First of all thanx Kato for the journal!
Been working off and on pretty much since MOUL ended with my Story writing and puzzle making. I have now a fairly cohesive story that actually came together from the others I had done. This endeavor was born out of how I was left feeling about the MOUL pods or spheres of Negilahn, Dereno, Payiferen and Tetsonot. I was disappointed at how little they all did other than the portals and stones we got. Though I had inside information more might be added to them later. By like the 3 day the solution was posted and the calculation for portal times was available within another week or so. So my thing with the MOUL new age puzzles was did Cyan just under estimate the collective intelligence of the Uru community to have made such simple easy puzzles? Don’t get me wrong now, what we got in MOUL was good stuff for the average Uruite explorer to solve. I just felt a MORE sophisticated and challenging Community Age story and puzzles for the collective groups of bevin explorers was what everyone was really screaming for!
The Planet Dragonia Age story and puzzles I have already created will take explorers a week to get through the first age of 8 puzzles and that just to get explorers to the planet! And even after the first group of explorers solves those puzzles, their values and data will all change. So even if the puzzles mechanics get posted, explorers will still have to run through all the paces of regathering new values to work them. Plus, the puzzles require collective efforts to solve them. So nerves will run thin quick! So until then, I am waiting for the FCAL panel to get forged and set up an official place for us all to submit what we had done. I know I am not alone on this. I am anxious to see how much of my story and puzzles mechanics will be allowed. Maybe more about keep, as well as if some of what I would like to do with the puzzles mechanics will be allowed or can be done.
I would like to post my storys prologue here to see what reactions I might get. Though to be honest with all the time and work I have put in to it, I am cautious about putting anything out in the public for fear others might tend to borrow from what I have done to create their own alternate versions of the general premises I have created with in mine. I have only read a hand full of others stories. None resembling mine. Only one had good descriptive writing and held my interest. Other than the five here, I haven't really looked at what others have yet done to keep myself insulated from being influenced by others works. I want avoid unkowingly borrowing on others ideas. Once I get most of mine out and posted in on a secure well known place "public forum", it would sorta help protect it some. That others who then did borrow elements from mine would be recognized for such, even though flattering they would do so, I'd prefer they didn't.
I could certainly use some feed back on what others have or are doing with their stuff. If I should put mine out there or just keep adding to the story and puzzle mechanics until I can get it into a FCAL review.
Wow 69 viewings and not a single reply! Scary! Guess nobody cares or nobody knows anymore than me as to the FCAL status.
