Hello there, happy new year everyone (Yes, I still have time for this
)
Thank you for your lovely comments, I'm glad you liked the last update and the game
As it was a dream, you can say it might have revealed some hidden desires from the MC
I found it funny to see the MC not having control here. That is maybe because of another story I'm actually writing, where the male MC is in this situation.)
Ooh, I love this one
Can I use it?
Thank you for this comment. I'm still wondering about the open world phase. The idea was not to make a sandbox or anything, there is absolutely no grinding, no resource management, nothing. Only missions you play one by one, short stories you're free to play or not.
I wanted to make this part like Grand Theft Auto 5. They plan to make a robbery, but before the robbery itself, you need to accomplished several missions like steal a truck, locate places, etc..
So when the "quests" on the map would be all done, the final "quest", the robbery, will appear.
The cards are simply a gallery like you see in all games, I just wanted it to be more fun than just unlocking images.
There won't be new location, only new stories to play. The "home" location will be some mini games to learn a bit more about the characters, nothing else.
As for the update releases, I'm more than aware it is long. I'm able to work on the game only on week-end, and I also have a family to take care of, so it is long yes, I know that.
My plan is to quit my job to concentrate on this "hobby" but as you doubt, that's not something that can be done quickly
Sorry to have quoted you

It's because you're not the first one to tell me that.
Most of the time, people who tell me about the open world phase didn't get it right, thinking it's another grinding game, with small updates just with the goal to milk their Patrons. (I know you didn't say that specific to my game, I'm talking more generally.)
So, I'm wondering myself if it would be a good thing to remake the game without the open world phase or not.
Will my game be more enjoyable in the classic VN format? I could integrate the cards in the format of hidden objects on the scene, but what about the vault and all the goodies?
So, I would love to hear from you guys about that. If you have played the game, could you tell me what you have thought about this open world phase? Do you like it or would you rather played
Secrets in a more classic VN format?
Thank you for your comments!
