Planning the next chapters
🕑 Added 2024-06-09 17:42:00 +0000 UTCWhen it comes to the Cursed Trial, I am in the phase of planning what will be discovered in the next chapter and what will be left for the last one. As the VN progressed, the unanswered questions only multiplied instead of getting a definite answer. :') But there isn't much time left, so I better start answering those questions.
I wanted to take a photo of my own notes and board, but someone might read something on them, so here is a stock photo I very much relate to. :D

There will be a lot of information in the last two chapters, so I'm wary of info-dumping the players. I know the main character should also have some agency and not just stand there. The last chapter should have some serious choices or consequences for previous choices. It's possible Aeryn/Yourname will spend time with completely different characters depending on your choices, and that's why I predict the last chapter will take the longest to write. That is also why I must give you some definite answers in Chapter 6, to reduce the amount of things that need to happen in Chapter 7.
But how do we put Kaisar's CG in the middle of the whole investigation? Maybe this time they can take that break while investigating together. :'D
I have some bits of conversation written, but I need careful planning and evaluation before I decide what to do with them.
I'm thinking that it wouldn't be realistic to learn every detail of what really happened in one route/playthrough. What if someone knows something, but won't tell you if your relationship is a certain way? It might be possible to finish the game and still not be sure about some detail, or have a reasonable idea about it, but in a different route you learn the truth and it was actually something else.

I sent you a message! (Sometimes people don't get notifications about them, so just to make sure)

yay, answers to the mysteries. im excited to see how the plot threads all get resolved, and to see the consequences of our actions. and also to have a Not Kiss with Kaisar, haha. It does make sense that some answers are only revealed if you maintained high relationships or made certain choices. It is an investigation after all. I imagine if you make a choice or miss something, you'll miss an answer to a mystery. Plus, it increases replay value lol. Keep up the great work!

100% agree. Not everything can be discovered. If I'm an absolute doll towards Bane, he should be more willing to tell me things than if I'm an argumentative ass. That just makes sense.

I think it does make sense that not every route will get the same amount of answers! It may also be easier to write in a more realistic way.
