some thing like that.
Like a shot of the part of the island that tell as the players were things are (rpgm give this by default but is worse in another thinks so the ranpy is still better.)
a picture or cg that would tell what time it is( the idea with sky representing the time is good ) and geographical where thinks are(even a rpgm cg shot would be ok)
egz: the city is in Bay and the big skyscraper is somehow remote in kinda jungle and so on ( it build up the world and immersion without necessary writhing about it or wasting next cg just to point were some thing is (saves time i guesses {net a dev just have some of imagination})
and the map shot could be universal like shot of the island with circles or squares with miniatures of the place on the map ( you could easily add next circle or square with next place that would come out in the story ) idk how big the game would be but aiding another small island(like undiscovered or some magical hidden) or another sky shot of the island(from another angle) wouldn't break the game world
i know long rant but is nice concept this game feels like good successor of (
https://f95zone.to/threads/sarahs-life-v0-8-fix-impure.343/) that we never had and i would like so see the full potential of it
couple ideas (you can throw it in the garbage is your game)
- ad some mystical/magical connection with the creature of the island and the detective they look a like
- make the corruption visible in the way fmc dress
- you could ad quick session of detective work (is investigation after all) when the fat dude shine so to speak(batman/Sherlock Holmes style )
- if you plan any routes do the split at the beginning or do quick bad ends and the main routes ( making a lot of mall changes with choices is kinda of putting and give fake idea that game is longer or have more contentment when the story and progress is still in the same place
-give the detective and any character that would at to story that actually matters some goal that he / they lost hope of doing or he / they couldn't do without the fmc.
sorry for long post one more time is your game not mine
