MVOL: You Are Here (v0.17)
🕑 Added 2015-09-03 05:03:10 +0000 UTC Last month I made up a sort of visual table of contents for My Very Own Lith to give you guys a better idea of where we are in the overall development of the game. That was the overarching view of how far we are in the entire storyline. Today, I'm gonna show you where we are within the Stone Door.Now, this graphic is pretty vague, as there's a lot of things about the game's content I'd rather you discovered for yourself. This is already a pretty big spoiler by my usual standards, really xP But you can see a few things here that I've generally had trouble communicating well.
So there are three paths, one for each collar, that lead into the Stone Door. Each path encounters similar challenges, but perceives them and deals with them in very different ways. In the first Chapter of the Stone Door, each path makes a single, critical decision. You see how it plays out immediately, then you can go back to the void for a breather. When you go back in, you see in Chapter Two how your choice from before plays out in subtle or stark ways in how the characters behave. as they get to know each other better and overcome more troubles. The big accomplishment in v0.17 was completing the last few possible lines for Chapter Two and finally broaching Chapter Three. If you were willing to play the black path and made the right choices, you got to see the game's first "proper" ending.
Chapter Three is where things get a little complicated. This diagram looks pretty simple right now, but I think by the time it's completed and we're done with the stone door, it's gonna be kinda confusing. Basically, each of the six paths you could currently be set on going into Chapter Three will have their own choice. Many will be similar to the choices in your sister paths, but the outcomes will all be unique. This means there will be at least twelve possible outcomes at the end of the Stone Door. Some of them will be endings, and some of them will continue on to leave the Stone Door and be ready for the next major arc in Act II of the game.
So in a few weeks, when v0.18 is solid and starting to get sent out, keep an eye out for an updated diagram going up! This should make it much easier to understand what new content is being added to the game's storyline. And if you still don't understand how this diagram maps out to the game, then you may want to spend some more time exploring other options! There's a lot of game packed away in there where you may not expect it :3
Thanks for your support, everyone! v0.18 is coming this month, and as always, I wish there was MORE new stuff in it, but I feel pretty confident about the quality of what I've allowed through. I hope you'll enjoy it!
