Sky Division has been on my "to-do" list for a while and I finally got around to playing the story the last couple of days. There are hidden gems all over. I'm sure a lot of people passed over this because new dev, art is not "refined" (whatever the fuck that means), and "oh noes gays!".
Okay, yeah, it's gay. So if that's not your thing, this'll be a real quick game for you when Dax shoots you in the fucking head.
Let's get the "bad" part out of the way: graphics and visuals. So it's not AAA. It's not DAZ. It's not anything but hand-drawn art that's better than I can do. Props, man. I think there's some very minor things you can do in regard to sprites and transitions that would make the visual aspect of your game look a lot more polished, but the actual art itself...
The backgrounds are awesome. Love the setting. Daz is cute AF without being a supermodel. Yeah, it's all about tastes, but all graphic novels are about tastes. Enough about the visuals. Let's get to the really good aspects of Sky Division.
I'm not sure how much MariusAxe has put into the background. If he's got it all written down inside his head or out, or whether he's coming up with this in the spur of the moment, the story is running at a good pace -- the perfect pace for a VN like this. The story isn't forced or so unrealistic it forced me out of the headspace of the game.
Given the setting, the characters act in a rather believable way. Enough information about the history and setting is dripped out by MariusAxe's writing to keep my attention and, more importantly, keep me emotionally invested in the story and Dax.
If you're not a gatekeeping-visuals-pansy and can handle a little furry gay sex, this is an excellent choice to spend a couple hours with. It's one of those hidden gems. I can't wait to see what happens after Part 7.
