lonely wolf treat: alternate ending plans
🕑 Added 2023-01-30 20:00:04 +0000 UTCthis post contains TREAT SPOILERS, so if you don't want to know anything, forget you saw this new character design!!! lol
---
first, some explanation: when i released chapter 7, i added some extra stuff throughout the previous chapters! this included access to BAD END THEATER when you visit the netherworld in chapter 4. the witches there hint at bad endings, so i thought today i'd reveal my evil plans...
what'd i'd really love to do for treat 8 is give you access to the netherworld and BAD END THEATER once again, where you'll get hints for how to reach the bad end paths for each main character. originally i was thinking i could write a bad ending for all 8 chapters, but i think cutting it down to 4 higher quality paths is more satisfying!
and before i scare u off, my rule for these is that they're not miserable just for the sake of it. each ending has to reveal plot details that you'd otherwise never be able to find out. starting with treat's bad end in chapter 1... where if you fulfill the conditions you'll learn from lilium in chapter 8, you can explore the wilderness northwest of frosting where a new plot will unfold...!
so now i can finally tell you about TIMBER!!!!!!!
he's the leader of the pack that treat and her family left when she was young. THEY'RE HUNTERS... or are they?! (they kinda are.) it's complicated! (timber is definitely a villain.) but you'll finally get to learn more about the other wolves in the next release :) i'm already halfway through scripting the events for this one, and i'm having a great time hehe
and of course it's a bad ending, so there will be a nice dose of despair too. i mean, it's despair-inducing by default because if treat joins this other pack and leaves frosting, she can never get together with mochi and moxie...! and never see trick again!!! NOOO!!!!
...good thing it's just an alternate ending ;o
i'm really really excited to write the rest of these, so i hope if you enjoy bad endings you'll have a good time with this stuff (especially knowing that it's not real and can't hurt you!! lol)
and if you don't like bad endings, it's completely avoidable! actually the unlock conditions are super arbitrary and pretty much impossible to trigger by accident, because i wanted to make all the bad ends accessible from chapter select for convenience.
again, the point of these alternate endings is to round out the plot and give more information on things that have been glossed over in the main story, or give you access to places you couldn't explore before... idk, i guess i don't really have to justify what i'm making to anyone--but i know the treat characters are very dear to people's hearts, so i wanted to try to make it clear that i'm not hurting them for no reason! i've got STUFF TO SAY!!!
like... i love timber!! my evil boy!!!!! i'm glad i made him and i hope people draw cool fan art of him in the future!!!!! sorry for getting so excited about my villains (i feel this way about syrup 2's baddies too haha), i promise the happy endings will outweigh all the tragedy!!!
thanks for reading <3

omg trick's master being revealed to be evil would be the biggest plot twist ever. how could he raise such a perfect child. he's flawed but def not a villain :) THANKS AS ALWAYS!!!

AaaAAAah. When I saw the whole Bad Ending thing, I really thought it'd add up to one bad end at the end, with the little interactions in each story being how you make it happen (was explicitly thinking, not talking to Dango in Dreaming Treat being one pff), but this sounds super interesting!!! I definitely wasn't sure if I'd like it with the way I just described it, but bad endings for each of 4 characters (?) sounds really fricking interesting, especially if they're meant to reveal more plot/character details...... I can only imagine what Mochi's and Trick's might be like, but I have the slightest inkling for Moxie's.... And if my Moxie guess is right then I will make a very sad face and possibly cry at least one tear. Although maybe it could just be, like..... ANYWAY!!! YES!!! I LOVE THIS BAD ENDING PLAN!!! (Cliff east of Treat's house please don't be relevant. I mean be relevant if you must, but y'know.) And yes Timber here seems very powerful..... THE EVIL SMIRK..... THE HANDS IN HIS POCKETS..... HIS ENTIRE DEMEANOR..... He seem very iconic. Dunno if the other bad ends will have similarly iconic villains, but!!! Happy he's here, even if he's probably going to wrench my gut along with the 3 other bad endings. (When you said you designed somebody evil, specifically will he/him pronouns, I thought it might've been Trick's dad for a sec pff... Who knows if he's evil too or not, but there's only one way to know....!!!) GREATLY LOOKING FORWARD TO IT ALL!!! GANBA WITH THE GAME DEV'ING AND HECK YES Q&A COMICS BEGIN AAAA.
