Greenwood's Tears [SP/MP Campaign]

[KameRamen]

This is the development thread for the currently in-progress campaign Greenwood's Tears.

GitHub repository: <https://github.com/aloneTurtle/Greenwoods_Tears>

In his wanderings through the Far North, an elvish rogue, Arwen, encounters a girl from his former people. He makes an unforeseen return to Greenwood, but around the same, turmoil threatens to shatter the quiet of the High Elves.

(Novice level, 4 scenarios of 8 completed.)

The protagonist is an elf, but the only ones you can recruit are basically outlaws. It chronicles the history of the Far North after SotBE, also introducing mainline characters such as Kalenz and Mal Keshar.

Note: I have not yet tested the balancing in multiplayer mode.

All feedback is welcome. The plot is fairly solid, but some character lines and details may have weak points.

Hi, I just played the current 4 scenario version with a friend yesterday. As we ran out of 2-player coop campaigns to play we're looking forward to it getting finished.
Some feedback so far:
The story is solid. The dialogs have some spelling and grammar mistakes, easily fixable with an LLM.
We played on the hardest setting. The difficulty is mostly fine, but the 4th scenario was to easy because with some distraction of the opponents one could easily "frontrun" the attackers and reach the elvish castle....

Thanks for playing and for your feedback!
I plan to fix the spelling/grammar mistakes in stages. I might ask someone skilled in prose to help with proofreading. In any case, yes, it's not too difficult.

I'll try to refine it to be a bit more challenging in the next version. I think it wasn't balanced enough compared to the other scenarios.

I just opened a pull request on github with fixes for some spelling and grammar mistakes.

Just merged.

So, thanks to kiney, I think I've managed to resolve the spelling concerns for now.

I plan to work on this for a while and then release the next version, which will include refinements to Scenario 4 in response to feedback, as well as the completion of the unwritten cutscene. I expect this will likely be in April.

And yes, I'm still open to your feedback.

Version 0.0.2 is now available! This is a fairly provisional release; due to delays in the work, I wasn't able to wrap up the S4 refinements or the cutscene writing. However, a notable improvement is that the prose in the existing scenarios has been revised by mithc, making it sound more natural and polished. This version also includes spelling corrections by kiney. In addition, a number of (relatively minor) tweaks have been made.

Please be sure to update!
