I don't have any special news for you in this post regarding the update. I’m waiting for the programmer to have free time to start making the code so that I can start testing it all. Meanwhile, I'm finishing up the last scene and endings. However, I had an interesting idea.
I recently played through a game called “Atomic Heart” from Russian developers, which has been quite popular not so long ago. I am interested in the theme of history and the theme of alternative history just as well, so I bought the game. And without any spoilers I will say that the game’s endings feel like they were made in a hurry. I assume that the developers did not have time to finish the project, perhaps they ran out of money.
It’s quite similar to the situation we faced with this project. Some people wrote that they were disappointed with the way we finished the game. With the problems we had, both in terms of finances and time, we couldn't do a bigger project. But maybe someone knows how to finish the game in a better way than we did with our resources. So here is a small contest with some small prizes.
Terms and conditions:
Write an ending or endings for a game character you’re interested in. It must start after the end of the last battle, when we have the final conversation with Higrid. All previous events cannot be changed. You have to come up with a different ending for your chosen character(s) and justify it logically. Other than that, you are not limited in any way. Based on the results, I will choose three endings I like the most.
Deadline: 22.6.2024 (approximately two weeks from now)
Small prizes:
1st place - 4800 Steam points or 3 keys for our games
2nd place - 2400 Steam points or 2 keys for our games
3rd place - 1200 Steam points or 1 key for our games.
If there is only one submission, it automatically wins first place even if I don't like it.
Also, if some submissions get Steam points from other users, then whatever submission will have the biggest number of points will get rewarded with a bonus “Audience award”, which equals to 3rd place reward.
Go ahead, show us how you can do it better than us. If you can, of course)
Endings can be posted in the comments or in this thread (do not use spoilers):
