ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion

From Ben

Hey OMEGA09, Ember said that he’s going to be posting in Xiphactinus so you can stay in Cosmo. You were posting first anyway, so it shouldn’t be a problem in the long run. Also, for putting implant attributes in your story, that’s okay to me since I don’t really own the concept of abilities. I’m also okay with the “Kill or be Killed” rule protocol, since it was inspired by Undertale and general level systems in games. As for your request about the ruins of June’s castle, I’m not sure that’ll be possible, along with your request of TFT taking place in the same world as TAOH (i think thats what you requested, not sure). I think you know that The Island blew to bits in TAOH in Chapter 98, so I don’t think any ruins would be left anyway. Also since Dan Walker runs the ARK, it probably wouldn’t be possible anyway for him to bring more people onto the ARK in the future. No spoilers, but for one, if he is defeated in the end of TAOH… well, he’ll be defeated. If he does win though, he wouldn’t need to use the ARK anymore because he’d be able to finish his story. No spoilers for Chapter 100, though. So TLDR, first two requests for implant attributes and “Kill or be Killed”, yes, last two requests for June’s castle ruins and taking place in TAOH, no. You can add references (like naming a trinket after a character / object in TAOH, or a company), but all in all TFT can’t take place in the same universe as TAOH. Also, I read Chapters 5 and 6 and they were great! Glad you described what creature Nightwind was, and jeez Dylan’s first tame being a Theri is pretty darn lucky. Those things always scratch me to death. Glad to see a Theri in a story too. Clans by Moon has it, but in terms of survivor-type stories I haven’t seen them (don’t think I’ve even included them in TAOH) simply because Rexes are favored over them. Mr Yen also seems like a cool character, I can’t wait to learn more about him. I like how you went over how Dylan gets his weapon. I think weapon choices are very important in ARK stories. Only thing I’d say is that Dylan should have gotten a club instead of a sword, since swords are more precision based rather than brute force, but still good explanation. I loved the part at the end of Chapter 5 with the three obelisks too. The Omega Protocol interests me too, along with these three secret obelisks… I’m glad you’re adding onto the ARK story. Chapter 6 was also really good, I’m glad we got more background on Sarah (we learn that she had a friend named Valerie but they were separated by the ARK). I love the promise Dylan and Sarah made too, which is going to heighten the stakes (good stuff). I can’t wait to see Chapter 7 (which I presume will be the swamp expedition)! Also jeez, swamp expedition after just spawning in… That’s gonna be crazy. Well that was a lot but I’m really enjoying TFT right now. Also you said that Chapter 5 didn’t show up for you, well it’s because on DDEX, when you post a tip it doesn’t immediately show up. There’s a delay and it can range between a day to many. That’s why you didn’t see my first response to your question about the storyline elements. If you want to see tips / messages load in faster you can search up “Dododex Stories” and there’ll be a website. You can filter by new and whichever creature you want, refresh, and tips will show up much faster than on the app. Anyway, I’ll see you around.

Nazgul, Chapter 4 of Convergence was awesome! I’m really interested in Cole and the lore of this world rn. I already left most of my thoughts so I’ll make this quick: CALEB IS SUPER COOL. Anyway, that’s about it. Goodbye everyone!
