The server is back up (for now at least), and hopefully that won't change any time soon. Anyway, here's the details of PAF that I promised:
The sequel to
Pervert Action: Crisis,
Pervert Action: Future is set over one hundred years in the future in the isolated Sirius star system, at a training facility for pilots of giant robots (known as “units”). Despite appearances there is more to this space station than just an experimental weapons program. Kenji, the first male to ever qualify for the program, will find himself manipulated into becoming the instrument to harness a dark and unholy power.
Release date:I've already got a good start on the game, but I can't say for sure when it will be released (though encouragement is always welcome). Once I got PAC done I had a big break in the writer's block log-jam I was dealing with, and I'd made major strides before the beta stage of PAC was even over. I don't know quite how long the rest of the work on PAF will take me, and more importantly there are certain factors outside my control. The platform the game is built in does not yet support multimedia, and I am still casting the voice actors. I can say with confidence that it won't be out this year, though I'm hoping it won't go too far into next year. Technically most of the work is done, though in my experience the work of polishing a game off and completing the small stuff is always the most time consuming part.
Images:As you can see above, I am creating 3D images for the game. Most of these are already done. I'm personally pleased with my results, and though I haven't shown them to many people yet, I think they'll be well received. I don't want to say or leak too much more information about these just yet, but I do have (I think) some cool stuff in store.
Voice acting:PAF will have voice acting, and in fact probably more than PAC did. Also, thanks to the new platform I should (once this feature is implemented) be able to synch up lines directly with the corresponding text, solving this issue that was in PAC. The cast of the game is not final yet, but most of the cast for PAC will probably be returning.
Gameplay:Based on many ideas I had when developing PAC as well as suggestions made about PAC on the forums, I have made many developments to the gameplay. It is still a hybrid between visual novels, dating sims and AIF, but I have expanded the dating sim and AIF elements to make the gameplay more involved. The game shouldn't be as slow to get moving as the original was, and will have a lot more to do and discover about the place. The harem mode is also returning and has also been expanded to be more interesting and fun, and I have a special new feature to replace the traditional points system (confidential for now).
Story:This is a new cast of characters, in a story inspired in part by many anime science-fiction stories such as
Neon Genesis Evangelion. It is at least as much an original work as PAC, however, and probably more so. You won't need to have played PAC to understand and enjoy PAF, but there will be some thematic continuities that fans of PAC will recognise.
Technical:The game is being built in the new Adrift 5, which makes complex games like this a lot easier to design. This new platform will allow a couple of cool features: firstly the problems that emerged with region settings and newer operating systems are no longer an issue, and secondly the game will be able to run direct from an executable file, meaning you won't have to install or use any runner software.
I hope you're looking forward to the release of
Pervert Action: Future. If you have any questions I'll answer them, provided they don't involve the release of information that I'm keeping secret for now. Let me know what you think!
