Thank you for your kind words! I continue to marvel every time someone outside my friend group ends up enjoying the game! 

Chapter 2's deadly life will be released when we're able to set something up with Unity, Xenko or a similar such program. This will likely take a *very* long time, so we don't have anything definitive in terms of schedule right now. We'll be making an announcement on the discord when we can come up with something more concrete. 

Thanks again^^ 

Hiya! It’s certainly a relief to hear that you thought the prologue was at least minimally tolerable and that you found the characters to be well-written! As previously stated, the initial target audience was extremely narrow, to the point where every character except Killmore (Monokuma) and Mii-Yu have at least a couple of esoteric inside references that no-one outside my immediate friend group would likely understand ><. They got phased out gradually after the prologue anyway, but everything else (including random gaming references such as Levitica’s Age of Empires II-style conversion method, just to name one of many) will be left in since they they’re things literally everyone *can* understand^^ 

 I’ve noticed that you’ve dropped by the discord! I’d love to hear what either yourself or Vee think about the rest of Ch 1 (daily life/investigation/trial). Our vision for the Chapter 2 trial will be massively ambitious, from the VA to the gameplay, so we’d really like to make sure we’re going in without repeating (too many of) the mistakes from Chapter 1. 

Thank you! 

Hiya Vee! I'm delighted (and shocked) to hear that you liked the prologue! If you want to play through the rest of Chapter 1, I'd recommend joining the discord server. Links to the remainder of Chapter 1 are posted there, as well as a soon-to-be-posted 'compendium' summarising the key events of Season 1. There's also the added bonus of being able to mingle with others who are interested in the project, as well as the full cast of voice actors/actresses that are on board for Chapter 2 onwards. The link is as follows: https://discord.gg/G9Yv657

If there's a reasonable response to Chapter 2, Team Alpha may go back and try to make Chapter 1 a tad more presentable before subjecting it to public release. I think there's simply too many latent flaws for me to feel comfortable doing that at this very moment. I hope you and anyone reading this are understanding of it^^. The lukewarm response to the prologue, though better than what I was originally expecting, has done little to allay those concerns on my end. I don't think it would be wise to split focus between making Chapter 2 and re-doing Chapter 1, which is why we're choosing to press ahead for now. 

At this point, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the Unity trial we have in mind for Chapter 2 ends up working well with the general implementation of VA (voice acting - the casting call I mentioned in the description actually closed two weeks ago and the quality of the auditions completely below me away). 

^^^Yes, I'm still terrible at concise writing. Please let me know if you have any other questions!^^
