Quest Failed: Chapter Two - Character Trailer
Hiya there,
While you've had small glimpses of characters here and there from various dev logs, I figured since so much of it is coming together at the moment that I would take the time to put a small trailer up featuring many of the characters you can expect from Chapter Two, along with a preview of their voices!
I hope you enjoy it, as it was (a big massive headache with so many resources to put together buuuut) fun to make~

Really wondering, with Jacob is there going to be any trap encounter with him since he's so cute and girly looking. I would love that, since you don't see it often in western visual novels
Hiya! I can say that there won't be any scenes with him in that way. Though I definitely have plans to utilize him in some way or another ; P
Hey, it's looking good but I thought I'd give few thoughts on the designs. This will probably come across as overly critical but trust me I'm a fan. Loved the first game and just thought I'd mention some things. - Love the Mermaid design. The blue works well for her and she seems very cute. The voice seems a tad too similar to other cast members though. For a second I thought I was hearing Jilly. - I'm not sure if Ren is supposed to be Asian... I assume so since she's in a sort of ninja garb, but if she is, she could stand to look actually Asian. Like she looks kind of off right now, and honestly the whole ninja thing doesn't mesh well with the fact she looks caucasian. Might just be me though. I think her idea is cool though, just needs a bit of fine tuning. - Not a fan of Bella, though I'm not really a fan of plant based characters honestly, but unlike the others girls she doesn't seem very inviting. Like the others there is something alluring but that is missing with her design. Thorns don't help much in this regard. - Not a fan of four blonde human characters, especially since they're all very safe and somewhat generic in terms of design. Wouldn't hurt to have a tad more ethnic diversity here since we have more human characters now, but I'll reserve judgment until I see more of the cast. At least some different hair colours and haircuts. - Like Anna overall, a little generic too but I'm a sucker for country accents. Like the orange hair, works well with the rest of her outfit. - Claire seems fun and visually the most interesting of this new cast. The designs in general seem rough but I assume they just haven't been finalised yet. Well these are my thoughts, I hope they might be of help. Looking forward to the next chapter.
Hiya, Thank you for taking the time to write out your thoughts. It's much appreciated! I always welcome criticism and am constantly striving to improve things~ In regards to the character designs--in most cases they are in fact final, and there isn't a lot of resources available to be able to tweak and adjust them due to some of the initial artists having unfortunately left early on after completing their sprites, each with their own distinct styles making it harder for current artists to match and amend existing pieces. If there was enough demand, I could potentially have some redrawn and redone, though feel this would take from the current resources being focused on h-scenes and could risk setting things back a fair amount. I don't want you to feel I'm dismissing your criticisms or anything like that--though art has been something of a battle to secure consistent artists that are dedicated long term, especially for Chapter 2 and can only realistically do so much with the art. In terms of diversifying things, I will take this account when designing new characters. Thank yas again for taking the time to comment~
Wow! So many new characters!!! Ren reminds me even more of Yuffie now that I've heard her voice hahaha
Yuffie was definitely an inspiration, haha, going for that cheeky, energetic kind of ninja~ She was always one of the more underrated FF characters : D
Wow, it's really coming together! :) Awesome work. I can't wait. :D
Yessss, it's been a crazy year so far and I've been so happy to see so much of it come together slowly. Really aiming to make something special here!
Cute~
Damn, for a while now I've been a lurker but this is really encouraging to buy a game on release.
Hopefully near release I'll have an official demo out for it which should help you to make your decision~
mattyy better stock up on heal potions X3. Although what looks like a mimic reminds me of a doujin with a friendly one and how her lover helped her get around. Adde wheels to the bottom of her chest XD)
Haha, gosh, I think I remember seeing that one. That was adorable~ I guess we'll have to see the fate of this mimic though
So many new playmates for Matty, he better start to build up some stamina ^^
He's had good practice in Chapter One. He's prepared for this!
looking good
Yeah ch2 is on track!! Can't wait to see how it's going to play out. This is far more ambitious than chapter one
For sure, haha. The beginning opening part of Chapter Two is more complex and has more choices so far than the entirety of Chapter One did. Bug testing is going to be fun for sure ; P
You're spoiling us, really... ;)
haha, mayyyybe--but I feel like I've been fairly tight lipped on a lot of chapter 2's development, so what better way to break that silence than making a big massive reveal trailer : D
