Episode Edits | June Follow Up (Patreon)

Hi Travelers!

Thank you so much for your enthusiastic reception of our last Episode Edits post, and for all the ideas that you left in the comments and in our Discord channel! I wanted to give you an update on what I've been working on since that last post, and let you see some of the changes being made to June's E1 scenes.

Three new options have been added to the first choice menu! This gives you the chance to explore different options that your Traveler might choose after waking up on a strange ship with no memories.

If you're choosing Throw something at them you'll then get a follow-up choice to choose which object to throw, and June's reaction to each of them is pretty funny.

When June asks how you're feeling, the menu will change slightly depending on how you reacted to him first entering the room.

If you picked Freeze up or Shuffle back into the corner the menu will remove the option I'm fine, and instead add the option I'm scared, which has been updated from the previous choice (the old I'm scared has now been edited to I'm nervous).

If you picked any of the other options, the menu will remove I'm scared and add in I'm fine. These changes were made so the first menu and this one line up a bit better depending on your choices.

Also, if you choose I'm in pain the narrative will change depending on your choice in the first menu, as it felt a little strange to cower in a corner and then take some random pills from a strange man (sorry, June).

An additional menu has been added to break up the dialogue a little and add some more flair to the text.

We've also added an option in the final choice menu for those Travelers who aren't as comfortable with physical contact, especially with someone who is essentially a stranger (again, sorry, June).

Heading to the final scene with the music box, we've added in a new menu to break up the narrative, and will do something unique here for all the LI's so the scene doesn't feel as uniform.

And then there's a new choice Thank you for returning it added to the menu where June asks if you remember anything after discovering the music box.

The very last change is we're playing around with adding a menu for Traveler's reaction to the music box, so the narrative doesn't just automatically have Traveler crying and being emotional, but you'll get a choice instead.

We can also use the variable from this choice to affect how Traveler reacts to a couple of things at the start of Episode 2!

Please feel free to let me know what you think of these changes, and any other suggestions are welcome in the comments below! I'm really hoping to be able to make these earlier episodes a bit more dynamic and personalized for player experience, and your feedback is always so helpful for achieving that!

Next week we'll be shining the spotlight on Ryona in Episode 1! 🩵
