before i get into things, feel free to replurk this since the idea proposed WILL be open to everyone!

also hello if you stumbled on this and wanna know what it's about there's an interest check/FAQ here and a navigation page here! There are still a couple pages that aren't done yet but it is mostly complete, welcome to my self indulgent game

Anyway-- on one hand, seems like a bad idea to open right before most people (including myself h-haha) are gonna be at their most busy. On the other hand, I really don't wanna delay the game for a whole extra 2 months when it's already been delayed enough.

So! Compromise!! I was thinking we could have some open "TDMs" across those two months and introduce a side-scenario before everyone ends up in the main city hub. These would be open to everyone, not necessarily invited folks only, and it would have light plot stuff to bite into and connect it to the main scenario.

It would also serve as a good testrun of the current quest structure to see if it needs more tweaking (btw, the quest page is finally up here if you want a peek). Quests are gonna be the main way of dispensing easy-access plot hooks so I wanna make sure it all makes sense and runs smoothly.

The pre-game sidequest would likely take place somewhere in the Demon Realm. Where? idk where do people wanna go, burnt wasteland hellscape? frozen tundra hellscape? bottom of the ocean but you can breathe somehow? disneyland?????

There will be power nerfing to spice things up (there will not be power nerfing in the main game, this is a unique feature of the demon realm), the tone may also lean a little more towards horror/survival than the main game will... it's the demon realm, it's just like this.

ANYWAY THOSE ARE MY THOUGHTS i would love to hear how people feel about the idea, if ppl have any preferences re: where we should take the sidequesting.

I'll still be aiming to have something up by the end of the month, Halloween would be a fun date to start the surprise demon realm arc TDM

sits here in my main account now

As someone who isn't as busy around the holidays I'm down for anything!! But yes please on spooky demon realm stuff!!

I'D BE DOWN FOR SIDEQUESTS

im so thirsty to finally get things going i almost forgot about retail hell 8V rip me

also if ppl want a vague idea of whats in the demon realm theres some short descriptions on the map page but i can elaborate if anything piques ppl's interest

personally im leaning disneyland because hello the dream demons are fun and cute and you can ride a rollercoaster and checks notes undergo a demonic ritual to turn you into demon so you can stay forever and ever and ever if they decide they want to keep you

demon realm has a lot of fun lore tho!!!

punch retail hell in the nose and take its lunch money

SHENANIGANS

I'd be happy to do sidequests! I tend to get really busy around holiday time time

im also in retail hell so im a little embarrassed i forgot about this 8V but i think with my current help it should be p easily doable, taking out all the list upkeep would make it a lot easier to focus on the fun parts too

Yeah!! Just keep it chill lavvy! I know I plan on causing shenanigans of my own, so it's not like I'll be bored here

gives a gentle bump for daytime ppl....

shenanigans? Shenanigans.

shenanigans!

shenanigans!

gently places an FAQ here and also in the main plurk

i was gonna wait until its closer to the end of the month but this is just info so fuck it,

get in the spacehole we're going to HELL

HELL HELL HELL HELL HELL

also i very recently learned the demon realm has EYEBALL LIME please i love it so much, holds it up

.... okay but when you squeeze it does it cry juice or tears

I'm gonna just take a guess here and answer: yes

"OH GOD, IT'S SO BITTER.... AND SO SALTY"

I'm also going to echo and just say: yes
