Wow... Long time no see.
In June, Order from Caos will celebrate its 4th year of publication. Since then, I've published one game per year: Hidden Shelter (2021), Backroom Beyond (2022), and Order from Caos 2 (2023). Order from Caos was the greatest school I could have had to learn game logic, programming, and now I'm focusing more on the Unreal Engine. I still have a lot of affection for RPG Maker MV, but I believe I need to broaden the scope of my games. There's something good coming. However, let's talk about now. I wrote a post on the Order from Caos 2 page discussing side quests that I think are important for players to experience. Taking advantage of the opportunity, I decided to do the same with Order from Caos. See if you agree with the choices.
1 - Byakko
This was the most difficult side quest to create. It has many variables and two different endings. It's a story about love and possession at first sight, but in the end, it's about revenge and protection. It's the side quest with the most emotional appeal in the game. It was painful to write because I had to think about the entire lore for it, and it was challenging to program.
2 - 30X Woods
This, for obvious reasons, may not be a very popular side quest. It asks the player to find 30 pieces of wood obtained by killing a certain type of monster that is in agony. These woods are found in the creature's stomach. The problem with this side quest is that it's a quest to collect a certain number of things and take them to an NPC. In Order from Caos 2, I focused on improving side quests to avoid this. But then you might ask - If you don't like this side quest, why did you include it here? I think it's because I want to remember what never to do.
3 - Fallen from Space
This is a side quest that few people have been able to complete. It's really difficult. In the final part of the game, we can enable this side quest. It's necessary to go to the desert and find a hole in the ground caused by a meteor that brought a creature from another world. I chose this side quest to finish this post because when I created it, it would be a link between Order from Caos and a possible sequel to the story. In fact, there's a fully written text with the story from beginning to end. But, I don't know when it will be possible to turn it into a game. My intention is to produce the next RPGs in 2.5D using the Unreal Engine. So, I know it will take a while to achieve, but who knows if the future will be kind enough to allow me that sequel? Without giving too many spoilers, only Tina and Joh would initially remain in the main group. There would be new characters and something falling from the sky...
Well, that's it. I hope you enjoyed it. Order from Caos is a story that moved me a lot while writing, and I hope it was an exciting experience for those who played it. And for those who haven't played it yet... feel free to play and have fun.
Until next time.
