Development report 03/05/2023

In this issue, I will give a behind-the-scenes look at Celio.

-----------------------------------------------

Knights College has gone from the demo version of only the first chapter, which was first released to the public.

The scenario was slightly changed when it became a production version.

Specifically, the relationship between Celio and Oscar has changed a bit.

In the demo version, Oscar was more miserable.

Celio was portrayed as more of a bad guy.

In the original scenario, the relationship between Oscar and Celio was not as bad as it had been in the original plan.

the main focus was going to be on the relationship between Oscar and Celio, and that story was going to continue

The story was going to continue until about chapter 4.

Then, after chapter five, the story of the extracurricular lectures and the deserted island ...... was to continue as planned.

I was going to end the big suspense once in chapter 4, and then

I was going to take the method of changing the story in chapter 5 and 6, and

I was going to make it like a two-part story by incorporating two different directions.

However, during the production process, I began to feel that the theme of the story was not clear enough.

The story of Argo and Theo seemed to be landing well.

I felt that if I made a big flow by the fourth chapter, the story of Argo and Theo would be a bit of an omission.

I felt that the story of Argo and Theo would be like a bonus.

I was a little worried.

I wanted the major theme of Knights College to be inter-country exchange.

I didn't want to include other themes that might interfere with it.

Also, the Knight's College is a place for students to interact with each other, and I didn't want to bring in too much suspense.

I didn't want to bring in too much suspense .......

In the last conversation between Argo and Theo.

What kind of place is the Academy for Theo? I thought that I didn't want to bring too much suspense into the interaction.

I didn't want to make it less convincing by adding bloody suspense.

At least at this stage, I felt that for all of the characters, the Academy is a place where they feel at home.

I wanted the Academy to be a place where all the characters could feel at home.

And for me, when I create a visual novel, I want it to be a place where people would want to live.

I want to create a place where people would want to live.

I wanted to create a place where people would want to live.

In that sense, I wanted it to be a peaceful place.

So I eliminated the element of excessive suspense because I thought it was unnecessary.

Instead, I brought Julius into the main part of the third chapter as a senior character.

I also included scenes and conversations that foreshadowed the story after the sophomore year.

I brought in Paul as the main character in chapter four and included a prelude for the next chapter.

Instead of summarizing the story in small parts

I added depth to the story by expanding the story in a big way, rather than keeping it small.

This kind of "setting that foreshadows the next work" is often criticized.

I was a little anxious because such a "setting that foreshadows the next work" is an element that is often criticized.

Criticisms such as, "It's not complete in a single work," are quite common.

In fact, I had seen such a tendency in the Ace Attorney series.

I was well aware of the risk involved in hinting at the next installment.

I knew the risks involved in hinting at the next installment, but I felt that the game would definitely be more interesting this way.

I decided to take the plunge.

As a result, I am glad I did this, and I think it was a great decision.

We were able to create a series of events that would give us a better understanding of what kind of place the Knight's College should be for students.

How should we create a story to expand Knights College as a series?

I think we were able to choose the best way to develop the story.

I hope to continue this in the next work, and if I can make the story richer, I will be able to develop it further.

I hope we can continue this in the next work and make the story richer and more interesting.

But the changes we made to the scenario

I hope to make the story richer and more interesting in the next version.

This may come as a bit of a shock to those who liked Celio.

But I'll tell you one thing.

There were no erotic scenes with Celio in the original plan.

I had created that screen as an element of talking with each character after the story ends.

I had planned to have Celio have a very serious question-and-answer session with the characters to build suspense.

So, was Celio a so-called "target of the game"? I was not sure if he was a "target" or not.

---------------------------------

So, this is a behind-the-scenes story about Celio.
Next time, I will tell you another story.
