New Hope - Interactive Narrative Video Game (Pre-Alpha Look) (Patreon)

Hey everyone,

First things first, I know it’s been a little quiet around here. Don’t worry though, everything’s okay. I’ve just posted an update about what’s been going on, so if you’re curious about the behind-the-scenes stuff, that’s where you can find it.

But with that said, let’s jump straight into why this video exists.

Over the past few months, I’ve been working on something a bit different. I’ve been taking an Unreal Engine course to really understand how the editor works, how games are actually built, and what it would take to bring New Hope into a new format.

So what you’re about to see today is a test map which features various gameplay mechanics. It’s an early look at what New Hope could potentially look like as a fully realised narrative video game.

Before we dive into the showcase though, I want to clarify something important.

The New Hope visual novel is not going anywhere. It will absolutely continue. However, because I’ll be spending time building this test demo, New Hope will be the only visual novel project I’m working on for the time being.

I still want to keep bringing you updates and content, so for the foreseeable future everything I post will be New Hope focused.

With that out of the way…

Let’s take a look at what I’ve been cooking up.
