So how do you like your backstory?
i prefer my backstory out of the way. seriously i try as much as possible to cram that stuff into VIRTUAL BOOKSHELF and i don't regard expository history as something a player should have to sit through when that time could be better used for characterization.

Having given up on recording anymore of Eternal Paradise due to lack of funds (Grinding doesn't help either, funds just get put into healing again >.>) I'm gonna actually try and start mapping out the first few floors of the tower in my game.
when a player has no more funds you should flash "INSUFFICIENT FUNDS" across the screen in green 16pt courier
DOING IT! - WEEK TWELVE - Dialogue
it's pretty time-consuming to address and give everyone detailed critique, so i'll try it with one person who hasn't had a comment for now.
this bit seems prone to exposition. especially the kind of exposition where someone tells someone else (or themselves) something they already know. the Three Magus Champions know they're the Three Magus Champions, and they also know that Alexander Steinburge is their hero. you need to find another way to tell the player this information without falling into this trap.
without really knowing what exactly is impossible or what is really going on, i'll give you an example. feel free to lift any or none of this dialogue if you so choose.
setup: the president (lucius) and the vice president (altair) of a certain country return to lucius's office after negotiations with a neighbor to buy the rights to produce a very powerful machine break down. this scene doesn't need too much context, unlike a lot of scenes in this game's script.

*Black Screen*"Th-This is impossible!"
*Screen Fades to show the main Antagonist, the Three Magus, and some dead guys. Oh, and it's raining.*
Azure Magus: "We, the Three Magus Champions, and a handful of the Knights of The Savior, were so easily defeated... Who are you?"
Crimson Magus: "No, WHAT are you!"
???(Antagonist): " I am an anomaly, an existing enigma seeking answers to such questions."
???: "However, I must put my search on hold and continue with my plans now after dominating what I thought would be of great obstacle to me."
Crimson Magus: "You may kill us here, but know this: Alexander Steinburge will find you and rid the land of you!"
???: "Alexander Steinburge, your land's hero? To have such blind faith in a young man, and here I thought only the young were naive."
???: "Oh, and don't worry, I am not going to kill you. Why waste your powers when I can use it at my disposal?"
Azure Magus: "You mean to use us? Absurd!"
???: "Yes! It is quite absurd, but it will happen nonetheless! Come, gentlemen, we have a world to destroy."
*Screen Fades to Black*

"Impossible!"
???: Seems the Magus Champions and the Knights of the Savior need new, more fitting names. You certainly didn't win or save anyone.
Azure Magus: Who are you?
???: I am simply an anomaly seeking answers to some of the questions I have. Consider yourselves lucky you weren't strong enough to waste much of my time.
Crimson Magus: Anomalies are doomed to be crushed! Steinburge will slay you right where you stand!
???: You mean Alexander Steinburge? He's your hero? What faith old men have in a boy, a child barely out of the womb. Such uninformed hero worship! Truly, we are all adolescent at heart.
Crimson Magus: Even if you kill us here, that man will make sure you never walk this land again!
???: Oh, I don't plan to kill you. I don't waste talent.

Altair: Unfathomable!
Lucius: Altair, calm down.
Altair: Those freak-show centerpieces think they can just play us for fools! We can have five artillery units shelling their capital into rubble in six hours!
Altair: {Pause} Six hours, Lucius.
Altair: {Pause} Why are you laughing?
Lucius: Altair, Altair, Altair. The difference between you and I is that you actually expected them to play fair!
Altair: I don't want to hear any scolding from you.
Lucius: Altair, did you learn nothing from that Paper-gate nonsense that almost took us down last election? Your opponents never play fair. Never.
Altair: You knew?
Lucius: From the moment Charloise told me he wasn't coming himself.
Altair: Well, you could have given me a hint before our audition for their absurd charade.
Lucius: What could I have said?
Altair: You didn't have to be so...saccharine. You even gave that unfortunate woman per diem when you should have declared her persona non grata and had her thrown from the Lundmark cliffs.
Lucius: Absolutely not. Charloise would never talk to me again. I can't afford it.
Lucius: {Pause} Have you calmed down yet?
Altair: A bit.
Lucius: Now, listen closely. I expect Charloise to keep the blueprints as close to his chest as possible. It is, after all, revolutionary technology. Revolutionary as it is, I will call him and resort to a haggle.
Altair: What do you have planned?
Lucius: I'll handle it. Okay?
Altair: Right. I'm going to turn in for the night.
Lucius: See you.
Altair: {Pause} You know, Lucius?
Lucius: Yes?
Altair: You might not come on so...strong next time. We're not radio pitchmen.
Lucius: Altair, calm down.

Raped after death.

try this
#body

note: angela has an unlockable meter skill called duragraha (as a character foil to corvallis i think it makes sense)
i will admit i don't know much about gandhi other than what i've read so it probably doesn't hit on the exact meaning. like i doubt gandhi would advocate beating small animals into submission so that other people can kill them.
it's all a way for corvallis to preserve the cognitive dissonance he has about the act of killing, which really makes him no different from any other character, including angela. they all have their justifications (they're just animals, i only hunt, how else am i going to survive, etc)

Alcarys Complex
angela's very vulgar - to the point where certain other people in the game notice and question her about it. but i made sure to have none of the main or minor story characters actually swear (the closest corvallis gets to any swear word is 'heck') to contrast angela with everyone else. there's a reason for her profanity, i promise!
as far as the world goes, that's my fault. this demo starts at scene 9 in the script. scenes 1-8 contain dialogue that describes the state of the world. these scenes are pretty story-heavy, and i wanted to get people right into the battle system, so i cut them for the demo. maybe this was a mistake.
