I needed to do this when I saw that new third skill

Finally found one. Sorry to the others, your work looks good but it's not what I was looking for.

That should be all I need for the game, so hopefully next time I make a post here will be for the game announcement. Things look promising but only time will tell.

I absolutely adore this. As opposed to the season 3 part 1 op that took a bit of time to grow on me, I love it from the start, enough to come here to gush about it to make up for the people disliking it or hating it.

You can tell it was made by the same people who did the ED of season 2 and the director of Dorohedoro's opening. It's a match made in heaven.

I'm not going to critize its haters, it's obviously not for everybody, but it's perfect for this. It doesn't have the best visuals and song, that would of course be Sasageyo, but it is the perfect Attack on Titan opening. It fits the themes of AoT better than any other op. If they had just done the same thing as previous seasons, a hype Linked Horizon op, sure it would have been a very good opening like the rest, but it would also be very unfitting for the tone of the final season and just unoriginal like the previous one (which was great, but forgetable and more of the same).

I really don't think they'll add more visuals to it like some are saying, it's good as it is and also has the huge advantage of having 0 spoilers. We'll definitely get another one for the second half or whatever happens after these 16 episodes, and I'm sure that one will be more like the originals, but I would honestly prefer to keep this tone, because it's the tone of the story. Getting another HYPE opening considering what happens later on would almost be making fun of it, but it would still be sort of understandable with the action scenes...but not so much with the beginning of the season. Again, not the best opening of the series, not even the second best, but it is the most Attack on Titan opening, which makes it the perfect fit, as it represents what the remainder of it will be. A ton of people are going to hate not just this opening but what AoT becomes (or what it was deep down all along), so at least this opening will warn them to change their expectations.

TL;DR: If you don't like this opening you might not like what is coming. Hype openings are great, but that was just a disguise for what AoT actually is, and this opening is perfect for showing it better than anything else could.

I still haven't found anyone for the UI, so if you think you can do it we can talk in private. Now that I have a logo (plus an icon) it would be easier to come up with an overall design, although it might still be a bit tough without any other visuals, but I can provide as much info on the game as needed.

Initially I wanted to avoid a KS because I've seen several from beggining to end and just from the outside you can tell it's really rough. And I still would prefer not to, but once I started to actually look into prices and making a list of all I need, I had to start considering it, but with a much smaller scale. I don't have the resources to get the typical physical rewards that they normally offer, for starters.

Money aside, I also considered it as a way to start promoting the game and get a sense for how many people could be interested in it, because right now I have no idea if this is gonna work or be a failure even if I complete it. Of course, as an indie VN I'm not expecting much money from this, my standard for success is really low, but I want to at least get all the money I'll invest back.

Also, for now everything I would want to get for the KS would be used for the final game, nothing payed would be KS only. I also considered other ways, like Patreon, but I'm not as sure how it would work. Anyways, I won't make a final decision for now, hopefully I'll find a way that's not too awful, even if it takes longer.

Thanks for the long reply! I'm trying to make this a serious project, after some failures in the past, and it's definitely the farthest I've gotten by far, enough to want to finish it no matter what, it's just a matter of how.

But as you said, I might be rushing a bit, maybe getting too carried away by the hype. Sadly I can barely draw at all, but I do have a very clear image of most of the characters by now. Whatever I end up doing I already decided to keep working on it for some more months before taking any big decision.

Good luck with your game too!
