The Abridged Story of "Betrayal In Antara" PDF
The Abridged Story of "Betrayal In Antara" PDF
Below is a link to the abridged story of "Betrayal In Antara."
http://larrylaffer.net/non-lsl-games/th ... df-version
It's abridged because the game is an RPG, and like most RPGs, the player encounters repetitive text (eating / sleeping / fighting / losing / winning / fast travel / "no one home" / "closed for the evening" / etc.) that doesn't contribute much to the overall story.
Instead, I chose to focus on the main story and the various side quests & story interactions the player can encounter, turning it into a novel format (novel here meaning "book length," not "interestingly new or unusual") rather than simply an extracted list of all text data.
========================================
The PDF contains the following sections:
• An introduction of how the document came to be, and the reasoning behind the choices made in its creation
• An enhanced game map of Antara (for those following along at home)
• Writing credits for the game, plus the quick "primer" on the world of Antara from the game manual
• The story of the game, divided into chapters (and includes my "fan-fiction enhancements" for the cutscenes)
• A list of the game items with their various descriptions
• The lyrics to the game's tavern songs
• Unused text found within the game files, along with my commentary
• Explanations for references found within the game, as well as fun facts
========================================
And because the document is so long, the table of content contains direct links to each of these sections.

========================================
Hope you enjoy. Whew!!! -- After 11 years, it's been quite the project.

Might need to update in the near future. Under the Reference/Fun Facts section, I failed to include that one of the game's writers, Cynthia Vanous, was an actual character in the game: in Ticor Province for Chapters 2 & 4, Cynthia Vanous is the Ravenne Museum Curator...
Came to mind just as I was uploading...

Version 1.2 has been submitted to Tawmis to post at the top of this thread.
The major change is now there is a Version Update log at the end, which also includes where the most recent version of the PDF can be found. There are also some minor changes, and I revised the "fan fiction/enhanced " cutscenes yet again. The writing has been cleaned up to make my contributions flow better.
Thank you for your interest in this project.

Version 1.3 has been submitted to Tawmis for posting at the top of this thread.
This update consists of minor changes and revisions -- mostly of proofreading, better word flow, and correcting typos/misspellings/missing words that I've discovered over the last month or so.
