Heh yeah Killer Queen is dumb even though I still enjoyed it at the time.

Secret Game is a remake of Killer Queen and it's still not that great, but after that they made a prequel to Secret Game called Code Revise, which I think is actually pretty good, and then after that they rewrote Code Revise and called it Rebellions which I personally think is the strongest title in the series. The problem with the previous VNs is that the director was really bad at writing, but for Rebellions they hired the writing team that did Root Double to "fix" Code Revise. It's more Battle Royale than mafia/werewolf compared to Raging Loop but whatever. I do strongly recommend Raging Loop if you somehow survived Killer Queen.

I'm not sure if Lemnisca has any plans on working on the rest of the Secret Game series after going legit but it would be neat.

I wanted Killer Queen to be good, and it just managed to disappoint me at almost every step. It's not like the story didn't have places it could go, but I tried to give it a fair shake, and it just gave me nothing. I was like minutes from the end, and I literally just gave up without seeing it.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Huge gripe that I can't complain about to other people: The main character relies on the logic that there's never been a trap designed to kill anyone in this game to "trick" the game runners... except that there WAS A DEATH TRAP when he came across the trap floor that fell into the dead zone! He literally saw it, thought, "Oh dang, a time-delayed death trap." And then it never mattered! Why put that in there!? It served no point! Traps just made the reading a fucking slog because it makes you think something's gonna happen and then just tells you to fuck off for paying attention. Biggest plot hole. Made me almost stop right there, but I just had to read until they captured the lady in the white dress and give up then. My assumption is that in the end, both of the main characters just blow up, and I'm happy with that.

I might check out those other ones then. I just read good things about Secret Game, but was told it spoiled things in Killer Queen, and that's how I ended up there, and it wasn't worth.

I have no opinion on delaying/starting quickly. The petty tribulations of real life pale in comparison to mafia shenanigans.

(I will probably regret this.)

Regret which/what?

I just mean that mocking the RNG is probably gonna queue up events in the near future to make me busier than I can handle. But that usually happens anyway, so eh...

Oh.

[Caz]

Any estimate to when this game begins?

[Mephansteras]

Well, we got one person saying to keep going two people saying it'd work better if we delayed it a week.

Everyone else? Preferences?

I am okay with either. Like I said earlier, it'd be cool if Vector joined. But, it'd also be cool if we played. ... So, I'm gonna abstain from voting. It makes no real difference to me.

[Jim Groovester]

I'm ready to play now but I also wouldn't mind waiting a few days either.

I don't want to wait too long though.

Yeah, I'll take that we start by next Friday at the latest. Match with you, Jim?

[Jim Groovester]

The 20th, you mean?

Yes.

I'm fine with anything.

[Mephansteras]

All right, well, let's shoot for starting the game on Friday, then. That'll give everyone the weekend, which is hopefully enough for the people who are busy to be able to show up and start playing.

[Shakerag]

I suppose I could work with a Friday start, with the caveat that I won't be terribly active on that day.  In.

[webadict]

Sad. No Vector. Woe is life.

[Mephansteras]

That is sad, I was hoping they'd be able to join in.

Still time, though, I'm going to finalize everything tomorrow morning and get the ball rolling some time during the day.

Hec-tor! Hec-tor! Hec-tor!
