I think trying to hype it up with saying it's a Mass Effect, Persona 5 (why 5 and not the series in general? 4 is better narratively), and Baldur's Gate mix is a negative for me.
Because P5 is where the saga became famous and 80% of the players base got into it, although I agree that P4 is better (not counting the graphics).

As for BG, I've only played the classics 1 and 2, I still can't afford a PC gamer to run BG 3 and Mass Effect I've never played, all I know is that it's in space, with dialogues with lots of options, like Fallout or Dragon Age (and Shepard's meme "we'll bang, ok") :KEK:.
Currently it's only saving grace (on that theme) is that Tess is the lead writer.
The renderings look good too, similar to Tess, did you see those nails? :eek:.

Not meant to be a boast or anything but I have Persona 3, 4, and 5 under my belt, (including Reload, Golden, and Royal) all three BGs, and every Mass Effect plus the Legendary Edition remaster. So when all of them are mentioned as influences, it just makes me raise an eyebrow. Especially Persona because I hope the only thing pulled from it are the moral issues and not mechanics like timeslots or confidant levels.

I'm sure we'll get more info over time that will answer a bunch of my internal questions but it's mostly just concern about ambition. Same reason I'm always keeping an eye on Ocean's stuff. It's great on paper but what will it look like five years from now when we're sitting on a 0.4 version of XXX Academy. That's not fair to Anais. I also have no real expectations and am just used to be slightly disappointed.

Side note: With nails like that, I hope this Academy is all voice operated cause touch screens and keyboards are fucked.

Well, considering that it will be a college/academy existing in the KG universe (220 years after the events of our game), it's pretty safe to assume that the game will be called “The Karlsson Academy”... The director of this academy will be Astrid Karlsson (“girl out of time”) and she will be one of the LI for the male and/or female protagonist...As for all these big names of famous game franchises, so far they don't mean much to me and I tend to view them purely as a PR and advertising element..

Can a college game be interesting? It all depends on your preferences and the talent of the game's author...However, I have no idea yet what Anais is capable of (as an aspiring developer), so for now I'm only hoping for Tess as the lead writer and likely driver of this project...What this game could be, we'll find out very soon, so I'll just wait for that promised announcement (as part of the upcoming pt2) before making any conclusions.

Some spinoff set in the distant future of KG could work, if the academy was more like Starship Troopers where people die and are trained to fight, rather than it just being.. ye old lame college theme.

The games name has the Initials “TQA” so definitely not Karlsson….
