I agree with you. But since we’re using octane, it has a steeper learning curve than Iray which is why there are some visual issues. Don’t worry, these images were rendered months ago and we’ve learnt many things since then. So expect a significant quality upgrade for 0.2.

I can’t say for sure because everyone reads at a different pace, but I’d say maybe about 45 minutes?
For sure! Looking forward to seeing what you got in store. Thank you for the clarification of what happened.Just to clear something up for anyone who notices a striking resemblance to to another game, Revolt, be aware that this game is completely new. While it’s made by the same developer, a forced hiatus due to work commitments, and then losing the old writer, put Revolt in basically the dead zone. (Even though I’m still using a Revolt signature. So if anyone wants to make a new one, I’d more than appreciate it
When I came on board a few months ago, the idea was to continue that same story. But with all the complications that came from taking over a game with several hanging plot threads, we thought it would be easier to just scrap what was there, and start fresh. But that was my idea, which Neo graciously accepted. And because I didn’t want the work he’d put into it previously to feel as though it were wasted, I tried to fit a significant amount of art into the new story I’d conceived of.
But other than the reusing of about 50% of the old game’s renders, Edge of Anarchy is completely new otherwise. Almost completely new dialogue, new engine and even the old art was re-rendered to a higher quality. Obviously it’s not perfect, but we’re doing everything we can to make each update markedly better than the last. Also, anyone concerned about it being a grindy sandbox game, don’t be. There will be zero grinding for money, stats or any kind of plot progression at all.
And if you’re wondering whether updates will be more regular than they were in Revolt, rest assured they will be. New characters and locations are already being worked on, and I’m well into writing the next script for 0.2.
I think your thinking of Revolt ? One and the same ...?
Actually, the reason for it being a sandbox is so we can give the player the sense of Hypnos being a living, breathing city with a multitude of characters, locations and stories to experience in a way which wouldn’t be possible in a linear visual novel. There will be zero grind in this game, and we’re commited to making each update content packed. But I guess since hating on sandbox games is so in right now, it’s okay for you to basically call us scammers before even giving us a chance.
Your right. It is unfair to judge so quickly. But it almost seems like all the devs had some secret meeting to discuss how to do as little work as possible and string patrons along. Lets hope this game becomes the exception to this new rule.Actually, the reason for it being a sandbox is so we can give the player the sense of Hypnos being a living, breathing city with a multitude of characters, locations and stories to experience in a way which wouldn’t be possible in a linear visual novel.

Not sure why you'd have a problem with sandbox games. Maybe linear visual novels are more your thing. Granted, some developers make their games a sandbox for lack of any engaging storyline, and just as an implmentation of random miniseries of fuck-renders, but if done well, a sandbox game can be very entertaining and end up with more story and more engaging storylines.
If there's demand for it we'll make one. But for this version at least, there's really only one choice that you make during Samantha's storyline that will diverge significantly. You'll know what I'm talking about if you've played it.
About half of the content has been reused, albeit re-rendered to a higher quality, but the story and dialogue is completely new.
