It's your baby, you should do what you are comfortable with. I think one of the things that can kill any creativity is devs trying to pander to the critics. However, I confess that I usually just skip kinetic novels with no choices because I find them a bit boring. I skipped your game initially too and the only reason I came to try it was because I saw your CivitAI page and liked the art.

Eh, the way I see it, a good story, whether it is kinetic or has choices, will still be a good story. A shit game whether is kinetic or has choices, will still be a shit game.

It's definitely a fair assessment, I view it the same as to: Why bother watching a tv-series or an anime or a movie? We can't alter the story. We're just spectating what happens, but that doesn't mean the movie/anime/series can't be good and enjoyable to watch.

For me, the downsides of adding choices outweigh the positives of not adding them at this point my journey. I've only started end of last November. I still have a lot to learn and in the future, I hope to be able to create something truly unique and meaningful. (I'm not saying Shadows of Amibition isn't meaningful, I just don't have the available resources to do something like that currently.)

If that means for certain people that this game/comic/novel is shit and not worth a try, so be it.

When you finish Shadows of Ambition and start another project, will it also be NTS or something else?

If it's truly a good story, there's no need for multiple routes and depending on what happens, not even choices are necessary.


A bad story can't be saved by anything.


Just speaking the truth

Agree. A good story will be good regardless, a bad one will be bad regardless.

I prefer Kinetic Novels personally because too many choices give me the feeling that I'm missing out of story and scenes. So I prefer a writer just take me on a nice, enjoyable ride with cool characters and hot scenes thrown in!
