A little insight:
- The game will be created from scratch.
- All characters, backgrounds, and interface - everything will be designed anew.
- The main story will feature new characters, with only a few old ones appearing in the background.
- There will be about 20 locations in the first part, and at least twice that many in the second part. Currently, 20 have been designed, and that's just a start.
- The game will have a shorter story length but more content due to the larger number of supporting characters. For the first part, I won't create 10-15 extra scenes for Marishka as the players mostly see them as one continuous scene with one character and complain about the lack of content.
- The engine will be Unity. Although I hate it, it's easier to find specialists who know it well. And the Android version will stop crashing after every 10 seconds of gameplay.
- There will be no voice acting in the game. It's not necessary for a novel, and voicing 400 pages of text would be very expensive. At the same time, most players would skip it anyway, as they prefer reading and scrolling through text.
- I will continue writing the plot, so if you were bashfully wiping your forehead while reading the text in the first part, be sure that I will drill a hole for you here.
"Neural network?" No, but I will shamelessly generate cupcake coupon cards for you. Otherwise, the game will be 100% manually created.
- It will be possible to play the early builds. Yes, when subscribing to Patreon.
Wait for the full-fledged announcement with blackjack and whores after the release of the "Beach Series" on Steam. We are struggling with localization.
