Development rumors.

Thanks for waiting and patience! We are going to finish assembly and make all tests within the month and hope the new update won't dissapoint you.

Team Borsch

February has come and gone and still no news, and I already missing Jack. I hope we get an update within the month and maybe a art or two while waiting to keep my spirits up. I do hope that Jack will finally get her time to shine, I wouldn't mind if boris, swarhz or hellsing gets to her first.

Berserker

I like it!

Hi! New patron here. My two cents about this outfit would be Jack wearing this in the mine and her uncle's friend taking advantage of her again. Of course she doesn't know it. He makes her think it's a blind cave worm again...

They've had some bad luck with posting dates so they tend to avoid it. Everything is going fine, they post a date, then something unexpected happens. https://media.giphy.com/media/xA2JymJXig9dS/giphy.gif

Hi, when the update is going to be posted?

Will we be following up on the Lucy story? More of the Vampire girl as well? More time in the mines? So many questions. So many possibilities. I'd better stop now before my momentum gets going.

PaddyOFurniture

Could you give some hints, what you have in mind for the next updates? More corruption of Sam and Jack maybe? Or more adventures on the cemetry? Maybe some exploring of the villa in the woods?

Plaron

Good classification. I think we also have to add Final Ending, which will be the logical end of the whole story, which is still very far.

Team Borsch

Oops. I think that I accidentally deleted my earlier post. Sometimes I think us old guys shouldn't be allowed near these new-fangled electro-typographers. To recap just so that we are on the same page. I suggested that it might be helpful to have common definitions of Dead Ends, Game Ends, Good Ends, and Bad Ends. I think that a Dead End is a story branch that just stops and the characters have to go back to progress further. I think that a Game End is a story branch that ends the game. I think that a Good End is a story branch that ends the game in a way that is good for the characters. I think that a Bad End is a story branch that ends the game in a way that is bad for the characters. All very obvious but I think that it helps with the discussion. As always, feel free to correct me if I have it wrong.

PaddyOFurniture

I agree 100% on this. This is one of the reasons that I tend to use the Wile E Coyote metaphor. Bugs Bunny might be better. Sure he takes some lumps but he never starts the fight and he's always victorious in the end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14KTu4i27j8

PaddyOFurniture

So. Branches of the story that are game enders. It makes sense. There has to be some jeopardy.

PaddyOFurniture

Well, I mean the chain of choices which lead to logical dead end. So you may watch it and press 'load game' then. to tell the truth, there was one, when Sam went to find Fi-fi unprepeared - the hell hound had just teared him to pieces, but Mr. Beef said that it was too violent, and declined that scenario. So, something like that

Team Borsch

I personally can live with one Report per month but I would not say no to more :).

Plaron

I'm Ok with, bad and not good end... or worse killing the 2 main caracters. But all of this must happen only at the end, and not during the game, because you d'ont have autosaves ;-). But yeah you can wrote all those idea on a paper and keep it for yourself for later. For now, there are other stuff to work on. Love to see that you are working also on monster with the little red girl :D. Good job guyz, i also prefer this kind of news. You don't give yourself pressure about a date, and you keeps us informed about advande of the game. Do you mind about giving a information to us at a specific date? Every month ? Every 2 weeks? Sometimes i'm feeling you gave up and abandonned us :-p... We all know you are humans who takes vacations, week-end and need some rest. We just care about beeing informed like 'customer' waiting for his package with a tracking number... xD Regards ;-)

pepegod

Yep. Those are pretty bad.

PaddyOFurniture

In this view I miss the ending. That is the way to an ending of good or bad :).

Plaron

I guess my problem is that I"ve been thinking in terms of an Infinite Game instead of a Finite Game. A game where opponents and obstacles are defeated only to be replaced by new opponents or obstacles and the challenge is for our heroes to deal with these trials and tribulations without losing themselves. Obviously there would be losses and setbacks but ones that could be recouped from. But that's just me.

PaddyOFurniture

The worst ends for me would be everything where Jack dies or gets into a situation from which there is no rescue for her. I mean a game over screen. 1. She is killed by a monster while hunting instead of being sexually exploited. 2. Augustus / van Hellsing extends his business to human trafficking and Jack ends up in a harem or dungeon of a rich pervert. 3. Jack is captured by the circus (physically or mentally controlled) and misused in a performance. Of course, it always depends on how something is written or told and whether there are ways to change this fate (cure or break a curse) so that the boundaries between the different ends can be very fluid.

Plaron

Also good bad ends that I would like to avoid.

PaddyOFurniture

Those are some pretty bad endings. Good work. Sort of.

PaddyOFurniture

Here are a few ideas for bad ends. 1. Jack succumbs to a real curse and becomes a werewolf, vampire or zombie and is either hunted and locked up by Sam or kills Sam 2. Sam gives up Jack's training and she takes on the only other witch hunter (van Hellsing) as a teacher. From there she is instructed in unclean business practices and becomes his successor. The background to this is that Jack is changing so that she is no longer herself but is still alive.

Plaron

Here are a few ideas for not good ends. 1. Jack removes the "curse" and becomes a perfect gentleman 2. Jack gives up wanting to become a witch hunter and goes back home (London?) 3. Sam's alcohol addiction rubs off on Jack to the point where she gives up her education and how Penny works as an "actress" with additional income The background for me is that Jack stays alive but is neither happy nor do we as players feel that we have achieved something here.

Plaron

Same question as Paddy, is it an abrupt end for bad ends or you're talking about options that'll most likely lead to multiple endings. By the way, I do hope for some sexy action from Jack and we'll we be getting the wolf since its little red riding hood and all? Will Jack be riding the wolf or will the wolf rode Jack?

Berserker

Just so I'm clear on this. When you mean 'bad endings' do you mean; a] bad endings that end the game, or b] results of decisions that the characters make that they consider bad but do not stop the game?

PaddyOFurniture

I think various options are plus points.

Anchor22

Endings? We've barely started!

I dont like the idea to think about the end so early

multi endings is great.

Drakenlord

im happy with multiple endings....makes you play the game more

Nick Snow

Agreed. You still want a good one around to work hard to get as well.

Iorath

MunchBudz

Bad endings can be fun as long as there's a good one that be hunted down.
