Wow looks nice~
Would be looking at this.

Nice to see this project.

Will the characters of the persons stay the same like in Anton's Vacation?
And how many episodes are you planning? Seems the setup would allow a massive story, but...

The cast size is way too huge and you're putting together genres which really shouldn't be merged together. No matter what, your readers are probably going to read less than 50% of your game, meaning 50% of your assets will probably be wasted. I expect this will be another repeat of Rising Angels, with a huge cast of characters which people can't keep track of. Except you're probably abandoning all the work you did for Rising Angels to make this, which is a huge waste.

...I have the same fear.
Too many characters might make it too complicated.
Unless you let them appear really only 1 per episode, like Sora or her husband in Anton's vacation.
If so, then my next question would be who the main characters will be. I assume the first few, right?

-> I liked Syl more in Anton's Vacation .

Looking at between 13-15 episodes of about half an hour playtime each. Almost all the characters will be staying the same, as they come from the larger series that AV is a part of. I am trying to get back to a closer, more canon version of certain characters, but there's no major changes.

I'm really starting to regret showing the cast for the entire 15 episodes. Most of these characters are minor, playing small roles in different episodes. Some of them will play larger roles, almost anybody from Anton's Vacation will likely be prominent. However, people like Tpr. Mallace or Rivet are going to have their moments once or twice, but they aren't title characters. Stealing a moment from the Avatar: The Last Airbender series, there are a few main characters there. However, imagine the series without King Bumi, Ty Lee, or Avatar Roku. Same principle. Having a large character pool isn't bad, it is how you use them.

-> I liked Syl more in Anton's Vacation .

I was actually very displeased with Syl's sprite in AV. >.<; I had to use a base that wasn't fitting of the original character design. When I think of Syl, I always think of... Syl 1 or Syl 2. The AV sprites were too... out of place for who Syl is.

Due to a drama behind the sprites that I'm not in the mood to fight over and proofreaders disappearing, WV will not be publicly released and the episodes will be released privately. I would like to thank everyone for their time, I'm sorry this couldn't work out... again.
