A project that’s been in development for about a year (with a few gaps here and there) but was in my mind ever since that old version of the first episode. This is the continuation of the story, picking up from where we left off last time.
About the video
What this is not
Don't expect perfect editing visuals Canto style and I’m not promising you won’t hear a beat out of sync here and there even though my editing skills have improved in the past year and I've spent the last two weeks improving and correcting. Also even though I'm quite fluent in English it's not my native language so I'm not sure if I made any grammar mistakes even though it has been proofread. But... sometimes we miss small details.
What this is
This is a story driven video with a fun story to follow through. I made sure to create it in a way that will deliver maximum replay value. If you're a fan of quick cuts and scenes matching the music then you will enjoy it.
It’s made in a way that will seem familiar with the 1st one and brand new at the same time.
Premise
You wake up the next day unsure whether the incidents of Episode 1 were real or not. But quickly you are brought back to reality. With Lexi’s cryptic warnings in mind, you embark on a new adventure to find help with this endeavour of yours…
Structure
Episode 2 is part of a longer saga. Just like the previous instalment it’s split into 2 parts around 1.5 hours each (gameplay around 1 hour).
The rounds have a progression going from softcore to more hardcore without necessarily following a linear path.
Beats and Music
The music matches the theme of the round (mostly). Various genres and artists have been used.
Beats are 99% simple and easy to follow without having to think about it too much. I’m a big believer that the player should firstly be challenged by the visuals and the beat should just be there as a guide and not as a challenge itself. That’s why just like the first one there is no distracting beat meter either.
However, I’ve experimented with a few more complex beat patterns but they are scattered sporadically here and there and mostly in alternative rounds, side quests etc
Content
Various models have been used. I usually use ones that I personally enjoy. Some of them play bigger roles and are part of the story and others are just there cause I thought the scene looked hot.
In the end credits I just mention the names of the main protagonists but if you want any ID request just post it here and I’ll be sure to solve it for you.
RPG
Following the rules found in the Official 7DS rulebook will give you higher replay value and can keep you entertained for days. Also for those who are interested in the story, the rules provide a guide to enjoy the experience as it should be and avoid spoilers the first time they go in blind.
However, I mentioned it many times, most importantly is that you play the game the way you like. Make sure to have fun and screw the rules if you feel like it.
This episode contains:
*6 new bosses
*3 alternative endings
*3 punishments
*2 side quests (new mechanic)
What do I get from this download?
The download contains the main folder where you will find both parts of episode 2, the Official Rulebook and a few folders.
DO NOT OPEN THE FATE FOLDER. You can do that after you finish both parts otherwise there’s risk of potential spoilers.
In the folder Side Quests you will find the small mini games that you have the option to go to at specific times in the main game.
In the folder Promo Work there’s the banners for episode 2 as well as the teaser and official trailer.
Aaight… No more fluff
