"I don't usually play Dating-sims but..."

One thing that I've noticed from some reviews of Fading Hearts is that some of them come with the words "I don't usually play dating-sims but..." or say that dating-sims are something that they don't like. Yet they still enjoy Fading Hearts. Somehow this is getting into my mind that I'm somehow sitting on the key to growing the market that is traditionally a niche market into something more mainstream.

A little more of trying to think about it with little sleep after the break. Also! Talk about it on the Facebook page!

Maybe it's the high degree that the player can influence the story. What about the fact that I included casual gameplay elements with traditional-rpg elements and catering to two or more separate audiences?

I'll have to look into it.

Then I remembered one really good one. That would be Corpse Party!

Explanation of why after the break!

Change in Plans for the Future

In this dev blog entry I believe it's time to at least give an update to what's going on.

After reflecting a lot on what's happening and what I've been wanting to do I've come to a decision. The RPG project that I have been talking about before will begin production in a month and will be our next game to be release. The RPG project may take a few years to come out. This implies that IGW Ep. 1 will be delayed for a very long time.

We will be perusing our story-as-gameplay features that made Fading Hearts such a new experience.

More details after the break.
