Can I get 2 more updates in before the end of the contest to finish the prelude? Probably not but let's try anyway!!!

[Kíeros]

> Inordinately flashy battle transition: Occur.

>Show off what your moves are.

[Dragon Fogel]

>Just mash attack, these guys should be easy. Right?

[Solaris]

Hope that the game doesnt freeze during this!!!

These guys should be easy, just use the basic attacks~

[Iarei]

How can you want to fight them? They're like adorable, little metal puppy dogs! Fluffy galea! Fluffy! Oh well.

REVEAL THE BATTLE SCREEN!~

[Brickman]

Have sidequested ridiculously heavily for equipment that, while it'll be useless in the long run, makes you laughably overpowered at this early stage in the game. Even more than you would be normally.

[Restless Roamer]

> Heroes' equipment: Be a bunch of sickeningly grossly overpowered DLC and/or Pre-order bonuses that doesn't get replaced until near the end of the game.

> Aldric: Get sword and shield ready.
> Cassius: have a rapier in one hand and a dagger in the other.
> Tristan: Most metals conduct electricity. Ready UNLIMITED POWAH! a minor lightning bolt.
> Elizabeth: Pray onto your patron deity for guidance and/or assistance.

I apologize, but once again I'm only guessing what their possible RPG archetypes may be based on their articles of clothing. >_>;

[Brickman]

Alternately, going on a gut suspicion about which of my premises he's using...

Aldric: Become overconfident due to the fact that you outnumber them (and are "early" in the story) and charge right in without a real plan.

[OldManRupee]

Feel free to finish that prelude at your own pace now!

so hey. really enjoying this. I always like the 'start in the middle' type of stories, where you sort of discover what they're doing and why, later through other things and stuff. Also of course the art is fantastic and Aves is amazing as always.

If you want to sound fancy and pretentious (why wouldn't you?), the term for this type of start is "en media res".

Oooooooh, so close!

Oh whoops, I'd meant to reply to this along with the update. (((I should not be allowed to post when I've been awake for over 24 hours)))
All correct! They were meant to look like your sort of typical RPG protagonists, classes and all, so I'm really glad that came across

Aaaaaah thanks man (and also thanks to everyone else who's said nice things about this thread and whatnot)! I hope your positive assessments still hold true when we transition into the story proper.

*casually adds "en media res" and "galea" to vocabulary* Best and smartest readers


So hey are Ask Blogs still a thing that's cool? Because I totally made a Canon Fodder ask blog.

If you're not familiar with the tumblr phenomenon of ask blogs what you do is go here and type a question into that there box and hit the submit button. I have anonymous questions enabled so you don't even need a tumblr account to submit something!

Mostly they're used by artists and writers to give in-character responses from one particular character, but for this particular blog you can ask questions of anyone who's showed up in the story, or just generally questions about the world or whatever and I'll respond with a bit of text and hopefully a doodle. Yay doodles~! If you want to ask something of a specific character make sure you mention who, even if it should be obvious. I am not a clever girl and it's best to be safe. If you don't specify I'll go with whoever's answer would be the most entertaining.

The next update should be coming in a couple days. Spriting is hard, who wants to grow me a DapperPixel clone?

Technically speaking, it should be in medias res. You gotta spell it right for full pretentiousness!

Yes, I recently realized that the intervening years had somewhat dampened the ol' memory circuits. You are correct. (I should have googled it to make sure! silly me)
