If your novel/comic was a video game, what would be your loading screen tips?

[DavidPerry]

• If you see someone walking around Moonblush, talk to them! Townsfolk see a lot of strange things, and they love to talk about it.

• Earning money is easy with side quests. See someone mowing their lawn? Offer to finish it for them!

• Remember not to spend too much time in the Dark Garden. If you start to see new forest growth, get out before you're charmed!

• If you need health, you can use Opal to fast travel back to Old Moonblush for a bite to eat at the Ubermunch Junk Food Emporium, Big Figaro's Pizzarrhea, or any of the many restaurants across town.

• Want to finish your map of Nightdrift County quick? Head to Mount Skyladder and try your hand at climbing for a bird's eye view! But be careful--your endurance will sink fast, so bring plenty of camping gear. You're in it for the long haul!

• Be wary of raccoons in Brookwood Forest. They'll make off with all your food and camping gear if you camp in the wrong place!

• Lost in Mark Aldo's hedge maze? Look closely at the lanterns.

• Playing as Ava Baker allows you to instantly fast travel, so consider using her to gather information quickly from across Nightdrift County. But don't run Opal ragged, or she'll ignore your whistles for a while.

This Is actually written like a legitimate loading screen, I love it. And now I'm very intrigued by what your comic is all about

[DavidPerry]

Haha, you know so much of this has either barely been touched in the comic or hasn't really been explored just yet. But after the current story arc of The Dreaming Tree, I plan to do a series of much shorter stories that show the kids actually going to many of the places around Moonblush Village and beyond.

The world is pretty well set in my head, it's just that the current story requires a lot of time in Brookwood Forest.

Considering I'm creating a visual novel for CS right now, I might actually use some of these tips in the loading screen tbh.

• While playing as Ronig, there are a number of villagers on Pyll'ar Island that you can speak to. The more you learn the Lasochy’an language, the more you can better understand them.

• While playing as Roxy, you can pick up new and unique crafting recipes as you go.You can find new recipes by interacting with NPCs and by stumbling upon them as you search.

• Be aware that you can be killed during a nightmare. The Dusk prowlers aren't the only things that lurk at night!

• Warning: It's always safest to return to the Nethercity before sunset. Otherworldly abominations can end you if you're not careful.

That's a really cool idea. I think mine would have to be:

• Remember, you can share your inspiration with your party members!
• You only NEED one set of dice to play TTRPGs, but is that what you WANT?
• Never feed the Games Master.
• Always make the players think you know what you're doing (especially if you don't).
• Shapeshifters are the best. Period.
• Players will always adopt goblins. Accept this fact and make room for it in your story.

I've only just started posting, but I plan to update every Mon - Fri!
