In light of dashingdon shutting down at the end of the month, despite this WIP being abandoned, is there any interest in me porting the demo to cogdemos.ink? Do people still want to be able to play this? I will not be offended if the answer is no.

Update: 12/2/23

Hello friends,

This is certainly not the update you all were hoping for, but I've put a lot of thought into it...

Unfortunately, I've decided to finally put this game to rest. While I have written more for the update I said I'd get to and post around Thanksgiving, I just can't seem to wrangle the story in the way I originally planned.

My writing style has changed, the things I want from stories has changed, the state of the world has changed, and while I had some truly exciting and ambitious plans for the this story, ultimately I have changed too much to feel good about continuing this game. I want to give you a game that's fun for you, but also that I have fun making, and I've unfortunately spent too much time fretting about it to feel good about it anymore.

I am sorry to disappoint and have dreaded quitting this game for so long because I did put years and years of planning and thought and effort into it. Perhaps one day when I know how to rewrite things to get them in the direction I want, I'll pick this back up. But I'm making no promises, and that's a huge 'perhaps'. As I said, I've changed.

Feel free to ask any questions; I'm happy to answer them. Even spoilers for where the story was going. I had such plans.

Thank you so much for your support over the years. You're all wonderful people who helped my confidence in sharing my work grow. I hope you'll all be there for the next project I bring to the table, and I've learned so much from this experience, so I can only hope my next one is even better!

To magical adventures past and many more,

slow and steady, we’re still moving along…3300 words and that’s not super impressive for a chapter so far, but that’s barely scratching the intro to the chapter. And I’ve already had to split my chapter plans in 2 for this one. Now that I’ve got this into stuff out of the way tho, I can really start branching things! And they’ll just keep branching oh boy!

[herculeangame]

Hello, everyone. I’m gonna start doing progress updates every so often just to give you guys an idea of how we’re coming along. To hold myself accountable too lol

So:

I’ve gone back through both prologue parts and done a little bit of editing. There’s still more to be done there, but I’m thinking a lot of it needs a re-write and things are going to tie in more with part 1 so….I’m leaving it how it is for now.

Started writing part 1 ch 1! There’s not a whole lot yet, but it’s there!

Got a good outline going and reworked some plot points, changed a few things around, background stuff but hey, there’s stuff!

Added some more interesting ideas too. After sitting on the story for 4 years, I definitely forgot what I was doing with a lot of it…but essentially things are going in the same direction, don’t worry.

I’d said earlier that I’ll do a part 1 update around the end of November and that would complete the alpha, but honestly the release schedule might differ depending how writing goes. Sometimes chapters take on their own minds, and I already knew this story was going to be LONG, but I’m not sure how breaking it up will go best until more is actually written. Part 1 will be several chapters, so I might do chapter updates until I feel comfortable leaving you guys on a cliffhanger for the full game!

just dropping in to say that i've been under a bus for archor for YEARS and i'm glad that this game is coming back!!!!

Oh I’m so glad to hear people are still thinking about the game! There has never been a moment where it’s not been on my mind, I just did not have the energy or time to work on it 😞 but now I do and I’m so glad to be able to do so! Thanks for sticking around so long!!

[herculeangame]

Truthfully, I’d love to aim a little farther out than I usually would and say very ideally Thanksgiving there will be a part 1 release that will complete the alpha. 👀

anyone interested in an update? 👀

Last time I played the demo was in 2019 and I randomly found it again is this still being worked on?

it is, sporadically. Life got hectic and I've had to put it on pause for bit. I also put out a small update last year.

[herculeangame]

herculean - romance options

Aruna and Ananta - twin sisters, and no matter how different or how far apart they world sends them, they’ll always find their way back to each other–for better or worse

Iovis Manoja - most at home among their friends, they feel oddly at peace on a hunt by themself, just them and the magic in the air around them–perhaps it’s safer that way

Archor Connla - shy and quiet, he’s content to spend all his time alone–though he thirsts for something more to sate his curiosity

Rahul Shyanna - boisterous and with no shame, he thrives in the sun and among other people–a breath of fresh air from the burden of strong magic coursing through him

Hi! Can i ask who the ROs are and what their personalities are like?

[herculeangame]

I have every intention of continuing and finishing this game eventually!! Life’s been...so hectic, especially this past year. But I really hope I get time this coming year to keep working on it!

I’m so glad you like it so far!! Thank you!!

[herculeangame]

Life’s been rough, and I’ve got a new fun eye problem that’s making looking at screens very difficult, so no new art this year. Enjoy last year’s art!

happy holidays from the cast!
