Hi, you can visit our official Discord to see if you can find the answers you're looking for : )

Thank you for your appreciation and support! I hope you'll continue to enjoy the journey with the girls. I'll keep working hard : )

MC probably won't reveal his face anytime soon. Perhaps there will be an opportunity for that in later episodes.

Dear lhender,

Thank you for your kind words! I deeply value player feedback and criticism. Since this isn't a commercial game, I believe all progress stems from the dialogue between players and myself. Without this input, both the game and I as a developer would stagnate - a terrifying prospect.

It's great to see we're on the same page about ditching branching narratives. Given my current circumstances and future development plans, I'm genuinely hesitant to create branching content I might lose control over entirely down the line. The game is still in its early stages, where every step matters. I'd rather focus on a single storyline to build experience first. I'm very interested in the AVN games you mentioned, like Out of Touch and Cozy Cafe, and plan to study their narrative strategies in my free time.

I hope this game will meet your expectations!

Dear hentaichicc,

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and balanced review! I really appreciate your kind words about the character designs, worldbuilding, and art style - hearing that it reminds you of City Devil Restart is quite the compliment!

You're absolutely right about the pacing concerns. The reason behind the slower relationship development and world-building is actually quite simple - I initially planned this as a long-term project with a 3-4 year story outline, so there's a lot of content to cover. Combined with being a solo indie developer working full-time elsewhere, I can only develop during my spare time. The current 3-month update cycle is honestly my limit, and even then I often find myself scrambling near deadlines! I'll definitely try to accelerate both character relationship progression and world-building in future chapters.

Regarding meaningful choice branches - you've hit on something I struggle with. Currently, all my choices are designed not to affect the main content because I'm honestly intimidated by creating real branching narratives. Once you add true branches, you need additional story design and have to consider conflicts and bugs between different paths. Perhaps when I become a more experienced developer, I'll tackle substantial choice systems, but for now I'm still learning the craft.

Your idea about choices that can damage relationships is intriguing, though it would require careful consideration of consequences (like potentially removing characters from the main storyline).

As for choosing between female characters - that's definitely the plan! However, we're not yet at the point where MC can develop serious romantic relationships with any of the main girls. There can be intimacy, but not lifelong commitment or marriage (since that would bring our main story to a halt). In the current design, MC will gradually develop emotionally meaningful interactions with all the main characters, but dedicated romantic routes with individual endings will likely come after the main story concludes.

Regarding the H-content-related issues you and others have raised - we recently set up a Discord server where more detailed discussions on this topic and other development insights are shared. If you're interested in these discussions, feel free to join anytime!

Thanks again for your understanding about solo development. Your support means a lot!

With gratitude,
Bigh4nd

Hi Messyuan

Thank you so much for your kind words, and thank you for appreciating the game's music! I'll keep creating with your encouragement in mind.

Yes, this game will feature solo routes for all main, along with a harem ending after completing romantic stories!

Hello Arendelle!

Thank you so much for your support and detailed feedback! I'm truly honored that you've compared my work to the Metro series.

Regarding the adult content suggestions, I've indeed received quite a bit of similar feedback from players. As a creator, I've been contemplating how to balance maintaining story integrity while also meeting players' expectations. You're absolutely right that I've been too conservative with the pacing of romantic relationship development.

In upcoming updates, I'll be accelerating the emotional development between characters and gradually incorporating more adult-oriented content. Of course, as you mentioned, I'll ensure these elements blend naturally with the storyline rather than feeling forced or excessive.

Hi Distant100miles,

Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback. You've hit on a criticism that several players have raised, and I want to address it head-on. You're absolutely right that the MC feels frustratingly passive in these early chapters, and I take full responsibility for this design flaw.

As a relatively new developer, I made some poor narrative choices that left the MC feeling powerless. Too many scenes where he can't fight back effectively, gets knocked out, or loses his gear - I understand how aggravating this must be when you want to play as someone who can actually handle themselves in this harsh world.

While I do have long-term character development plans for the MC (this is intended to be a multi-year project where he grows significantly), I realize I've been too heavy-handed with the "start from the bottom" approach. A compelling character arc doesn't require making the protagonist feel weak or incompetent for extended periods.

I'm actively reworking upcoming content to give the MC more agency and opportunities to demonstrate competence. You'll see more moments where he takes initiative, outsmarts opponents, and shows the skills that justify his cool appearance. The next major update will specifically address these concerns.

Thank you for your appreciation

Hi WJXWDS,

Thank you for your concern. I will gradually introduce more of the content you mentioned ;)

Hi Distant100miles,

Thank you for your appreciation. In the early stages of planning the game, I also considered making an RPG or other more interactive games, but considering that I had no experience in game development and my personal career plans, I ultimately decided to develop it as a visual novel project in my spare time ;)

Thank you for your love and interest :)

I finally gathered the courage to read your 'long version' review. I was hesitant at first - reading thoughtful feedback on something you've poured your heart into can be both exciting and overwhelming. But now, let me honestly express my feelings.

Your thoughtful analysis and kind words have genuinely moved me. Your understanding of the themes, characters, and world I've tried to create in Apocalypse 2059 is astounding - you've captured exactly what I hoped to convey, and even noticed details and connections I wasn't sure anyone would discover. I've put considerable effort into character design. I love each character, treating them like my own children, trying to think from their perspectives. I wanted each character to have a compelling story and three-dimensional personality, maintained through their consistent motivations and deeper contradictions throughout. Each character is vibrant and alive, not just placeholders or inferior products designed out of plot necessity.

Moreover, your observations about the visual design, the symbolic meaning of focal length changes, and how lighting choices reflect the emotional tone of scenes - these insights are incredibly validating for me as a creator. I did incorporate some small design elements, and I'm delighted you discovered them, although they aren't fully refined. I've never formally studied these techniques before, and I'm still exploring these skills and designs, but I hope to do the best within my capabilities.

Beyond these two aspects, I have many more reflections and feelings, but I cannot summarize them clearly at the moment. I'm sure I'll spend a great deal of time reading and rereading your review, as its value speaks for itself. Please rest assured that this feedback won't create any artistic obstacles or pressure for me. Instead, it has strengthened my resolve, confirming that all my efforts and designs are worthwhile - they're simply waiting to be discovered.

Most importantly, thank you for reminding me to enjoy telling my stories. Creation can sometimes feel overwhelming, but passionate players like you make it all worthwhile. I'll keep your suggestions close to heart as I continue developing this world.

With gratitude,
BigH4nd

Thanks for your comment :)

Hi adyin

Thank you for your favorite, and yes, this game has an official Chinese translation, it was done and handled by my Chinese localization collaborator XerxesBreak. You can choose either English or Chinese in the game.

Dear nicknocknick

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! I'm truly touched by how deeply you connected with the world and characters of Apocalypse 2059. I'm particularly happy that you enjoyed the "Character Tales" - it was designed to give players exactly that deeper connection to the characters as you mentioned. And thank you for pointing out the bug with the tales resetting when closing the game. You're right about it likely being a Boolean value storage issue, and I'll make sure to fix this in the next update.

I look forward to creating more memorable experiences for you in future versions. Your detailed feedback is incredibly valuable and motivating for me as a developer.

Thank you again for taking the time to write such a comprehensive review :D

Hi scyzqmk

Thank you for your valuable feedback regarding the characterization of the protagonist. Your observation that the protagonist seems a bit too passive in the story so far is spot on, and this is designed primarily to leave plenty of room for the character to grow so as to fully characterize his character arc and reveal his inner conflicts; that is to say, there will be more proactive moments in the future to showcase his own strengths. All in all, this is a project that will last 4-5 years, so please look forward to the subsequent storyline, and thank you again for your encouragement!

Thank you for your support :)

Thank you for your appreciation and I hope that the subsequent storyline will fulfill your expectations :)

Thank you for your appreciation.

Yes, I've noticed this and I'll try to make an android version and if all goes well I'll release it in the next big update.

Hi Playboy420

Thank you for your kind words and encouragement, it warms my heart. It's strengthened my heart to create this visual novel in the first place.

In fact, I didn't expect my game to receive so much attention and support from so many players, so yes, like you said, I've been grateful to all the people who love this project since the first day it was released. 

I've always believed that the people who love my game are my most valuable asset :)

Yes, I think I'll make an android version, I need to learn how to build it from now on. If all goes well, I'll update it along with the next version ;)

Thank you for your support and kind words :D

Hi Leo_22357

Yes! All female characters in the game may become potential love interests, and in subsequent stories you may be able to develop relationships with them through your own choices.

I think all girls are protagonists and it's normal for each player to fall in love with a different girl, and I try not to ignore any of them.

Hi NoParking1

I can assure you: this game does not contain any NTR elements, either now or in the future. There will be no plot where a rival steals the girl away.

Hi randomuser6728

Thank you for your interest in this! Let me answer your question.

The first thing that needs to be made clear is that I'll probably need to cater to the largest number of players first and foremost, and offer as many options as possible on top of that. As for your question, I don't have a particular preference in that regard, so I'll make them as widely distributed as possible in terms of size, from small to large in all types, you get the idea ;)

As for features you mentioned above, I haven't planned it out in detail at the moment, but your suggestions are excellent! I think I can list the planned content and the content that will never come on this page, and update the former as much as possible to make sure that players are able to get a first-hand look at the genres of this title and decide whether or not to play it based on their personal preferences.

Thank you for your kind words, it warms my heart and I wish you all the best <3

Thanks for your kind words :)

I can assure you and all players that NTR will not be added to the game in any form. I don't have any plans for lesbian/bisexual or femdom content at this time, but if a large number of players want this type of content, I may consider it from now on.

Of course, including the lesbian/bisexual content I mentioned, as well as any other content that might trigger your displeasure, I'll be implementing those elements in ways that can be avoided. I want to make the main storyline meet the expectations of many players, with IF routes and choices to cater to a variety of preferences. I want everyone to enjoy the game on their own playstyle. 

I wish you all the best

Hi maskall
Currently no, because I've never been exposed to such content. But people get pregnant all the time, don't they? 
I'll consider this if my supporters like it. Thanks for your comment ; )

Thanks for your comment.

Nice to meet you, Rockero69

I've been away from online interactions for a long time, so I'll answer your questions one by one :

・About "content": Don't worry. Players can choose 'pure love' scenarios, and all unpleasant elements can be completely avoided.

・About "ending": At the moment I'm not planning my ending very meticulously, as it's a long term project. The currently released version is about 25% of the first chapter of the first season (excluding the prologue and special chapters). The harem ending is a sure thing, it's a lighthearted visual novel, no girls will die or receive damage, and there aren't any same-sex competitors to snatch up girls from you. It's just like any other relationship simulation game you've ever played.

・About "tags": I'm still not very familiar with tags, and I will correct any mistakes. I try to make the tags accurately reflect the game content, not just to create topics.

If I've misunderstood your concerns, please let me know in your reply ;）
