Lust is Stranger [2D-0.1-demo]

Hi folks!

Here's the first demo of the LiS remake project. It's not very long, but if you're interested in checking the new systems and the visuals you can download it here (click-bait: it features a first quick hot scene).

As I posted earlier, this time I'm trying a less convoluted stats mechanic and ditching the silent protagonist thing. The main argument of the plot is the same, but I'm changing a lot of the flow of the scenes.

Coming back to sprite skinning animated scenes feels like coming back home. Plus, I'm now rendering normal maps to ALL game sprites. Using these with the new Unity 2D realtime lightning helps a lot to build atmosphere in a way I couldn't do in previous games, and blurs a little more the line between 2D and 3D.

This build has a lot of new systems and it's the first time I'm publishing a game using Unity's new render pipeline and asset management, so nasty bugs might be around. Please, post any issues you find here !

See you soon,

Peace!

Way better even in these 2-3 minutes. 2D is definitely your thing, my friend:)

The "generate" button will help with that next release ;)

The Architect

Liked the demo, but could there be an option to use the default names of characters?

I prefer the previous version with how unique it was, and how events were progressing, think we were close to some H stuff. Its a shame that you had to switch but you gotta do what you gotta do. Just hope the H animations are as fluid.

Jason Jeffory

huh, 1st view gameplay was much better.

Recently i finished the demo, the reality is that I love your work and I'm eager to see how you make this story, I really liked this demo, I will look forward to the next versions

Got to play it today and it's excellent! Back to form of sorts :) I didn't mind the 3d attempt but I do prefer this "classic" style, well done. I don't know the "real" names of the characters so I'll have to check that since they wasn't set as default..

well the very least the models got improved, at least that is what i saw. i think this is a better aproach.

Just one constructive criticism. I liked Kate's looks more in the 3D version. Her lips are too small and thin in this one and she also looked more innocent in the previous version which fitted more her personality and the direction you were trying to go with her.

I am gonna miss the 3D 'Experiment' but this is also great. still gonna have 3D part laying around incase I wanna replay it for fun

kristian petersen

This is a very solid start honestly! The 3D 'experiment' was fantastic and it's still sad to see it go. But, this is more of the great work you've done before, and even better now :) Keep it going, this is gonna be a work of art before long!

Jeno

I disagree. To me the 3D version had potential to be the best adult game ever(and I'm not exaggerating). I really, really like the direction it was going. I'll still keep supporting him and check this version out though, as I trust Architect to deliver another awesome game.

Rick

Super excited for this!! Everyone and their grandma are over the moon for the new BaDIK release but THIS is what excites me, thank you. Can't play it rn though, at work :( glad you decided to skip the "silent protag" , verbal abuse/humiliation has been such an excellent feature in previous games.

Balvenie1401

So, I thought the 3D version was an interesting idea, but I was never as excited about it as your other games. It wasn't bad, just not what I was expecting. I have to say the 2D version is both more on brand and I like the look and feel of it much better. It feels much more expressive and focused. A few quick notes. I'd like the option for some default names and the ability to skip text. Other than that, looking great! Can't wait to see where this goes!
