Has this been abandoned??

Nah, not abandoned, but on hiatus while I do some major rewrites and revamps. I originally started this book three years ago when I was just a teenager, and as you can probably imagine, my tastes and skills have changed dramatically in that time. I still adore the original concept, but I tried doing too much too quick, there were some major plot holes, the code was a mess, the choices were overwhelming, and I think I need to start all over if this book is gonna work. 

I am working on this book when I can, but it’s a very ambitious one that takes quite a bit to work on and I have a different book that I’m working on if you want to check it out in the meantime; Court of Harts, here’s the demo, and here’s the forum thread and the blog.

“Court of Harts” Demo Now Available

PLAY THE DEMO HERE AND VIEW THE FORUM THREAD HERE! Keep in mind that the demo isn’t a full one and will be regularly updated until it is.

You can also join the discord server here!

“Court of Harts” is a low-fantasy court intrigue CYOA, set within the fictional kingdom of Theodosia, where the language and culture are a mix of Renaissance France and England, the fashion is a mix of Renaissance and Elizabethan, and the architecture is Rococo.

In a purposeful subversion of the trope where the player is a member of royalty attempting to win the throne, the main character of Harts is training under the king’s advisor to eventually take on the role. On paper, the Consiel’s role is as the monarch’s closest adviser and right hand man, in reality, the Consiel is all that in addition to the monarch’s personal spy and assassin, doing whatever tasks the monarch asks of them outside the bounds of the law in service of crown and country. You can read a more in-depth synopsis here.

FEATURES:

Lots of impactful choices once the plot gets going.

Choice of four noble houses for your MC to belong to, each with their own relations, reputations, stories and appearances, more info about them here.

A character creation system in which your relatives’ appearances change along with your MC’s, so that you’re not locked into the default appearances.

Five fully fleshed out romance routes, that you can read more about here.

An MC with a personality and quirks that you can determine.

So I was having trouble deciding on a design for Ori’s eyes, and the wonderful and endlessly patient @rockboci was sweet enough to draw what I was thinking of to help me visualize it! We ended up going for the first drawing, but I loved the other options and Boci’s art and wanted y’all to see how amazingly talented they are!!!
