《Machinarium》Chapter 9: [Slaughter]
Advertisement
'The bow is extremely weak. Probably couldnt even penetrate a wolves hide.'
[No, It couldn't penetrate a wolves hide. The best your bowshot construct can be used for is slowing down the enemy.]
'Might as well change the bowshot to a melee construct. Atleast then it would be able to kill things.'
'ISAP, open the upgrade screen on the bowshot!'
The blue screen opens once again, displaying the bowshot.
'Alright'.
I detach the bow from the bowshot and add two of the retracting blades, One on each arm.
[Warning, too many parts for core to handle. Upgrade core of the construct, or remove on part.]
'Fuck. I forgot that it has a part limit.'
'ISAP, how do I get a better core for my constructs?'
[At level 4 you get a better core that can be used for either more weapons/parts, or stronger limbs.]
'Ugh, Alright then.'
The blade on the construct's left arm detaches and disappears.
'ISAP, name this new construct "Scout"'
[Construct named to "Scout", Adding to construct creation screen.]
The construct's arm begins to shake and fall apart, as the ground around it crawls up its leg and turns into a new arm with the retracting blade on it.
'Well, It's not like I have anything in here, so I wont have to have a guard here anyway. Follow me, Scout.'
"Yes leader." The bladed scout construct replies.
"Hey Bula, Do you hate your clan?'
"Well, Obviously. They kicked me out for no reason!" Bula said
"Well then you obviously don't care if I desecrate the clan, right?"
"Of course I dont! Do you know how savage those idiots are?" Bula said angrily
I begin rolling out of the cave again and down the only path there is.

'Ugh, ISAP, is it possible for me to get an actual body? Rolling like this is horrible!'
[You could attach yourself to a construct in place of their core or head. But this is a bad idea.]
'Of course it is. Ugh'
'AAH, How am I going to find Bula's clan? Why did I say I would kill them all? I can barely defend against wolves! Let alone 10 orcs! What am I going to do?'
'Yes! That's it! I need to level up so I can have another construct!'
We backtrack to where i found that giant cannibal rabbit and hide in the bushes.
The same sight as last time, except with a few more cannibal rabbits.
We wait in the bushes for a few hours, and the normal rabbits crawl into some holes.
The cannibal rabbits start to fight eachother, clawing and biting eachothers skin off.
'Go, Kill them!'
The two constructs extend their blades and run after the cannibal rabbits, who stop infighting and start to run towards the constructs.
One cannibal rabbit latches onto the scout construct and wont come off.
The constructs slice the rabbit's heads off with their blade, but their bodies are still moving.
After a few moments, blood erupts from their neck and they fall over, twitching.
One of the constructs pulls the rabbit off of him and slams it against the ground until its a pile of goo.
[Congratulations, you have leveled up! Construct capacity raised by 1!]

Spellcraft
This is the revised and rewritten version of Spellcraft! Explore the world, meet new and interesting monsters, and kill them for their loot. It was a tale as old as gaming, and it bored Conlan to death. He always had more fun finding little chinks in a game’s systems. He loved figuring out how to exploit those systems and turn them to his advantage. And ever since the release of Lotus, revolutionary hardware that finally delivered the dream of stepping into a fully immersive VR world, he'd had more items on his game breaking agenda than ever before! Lately he’d been using those skills to mess with Horizon Online Entertainment. He figured screwing those bastards over was the least he owed the corporate pricks for killing his sister in one of their Lotus VR modules. They had too much money to face justice from the courts, but he was hellbent on destroying them in the court of public opinion! Only there’s only so much he can do to fight Horizon from inside their games, and a whole new digital battlefield is opening up: Lotus Online. The greatest and most immersive VRMMO ever created, the ultimate expression of the Lotus hardware made by the masters who created that hardware, and Horizon is trying to invade that new world and take it over the same as they’ve taken over everything else! Yeah, not if Conlan and his best gaming buddy Kris have anything to say about it. Because Conlan has a secret weapon. He’s discovered something in Lotus no one else has: Spellcrafting. The chink in Lotus’s armor. He's always loved crafting, and he's discovered a system that might just allow him to take over the game world, kick Horizon out, and hit them right in the bottom line in the real world. Assuming he can survive all the invading Horizon bootlickers trying to kill him long enough to pull off the greatest exploit of his infamous game breaking career! Spellcraft is a 225,000 word GameLit novel that is totally finished. New chapters are released every other day!
