Since I played this game I really loved the idea of the path selection. (obviously my favorite is Joseph, GOD HE IS SO PRETTY) but since act 4 I had a doubt: would.. it be possible to add cross routes that end up in a good ending??.
splitting your attention onto 2 compatible characters and a different and completely new route unlocking.
I know this is just a game made by 2 people and that it would add a lot of new work, if I knew how I would do it myself like a mod of some sort, but.. not paths with EVERY SINGLE CONVINATION, I thought about it.. and I have come to the conclusion only 3 routes would be possible to make it work without a weird thing happening
I know it would probably be impossible to make what I think, but it has been in my head for days and at least I want someone to know what I'm talking about, Hell, even a Modder could make it happen some day if it doesn't get added officially.
the idea came to me in a scene in Joseph´s route where he goes to sleep and our (since the trial) sexy PJ talks to Ridge about he being jealous because of our relationship with Jo, and then we say to him "since I cant treat you like a boyfriend, how about a best friend?", and then I thought about the cross route idea.
the first one being obviously the Joseph x Ridge route, splitting attention and then maintaining a good relationship with both, the confirmation that you did well being you being able to take both Joseph and Ridge at the same time to the waterfall and from then on I.. wouldn't know what is next since I'm not the writer, but the idea is there.
the second route ALSO HAS JOSEPH IN IT, (this is not fanboy delusions, it actually makes sense).
it would be a Joseph x Runan route, since that confrontation I cant get the idea of a sandwich out of my head, same shit but this time it would be like a rivalry for who gets the most love, but with time they get along, for the first.. time..(????, (sorry.. I only played the Joseph route and a little of the Runan.. but I actually don't know if they end up liking each other qwp) but basically the same.
and the last route (maybe a weird one but it totally works) the Leo x Jin route, ....... NOW HEAR ME OUT, I never figured out if they are biological brothers or nah, so this would make sense if they are not, again, hear me out, those 2 definitely have something going on, (that tit flick.. damn).
I would love for this 3 routes to be real and playable, but.. obviously it would be hard to make.. so it may never be a thing, but dreaming IS a thing, so if either RRuuichi or DaSinBun are reading this.. I hope at least we can get this when you finish the game qwp, or maybe like a update for each of this.., or maybe a Modder can make it into reality, either way if anyone stayed until the end, thank you.
I hope this gets to either of the creators
love ya all!!
While I do appreciate you sharing imaginative ideas, I remember the devs saying that romancing two characters at once just isn't feasible, as it would require dramatic changes in storyline, engagements with other characters...pretty much almost everything in the game, really.
And as one would expect, such changes would eat up time and resources, perhaps unnecessarily.
I...wouldn't get your hopes up, if I were you.
yep.. that's why i think a Modder can make it, i.. really wouldn't mind making the story plot of each of these.. but i wouldn't be able to make the codding, even less the art if needed, you can't just use the same images in the game for that 2 character route idea, the photos of the river/lake would have to get at least 3 new ones, one for each route featuring the 2 characters
