Oh, god. I'm gonna make this quick this time, but I had to talk about this.
I just got to one of the worst ending, being a proper ass to almost everyone, and it felt horrible. I did get two new visuals, but at what cost? XD
I realised also that one of the visuals I didn't have was because I had to play as female Ren. So now, I'm only missing one for Matt, one for Diego, and one for Others.
Also, thanks for your last answer. I feel like there was nothing very important to add, but thanks again for the kind words :)
Thanks for the answer!
So, first thing first : Joel, huh? I'm quite sure this isn't gonna make my choices down the line easier. I like the little bit I saw about him, and out of them all, he is the closest to how I would describe my type, so yeah, he's kinda cheating. Lol. I'll admit though that I alreday knew he was coming, cause I read a few messages here, and I know a bit about what's coming in v0.4. Can't wait to see Diego without his shi... I mean, learn a bit more about him.
(Seriously, though, I like to joke about it, but I really am more invested in the story than the rest. Even if I can't deny it is a very nice bonus that they look good topless)
I don't want to spoil too much to someone reading comms - like I did - but Matt's new side when you go the Adrian's route was already quite surprising. Didn't think he was gonna go that hard. But I'll be happy to see more of him. Though, I still need to hunt his last 3 visuals.
I love this reshaping thingy you implemented. It must be hell to track and adjust during one playthrough, so I totally get why you reduced the number of echoes. It's actually a nice thing. Cause if the whole game is that hard as the beginning to get visuals, it could ruin the fun at some point (if you're a collectionist and want them all). Like you said, all the minor variation are nice to read, but hard to get. I got another one yesterday I enjoyed quite a lot, to be honest. I managed to get close to Diego using my discussion with Matt about tatoos, I didn't know it was a thing.
I'm not sure we were talking about the same thing when I said branching scenario trees. I meant a way to see what choices we made, and where are the ones we missed. Like in Last Virtue's Reward (and its successor Zero Time Dilemma), or 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim.
Thank goodness I don't have to win that fight. Lol. I was ready to try hard the whole thing, but didn't really want to. Haha.
I feel like we need some darker moments to get more invested, so I don't mind. I don't like sobbing stories just for the sake of it, but when it's subtle and is here because they are humans, then I quickly get behind that.
Now, I'll need to replay some more games and try to get other visuals. Lol. Thanks again for the answer. Seeing you being so genuilely happy to talk about it (or at least, you're good at faking it :p) is great. I hope you'll keep this joy working on this game. See ya :p
Hey Zaak! Luhnaire here ! (Yeah, I'm stealing that greetings :p)
So... I may or may not have played the game regularly since last time because, well... I did say I was invested, and it was hard not to. I hope you don't mind, because I just wanted to talk to someone about my experience with it.
I finally got to spend time with Diego. And... well, let's just say it's gonna be hard to choose between him and Matt. I really like his sense of humor and how he cares. It does feel like he was well written, so good job on that.
Also, I fumbled a bit with the game and tried every things I could think and am still missing around 40% of the visuals, so guess I'm actually quite bad at it. Lol. I think I saw a post where someone asked if we will get some kind of "branching scenarios trees" (I hope you get what I mean, cause I'm not an English native, and I really don't know how to say this better. Lol), but do you still plan on doing this at some point? It would help a lot for sure, but I can see how hard it'd be to do it when you have all these echos. Also, searching has its charms, but I feel like I'm so stuck right now that I don't know what to do anymore, even though I'm missing so much. I fear that I need to be really mean to everyone just to get what I don't have, though. And... with Diego and Matt looking at me like that, I need to steel myself for a wild ride. Lol.
I did go through the Harry route, too, but... As much as I wish he'd get better, I don't see myself romancing someone like that. I hope I'm gonna be able to help without romancing him.
I went through Adrian's route too and it felt terrible to be an assh*le to everyone. Plus, this route led me to this specific fight that feels impossible to complete... Is it, though? I feel like what I'm missing for Matt might be behind this, but it feels so hard.
Other than that, I hope everyone on the team is doing great, and I wish you all a great day. Expect from me again (if you don't mind) as I go through my journey with Trueclash :p
Oh, wow. I knew you answered to every one on the comments section, but I didn't expect it to be such a long answer. I won't lie, it feels nice :p
I wasn't expecting that you would be so happy about my message either, and I'm just as glad as you seem te be. Aha.
As for your advice, I'll... try? I already kinda failed, cause I replayed the game earlier. Lol. I met Joel, Mafalda, Viktor, Lisa, and the bartender (can't remember her name right now). But it's even worse than I thought. It's so hard to be mean to Matt (and the narrator being a simp is hella fun XD). I genuinely like him. It's so hard to ignore him to try and talk to someone else. Lol. I'm quite sure I'll like Diego, while Joel has piqued my interest for sure. Mafalda also seems great, but not as a love interest for me. I do love good side characters as well, so I'll be happy to see more of her too :p
When you talk about this game, it feels like we like the same kinda characters, so I'll be happy to learn a bit about everyone (except maybe Adrian. Lol).
I do hope you'll take care of your health, though. It feels great to know you love this project, and that you'll take good care of it. I saw somewhere that you use AI, and as an artist myself, it's a bit sad, but with limited budgets, I can get it. I know you hired artists, too, so it's not only a question of willing to.
I'm really glad you can appreciate even my small support, and I'll be sure to try and check regularly for progress.
Also, maybe the comments section isn't the best place to talk like that? I know my messages are long, so I don't expect answers every time, don't worry.
Good luck for the game, and I hope I'll see you another time on next update :p
Hey. Found out about your game a few days ago, and finally tried it yesterday. I created an account here just to make this comment, cause I'm more or less in love with the project. Aha.
So far, I haven't tried a lot, but that's because I'm the kinda guy that can get very invested in the story. Because of that, I need to do the full game at once, for me to prevent frustration. But one thing is for sure : I will wait.
First, the game looks incredible. It's rare to see something so pretty, and I will admit that's what made me check True Clash at first.
Reading a bit about this page made me increasingly interested, though. The characters being at the center of it is what I feel like is the best way to do it. I really hope I'll love this, because it feels like it's the perfect game for me. I'm a bit tired of games saying it's centered on characters and is actually just about NSFW content. Here, I can already say just from the version I played (I followed one of Matt's route) that I will feel emotional, and I love it. Aha. I know I'm curious about Matt and Diego, at least. The new redheaded guy sure is my weak spot too, so I'll definitely try him too. Yeah, I got a thing for redheads.
All in all, I wish you all the best, and I really hope you will be able to complete the game (I'm a bit scared about that, cause so many games never see it to the end, despite having some kickstarter campaign).
I wish I could help you and I'll consider throwing some money at you, but I'm almost jobless, so sadly, it's a bit hard for me. But you have my full support!
Good luck to the team, you're great!
