4.2 - Hirelings

Alright, not enough for a full demo yet, but here's 17 530 words of code for the new path. This is the ending where you had everything under control, your puppet might be in the hospital but you are free, and getting ready to deal with Hollow Ground.


As always, this is not complete, stats and options are missing, and some stuff will be extended. Just thought you'd enjoy seeing what a rough draft looks like while you are waiting for the demo.

Escape - Reprise

This month's lore post crawled into my mind and refused to let go. Some select portions from Sidestep's second escape from the Farm.

---

Can't run. Not yet. Gravel biting into elbows, every move a painful repetition of the last. Heave. Pull. Stay still. Crawling is easy for the first few hundred yards; after that, it becomes a chore. Then, the chore becomes pain. Becomes torture. And yet you keep doing it. Like a finger in the candle flame, so easy at first, increasingly ...

December QnA

Well, a little bit late, but trying to catch up! Got some things bubbling behind the scenes which has been needing editing and proofing, which will reach retailers this spring! But more about that later... time for some answers:


I was wondering, could president of USA end the activities of the Farm? Of course, whether they *would* is another question, but do they have political power to do so? Thanks for your answer! And I too hope year 2024 gets better!

Public FH: Revelations demo 1.2

The new open demo for Fallen Hero: Revelations have arrived!

So what is on this one? It is the  full demo of the start of path 1.2, with Dr. Mortum's path added, continuing from the Sky-Raider rescue. So now path 1.2 is done, and I will switch to a new entry point entirely for the next demo. Maybe I'll let people vote which one they want.

What is new?

November QnA is up!


Does Argent resent her nanovores for disfiguring and disabling her so badly? Would she be able to control them better after she is healed if that is no longer an issue? 

She would say no, but yeah, deep down she does. And I honestly don't know if it will get better or worse.

 

If Sidestep reveals themself to Mortum as the Puppet first, why don't they try reading their mind after meeting in their own body?

The Void 9 - Postscript.

The sun ascends like an earthquake, the sky vibrating with effort to hold back the rays. No clouds today. Would it be better or worse if there was? Would they add a vibrato to the imaginary baseline? A promise of escalation? Growing thunderheads flattening against unseen limits, turning the light... Breathe. No need to remember. You rest your forehead against the fencepost. Warm. Slightly rough. Some hairs are stuck there, and for a moment you have a flash of murder but there's no blood and i...

Next demo subject question!

What demo path do you want next? No guarantee I'll write it, but it will be more likely! It is all stuck in MC, saving the puppet content for a second.

LD Conspiracy Theories

So, a while back I got a request about what kind of conspiracy theories that would thrive in a place like Los Diablos. At the time, I said that question was too big for a QnA and promised a future lore post, so here it is.

First, we need to preface this with saying that there are a LOT of conspiracy theories in our own world that are downright fascist, racist or sexist. Things used to justify violence or suppression, trying to rationalize personal fears and hatreds as being based in som...

Spooky season has arrived, feel free to ask me anything of interest when it comes to game stuff, planning stuff, writing and more. The demo will go public on Nov 1, and the answer to this QnA will come out a few days later (usually around the fifth or so), so if you want to be unspoilt make sure not to read too closely into some questions asked here...

Haunted

Daniel's POV is a slightly different variant this time. Instead of seeing an event in the game through his eyes, this time we will re-examine another Lore post. Why? Because it's interesting, because Daniel's thoughts are rather open in game, and because it's soon Halloween.

I suggest re-reading this post first: "West Coast Mysteries and Murders, season 2."  View Post

Time to get this month's lore post written...

I've been very busy since the demo came out, working and editing on another project. I'll go back to  fixing bugs and working on next demo soon, but I need to finish off my part of this other project first so I can hand it off to my writing partner (it is ttrpg related). That's why I have stayed off discord, it really sucks my productivity when I need to do anything but Fallen Hero. I'll be back in a few days.

However, today I woke up in the mood to write this month's lore post, an...

Revelations Demo Early Access!

So, as we approach Halloween, it is time to dive into the first Fallen Hero: Revelations demo.

Before we start, there are some things you NEED to know.

1: This is a demo for ONE of the ending paths. The guilty one, where you are stuck in the hospital with broken legs and Dr. Mortum did NOT break you out. Other demos will follow other starting paths, until eventually all of them fuse into one.

2: The character creator is limited to things I am using in this d...

September questions answered!

But first, an update!

Working on the first demo for Revelations, it will follow the path of the Guilty revealed Sidestep stuck in the hospital, since that is one of the more complex paths. The plan is to get it up this month!

This month's lore post will be Danny POV, and we will be delving into some West Coast Mysteries stuff in honor of the season.

1.1.4 Good For You

Path 1.1.4

(3875 words of Ranch broken legs ending with solo Ortega friend or romance. Sappy Sidestep opening up. Once again, this was written in one sitting, first draft, no variables, no choices, no personality, no grammar checking. Will probably be changed a lot, I just needed to get it out there.)

An Awkward Conversation (Chen POV)

A small one from Chen's POV, this is in the path where you try to convince Captain Blaze that he's on the wrong side, he tackles you through the window, and you let yourself plummet to your doom.

Truth Hurts (Dr. Mortum POV)

Inner monologue translated from French. Partner is sick as a dog after traveling and I am dealing with jetlag so forgive the lateness of this. At least two different tests are covid negative si it's probably some other bug)
