Damn, Altered Carbon concept would be really amazing for porn.
Yep, jump from sleeve to to sleeves. Lots of freedom.
Or maybe not if you got no credits, you can't custimize your sleeve.
But it could be a very interesting concept.

But the story need to be very logical and I think very story driven.

So yes, I'm very suprised that no one tried it.

Once again sorry for going off topic.

Hello desmosome, my work is inspired by Ridley Scott's Blade Runner from 1981 and
Dennis Villeneuve's 2049 which I think is still very similar to Altered Carbon Season 1.

Hopefully, once I published the later updates, you guys who have been a fan of dystopian sci-fi like my fave movie BR2049, will like the game.

Additionally, if you've read the overview. I mentioned the Chasgate which is used to travel back in time, so yes, a similar concept to sleeve to sleeve transformation from Altered Carbon is definitely possible.

I'll try this out later and give my feedback. The word building in the plot overview was certainly interesting.

Dont know if its just me but some images MC looks Asian-Chinese thats a good thing Im always down for anything diversified thats the real world we live in but some images he looks like a transgender Im all for equality and all that but Im a male fuming with Testosterones if I was interested in playing a game with a transgender character I'd search for that specifically. Same goes for the girl thats supposed to be black why does she look Chinese painted black, I mean if your going to put a black women in your game atleast have a little respect for the culture. I understand prior to 3090 and other gpu releases Dev had issues with modeling some npc skin colors correctly but with all these new gpu's and cpu's I cant understand whats the problem now.

Thanks for the feedback. I agree that in some renders MC looks different. It's mainly because of two things: the inconsistent use of the same lens and the light settings.

Also all my renders are rendered by ConciergeRender Farm because I only have a GT 730 at the moment. Sometimes I also render previews with my i5 6400 cpu but it takes too long so i ended up sending them all to the renderfarm.

Alright, don't get discouraged or take it the wrong way. This needs a lot of work.

I'll mention the straightforward issues first.
  1. The first thing you can fix easily is the empty text box that you have to click every time you finish a sentence.
  2. Work on the MC's face changing so much from different angles. He looks fine when looking directly forward, but the side views tend to look like a different person. Asian MC is super rare and it's nice to see one.
  3. The sex scene is just a random animation with absolutely no buildup or finish. That just won't do. It needs to be integrated into the script. Sex dialogues would be nice, but at the very least, make a natural start and finish to the scene.

Now it gets more complicated. Not everything could be fixed just by knowing the problem. It takes skills which you might be lacking. The writing needs a lot of work. I was interested in the overview and the setting, but it was immediately shattered by subpar storytelling. You don't need to narrate mundane actions that are plainly visible in the visuals. Narration has 2 functions. 1) To embellish a scene or situation through flowery and descriptive language. 2) To give information that might otherwise be lost to the reader.

The way you write goes like this. You get up from the bed. *Click. You get dressed. *Click. You swim through the water. *Click. You go in through the window. *Click. So on and so forth. It's neither interesting to read nor is it informative.

Great narration is really hard to do. You need a writer's touch to really pull it off I think. For most of us, it would probably be better to stick to dialogues/thoughts for the bulk of the script. I'd wager that this type of writing comes more naturally to most people. However, the gritty sci-fi dystopian setting is one that really would benefit from great narration to set the atmosphere. If you want to stick to a narration heavy script, then my advice would be to condense the single line descriptions into a more general description in paragraph form, rather than going line by line narrating each action the MC is doing.

Other than the technicalities in the writing, the build was just too short to really comment on the plot elements.

Good luck man.

Love dystopian settings for stories.
The graphics are decent.

Consider me interested. I will watch this for several updates and see where it goes before adding $upport, but it does look promising.

Best of Luck Dev!

Kodo Studio I saw prostitution in the planned tags. So what can I expect about it?

I'm a very vanilla guy, I don't really like my LI going around having sex with other guys. So, I would like to know what the plot of this tag will be. Will it be something like a strip club, or is the MC going to prostitute the LI (and will it be avoidable)?

This is probably overly nitpicky, but when the MC goes to assassinate the sergeant on his yacht... How is a sergeant affording a yacht? Is being in the military that lucrative in this universe? Then the MC goes to report to his superior, a corporal... how is a corporal going to be commanding what appear to be elite special forces? That means these SF operators are all privates? This destroys my immersion...

The prostitution tag is similar to the concept of Blade Runner: there will be androids(replicants) who are basically made to be sex dolls for the higher tier mercenaries and for the riches. They are just side chicks who are just meant to satisfy you during free-roams.

As for the Love interests, the girls in Alpha version is just 5 of the 9 main LIs that you can meet in the story. 12 if I can stretch the already-finished script.

Once you progress in the story, you will earn in-game credits that can be used to choose an android you want to have sex with. This concept will come later on the story when the boss finally promote you after completing missions.

So i think for a vanilla guy like you, there won't be any problems.

Thank you for the feedback, this is certainly overly nitpicky as it is only the alpha version. The answer to your questions will be available in the later versions of the game when I added the background story.

Thanks for the reply. And yes, as long as it's not LI's who are involved in that TAG, I believe guys like me are fine.


Thanks again for the reply and good luck with your project.
