Hello, everyone! Hope you're doing well.

So, you may be aware that JPDE2's development has stalled somewhat. We're kind of on the cusp of restarting, but before throwing myself back into the fray, I need to get some feedback.

Because I realized that JPDE2 - Adagio of Darkness has gotten a little bit of scope-creep. First a normal VN, then I added the RPG elements, now the Dating Sim parts... This is becoming a huge endeavour and while all those features may still be on the table one day, I need to start prioritizing things if we want to see this thing finished in any way shape or form one day...!

Thus, I ask you... What are you looking forward to in JPDE2? Why do you play the game?

THINK CAREFULLY ABOUT YOUR REPLY, BECAUSE THE RESULTS WILL INFLUENCE THE DEVELOPMENT OF JPDE2 GOING FORWARD.

I wish I could vote for both characters and the story. Since I believe that's what made JPDE1 amazing. The story had solid stakes and didn't feel overly cliche, and the characters that did get screen time were well thought out, didn't take over the spotlight and were fleshed out way more even during their dating events

Mainly the characters and the story for me, that is what made me fall in love with JPDE1, the lore is fun but it is more fed from the story... whilst a game can have very standard game play but if the story and characters draw you in you keep coming back to the series: as an example the Tales Of series has similar gameplay and loop but they keep getting good sales, same with the likes of Dragon Quest and Fire Emblem not to mention the worst offender in pokemon. So yeah, go with what your best at and concentrate on your amazing story and characters, these will feed the lore and gameplay can be basic as long as we are drawn in by the characters. Hope to see more of your great games soon.
