Well, they always say the second part is the darkest! But given that this game sort of explored the ‘legal hero’ side of things, I think it’d be a safe bet to have a sequel explore just how villains and/or anti-heroes would operate in such a world. I can’t talk too much about a sequel at this time, given that I’m still assessing ideas and drafting (and working on some other projects), but it is absolutely on the cards.
The top of the ideas list is – and people will be happy to hear this – a romance plot for Anima and/or Blueshift.
@Urban - absolutely wanting to avoid such presumptions in the sequel.
I don’t know if I like that, they made a good weird couple. Blueshift loved Anima so much, that he reverted to Exarch and awoke omega level powers because she was taken from him, and Anima needed to revert to her non-personality entity to cope being away from Blueshift if he is sent to prison.
They love each other, separating them to give a romance path to the players cheap their relationship.
I personally agree, which is why there was no option for it in this one. But it might be fun to experiment with, even just as a temporary fling. There’d be ways to make it work while staying true to their weird relationship, particularly if it might reinforce why they’re such a pair because they do, at the end of the day, love each other.
Maybe doing it through polyamory would be the best way? Either through a three-way relationship with all three together, or the MC being with one or the other while accepting that the two are still in love and still in their relationship?
Otherwise it’d feel weird–like, if it’s going to be just a fling, would Blueshift and Anima need to break up for a stretch in the second game? As is, it just feels like they’re way too devoted to one another for the MC to be able to be their one and only.
However, I didn’t care about the characters for the most of the game. I only started liking them when I found out that they’re an ex-villain and a robot. (My favorite tropes, lol.) Before that, I thought they were just common douchebags.
I think all characters were introduced too quickly. The first conversation with each character could have been extended.
I read them.
Also I concur with Lavender, Shift seemed like a snooty, holier-than-thou, cocky prick and Ada seemed like she didn’t think you were worth her time to talk to.
I read them when we were introduced and periodically went back whenever I struggled to remember someone, though after a bit I didn’t need them.
I started off really not liking Shift and Ada, but after getting to know them they became my favorite people on the team. Which made losing them especially difficult.
Not that I’m aware of. I submitted it a week ago. I imagine it’d take a week or two to get verified and put through, to make sure I haven’t slipped anything untoward into it.
It’s been interesting reading the reviews. Just about every review below 3 stars is some variant of “The whole thing isn’t free” or some nonsense about “social justice” ruining video games.

Does that include the odd Naomi romance ending, where she only stays if you made her use her power? I saw @Urban comment on it but didn’t see your response
