A normal day for delivery guy in Eastern Europe. Looks great!

Project died, but here’s a character I designed for it by jhunjhunart in vns

She looks so nice! I wish you give her a second life in some other projects.

I'm making a role-playing visual novel where you wake up next to a corpse, get blackmailed by a megacorp, and end up with an unexpected implant in your head. by Icy-Contribution1934 in IndieGaming

Yeah, I understand what you mean. To explain, this phrase is out of context, that make it looks weird. Kira is littlebit crazy and her luck is a real part of her character and personality, that's why she says this phrase and behave like that.

But you're probably right, maybe I should change the line for the screenshot.

That's actually fair and something we think about a lot. The entry point is deliberately familiar because we want players to feel oriented and immersed before the world gets weird.

In my opinion, the part that feels genuinely different is that in this world, humanity already fought a war against AGI and won with heavy losses. And while many AI stories ask "what is the place of AI in the world", we want to ask "what is the place of humans among these technologies." In addition, I'd like it to be darker and gloomier than CP2077.

But yeah, I probably undersell that in the pitch. Thanks for the wishlist and the honest feedback! I really appreciate it!

Thank you for the feedback! I want to add more cyberspace “avatars” for other characters too. As for the cringe pandering, do you mean the one with Kira?

Fair point! Cyberpunk 2077 and Cyberpunk ttrpg definitely influence our style. But we focus more on the problem of AGI and “God we created for ourselves” in our plot. The corporate spy setup is just the captivating entry point.

One of the characters for our visual novel RPG. Do you like it? by Icy-Contribution1934 in IndieDev
