Entry into EndMaster's 2024 Prompt Contest! 

The Faceless Knights uphold divine law, crushing mutation and degeneracy whenever they encounter it. When the young lord of a recently-conquered territory calls for a true servant of God, you must answer. 

A short, silly, high-octane ride through a cyberpunk future where your bullets are few, your friends are fewer, and the long tentacles of the law are slithering up your pant legs. 

I am aware that technically, writing a sentence in all capital letters is gramatically incorrect. I did this on purpose, several times, for stylistic effect. If you point this out in the reviews, a team of hit-apes will kick in your door. 

Winner of EndMaster's 2020-2021 Grimdark Contest!

Take the role of Lord Winter, an aspiring sorcerer and the scion of a noble line that has fallen into obscurity. 

Contains scenes of intense gore, brutality, and sexual violence.

"Death is struck and nature quaking;
All creation is awaking,
To its Judge an answer making.
Lo, the book, exactly worded,
Wherein all hath been recorded;
Thence shall judgment be awarded.
When the Judge His seat attaineth,
And each hidden deed arraigneth,
Nothing unavenged remaineth."

-- Dies Irae

Ultimately, the fate of life is to destroy itself.

this is so fucking stupid

@NinaAndZane43208 I'm not sure if you're fucktard's alt or if you go to the same school but a great way to look like a sock puppet account is to post in the same thread where your comrade got violated and be like. What happened here?? 

bros pussy is wet 

 It's only halfway out you can't really tell 

Hey your game is looking really really bad, you should not post it 

I'm comparing you to a fucking botched abortion half out the snatch and dangling in the wind 

@EndMaster Darius just suggested that you're a faggot for tagging yourself, are you just gonna take that?

Yeah this show rocked. I liked it way more than any of the Bethesda Fallouts, loved all the NV references.

It's interesting people are mad at the Mojave seemingly getting peckersmacked when the Vegas DLCs kind of imply that the Mojave is fucked because of the Tunnelers. Ulysses seems to think that it's only a matter of time before the Strip becomes a buffet for weird underground lizard guys 

You're the biggest faggot any of us know, so End was consulting you for your expertise 

I would LOVE to co author your game 

The best way to make your game feel interactive is to give the audience the chance to meaningfully develop the protagonist in different and mutually exclusive ways. A story, basically, is the process by which a character becomes a different person. This has been almost all stories, since we started telling them. The Epic of Gilgamesh is one of the first written documents available to us (relatively speaking) -- it's about a gigachad demigod who learns to stop stealing people's wives and accept his own mortality. A story requires change in its protagonist otherwise it sucks fucking ass.  

In the medium of interactive fiction, the audience gets to choose what path the character takes, obviously. What that really means is they get to pick between two stories. From Paragraph 1, we have learned that a story is really just a journey a character goes on that changes them in some way. So a meaningful choice should offer the player the ability to set the protagonist off on completely different directions; they should be doing different stuff, and becoming a different kind of person. These options must be different from each other, so as not to bore the audience with recycled content, and they need to be mutually exclusive. That means that the possibilities offered by one choice must be closed off forever to the protagonist - that's what gives the choice weight and meaning. You should read Eternal by EndMaster for a really textbook and excellent execution of what I'm talking about here; the protagonist of Eternal is a radically different kind of character at the end of every ending.
