Reading your description I saw your explanation as towards why you are using different art for this version. I respect for respecting the original artists wishes.
Art aside, are there anything you think you might do differently in this version then original version? I ask this, because I played with the original SimBro some years ago. There were some things, yet other things I dislike. And the things I dislike were enough that I probably would not have pursed trying to finished the game, if they ever did finished it. So I am wanting to know if there is a chance you might do some things different, to see is it worth me to try following your development or not. If the answer is no, that's fine. I will accept this will not be my type of game then.
Hey BlueFrogKing!
Yes, we do plan to do things differently from the original. We plan to rework all the dialogue, systems, and gameplay to make the game feel more "modern". We're also adding features and systems to the game that the original didn't have like a mission screen and tutorials. We would love to hear what you disliked about the original game.
For me was scenarios of sex without consent. I remember there your times were could fight people, and if you and they were female, you have your characters to force sex on the defeated person. Or they could force sex on your female characters if they defeated you and female characters in your party.
Also salves...... I do not know why slaves a was thing in the original game. I tried to avoid the whole slave and dungeon thing, but somehow I still ended up with slave prisoner, I cannot remember details. It involved something with that thing that searched other dimensions for stuff. Maybe I chose poorly with a character without understanding the outcome of my choices. Regardless, I am not necessarily against the idea of taking prisoners if a game maker wanted to include such a function, but I would not want to rape or abuse them.
The following is just explain were my lines would. I understand they might sound like suggestions, making suggestions is not my goal. I just do not know how to better explain what my lines are in any other matter. I would rather options of trying to charm and winning them over to join my side of things, or release them if that fails and seems unlikely to happen. Or giving them to law enforcement for a bounty reward, assuming they have criminal record and have outstand warrant. Or lacking a criminal record, maybe ransom, maybe. I understand the ramson idea or charming a prisoner to join me would be a grey area, but they would have been a grey areas I would have been comfortable with then what was in the original game.
Those were things that bothered me in the original game. If those are things you actually want to keep in this version, then I will move on and accept this will not be my kind of game.
