A high fantasy slice-of-life romance, TMP is an interactive fiction tale written in Twine that follows the efforts of the Adventurer as they leave their successful career behind and settle into their early retirement. Who knew running a pawn shop could be so exciting!

【❰❬ ᴘʟᴏᴛ sᴜᴍᴍᴀʀʏ ❭❱】

You are a renowned adventurer, having taken to the road at a young age due to circumstances you couldn’t escape. Thankfully, despite the rocky start, your career has treated you exceptionally well! Now, a little over a decade has passed since you first struck out; legends have been made, ballads composed, and you’ve more than earned your rest. Plus, what the hell are you supposed to do with all the junk you’ve collected?

Then it hit you, your most brilliant idea yet.

In the port city-state of Zorhili, in the quiet outskirts of the upper district, you’ve set up your retirement. The Mythic Pawn, your pawnshop, boasts a truly unique selection of everything the adventuring heart could desire (and then some). The size and scope of your collection earned your shop an excellent reputation, especially among discerning collectors. Your stock is so reliably strange it’s even become a tourist destination! Not to mention fans of your adventuring days occasionally popping in for your autograph!

Life as a shopkeeper has been treating you well enough, but this was supposed to be your retirement. If only your eclectic troupe of regulars would actually let you rest!

An entirely malleable MC, with plenty of customization options! Choose your name, gender (cis, trans, or non-binary), pronouns (independent of gender), appearance, and more!
Customize your adventuring history as you play! Did you slay some dragons? Prevent a war? Save all the damsels? The cast and world will reflect you choices and react accordingly!
Find true love across the spectrum by playing as gay, bi/pan, or straight, with both allo and ace-spec options for everyone!
Choose one of 15 different romance routes to pursue! That’s right, you heard me: 15! That’s 11 monogamous options and 4 polyamorous options (one of which is exclusively poly!).
Meet a diverse cast of fantastical characters! We’ve got everything from demons to unicorns to literal gods for you to smooch!
Immerse yourself in a lighthearted story about the everyday life of someone who has already been the hero. Let other people worry about monsters and politics; you’re just trying to get rid of all these goblets and cheese wheels in your inventory.
Enjoy your well-earned retirement!
…And more!

Progress Report - May

Hello everyone! Hope you had a nice week! Mine was okay.

I didn’t write much this week, but that scene I was writing is almost done, just a couple more choices and it’ll be finished, a little scene to wrap it up and I’ll be moving on to what comes after that emotional wreck.

I don’t know if you will feel the same I did when writing it, but I actually cried when writing that last part. Now, it may be because I’m too sensitive or because I had some music from Nier Automata playing (and if you don’t know, those songs are super good and great for some emotional writing), but it really knocked me down. I’m a little scared to read it again so I haven’t done it.

On my side of things (on my draft) K has officially joined the team. In June’s alpha K is officially introduced, but we don’t get to the “joining” part, I can’t explain without spoiling it, but it relates to that old idea I had. Still, the whole team is together, they are introduced, tensions are high, very stressful (or was it only me because I was the one writing?), but it’s very satisfying.

Another thing that I did was write the prologue for my next game and it was super fun (the first choice is alcohol related, which is hilarious to me), it is a comedy adventure sort of story so if it’s fun to me then I’m doing great.

I’ve been thinking about what to do for the anniversary of the demo release (July 9). I have an idea but I’m not sure yet, I’m going to write a draft to see if it works and if it does I’ll let you know what happens after.

Also, pride month is right around the corner! I’ve never done anything for pride, and I don’t think I’ll be able to do anything this year either, but I hope whoever of you is has lots of fun! (Even though I won’t be able to do much I’m very excited for my first pride month in which I identify as a lesbian!)

Edit: I’m sorry I’m just adding this to say I got a weird comment on this post and it just made me laugh so bad. Oh Mercury Retrograde 🤣

Out of context phrase for this week:
