Allies, Enemies, and Everything in Between
Hey guys, just wanted to give y'all another update. We are currently 80% done with the demo and continuing to work on it further. We need the continuity after all. On that note, we would also like to share details on how gameplay would work in KoK.
-Decisions, Reputation, Relationship-
Player decisions matter and every choice has branching outcomes both good and bad. Choosing certain options also affect your reputation on campus and your relationship with specific characters.
Reputation comes in 2 forms, fame and infamy. Fame is gained by doing positive decisions and the higher your fame the more likely the other students will respect and help you out. Infamy on the other hand is gained by doing negative actions, with high infamy other students will fear you, allowing you to threaten, coerce or do violent actions to get the outcome you want. Both fame and infamy also affects your standing with each of the factions on campus.
Relationship is your standing with potential LIs, best friends, and authority figures. Doing certain actions will increase or decrease your standing with a character: With Love Interests, the higher your relationship the better the chance to unlock their romance path. KoK also follows a realistic approach to romance, LIs won't wait for you. Like in real life, people might move on if you don't take action or invest time in the relationship. If you don't have enough points with a LI, the option to pursue them may lock out and they might start dating other people., Best friend characters are the MCs closest allies, maintaining your friendship with them is key to him completing quests in clearing his name., Authority figures - such as the various faculty members - offer certain favours to the MC should you have a good relations with them and if you have the necessary reputation. These favours will be helpful in MC's quest to clear his name.
That's all we have for this current dev-log and we'll keep everyone posted as progress continues.
Until next time, Ihr Spermalappen.
