The Spirit's Essence project;
Is a project created and set up by Erik ( me ), it is the creation of a visual novel based on a selfmade story.
The story so far consists of 40,000 words and counting.
Please note before reading further this is all W.I.P., what you read here could be subject to change.
This is in the idea stage, I am continuing the writing of the story.
I will showcase some artwork (which I paid an artist to do).
The story is about a god who creates the world and find many hardships( trust, greed, interactions) which aim to open his eyes.
Showing that although he has godly powers, there are somethings a god cannot do / change.
You are that very god, it is up to you to decide who to trust, who to kill, what to do!
The main idea of the story so far is:
You are the god, the world is following a chain of events the ending (how the world will end up) will be based on your actions.
During this journey you will encounter many hardships as mentioned above but also that other characters in the game will do actions based on what they find good.
There will be a war, I am not sure how I plan to achieve combat ( I am thinking about turn based combat )
I got to see how I can implement that into renpy ( I am a programmer but haven't gotten much time to use ren'py, I made a Javascript Visual Novel engine though not fully completed).
During a war you will be especially busy, busy in terms of you got to pay attention to what other characters do.
you get to answer these kind of questions:
Can you predict the other characters movement?
Who will you trust?
Are your servants loyal?
Could you be ambushed?
Will your army be victorious?
Who to attack ?
Is your wife devoted to you?
There will be several endings:
Purgation ending: Eritsune's army is victorious in conquering and killing all hostiles.
Demon ending: Eritsune failed to kill the demons / humans failed to kill the demons demons take over the world.
Wife ending: Eritsune dies, but his wife takes over the command of the army and in rage kills everyone ( similar to purgation but you die here)
Peaceful ending: Eritsune makes peace with every faction
Protagonist:
Eritsune: ( no artwork currently)
Age:15 initial later 28
Race: God
(hybrid of angels and elves)
personality:
Arrogant
selfcentered
Eritsune is the god of the world, he is everything nothing really cares him much he likes life.
He created the his own race( Winged Sylvari) to be worshipped by people.
Although he has godly powers Eritsune is not immortal.
Preview:
Earth, great oceans turning into roaring rivers that reach far beyond the mortal plains, into the mountains that dare reach the cloud.
That was on his mind when the world was created.
He who created the planet earth, Eritsune, god of Earth.
Eritsune created a race similar to him, his kinsmen, with the power to cast magic, enhancing their bodies, granting it wings and tall ears to hear from afar.
Unique to the Winged Sylvari was that every Sylvari is born without wings; young ones have to earn their wings as they grow up.
I place this post in the idea section because I want to see what kind of feedback I will receive.
Please give me criticism if something you find wrong or bad or not a good idea.
Based on the feedback I receive I will decide wether to continue or not ( please note the Light novel will continue regardless)
That is what this post is for after all haha.

There is a member section where you need to sign up to see something only members can see ( it is more artwork, nothing 18+)
The Team:
