Writing False Idols
I’m going to talk about the process of writing the False Idols mission in the latest version of Starsector, 0.98, though we’ll stray pretty far afield into a bit about the Luddic Church faction missions and the character of Jethro Bornanew in particular. We’ll start with inspiration then move on to implementation, though more from a perspective of designing the narrative than scripting.
Don’t read this post if you haven’t done the False Idols mission. (Or “quest”, fine.) There will be spoilers.
Alright, so we’re all good? Blessings of Ludd are upon you? Great, let’s proceed.
