Welcome back! Wishing you luck and happy writing/coding!

Thank you!!

I've been talking to my brother about my stories and it's really helped me be inspired to write and world build again. I've always been more of a storyteller than a writer, so I think it's helping a lot.

[luminarygame]

So, I'm rebranding

I know it's been a hot while, but hello hello!

This story originated as a Choicescript game, but moving forward I plan to switch over to using Twine to code everything. I'll hopefully get to the point of adding art and music, but for now I'm focusing mostly on rewriting!

I've been writing as Theseus of Aalto Games for a while, but from here forward I'll be posting as Daedalus Creations.

Thank you so much for all the support and love you've given me and my creations, and I hope you enjoy what I continue to do in the future!

Official Hiatus

You may have seen this coming.

The short of this is that I simply don’t have the energy to focus on writing right now. My health has never been the greatest but despite my best efforts it’s taken a downturn that I need to focus on, and I just don’t know when I’ll be able to focus on writing again.

Luminary is near and dear to my heart, and I really want to continue working on it in the future, but the fact of the matter is I can’t do that right now, and I don’t know when I’ll be able to. I’ll try to keep posting things like aesthetics and character facts, but for now I simply can’t write.

[luminarygame]

Dunno if you've done this already, but can you give detailed descriptions of what the ROs look like? Thanks so much!

There should be a link in the description to it but if there isn’t please let me know! Here’s the link to it

Not sure if you've answered this before, but what order are the triplets in?

Wormwood is the eldest and Oleander is the youngest! Poor Hawthorn gets a lot of middle child jokes from their dad.

[luminarygame]

the hardest part about writing luminary is that it is a horror story from any other perspective

[luminarygame]

Hey there, hope you're doing okay. When you're feeling up to it (no pressure), I was wondering what the ROs MBTI types were?

i have very little understanding of MBTI types but i’ve done my best :)

Angelos: ENFJ

Noa: INTP

Hawthorn: ISTP

Oleander: ESTP

Seonghui: ISTJ

Aoibheann: ESFP

dont know what the other person was asking about specifically but I would like too know what the status with Caliginous, its the first game of yours i played.

As of right now, I’m not able to work on any of my games because of health issues. I’m working on getting able to write again, but I’m not stressing myself out in order to do that.

Caliginous is something of a vent project for me, and it’s something I work on when I’m jonesing for eeriness and horror. It doesn’t have planned regular updates like Luminary and Era 404 do.

I’m happy to answer questions about my projects on their blogs.

[luminarygame]

hey are you okay? you haven't post in a while and your forum is inactive, i hope you're alright. much love for you! 🌻🌻

Hey! Thank for asking<33

I’ve been going through a lot of health issues lately that have left me without the energy or inspiration to write :’) I’m working towards getting back to it but I’m prioritizing my health at the moment. 

[luminarygame]

Whats up with Caliginous

what about it?

[luminarygame]

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Turkey Day to those of us in the U.S. that celebrate it, and happier Native American Heritage Month. I’ve already made a post like this, but I’d like to make another post of donation links! This time to help food scarcity on Native reservations and in Native communities.

NORTH AMERICAN TRADITIONAL INDIGENOUS FOOD SYSTEMS

ONE SPIRIT LAKOTA

NATIVE FOOD ALLIANCE

CHEYENNE RIVER YOUTH PROJECT

Here’s a list of organizations promoting Indigenous food sovereignty around the world!

Have a happy November!

We’ve made it to 50k per playthrough!! [link to the demo]

Word count w/command lines: 171,311

Word count w/o command lines: 153,325

Words per playthrough: ~51k

CHANGELOG:

Heterochromia option now available in character creation!

Fixed some stats page issues

Continuing personality balancing – most options should be fairly equal by now*

Friendship and amiability v. rivalry balancing

We learn more about the goings on at the museum!

And learn a little more about both Isla and Fatima’s backstories.

*Note: When I’m personality balancing, I don’t include any traits that only happen in flirt scenes, species specific scenes, or other unique identifiers that prevent other players from achieving them. So things should be more balanced now in general.

Right now the only RO scene fleshed out even remotely is Isla and Fatima’s poly scene (as in, you talk to the both of them at once, these scenes by no means lock you in to any romances and are meant to develop your character’s relationship with the others, whether that be romance, friendship, or enemies)

This is the last update of the year!

It’s definitely not where I wanted to be but as I was writing the museum scene it just became more and more complex (which is a good thing!) so I suspect most of my time is going to be fleshing out all those scenes over the holidays to give y’all a big update in January.

Changes for 2021:

The first update will be January 15th, 2021. All future updates from then on will be on the 15th of that month.

Public updates are moving to once every two months.

Patreon updates are moving to once a month

Patreon rewards and tiers are going to be seeing some changes once I get things organized–good changes, ofc

I hope you all enjoy the update even though its a relatively small one! 😊
