Visual Novel Content/Gameplay (Patreon)

Hey everyone! 

With Changeling released, we are going to be focusing on finishing up our Kickstarter rewards so we can hopefully begin a new journey with a new project.

Of course, there's a lot that has to happen before we really start working on a new project but we are giving some thought to it even now. And one of the things we're thinking about is how to make it even better than Changeling.

For instance, increasing the interactive capacity of the game through additional features and gameplay elements. We're contemplating a lot of different ideas right now but we're really curious what people like to see in visual novels.

#Do you like pure, unadulterated visual novels with no real gameplay elements beyond collecting scenes and CGS?

#Do you like the added tension of timed choices (such as in The Walking Dead?)

#What about quick time events of the sort found in The Letter, or even Detroit Become Human?

#We are not interested in making any kind of stat raising game, but we were contemplating an element that allows you set certain personality traits early on in the game, which would then impact the content you unlock later in the game, or how certain story elements play out.

For instance (a very simple example) - if your personality is more knowledge/intelligence oriented when a specific character quotes an obscure piece of literature to you, the MC would automatically get the reference. Where a character not knowledge/intelligence oriented might either have to look it up, or simply wouldn't care.

#What about having some choices options locked for you (or unlocked) specifically because of choices you've made prior. We used this element somewhat in Changeling, but were thinking of expanding on this idea to be more obvious and more relevant in Endgame.

#Are there any other features that you think would be interesting to see? Point and click elements like interactive BGs? Something else?

Please let us know. Endgame is still very much in the planning stages so the possibilities are pretty much wide open and we really do want to raise our work to the next level for our next project. Changeling was pretty safe as a pure Visual Novel. It would be fun to spread our wings and get creative with Endgame (without going too crazy!)
