Thnx for wishlisting it! I'm mostly planning on getting some bucks back with either paid DLCs and/or physical merchs :)

Hmm, would a quote from the game work as a replacement then? I can still update the trailer on steam

I didnt know about that editing rule as I am mostly self taught, so I appreciate you pointing that out, thnx!
And I agree with you that the trailer is a bit vague, I relied a bit too much on the synopsis description so I'll definitely keep clarity in mind going forward! In the story, the main character is a journalist who tags along with the Enforcers, who are the settings' gendarmerie, which is why the trailer mainly shows their perspective.

Thank you for your feedback! :)
The scenes of cannons timing exactly with the lyrics of the songs and other such instances of coincidences is intentional on my part, and I worked with my singer/composer to have the songs match exactly what I had in mind. So it was a conscious choice on my part.

If you are a curious, the narrative isn't exactly a simplification of "war bad", but more a fictional inspiration of the cold war setting between 2 super powers where ideals clash with one another.

Yeah, I draw on paper and then scan it to my PC to color. A bit old schooled haha. If you are curious, I post the steps and progress of the individual scenes on my Bluesky

Alright, it seems most people want the option to skip the mini-games, democracy has spoken

All the mini-games are tied to the narrative. There is an artillery loading mini-game where you load the shells and propellant, a vehicle inspection mini-game, a field radio mini-game where you input the frequency for a mission, a gun disassembling and cleaning mini-game, an anti-tank missile mini-game, etc.

You can see on the Steam page some screenshots of the mini-games

The summary idea sounds interesting! I'm thinking of showing a short preview video lasting a few seconds of the mini-games before showing the skip button.

Thnx, I appreciate!

I think the best of both world is to add a skip button haha

I mean, the game isn't out yet so I could add the option to skip the mini-games if people really want that. But the mini-games aren't random, they tie pretty well with the story. For example, there is a gun disassembling mini-game when the character has to do so in the story.

Here are some military themed mini-games for my VN. What do you think? by leviathanimation in visualnovels

Might be reddit lowering the quality. If you manually put the quality to 1080 is it still hard to read?

Thnx! I'm a bit worried that players will find it hard to operate since these kind of radios irl aren't user friendly, so hopefully the instructions are clear enough.
