Hi everyone!
I've been pondering something that a valued patron mentioned recently—his regret about not being able to unlock all the scenes in SR and being forced to concentrate solely on making choices, which somewhat diminished his enjoyment of the game. Following my last SR update, there was also a discussion about whether the content in the game is decreasing. While the truth is that the content volume has been consistent over the years, I understand that it might not feel that way for some players.
Every choice has significantly shaped Laura's journey as we've progressed deep into the game and crossed its midpoint. This means the content each player experiences can vary greatly depending on their decisions.
Considering this, I've decided to introduce a kinetic edition starting with the next update. This version will streamline the experience by removing choices and the sandbox aspect, though it will include all the events. At the start, you’ll choose which path to play—corruption or pride. This game will reflect how I would navigate it to maximize content rather than a direct 1:1 mapping with the base game. The aim is to let players enjoy as much content as possible without the stress of decision-making.
Please note that your save files will not be compatible with the Kinetic Edition. However, to enhance accessibility, I’m adding the ability to teleport to any day in the game before starting.
There are still some challenges to work out, particularly with conflicting event pairs like Pimp and Vepris. My initial thought is to include both, adapting each according to the chosen path—Pimp for corruption and Vepris for pride. There are a few more pairings I need to think through.
This isn't a massive undertaking. I have all the dialogue codes and visuals ready. Only a few visual assets for transitions are needed, and I anticipate that setting this up will only take a few days initially and just a couple of hours before each update.
The core game will remain unchanged and continue as planned, offering different combinations of events and more than two endings. It will serve as the "expert edition" for those who enjoy challenges.
I fondly recall my days playing similar games, and, honestly, I always preferred the more kinetic games that allowed me to enjoy the narrative without worrying about the consequences of my choices.
What do you think of this new Kinetic Edition? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
See you soon!
