Yes, it is a sequel following the same character. I imagine there will be a way to import your old character once it is published, but I doubt it would work on dashingdon. For now, I have included the same character creation questions to allow the player to recreate their character from the first game if they played it.
In the part I have written so far, I have included the old regiment and surviving characters from First Bull Run, as well as some references to your character’s experience of the battle. I am quite pleased with how the story is coming along, and excited for the future!
Have you considered making each campaign a paid episode under the same game, ala Zombie Exodus: Safe Haven? I feel like a system like that might work well for the style of game you have here, instead of a bunch of smaller games released separately.
My game did receive content review, but I passed without any issues. The process was quite easy and straightforward. Only issue was that I didn’t have a scene list, and I later found out that some of the pictures I used might not be 100% public domain, so I replaced them just to play it safe.
If I may ask, how did you find out? I’m also planning to use a lot of public domain art assets for my next game, but running everything through Google Lens and AI art checkers is a gigantic headache… and I’m still afraid something might have slipped through somewhere.
Copyright is always a pain to work with, but a necessary one.
It is a huge pain. I had to search every single one in google. Fortunately, most were from Wikipedia, and Wikipedia lists the rights on the picture. Also, pictures taken by people who died in the 1800s are pretty much all public domain by now. There were a few where someone posting the picture claimed rights to it, so I took those out. From reading the copyright rules, I don’t think they can legally lay claim to pictures taken in 1862, but we decided to play it safe, because those rules are unbelievably complex.
I chose them quickly when I made the game, not really expecting to finish it, and leaving the problem for later. Then I was thinking about it, and I remembered that I had some doubt about the copyrights, so I brought it up with K and then I took care of it.
