Playing Both Sides
Warning - Politics, Implied Sex, General Offensiveness​

SECTION A: GAMEPLAY MECHANICS

  • Mechanics will be fairly standard JRPG fare, with a few key differences.
    Leveling is mostly flat. Stats only improve slightly as you level.
    Skills will be a series of paper-rock-scissors style moves which counter each other.

    I can make it through the dungeons with healing potions to spare, but I know the enemies' move sets. A key piece of information I need is how hard it is for someone figuring it out as they go along.

SECTION B: CHARACTERS

  • Eric - A young man who signed on to a crew of privateers seeking riches.
    Morgan - The love of Eric's life. She may or may not be a witch.

SECTION C: STORYLINE/PLOT

  • People have long forgotten the proper name of the Lawless Sea. There are no honest men here. There is only might, and with might alone are fortunes made.

    The only authority within this locus of chaos is the brutal Patriarchy, a group of men who before all else hunt down witches, letting virtually all other crimes go unpunished.

    Aboard the privateer ship Antelope, the adventure of a young crewman named Eric begins. A target ripe for the plunder has been spotted, and the Antelope is poised to attack, but the series of events that has been set in motion is beyond imagination.

    Features of this game include:
  • Witches
  • Gender Bending
  • Possible Cannibalism
  • Schizophrenia
  • Title IX investigations
  • More witches!!
  • Battlestar Gallactica style not-swearing
  • Pirates
  • Instructions in the safe handling of explosives
  • Reading things
  • Mind control
For the one of you who played the VX demo, it may seem like I lost the plot. No, I was planning on it going this way the whole time.

SECTION D: SETTING AND/OR WORLD DEVELOPMENT
  • The geography is centered around a central sea with an island nation called "Tires" (I mentally pronounced it ty-res and it took a while before I noticed the spelling.)
  • There are several nation-states, but the central conflict is between a quasi-governmental Patriarchy and a rebellion of witches.
  • The conflict will be one of subterfuge. Characters will lie to each other often. The main character will eventually become a sort of double agent.
  • There will be a 'semi-branching' storyline.
  • The magic system is completely sexist. Only the women can use most magic, though men get "anti-magic" that blocks or reflects spells. Also, biological strength differences exist.
  • The aforementioned organizations are not exclusive to either gender.
  • That being said so far I've had the 'discovery' style where the characters are driving.

Hey, so what species are your raptors? Any of these?
... so here's my main characters running around inside "Headspace", a place people use as a safe place away from anxious/panic related thinking.
