Hey everyone! I'm creating this to announce that with the success of the demo and how much people seemed to enjoy it, I plan to fully put work into this games development!

Now, things are still in their early stages, and I'm currently still getting people cast (click here if you'd like to audition) but I'm still trying my best and I plan to add a lot to this game including a relationship system that will affect how characters feel about you, an in-game gacha system which will let you pull for anime characters (though it'll be done through in-game currency since I never plan to charge actual money for this game) and last but not least, I wanna create an interesting enough story that (while not the major focus) will be worth checking out and let players feel like collecting gacha characters worth it. Now with all that said, I'd like to answer some questions that people might have about this game.

Is this a mind control game similar to your last project?

Yes and no since there are certainly mind control type elements that play a role in the story, but my hope is to make it kind of a background part of the story and not affect things too much. So while it's there, it's not as much of a major player as it is in my other game Doing Things My Way.

What type of game will it be?

While mostly a visual novel, there will be several point and click elements as well as a potential turn-based combat system. Though that's still uncertain since I'm still learning how to make that happen.

Will more characters from other gacha games be added in the future?

Wuthering Waves, Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, and Zenless Zone Zero are my major focuses right now since they're the games I've put the most time into (with Honkai Star Rail being a personal favorite of mine even if I'm not super into Honkai Impact 3rd) and also have the most familiarity with so I'm confident in saying I can write the characters fairly accurately to their game counterparts. Though I will need to make some alterations so they actually have the chance to interact with the MC.

Will there be an android release?

So far my luck with that kinda thing hasn't been very good so while it's not a no, I can't be certain as to when that could be.

What time do you think the game will come out?

Unlike Doing Things My Way which already has a steady gameplay style, this game has me experimenting a lot with new ideas that I'm still learning how to use. So I can't give an exact release date right now, but I'd like to have the official release occur sometime this year if possible.

Will this game be restricted to a Patreon at first?

No. Since this game takes several properties from pre-existing games, I have no plans of making money from this game. Which is why every new update will be available for free the minute it's ready. However, if you'd still like to support me as a creator, I'd appreciate people joining my Patreon where I post consistent updates for my other works as well as hold little voting events among other things so long as you're a member (even if you're a free one) which I think people could enjoy. Plus, I plan to keep consistent updates on this game up there too (though they'll always be public) so that's something worth checking out if you'd like.

Will the game be voice acted like the demo?

Yes. I plan to hire several voice actors for this project and wanna make sure this things fully voiced to create the most fulfilling experience it can be. But if that isn't your thing then there is an option in the settings to turn the voices off but I hope to bring several voice actors forward to create a fun gaming experience.

If anyone has any extra questions comment them below and I'll be sure to respond and I hope you're all looking forward to the official release of The Tale of a True Gacha King!
