The fight is over....for now (Tyrus Q&A)

Post by Tyrus »

I interacted with a limited few people outside of trying (and mostly failing) to murder them but open for any and (probably?) All queries.

As a general note I love being part of building this world with you all and while it can at times be stressful it is a very rewarding experience. Thank you all for being part of this with us.

Shinsei was a beast, thanks for running the combats.

Haha Kujo and Akari gave me some purpose in the end game outside the main plot so I thank you for that.

Your combats were fun. Glad I was able to be part of them. Pretty much expected Kenji to die in the combat. So glad to be the one guy you got to murder.

Hats off to you for running combat smoothly and with interesting dynamics. A joy to participate in and observe. :) A shame I didn't get to interact with you outside of that, but you did a tremendous job, especially with running two combats at the end there!

Yeah, gotta add, all of the combats had neat elements to them, actual tactical choices to make beyond optimizing raw damage. Hats off for that!

Was the boss for fight one always going to be a wolf style beast, or did Yukara's backstory inform that boss design from the get-go?

I'm glad! Kujo had originally meant to be a whole npc but that fell through the cracks but I was glad to have a little chat with Ai to give him a bit of character before the fight and I'm glad it had such an impact on her!

I wore out most of that luck on the first couple days haha, not nearly as explosive during the last couple fights but oh well dice tell their stories! Thanks for being part of them!

Thank you for being in them! I did try to make them a bit more dynamic this game and I'm glad people liked that! I always want to be thinking of new things to add to make them more engaging though. Even the shinsei fight had things tied to it but in the background that affected the final fight.

The boss was always supposed to be corrupted animals, I think first iteration was a bear? But your backstory made it Wolves since that was a super easy tie in.

1. Hmmm it surprised me a bit how small things that were added for mostly flavor ended up affecting characters and/or changing their direction.
2. None really I mean the combat always throws me for a loop at times with how swingy it can be
3. Well referring back to first one I loved that Naraku being recognized for his efforts saving the villagers changed his entire character direction. Tai talking to Yamagato was a cozy bit of thread that got left hanging unfortunately.
4. As always with me just rp opportunity. Some stories hat could have been explored deeper if I was more active.
5. Not quite! But maybe a couple days lol

Were there some tricks and cool things you were eager to show that didn't come to be?

I'm thinking for example about how Effigy 1 felt like it had an ace up its sleeve before we change it into a roly-poly toy due to the dice having forsaken you for that fight.

It seems that you were a real workhorse with all the fights in the game, especially with the end game! I didn't take part but they seemed to run well, kudos to a job well done! I suppose I am wondering! What program did you use for the maps?

I did not spend time with your NPCs, and I did not join any fights.

Nevertheless, wow! So many fights this game, and they were all run superbly; hey, even if I didn't take part, that doesn't keep me from rubbernecking! Just wanted you to know that it was very impressive, and your hard work was seen!
