Glad to hear you enjoyed both of my games so much! As for your questions:
- Yes, I'm going to publish this game on Steam (if they allow me). The game has three acts and with Episode 11 we're nearing the end of the first act. I'll probably publish that first act on steam and offer the remaining acts as DLC in the future.
- It would be a shame not to revisit a couple of those women we've encountered so far... ;)
i really dislike the business model that seems to be evolving for these kinda games, dividing them up into acts/seasons, etc.
BUT, in this case, for the first dozen or so parts are in fact long enough to become one act, a rare thing..
if you were to make sure there are no cliffhangers, and the immediate story plotline is all resolved, and the DLC is pretty much a standalone story, then i have no arguments, and would be happy to purchase a 2nd act as "DLC".
i imagine you have three complete stories in mind - the escape/rescue, the return journey home, and the confrontation with the powers that be/return to grace. fair enough. makes sense to divide them given that the story has been written in long form, not short-story form.
(i mean, DLC should also be bonus content. not just charging people again just to be able to complete the game, which is what a lot of the other authors now using this model are doing).
~just my 2 cents worth, love the story!
Yeah, I get what you're saying. Some game seem to embrace the whole episodic thing a little too eagerly. I was on the fence about the whole acts/season decision, but if I wait until the entire story is complete it will be several years before there's a proper release here and on Steam. And as you say, there's quite a bit of content in those 12 episodes already. ;) Episode 12 will be a two-parter, in order to resolve a big plot thread.
