Hi there! I played the game a few hours ago and I have to say it was great! I was wondering if you maybe had a tentative release date for the next episode (or the whole game, if that's what you're releasing next)? I'm really looking forward to it! <3
No, we do not. In my (arc’s) personal opinion, the hardest part of the game building is done thanks to Episode One. We have most of our sprites and assets and things like the GUI built, and I have a p solid plan for the narrative in episode two that I am super psyched about.
But the amount of time the team will be able to devote to the game will depend much on the reaction to episode one. So, we shall see.
Hello! I just finished the first episode of the game! I really liked it, all things considered. Though, Jake was kind of a meanie to Jane. Haha, I guess it's kinda following Jake and Jane's relationship in the comics. I do hope this'll improve in the next episode! Good job,guys!
Jake’s not mean but– okay yeah he’s kind of mean, but in a very specific way that awards him as much plausible deniability as possible. I genuinely love that aspect of his character and what a mess he makes of things.
There is a very interesting dynamic between Jake and Jane, in my opinion. The core of Jake’s character to me is his desire for a path of least resistance to make his life easier, and how that sometimes results in him stepping on people’s emotions (and then pretending he doesn’t notice).
It clashes remarkably with Jane, where a central part of her character is how she harbors a grudge towards anyone who does not intuit the things she wants from them, and will silently stew and build up resentment like a shaken bottle of soda until she explodes.
So it’s super fun and I love the Alphas a lot.
