@WhereTheRiverEnds Those are all fantastic pursuits, and I can definitely see how turning your story into a game could be highly rewardingā€”and potentially lucrative. That said, itā€™s definitely tricky. The game would need a unique niche to stand out, but not so niche that it alienates potential players. Either way, adapting your story into a game sounds like an excellent way to bring it to life, much like how I express my own stories through poetry and drawing. It really makes the world feel more "lived in," if that makes sense.
          	  
          	  Iā€™ve always perceived your world as having a vibe similar to Castlevania, so I can definitely see why it would work well as an RPGā€”perhaps something indie-style like Undertale or the early Legend of Zelda games.
          	  
          	  That said, Iā€™d suggest tempering your expectations a bit. The gaming industry can be a tough space to break into, especially for larger-scale projects (though mobile games are a bit more forgiving since the standards there are lower). But I think itā€™s wonderful that youā€™re setting ambitious goals for yourself. Those aspirations can drive us to achieve more, even if we donā€™t quite hit every mark.
          	  
          	  Iā€™m glad to hear my story has been helpful for you in terms of story structure, though I assure you Iā€™m far from an expert! Mostly, Iā€™m just happy youā€™re back and staying productiveā€”not that Iā€™d ever oppose that. :)

Yeah. I decided i am going to stay on rpgmaker mv, and continue working on my game. But i could use rpgmaker to boost my wattpad story. And then i could do a chapter showing them all when theyre younger here, where the game would take place with everything, and then continue the story here on.
          	     It wont take many sales, even 80k and id be basically set to retire. Id be making more every 2 weeks, tax free from a tfsa i set up (hopefully) than if i worked, itā€™d just be if i wanted extra WANTS, and not NEEDS like paying bills/food etc. which is how i always wanna live lolol. Not even a full house, my side by side is heaven enough  but ye. I gotta get reading again, so your story will be a perfect one to get back entirely in how to structure things.
          	     
          	    Though i do still talk to myself like im writing the book when working, itā€™s always good to get fully back in the industry, in every way, and i havent read anything since being off here lolol.

@WhereTheRiverEnds tbf, almost every YouTuber, game developer, director, and studio have controversies and things we just can't agree with. The question then is if you are willing to still use it knowing that or if it's too much of a hindrance for you personally. 
          	  
          	  I'm glad you're wanting to go back. It's very quiet here. :>

Having seizures for the rest of my life now it seems lolol. 
            Got meds for it, but ye, sadly donā€™t think Iā€™ll be able to drink again  or take edibles. I still smoke a bit of weed though, but ye.  
             Hope youā€™re all able to do good :D 
            Iā€™m gonna be off for a month or so of work too, so gonna be tryna get to reading your stories and working on my writing :D

@Matt_Fantasy Thanks! And ye, all in time :D

@WhereTheRiverEnds I'm glad you're handling things well-ish at least. 
            
            As for writing, I've decided to set alarms for 3 hour sessions every Saturday. Otherwise, nothing will get done. I've had no energy to. You pursuing your writing in a game format sounds like a great way to take a break and perhaps gain a new perspective on the bigger picture for your narrative. Also, I agree with your sentiment. Having writers create offshoots of your original work (like, separate stories set in your world, like the countless star wars novels written by fans) feels like the greatest honor any other could receive, second only to your children continuing your writing legacy, like Tolkein's son. 
            
            Yes, we'll get there eventually.

Hope everyoneā€™s been able to do good :D 
             Itā€™s been an interesting week to look back on  But ye :D hope the best for yall again :p

@Matt_Fantasy Thanks :D I like to think the devil would have no strength over me ultimately, like the Doom Guy lolol. Just sheer mental strength/will. But ye.
               Hopefully things can stay the best for all of us, Gods got his plan for us all.

@WhereTheRiverEnds yes. I was really worried for you at your latest post a bit ago. Your emotional stability is something I have great respect for you for. It reminds me of the emotional stability of a character in my book who gave up his freewill to a devil, got it back, then has to live with the temptations the devil offered for eternity. The fact that they haven't lost their mind is a true sign of strength, and I think you provide a similar example of this (though less extreme).

Thanks. I have to think positive, cause itā€™s easy to fall back in the negatives sometimes :p

Ended up having a seizure today, or, more three in a row. Never had them before, feeling better now, but ye. Hope to get back active working on my story/reading all your stories :D best wishes everyone! 

WhereTheRiverEnds

@Matt_Fantasy Yeah, without my family though, thatā€™s the only way things could be worse imo :D

@WhereTheRiverEnds seems so. A shame you have to deal with that. :l

Going to be updating all chapters and sticking with present tense, for the story :D 
            Also have somewhat of an idea, about whatā€™s going to happen next! 
            I have a lot of the major plot points thought of, and how they roughly lead to one another, itā€™s just the between points, Iā€™m not entirely sure on. 
             But thatā€™s part of the fun of writing >:D 

WhereTheRiverEnds

Hope everyoneā€™s been doing as good as they can :D Iā€™ve recently given up dairy products and now my stomach is feeling way better, so my moods increased a lot. 

WhereTheRiverEnds

@Matt_Fantasy Yeah the weight thingā€™s about the only aspect I find positive lol. Iā€™ve been wanting to drop from 160ish to 120-130ish and well..I think Iā€™ll definitely manage it with this problem both happily and sadly lol.
                But Iā€™m pretty much available on all the platforms, insta, face, etc. :D 
               Jesse Roberts is my real name too for those. Or KolbRin_Real on insta I think. But ye. Cheers again :D

@WhereTheRiverEnds just pm me which one you want me to send it to, and I'll get back to you on it. Anyway I can help someone with IBS would be great. 
            
            Last thing: a doctor can't really test anything regarding IBS. All they can do is ask you questions to confirm if the symptoms are similar to standard IBS symptoms. That is something that you only need Google for. The only reason to go is to ensure it isn't being caused by something else, which as far as I've found, there is nothing similar besides crohn's disease, so it's worth testing for that at least.
