Oh, another difference I remembered!
We had a monthly (LOL! We only had 1 before I got too overworked and unable to do more! XD) newspaper of sorts! In which I'd write about occurrences within and outside the city to tell the current state of things.
Its purpose was multi-fold. It served as a resume of the recent events of the game for anyone that joined after they occurred first and foremost.
But also, it was actually a way to show the consequence of some things, like... Some quests needed to have some consequences, yet those consequences shouldn't necessarily lead to more quests... I used the newspaper for that. Like showing how some adventurers found out about corrupt politicians in city A, so I made an article about how all the politicians in that city were executed by the tyrant (?) king and substituted by new ones.
I also used it to show consequences of some failed quests, to show that leaving quests undone also led to stuff happening and what not.
It was a lovely initiative, but... An overworked person trying to find more stuff to put on their plate wasn't my best idea! XD
I loved writing them though, I wrote the 1st one and started working in the 2nd one before I got too buried into things to ever finish it~
*laughs* Well, tbf, while I totally wanted to reboot AG for a while, the real reason AG V2 became a thing was because I was heartbroken after my boyfriend broke up with me and I needed to occupy my mind with something, so... I actually wanted to be overworked! XD
I'm happy I did it because I had lots of wonderful memories in it and learned a lot in putting those ideas to practice, and I also think I'd have gotten salty if Ohko made Scribbly's AG before I made AG v2 because I'd feel like I lost my chance to go at it, so... I'm really glad I did it~
But yes! I was waaaaaaaay too overworked! XD
I should have split the job better with the rest of the staff and actually sought new staff once the existing ones became too busy to help me! >.<
