I hope this doesn't trudge up any sense of longing for things that weren't possible, but I know as a creator there're things you most likely wanted to include in TNP but couldn't make work.

Are there any you could talk about ? For example: Weapons. Were there any weapon choices you wanted the Hunter to have but couldn't?

Every now and then I think about mine wielding a scythe or something like the Hunter's Axe from Bloodborne. Complete with the ability to extend for long range attacks.

hmmm well it's still kinda early on in the story, so it's hard for me to say what will have to be cut in the end. there are a few scenes i've had to take out here and there, but there's a chance i may still reuse them in the future.

i definitely wish we could explore more of the world and see more monsters.... originally i did plan for the gang to go down south at some point, but that's not a part of the story anymore, which is a little disappointing. chapter 3 is going to be a bit of a monster of the week moment though, which i'm excited about, so we'll get to really see the hunter in their element (and monsters, of course).

when it comes to weapons, i definitely wish i could add more 😭 but writing combat is HARD especially with so many variations. and the blackwater fight i even made everyone use a sword and it still kicked my ass. i tried to do some interesting stuff with the magic and alchemy, which was definitely inspired by elden ring since i was playing it at the time (i know one of the moves, iirc with air magic, was directly inspired by the waterfowl dance)

if you want cool weapons, i suggest picking the alchemy skill. the whips in ch2 are some of my favorite weapons, as well as their spiked gauntlet they use against Duncan.

but the dream would be for the hunter to wield the ultimate pizza cutter....

#i cant remember if it was john wolfe's elden ring or bloodborne playthru i watched #where he was really obsessed with the pizza cutter lmfao #i've never played bloodborne but i watched his full playthru #and it's fun #the weapons are really cool. but it's too hard for me #i like watching fantasy games like that tho it gives me good ideas for combat and how to plan out fights #sometimes i think abt tnp as an actual video game and it helps #i have considered adding more weapon options down the line like in future chapters the hunter can pick up something new #but i havent decided if i want to try that yet cus again.... the variation is Huge and Painful and Beating My Ass #ask #anonymous
