Alrighty, sorry for being a lot less online and on the discord than I usually am, but between summer family travels and massive amounts of rain leading to a small flood and water damage in our house (have had to move so much stuff, and deal with the insurance company, ugh) I've been all out of social interactions.
Thank you so much for your support, and hopefully things will calm down soon. Got another project coming out in a few weeks too, and once that is done that will free up more t...

Alrighty, the combined puppet demo is still a patchwork since there are so many paths to connect. So it is not finished yet, but here is an excerpts from the 3.1 path side of the demo. This is where Mortum had Sky-Raider break the puppet with broken legs out from the hospital. It's not from the start, but from somewhere in the middle. As always, the code lacks a lot of choices, what the puppet and Dr. Mortum are to each other, and paths, but it's a little peek. Thank you for your patience...

Well, vacation has turned hectic as we have discovered mold in our house (which is half underground, so...) and has needed to deal with that. And the rain just keeps pouring down, in addition to both me and my partner catching a cold. Fun. Still, here comes this month's lore post from Lady Argent's perspective! Hope you enjoy a rare look inside her head. Apologies for being little on discord right now, just need to deal with real life first!

Well, Pride month is here, and so is Breaks volume 2. If you fancy reading my comics writing, here is where you can order it from the publisher, though it should appear at a bookstore near you. Hopefully.

Alright! Time for this month's lore post. This time we are delving into the fallout between Chen and Ortega after the reveal of Sidestep's autopsy. This takes place early in Revelations, and will be repurposed as a scene in some paths where Sidestep still has enough of a relationship with either of them to be a part of this. If that doesn't happen, something like this might go down...
Enjoy!

There are certain villains who forged Sidestep into the person they are today. How does Sidestep rank in their minds?
Well, of the ones that are still alive I don't think they are really taking Sidestep seriously. Or, well, took them ser...

Well, as some of you might have noticed, I have not been very much online for the last few weeks or so. Well, for a while now my computer has been breaking down. It has made it very annoying to work on, finally breaking down entirely. I've spent a lot of time trying to fix the issue, but the sad truth these days seems to be that laptops just aren't reparable anymore, especially when it comes to physical parts. Not even professionals seems to want to do shit, apart from "oh we'll keep it for a...

Well, thanks to a timely placed nightmare this morning I realized exactly what it is that has been bothering me about the puppetstuck path. So, history time.
Back when I was writing Fallen Hero as a book (working title a supervillain writing experiment) back in the Livejournal days, this was the point where I ran headfirst into a brick wall. Until then, everything had flowed great, but at the point when our antihero (named Cyrus back then) got stuck inside Yasmin's body (the puppet's na...

Well, a change of pace. I have grown increasingly frustrated with my "voice" in the puppetstuck path, so instead of banging my head against the wall there you get a bit of extended/reworked Innocent Sidestep stuck at the Farm content. As always, missing choices, one path etc.
Hopefully I can figure out what bugs me about the puppet headspace soon so I can bat it into shape. Maybe it is just that I am in too melancholy mindset. It might be that simple.
Anyways...

Alright, a little late. Is working on the other two updates, will hopefully get them out this weekend. The puppet path is currently a massive puzzle spread across the floor pieces everywhere, but I'll pull together a coherent snippet to post so you can see where some of it is going. I am having fun with it, just struggling with certain aspects, second guessing myself what I want to reveal early. Timing is always the trick when it comes to these things.

Well, we are here now, and it is time for the open demo for Fallen Hero: Revelations, path 4.2.
I've gone over the closed one, fixed bugs, adjusted the character creator, and corrected some spelling and grammar. Enjoy! This is open now, so feel free to share with friends.
This demo follows path 4.2, with a Sidestep who is still in their own body, with a puppet stuck in the hospital. They are free and healthy, not revealed and with no broken legs. Living their best life, in fact. A...

Sitting here cleaning up the demo for public release later today, but I just thought I'd plug this wonderful Fallen Hero mug made and sold by Eydika with my permission. It just made me chuckle, and I pressed the buy button immediately. Also, Eydika would like it known that the idea originally was Anjie's.

Easter is upon us, so running slightly later than normal, apologies!
This month's lore post features Dr. Mortum and Sky-Raider, for the story, Dr. Mortum and the puppet are both women. Easier with pronouns that way.

Well, I am working on path 4.2, which is in truly in a patchwork shape right now. But there is enough finished on this particular path where you decide to pay a quiet little visit to Hollow Ground (no fear, there are many less quiet or friendly options too). As always, not finished, no stats, more options to be coming. Just thought you might enjoy having a little chat with the kingpin himself. About 8800 words.

Los Diablos - 2019
The city was thick with fog, the shadow of the new bridge crossing it like a cut throat in the distance. Iris closed her eyes and breathed deeply, smog and mist coiling in her chest. The city was a distant white noise, the new reclamation project a resurrected corpse being brought back to life around her. It was to be the latest jewel in Los Diablos crown, restoring the last of the central ruins to truly modern standards. A rebirth, of sorts.

I apologise if this has been asked before but is the same sniper that shoots at MC and Ortega after the HG encounter the same sniper that took a shot at Chen? is there any correlation there at all or are they mutually exclusive events?

Now he’s waiting quietly for those mistakes to catch up with him. Ian Tanner coasts through life denying the spark of anger beneath his laid back exterior. When school politics and personal lives become a battleground, the pair find that what they share may just be their only safe haven. Breaks is the story ...
