Unity Unaware in the City [v42 Basic] [Mr. Unaware Studios]

[nnwah]

Good question. Now that the game is also on Steam, along with the upcoming one, and I’ve sold more copies than I anticipated, it’s helped me fund UiTC2 significantly. So, my conscience won’t let me just leave it as it is. While I don’t have the energy to handle 2 projects simultaneously, I at least want UiTC to be more polished and as bug-free as possible.

Well, paint me interested. I really did not expect this kind of response and you got my total respect

Question I'll ask for the upcoming release - will it arrive on Itch as well? Or will it be a Steam release only?

 

[mothulu]

will the remaster still be free roam-y even if its got a plot?

Yeah, it already has an itch page set up, but it's hidden until the official release.

I already answered this on the previous page, so I'll just copy-paste it:

Yes, UiTC:R will still keep its open-world and free-roam style, and the storylines won’t interfere with that. The main storyline will revolve around the upcoming elections, which take place in 100 days. You’re not required to participate, and you can ignore them entirely. The world itself doesn’t care much about Jane; she’s not a superhero destined to save the world, but just a girl moving to The City. While her actions can have a ripple effect, the elections will still happen, and the world will move on without her involvement. Naturally, completing or failing the storyline will have consequences, but there won’t be any game overs (unless specifically stated in a quest).

After those 100 days, will the game end or will you be able to free roam and do the things you didn't do until then? (because you were busy making Jane the president)

The game won't have a "typical" ending, as I'm aiming for something similar to what Fallout 2 did - once you finish the main plot, you'll get a summary of the events, and then you can continue playing endlessly until you get bored. There will be a few situations that lead to a game over, but nothing like that is currently planned for the main plot.

As for revisiting old events, that's a bit tricky. I kind of want The City to move forward, so not all events will remain available indefinitely. For example, some events might only be triggered between Day 10 and Day 30, because something else happens after Day 30. This is still in the design phase, and not all events will follow this logic - some will remain available whether you trigger them on Day 1 or Day 1000. Others might trigger automatically if the player ignores them for too long, to help the story progress. You know, making a truly open-world game that doesn't feel disconnected or collapse under its own weight is quite a challenge, while at this point I don't want to promise anything that I might fail to deliver.
