FULL PROLOGUE RELEASED - DEC 24, 2023

LAST UPDATE: DEC 25, 2023

Vanguard is a high fantasy interactive fiction, driven heavily by the player character's decisions. Features a customizable playable faering character, romantic/platonic routes, and having fun as a dragon!

CONTENT WARNINGS: VIOLENCE, SUGGESTIVE AND SEXUAL CONTENT, LOTS OF SWEARING, PROBABLY GASLIGHTING (looking at you, Vera), POSSIBLE UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIP DYNAMICS. Intended for an audience that is 17+ ; read with discretion!

YOUR STORY

As a faering, you should want to keep to yourself. Your home is a safe haven where your dragon kin people reside; a place of true neutrality. There are no allies to the Midlands, nor are there enemies. Your people simply are, and this will not change.

But you were never one much for rules, were you? With whispers of a certain prince in the Northlands allegedly receiving death threats from your docile leader, Cirrus, you could only slip away into the depths of the North to go see for yourself. It's so hilariously outrageous that your peace-loving ruler has such rumours teeming about them.

You did not expect to find a bounty hunter bleeding out from her abdomen. And most of all, you did not expect her to know you by name, even through her raggedy breaths. And most of all, you did not expect her to have leads on the one you seek: the Northern Prince.

FEATURES

Customize a playable character (pronouns, gender, appearance, sexuality, etc.)

Be helpful to a stern prince...or not.

Develop relationships with a diverse cast of: three non-binary characters (Cirrus, Vio, Kiera), two male characters (Emilio and Charles), and two female characters (Vera and Nia). Note that Vio and Kiera are non-romanceable.

Approximately 12k words thus far; chapter one in progress.

i know i have mentioned it before, but just a reminder that updates from now on will not be consistent, and i apologize for this! i am a full time STEM student at uni, and this is a passion project i have on the side so i don't go insane at school. calculus has already fried a good portion of my brain cells. i'm trying to regrow them.

i do have a good bit of chapter one written out, so i am reaalllyy gonna keep a positive mindset and hopefully write bit by bit, no matter how busy school gets.

thank you for reading and supporting Vanguard!! i hope the prologue is enough food for now. if you haven't seen already, i posted a small excerpt from Chapter One.

thank you so much, as always. it's incredible to know that you all are enjoying and reading my work.
