What is considered a good ending and what is a bad one?
Good ending:
Leah finding the scientists and leaving the Island? (plottwist after a few days home she misses the creatures and the fun she had and Returns to the Island to stay for good.)
Bad ending:
She just stays?
I am also against time limits. Especially in a game where so much is random. When I think about how long you have to search to get enough leather and how long some fights take against the same type of enemy, a time limit is rather annoying.
What I can imagine is that there are stronger opponents during the night or that the MC gets tired. Also the parasites will grow in a few days and will lead to new or other H-scenes. But everything on Lilimts.
It seems time as a mechanic and story tool creates some friction and I can understand the RNG argument about unpredictability, however I still think that the endings should depend on the overall actions of the player throughout the session.
Instead of a good-bad ending approach to the story's conclusion, I'm thinking more of a "consequence" based. So your corruption or whatever status increases/decreases and your possible conclusions are picked for you given that, but it doesn't necessarily make it a bad or good end (that's for the player to decide), but a direct response of Leah's state when she gets to the end of the story.
As an example, with less corruption you are more likely to leave the island, rescue the researchers, go after the "antagonists", get rewarded for the loot you brought and the quest completion, while when corrupted you are more likely to stay on the island, join the "antagonists", enjoy breeding, trap the researchers, keep the island a secret, etc.
So it is the gameplay having an impact on the conclusion, other than the story having an impact on the gameplay, where the corruption is a spectrum that tilts your finale to certain endings, based on how you played. Maybe, if possible, have a specific H scene for each available ending, but that is just me wishing for now.
More scenes is difficult since all he can use is existing Art by the original artist.
The possibility of Eroism getting his hands on new art is not entirely ruled out. The Original dev could make some more for him if he is up to it. Or else i am sure there are some possibilites with AI. Sure Ai is not perfect, but with the right Image to image generation technique, it can be very usefull if you want to make different animations that are based on an already existing character image.
New CGs are still an open topic for the time being, but one can still dream
. I'll share my thoughts and plans when nearing the end phase of the remake, as I still have to take the time to collect my options, talk with Atella and check the alternatives.
The keyboard was too slow for my typing...
. Thank you for the heads up, please let me know if you find any other hidden gems like that
