A Role to Play Build 0.04 - Text-message Roleplay and Murder


Howdy, folks! McSkinny here. It's been a minute, but here's a new build for A Role to Play. This build contains quite a bit more story-content than the average Echo-sized update. Additionally, we also got quite a few new pieces of art and music that hopefully make things a bit more polished. It's kind of amazing how much the bar has raised in recent years concerning how professional indie-VN's look.

This time, the gang gets into the full swing of their tabletop gaming, and the pressure is on to really get into character here. Getting used to roleplaying is always a little awkward at first. Some people treat it like writing personal fiction, while others see it more as taking on a different personality and becoming one with the character. For this update, I got in touch with my old D&D dungeon master and Corruption of Champions contributing writer, Donto, and he helped co-write those sections of the script. Sabre of Glory Hounds fame pitched-in quite a bit with editing, and Dendroid from the Echo discord was insanely helpful with some of the Ren'py scripting on the back-end.  So, special thanks to all of them!

Also, there's a bara lizard in this one. Check it out!

Just finished it and had a blast, it's so entertaining picking up how each person plays their role. The mannerism and actions they take and how much of them is actually shaped on their own characters, and the way the story slowly reveals these puzzle pieces around them, it just was super fun.

Seeing them bond out of game with their characters too was so wholesome, really excited to see how everything develops for them, thank you all for the experience.
