Inspiration onslaught

While I thought I would just wrap Chapter 1 up nicely as planned, I couldn't help getting lots of inspiration as I worked on this bit. I decided to add 3 extra areas, plus a couple of sidequests. The main story is complete now, there are two major dialogues to write and all of the companion dialogue. Plus lots of smaller ideas, a worldmap, history feats and lots more.

Not to spoil anything, but I like the end areas. They give me a good Buffy feeling.

I will probably release chapter 1 separately from the later chapters, because those will cost lots of time too. So I inadvertantly started a series again. This one, however, will actually consist of multiple parts, unlike my previous attempt (being Azaelus).

Mysteries of Westgate

Just finished Mysteries of Westgate. I'm currently sick, so I had some time to spare. While I enjoyed it very much, for those in the know it will be no surprise that this means that Rose and Blood will have a lot to live up to. The comparison is almost unavoidable...

Mysteries of Westgate was very well done. The area design was superb, dialogues were witty, lots of plot twists, etc. etc. etc. Still, there are some aspects about Rose and Blood that I still think are cool . I just hope I'll be able to polish it to a level that the comparison won´t put people off, which is a risk.

Back to bed now.
