This is already a joy so far. I adore both brothers and look forward to more with the RO's...particularly Helios and Fynn. I really hope to see this continued. <3
Amazing work. Really amazing. It has a really interesting world and even more interesting characters. And since I'm something of a masochist myself is perfect because I will suffer not knowing when it will be completed. But good things happen to those who wait so... patience. I wanted to ask, I have had a story in my head for some time and finally I found Twine, a tool that will help me giving it shape. The problem is that a have the coding and programming skills of boomer. Where can I find information about it? A video, document, anything. Thank you, and wish you all the luck in the world in both your personal life as in the writer one.
P.S: When you said that some romances were controversial, you don't mean... My brothers did you? If so you're evil... And I like it >:)
Hi thanks so much for the kind words. Before I go into talking about resources, I'll kindly confirm that your brothers are NOT romantic options (LOL) everyone else is far game :)
I understand how daunting it starting up. I'm self taught and very much a beginner in twine and coding, but I'll do my best!
Now for Twine resources, it does depend on which story format you wish to work with. Twine has about 5 different formats to choose from: Harlowe (the default), Sugarcube (which TSR runs on), Snowman, and Chapbook. Each format has it's advantages and disadvantages, but I personally use Sugarcube because my favourite IFs use it (haha) and it's has quite a few resources online. I cant speak for the other formats because I don't use them. But Chapel has an amazing breakdown on everything for twine and makes great plugin/macros for authors.
If you haven't created an account already, I do recommend creating a tumblr. Tumblr has a very large and supportive community over there with a lot of authors provided their own coding knowledge and resources to help out those just starting out. You'll be able to promote the game/story even before you're able to release it, so it's great for building a community as well. If you do decide on working in Sugarcube, I'll be more than happy to help out. You can always ask me a question over on Tumblr, where I am most active or you can toss me your discord on tumblr if you want something more private.
The hardest part is starting out, but anyone can do it!!! I am more of a visual artist before I am a writer or a coder, so it can be done!
Thank you so much Lili, for answering, it just like you say, it's very hard to start and being oblivious to coding doesn't help. At all. And you're kind enough to offer your help which you'll come to regret in the near future because I will ask. A lot. Its very hard to have a story, a world and characters in my head and not give them shape with words. I actually wanted to make a visual novel with the story i have but due to certain factors in my life, including the drawing skills of a neanderthal, I can't. But Twine is the perfect alternative. Thank you again for showing me the way. You're my personal Gandalf lol.
P.S: No romance with siblings? You're not evil... And I don't like it 😒 (jk)
No problem! The struggle is real and getting the ball rolling is the hardest part! I wanted to try making VN myself, but I was scared of all the coding and Twine is much friendly alternative for someone who's completely new to the programming/coding scene.
Good luck! I'm here if you need me. Just take everything one step at a time <3
Ps. I think I am plenty evil...we just haven't gotten there yet :)
Thanks for the update. The story and all the characters have me fully enthralled. My favorite character is our oldest brother. God, that guy went through a lot. I want to hug him so bad, and my MC will say that everything is going to be okay. Sieghardt—I don't mind him, even though he's distant. Everyone has a different way of coping, and that's his coping mechanism. And the Empress—what a shame! I like her character, and my MC treats her as a mother figure; she's going to be missed. Overall, LIs and other supporting characters have flaws like real people and unique personalities; it's rare for me to feel this kind of attachment to the IF genre. I will definitely keep my eyes on this gem. For our dear author, would you mind giving us more hints or details about the unrequited love warning in the LI section? I'm kind of afraid because when I pursue a LI, I want them to have a fully proper route, not just a fling. Personally, I can handle other issues, except that LI rejects our love when we actively pursue them, so spare us the heartache, please.
And for you guys, read the disclaimer about this game before you play; the genre is dark fantasy and medieval, and if you know historically how the aristocrats lived, you will know the gist of it. We all have our preferences and our limits, and that’s okay. If you don't like it or get triggered, drop the story and move on. Don't bring the vibe down in the comment sections.
Loving this a lot so far, and interested to discover why we get the ring over our older siblings. Also, I really shouldn't as enthusiastic as I am about the 'controversial' ROs, but heck it, bring 'em on! :D
Quite an atmospheric story, I'm looking forward to fighting scary demons and babadook spooks. Who cares about a ring, the squirrel ... I must have it ... give it to me ... NOW.

Thanks. Will do.
P.S: O_O I'm actually scared now.
Aahh I think I'm too intrigued by Medea especially already...
Excited for more! Promising start.
You really got those first acts perfect. I truly immersed myself in a kid way in over his head. Great writing, hope you continue.
ANYTHING MY BROTHERS SAYS GOES (hi yes I love this and I adore our brothers sm)
dat feel when a dm forced you to roll dice just to mess with your character and you rolled a natural 1
"You had wet the bed again."
okay...
Bruv not gonna lie. Looks very cool
Ah! This update was excellent, and also very emotional. Great job! Can't wait to hear more.
Let's go so excited
Just read the update and Jesus this kid can't catch a break 🤦🏻♀️ writing was so good it depressed the hell out of me for him.
Edit: Helios's description made me chuckle 🤣
