Vacant Sky Awakening: Paradox Prince
Even though I know that I shouldn't trust you when it comes to dates, I'm still wondering, is there a rough ETA on when the Kickstarter rewards that is the anthology and art-book/guide will be delivered in PDF-form? Is it before Ep1, after Ep1 or after a couple of episodes? Just wondering.

I think you did misinterpret my comment, though. I didn't mean that the cast wouldn't be likable to players of Contention,
I said that it was my spontaneous reaction, I didn't say it was how I think now
rather that some of the characters in Contention were not necessarily meant to be liked. I thought it was an interesting experiment at the time but it seemed to have turned some people off from the story, so this time around, you're actually meant to like all the protagonists
Personal opinion here, but I actually liked that some of the main cast wasn't likable. This is also a reason why I like the new Tomb Raiders story based on how far I've played (about two thirds in). Sometimes (but now always) in games, it feels as if the entire main cast is made likable just because.

Time for a couple of stuff
Assuming that each episode will cost 10 USD, that Ep 8 will be split into two episodes and 3 arcs with 3 episodes in each, I think that 25 USD for a bundle of an arc seems to be a fair deal, both for those who discovers the project along the way and those who has been buying each episode as they come along.

When you on the Kickstarter page asked what platforms the backers would want to see the game on first, I said that I wanted the PC version most but I've changed my mind and I want to take the Android version as my KS reward (long story short, I don't technically own any of my laptops (so almost all my PC games are on Steam)), is it too late to change or will you ask that later on.
___
And as to contention what I said on Reddit with regards to Contention
(Spoilers on both VSA and Contention)
While I won't say too much about the VSA cast before having played the game, it'll still be hard to not think of that what they do will lead up to tragic events for the characters in Contention. And I really like most of the characters in Contention, so that's why my spontaneous reaction to that you said that the VSA cast was meant to be likable was something like "but not for those who has played Contention".
I'll still wait and see if there is something in VSA that can make me change my mind, but once again, it's hard to not have the events in Contention in mind when playing VSA

Wow, you noticed that fast!
...yes, because you've talked quite a bit about this get getting released in 8 episodes
Nothing has changed under the hood, but we're now planning to group the episodes into three sets for marketing purposes. The reasons why are mostly psychological.
...
To make it more palatable, we're going to offer three bundled sets, one for each major plot arc. So after EP3, EP4 will mark the start of "VSA2." Since each new plot arc is accompanied by a shift in tone and a jump forward in time, it also gives us the opportunity to take the time we'll need to create new character art.
IMO, that'll be a good choice to make, as long as you can clearly notice that it's split into different story arcs
But if you're a newcomer to the game and it's already all out, the thought of spending $80 or $90 for the full game is pretty outrageous, so we'd have to offer it at a discount. Although I'm not opposed to discounts, I think lowering the price to $60 for the whole set would be undercutting the value of the game and also kind of a slap in the face to anyone who was supporting us by buying each episode as it comes out.
IMO, you have to be prepared for that discounts can happen later when you buy a game in it's "early life". Has happen to me at least 2 times on Steam now.
(we're considering splitting EP8 into two since it is enormous)
Personally, I don't mind this, but I personally I would want to see it names Ep 8 and 9 instead. Even if you'll notice that they was supposed to be the very same game, that not necessarily a bad thing IMO (For example, Robin Hobb's books Dragon Keeper and Dragon Heaven is the same book that is split into two different books. But I had absolutely no problems with that)

I understand. It's just that I don't want the game to be abandoned just now, especially because of the new content in Act2+.
(Personal opinion here, but I can't say if Act1+/2+ changed the game for the better without knowing how it is tied up together in Act3+)

author=Saileriusauthor=AxelRantilaI don't remember if it was a blog post or a post earlier in this thread, but I mentioned that the other new route I was planning to add was canned because of the limitations of the game and RMXP. I started implementing it but it was just so buggy and difficult to work with that I decided it wasn't worth it.

The new Ejaro content
We've talked about this via email.
Which I think is a bit sad, because that new content was one important reason I got so interested in this game (and universe) initially.
