''he has done things I never saw in an adult game before''
Can you give some examples of this? I think I understand you on this, but I don't want to assume we're on the dame wavelength.
And I would be honored to earn your support if I can get all of the pieces in place. This is more of a gauging interest and finding the correct resources with which to expand on the storyline.
Sure. It's a mix of things that in total it worked in a unique way.
Examples:
- A nice concept for the story. There is a main story but then there are so many branches coming up that build the characters, create sidequests and all of them being enjoyable.
- Including rpg skills that actually can be used in the game to have different outcomes/stories,
- creating an expanding world to explore where things keep evolving even when you are not present (loved the Elly meantime events that were connected to some choices MC had)
- Giving MC the choice to be caring or be a jerk, leading to different scenes.
- An overall cheerful feeling
- Interesting characters with a decent background or build-up
- Talking about characters, especially the girls had so sweet, perky and funny reactions during the really interesting events.
- About events... Oh boy. Such an imagination. I know Mobum was hearing other people's ideas (like Sukebe's and yours for example) but I think he had an overall idea of where he wanted to take the story and so he used the events in a way to serve his purpose.
- Open world that in the future could allow you to travel anywhere you want in order to find new stories/events. This actually was really ambitious and even though in the future it might paid off, currently should be extra coding with increased chance for bugs without taking advantage of it yet.
I know you might say I've seen something like this in that game etc. but my point is that I never seen a game with all of these elements mixed and done right, creating a really enjoyable experience.
I had send in the past some ideas to Mobum. I think he liked them but I don't know if he ever planned to use them in some way. He was always replying though and I had some discussions with him.
Feel free to contact me if you want to explore ideas in this great fantasy world of Runaway Princess. In Discord's Runaway Princess I'm Di_Va by the way.
