WAIT IT’S ONLY BEEN LIKE A YEAR SINCE I LAST UPDATED THIS BLOG????????????? WHAT THE FUCK??

Howdy

Does anyone honestly use tumblr all that often anymore? It’s been ages since I’ve updated this project blog and since I’ve picked up the project again (after like, 3 reboots since last posting) I could revamp this blog to keep up with progress.

However, there’d be no point in updating the blog if no one’ll look at it. For now I just occasionally talk about this project on my twitter (MariusDraws) but that’s among other things and there’s no real sorting to it.

So uh,, interact with this post I suppose if y’all would like to hear what’s up

Formatting Update

Whilst this story has been referred to as a comic since inception, it is more likely that the story will be published as a video game since that coincides with my intended career field and fixes some pacing and current plot issues. Another update will be posted when formatting is confirmed.

Formatting Update: Conclusion

We’re officially making WHIR into a video game! The story structure will be reminiscent of modern choice-based games like Life is Strange and Detroit: Become Human, but the concrete gameplay mechanics will be more along the lines of games like Dishonored.

There will be no quick time events in my good christian household.

I will be adding a section to the About tab on the blog going more in-depth on the gameplay mechanics and structure, but the basics are as such:

-The game has multiple endings, and the endings are dependent on many different variables. The difficulty settings not only affect combat and investigation, but also how aware the player will be of changes to these variables.

-The “true ending” is dependent on not only getting the best ending through the gameplay variables, but also the collectable Tarot Cards throughout the game that coincide with certain events and characters.

-The game will be played through multiple POVs, but mainly Demarcus and Mortimer’s POVs. The gameplay style depends on the POV being played. For example, Demarcus is mainly investigative while Mortimer is stealth-based.

-Astrology is a big theme in the game, so if you’re stuck you can always check your horoscope for a hint.

A Shitty Synopsis

I’m too tired to right a thourough synopsis right now but the lowdown on the plot is Monster High mixed with L.A. Noire, but significantly gayer and with a lot more murder.
