Path of martial arts: leaked sneak peaks, and discussing thread

What are you writing, again? 🤨🤨🤨🤨
It's a well known fact the first and most important interest in a writer's mind is introducing the reader to their political system of thoughts, their power fantasies, and then their fetishes, and lastly, the actual story, it's been that way since Gilgamesh wrote his self insert monarchist bara bl.
 
Niki also is college age

Yeah that I know - so am I. That's what I meant when I said we're about the same age give or take 1-2 years (early 20s). It's just that writing isn't my job and a hobby, and I have an almost full-time job in the creative sphere and am still in college as well, so when I decided to add even more stuff into the mix a lot of my free time disappeared.

The most important part is the power fantasy, Wish we got a bromance like Enkidu, Bro was a real one frfr. About 75% of Niki's fetishes match min, so the game is a 7.5/10, If it was 90% then the game would be 9/10. Most Cultivation authors possess the most horrendous racism fetish known to man, thankfully that's not Nicky.
 


Hey man you're the one who made it—so it should be you up there. And that's on top of making one of if not the most goated IF's available rn. How you manage to do all that with a full time job, wife and kids is beyond me.

But since you're here I wanted to ask you something - is there a platform/program you would recommend writing on? I mean like the actual game. Cause rn I'm doing it on VSCode with the Twine/SugarCube extension and while it's good enough, it doesn't have the Macros from Aurillian in there so it doesn't recognize them and floods the screen with warnings.

Do you write it all in one file or do you do text and code separately and then combine them? And where?

Thank you for your work in any case.

For the vs code errors, have you made a twee-config.yaml file for your widgets and macros?

No actually, no experience with Twine or Twee before I started porting my IF over there. Wouldn't I have to code in the macros myself that way or can I just find them somewhere in the Framework files? Cause the macros already exist and work, they're just not recognized by the extension.

Well yeah, tweego doesn't care so your application will work fine, the problem is vscode doesn't know your custom extensions by default and thinks they're mistakes if you don't specify them in the yaml file. I don't actually use the aurillian framework so I'm not sure how anon's workflow is unfortunately.

Yeah, pretty much what I thought. I'll have a look in the files for the macros anyway and plug em in the yaml file if I find them then. Thanks for the advice!

Wait, the yaml file doesn't need the macros themselves. You should be able to just check your errors and do something like this for each problematic widget:
sugarcube-2:
macros:
gold:
description: |
Handles both gaining and losing gold with a single command. Prints a message and prevents gold from dropping below 0.

**Examples:**
`<<gold 15>>` (Prints: Gold +15, adds to total)
`<<gold -5>>` (Prints: Gold -5, removes from total)
parameters:
- name: Amount
type: number

Or something like:
c:
type: any
 
Be honest


I get a feeling that content and author will biased towards those mc's who chose an alliance and picked a side

For those mc's who want to forge their own path and think they are THE MC of poma world and would crush anyone its just matter of time and voices in our head will guide our path to victory its doesn't look so good right ?

Also please tell that Dreamweaver is our ally or not considering game ends if we choose to accept his offer of remaining in dream forever

So far my non allied mc has learned tri dao by watching wu dad

Aura farmed by absorbing wisp

Helped ruo to heal yuang fang not because i support empire alliance but it was nice quest i want everyone in my debt

One more thing i would like to ask is should we tell wu dad about mc mom letter secret or not


Only reason in my current play through i am not telling wu dad about the letters content is because my mc claimed that he can fix wu dad half soul and make him a gigachad and my mc can aura farm in front of him saying gotcha i am the supreme

I don't want him killed before that tbh thats why

Any hint about whats better telling him or not telling him

Ps - these genz words are getting to me i used to have better English than this but somehow these words shorten what i mean to convey very conveniently and easily

I think telling chao about the lb and all will auto lock you to the empire or kill your dad considering he goes to yichen immediately to report
 
Well, we did just have a scene with Mei saying you should just be a mercenary and not pick a side. And get very good excuses to leave both the empire (life r*pe) and rogues (soul r*pe)

So it could indicate Nicky intends to make being neutral a valid option in the future. Maybe we could even take missions for both sides?

But yeah straight up "don't care." Wu heir's whose intentions are to ignore everything and just rely on their inner thoughts to get stronger? They might be getting a little less content. At that point can you blame Nicky tho

It’s so obvious how a neutral route could work. And it even makes lore sense. Where Wu Heir could forge their own path. Nah, it’s not like Niki could use memories and dreams for this. It could never work. So yes, relying on inner thoughts could unironically work..

I really hope™️ that what you're saying is true. Cause both paths have been horrendous in terms of long term consequences (at least on the surface).

Lichen is already losing + you literally give him an instakill button that we have no way of removing any time soon. Even if you kill him and take the turtle, that still leaves a goddamn turtle somewhere in the universe that someone can find and kill you with it.

LB is arguably a little better since:

A.) The apparent boosts she provides are way greater.

B.) The whole soulrape thing could not be as terminal or bad as it seems. Besides, unlike the turtle, it is only directly tied to her and there has been no indication that killing or disabling LB would do the same to you (but getting to that point is another problem entirely).

Always been a fan of neutral routes in games, especially since that's the one that makes most sense narratively, and because the Wu Goat is literally probably the only one who could pull something like that off. His physique is genuinely 'Others don't like you, Heavens don't like you, make em cry about it and become a God anyway'.

But so far Niki has been holding out on us neutral bros massively, with the new Chao Tri-Dao acquisition path being the only crumb he's given us. So far it seems that the best path is Get Tri-Dao from LB early on -> Be non-commital about everything -> Agree to protect Yue Fang to get the Void-Grade Manual soon -> Refuse to let LB soulrape you -> ???

Turtle?
 
If you're a pro empire player and aren't allied to any outsiders, Yichen gives you resources in exchange for binding your life to a small turtle. Essentially an instant kill button for you that's always accessible for him.

I dunno, I was actually thinking her boosts are rather mediocre compared to Yichen. Sure she said she'd give us the Qi necessary to do the chaos body thing and all that stuff about soul resistance, but she hasn't yet, it's too early to say those two spells will be way better than Tang Ruo supply line. LB should really stop stalling and give us stuff. I just want cool rocks to eat
