some feedbacks here, that's cool
Regarding the fact that I am not Wootch, the scam, the reason for the feedback, etc:
There have been several discussions on this topic in
this thread, which I won't elaborate on.
I’ve come back to finish what I started, and I want to involve this community where everything began to, on the one hand, gather good ideas, and on the other hand, speed up development.
The help I received from some of you when OT was released allowed me to fix bugs and improve the game much faster. That’s what I’m looking for here.
For now, I dedicate 2 hours of my time each day to this development. It's a hobby, I do it because I love it, and I don’t want to professionalize or make the mistake again of committing to a project for compensation.
Once again, my main goal is to finish this story.
On the choice of a 2D/3D mix:
Over the years, I’ve gained some development experience, and it would have been impossible to offer an animated 2D version with all the content I have in mind for this game. To do that, I would have needed to hire a full-time artist for at least a year (more 2-3).
I am a one-man team (and I intend to stay that way), handling programming, drawing, and video. This allows me to produce my 2D sprites, create my maps, scripts, etc. HSS and RPGM have been the best combo to ensure the feasibility of this project. Yes, at one point, I was advocating for 2D animation, which is what I prefer. But it wasn’t feasible for this project.
As for having a specific thread for OT:
Already denied twice due to the content, so I won’t insist. The creation of this thread around WiS aims to gather feedback and suggestions while also providing more visibility.
In short:
I'm not here to fuel or respond to controversies or justify my personal life choices, which are mine alone.
I’m here to offer you my games, and I invite you to test them so I can get your feedback. The more feedback I get, the faster I can progress, that's all.
So, keep your money, take the game as it is, and enjoy. In return, I’m just asking for feedback
The next update of OT and WiS is planned for 01.11.2024.
If you have any suggestions for improving the game before that, I’m all ears!
