Behind the scenes: scifi games again (Patreon)

If you follow me on the social networks you know already that I'm doing a new Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/winterwolves/save-the-world-1

Of course, people already pledging here will receive it once is done :)

Why I am doing another scifi game, if I said several times that all the ones I've done in the past sold badly (compared to my expectation and overall quality of the game)?

Well, first of all, I said I'd never do a BIG game like Planet Stronghold 2 again, and I am sticking to that. Save the World is a simple VN with four endings, so in term of personal time/money investment it's not even comparable to Planet Stronghold 2.

It's a different kind of game for sure, shorter (PS2 was 330,000 words long!! longest game I've ever made lol) but also mainly based in what I think an interesting idea (aliens coming to "fix" problems on Earth but in reality triggering a series of social, cultural changes) and last but not least, using a different art-style.

Now, I loved both Bionic Heart and Planet Stronghold art style. However, it's very different from the classic manga. See a comparison below:

Could that be a reason? Not sure, I think it's a matter of tastes, but this is why I'm going to give scifi setting another try!
