Ask Me Anything
We have a good old tradition at our studio: every now and then, we let the developers out among the general public.
Not for long, of course, and strictly under supervision.
So, we're announcing an Ask Me Anything. Or rather, Ask Us Anything, because the people answering your questions will be the ones who write the story, create the art, render the animations, code, test, fix whatever the previous person broke, and then fix whatever broke while they were fixing it.
You can ask us absolutely anything.
How are characters created? Why does one scene take 3 days to make when a player gets through it in 40 seconds? How many versions of the same line must be written before the lead writer says, "Actually, the first one was fine"? Do the artists have favorites? Are there characters you sometimes wish you could quietly delete from the project along with all their source files? What do the developers read in the comments and then pretend they never saw?
You can ask about the writing, art, development, characters, production, future plans. However, one subject has been looking a little suspicious lately. Some members of the team have suddenly started paying very close attention to commas. Others are trying to figure out where a hyphen belongs. A third group is arguing over how respectable people are supposed to translate a very disrespectful word. And somewhere deep inside the Steam release of Streets of Sorcery, Cyrillic characters have been spotted.
We're not hinting at anything, of course.
The letter "Ы" is simply very beautiful. 😏
Anyway, leave your questions in the comments. We'll pick the most interesting ones, pass them along to our writers, artists, developers, and everyone else who keeps our not-so-little universe alive, and then we'll come back with their answers.

As with the previous game series, the MC DID get to have a holiday (as Europeans call it/ Vacation time, here this side of the Atlantic), will the MC ever get time off from the Ministry to visit old friends & family in-game?
With ALL of the established occupants of SOS-1 that our MC has encountered, have you (plural) given thought to how they maybe used as contacts for clues, or red-herring side quests with the MC in any of the further investigative cases in SOS-2?
I'm going to ask the obvious question. Where is the GOG version of Streets Of Sorcery? Is this something you submitted but never got a response for? If so, I can alert them immediately so that the game can be brought over there.
Do you have any future plans for Victoria? Now that our MC isn't her student, I feel like she might be more open to things with him.
Are there any plans to have Samantha and Haley back in the future?
Any chance if there is a SOS 2 and we plays James again of letting us recruit Lik Sam and Haley, Dakota or anyone else into DIS. saw i remember the story renders for sabrina and Claire any chance that get into 2 as a scene?
I just point it out that you sell your novel with pretty girl pictures and when you actually see screen captures its actually men getting on each other.
What next now that SoS is finished?
One of my reasons for leaving was the sudden addition of gross profanity - i.e. GD and JC or JHC I can take a damn, here and there, or an F bomb, or even a misplaced, comma. But I WILL draw the line at using the Name of God or Jesus to swear. THANKS for letting me rant
will there be more combat/free roam in streets of sorcery?
Will there be a sequel/sequels to streets of sorcery just like lust academy?
What is the process for developing a new character end to end? From ideation to asset selection and final modification.
Was there any mini game idea that was scrapped?
Are there any characters from Lust Academy who appear sporadically but you would wish to develop more?
