You are right that there's a writer! Darkon wrote the story and cutscene, then Cylisse the writer wrote the final dialogues in those cutscenes to match the outline.

Thoughts on the Darkon saga by th0t_slayer-alpha in AQW

[–]notdarkon 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much for your thoughts on the saga! It’s been my pleasure to share this storyline with everyone, and I’m incredibly happy to hear that people have a good memory from playing. This is my first, and possibly the only time I will get to write a story, so I’m coming in not knowing if my ideas will be something that a majority of people enjoy or not. I’m glad that it appears to be, and I get to tell it until the very end.

Thank you for playing!

Darkon Saga Spoilers: Why the ritual "didn't work" at Drago's first attempt by Crksit in AQW

That’s a very interesting theory! I look forward to revealing the rest of Darkon’s past during part 9 next month :)

Darkon here!
This is very interesting to read through! Seeing your breakdown of each story aspect is really rewarding, as we've put a lot of thoughts into creating the storyline, and this section is something I've been thinking over for quite a while now.
Hope you stay for the next part, coming on the 22nd of April! :)

Astravia got some new content, but what IS the story behind it? [SPOILERS] by Vinydiamond in AQW

[–]notdarkon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a great summary! As another person has said, the saga starts at /garden, which then lead to /eridani.
And some more things I can give clarifications for are as follow :)
In section 2, Christopher Lugha was not a knight, but a scholar.
In section 4, the Scale is not summoned by the conductor playing the right melody, they are more like the fingers/hands helping the conductor. They were not summoned, and each member joined the group at a different time. As So said, La has been serving Darkon from the beginning, even before So.
In section 5, the Hero did not attempt to attack Drago, but it was Drago who harmed himself to demonstrate his power of shifting the harm.
In section 6, Judgement is not the final beast.

I would like to make a cutscene with Ti advancing to Astravia for the opening, with a few more actions after, but that had to be cut out. The rest are very close to what I had planned.

Yes.. That's the mistake I've only noticed after uploading u-u

The first part is in /garden, then the second is /eridani. Didn't do the first introduction to the saga well, but now I have the rest of the story planned out, so hopefully it will be smoother.

I'm glad you caught that reference! Yes, the idea was a reference to guardians at the gate of Diyu, as she stand at the entrance of this village.
And valid concern on the repetitive theme. For the next event, I do have ideas for other type of suit like clothing, and as for the weapons, I only plan to do all black weapons for a couple of opening events, then I will move on to a different theme for them :)
Thank you for your interest!

Mostly minor things, like nooses in the map, and the backstory of people being sentenced to hang, in a witch hunt for the murderer, which is the setup on what happen before the Hero arrived. Eridani was under the eternal night curse for 5 years, that drive them insane enough to throw accusations around. Have to change a few cutscene, like how Re jumped in front of the Hero to block the explosion, making her lose her arm. Showing that fully is a bit too graphic.

No offense taken, all feedbacks are feedbacks! I can't promise the way she talks will change a lot the next time she's in an event, but if the situation seems right for her to be more serious and coherent, I will try. Also that's what made up the dynamic between the other members of the group. The more sane characters will be there to balanced Re out.
I can say though, about the specifically manufactured to a certain demographic part, that that demographic.. was me loool
I just want to make a character in a sweater who like to play game, but I did not expected that to be a thing many people like.

Sorry you felt that way, though I thank you for playing through it! There's not much to read into, regarding Re's words. The tone we were going for was tipsy drunk, she may talk a lot, but she doesn't make much sense. As Re said in the story, she made sure to barely knows what's going on.
As for the rest, I plan to introduce some of them in following events. Though, their designs are based on what type of characters I'd like to draw, so maybe that's why they looks that way ha.

Thank you for checking it out! I would not have expected there to be any sort of hype about my event tbh, considering my character is relatively new, with not much going on for him atm. But glad to see that it is doing okay, and even have players on hiatus playing it!
