Demonsgate

'Some advice, newcomer. There's a reason the lands of Demonsgate are so rife with things that interest people like you, despite the Guild’s best efforts. Everybody needs to eat—but just make sure you're the one doing the eating.'

This is an unofficial text-adventure, based in the Gloomhaven universe—more specifically, in Gloomhaven's sister city, Demonsgate. 

Following my work writing on Gloomhaven Digital, I found myself enamoured with Demonsgate, a new city and region of the world created for the game's Guildmaster Mode which I helped worldbuild. 

I then decided to create this text adventure Demonsgate as a way for myself and others to explore the region as I saw it in my head, taking inspiration from the seminal Fabled Lands gamebook series.

The work is still in a demo stage at the moment, which was used as a university assessment. I plan to add to it extensively in the future, between other projects.

It is written in the Ink narrative scripting language, and the web game runs through Calico, rather than Ink Editor's native engine. 

IMPORTANT:

Please see the in-game menu for content warnings. 

Options surrounded by X's (XLike ThisX) currently do not work, but are planned. 

My current priorities are polishing the 'Sloshed Squirrel' demo location with images, sound effects, improved combat text and a better UI experience. After that, I plan to focus on fleshing out the Crooked Bazaar and the New Financial District, followed by the next locations the main story involves (side locations will trickle in between new main story additions). 

However, please be aware this is a passion project—work will not be consistent nor timely.
