice" in the puppetstuck path, so instead of banging my head against the wall there you get a bit of extended/reworked Innocent Sidestep stuck at the Farm content. As always, missing choices, one path etc.
Hopefully I can figure out what bugs me about the puppet headspace soon so I can bat it into shape. M...
2024-05-05 19:32:03 +0000 UTC View PostBusiest time of the year for me, the VIP puppetstuck content will be up on friday, sunday at the latest. Sorry for the delay, those two weeks of sick earlier in the month screwed my schedule!
2024-05-02 07:06:47 +0000 UTC View PostAlright, I am busy writing puppetstuck content, so let's have a look at what is happening with some of the other characters during the start of this path. Surely everything is just business as usual....

2024-04-28 12:33:43 +0000 UTC View PostAlright, a little late. Is working on the other two updates, will hopefully get them out this weekend. The puppet path is currently a massive puzzle spread across the floor pieces everywhere, but I'll pull together a coherent snippet to post so you can see where some of it is going. I am having fun with it, just struggling with certain aspects, second guessing myself what I want to reveal early...

2024-04-08 14:20:27 +0000 UTC View PostWell, we are here now, and it is time for the open demo for Fallen Hero: Revelations, path 4.2.
I've gone over the closed one, fixed bugs, adjusted the character creator, and corrected some spelling and grammar. Enjoy! This is open now, so feel free to share with friends.
This demo follows path 4.2, with a Sidestep who is still in their own body, with a puppet stuck in the hospital....
2024-04-07 17:41:04 +0000 UTC View PostSitting here cleaning up the demo for public release later today, but I just thought I'd plug this wonderful Fallen Hero mug made and sold by Eydika with my permission. It just made me chuckle, and I pressed the buy button immediately. Also, Eydika would like it known that the idea originally was Anjie's.
In the hectic preparation for easter I forgot to put on the questions post! Oooops. Well, better late than never, it is still March for a little while longer.
2024-03-31 07:17:45 +0000 UTC View PostEaster is upon us, so running slightly later than normal, apologies!
This month's lore post features Dr. Mortum and Sky-Raider, for the story, Dr. Mortum and the puppet are both women. Easier with pronouns that way.

This demo follows path 4.2, with a Sidestep who is still in their own body, with a puppet stuck in the hospital. They are free and healthy, not revealed and with no broken legs. Living their best life, in fact. And out to pay Hollow Ground back...

2024-02-25 17:04:45 +0000 UTC View PostWell, I am working on path 4.2, which is in truly in a patchwork shape right now. But there is enough finished on this particular path where you decide to pay a quiet little visit to Hollow Ground (no fear, there are many less quiet or friendly options too). As always, not finished, no stats, more options to be coming. Just thought you might enjoy having a little chat with the kingpin himse...

The city was thick with fog, the shadow of the new bridge crossing it like a cut throat in the distance. Iris closed her eyes and breathed deeply, smog and mist coiling in her chest. The city was a distant white noise, the new reclamation project a resurrected corpse being brought back to life around her. It was to be the latest jewel in Los Diablos cro...
