Getting into production, new mechanics and your opinion about classic VNs
Added 2025-04-11 23:11:30 +0000 UTCHello, Heroes!
We’re wrapping up our pre-production, and next week we’ll finally start production on Forbidden Fantasy: Bloodlines!
Our characters are almost done, most of our environments too. The new tech is validated, and we’ve got a lot of surprises for you!
The first of them is that we’re currently investigating minigames!
One of the most common feedbacks we received on Forbidden Fantasy is that you wanted more gameplay. Our story was good, graphics and animations were great, but, you wanted something more. A bit more interaction.
We look into it, in order to see what’s possible within our budget, and we’re working on an MVP for a new battle system!
Our new battle system will mix Turn Based Combat with a Deck Builder, so think of it like a classic RPG battle with a twist! This will give you new ways to interact with the world, more things to do within the Forbidden Fantasy universe, and, more importantly, incredible battles!
We’re still validating this new system, and making sure it’s fun and within our scope, so, no promises for now. We’ll do our best to include it in the game, though, as it seems a lot of fun!
In another very important topic, we also wanted to ask your opinion about Classic Visual Novels.
Specifically, I want to know if you enjoy playing these games. Games such as Phoenix Wright, Professor Layton, Steins;Gate, Clannad, Doki Doki Literature Club, etc.
We’re looking into ways to increase our team’s output, and get content in your hands faster, and mixing this classic VN style with our current one would greatly increase our speed, as well as give us more options for different branches in the story, and, more content to you overall.
What do you think about it? Do you like these games? Would you be willing to try Forbidden Fantasy in this format too?
Let us know in the comments below!
Thank you so much for your love and support! We’re very hyped about Forbidden Fantasy: Bloodlines, and, thanks to you, we can make it a reality!
See you soon,

2025-04-12 09:11:41 +0000 UTCI've been playing RPGs like Elder Scrolls, Cyberpunk 2077 or Baldur's Gate 3 on PC and XBOX for many years, but classic visual novels (like Professor Layton) have never been interesting to me. This has less to do with the stories of these games, but primarily with this kind of graphics, which look like toys for children. In contrast, VNs like Forbidden Fantasy are the most interesting with their excellent render quality and great stories. For me, Forbidden Fantasy would be less interesting in this format. Of course, that's just my personal opinion, there are certainly many players who would like this format. And if Forbidden Fantasy and other games continue to be developed in the current quality, there is nothing wrong with the classic style. Sure, this requires additional resources, but I wish you good luck if you decide to do so. Keep up the good work and have a nice and relaxed weekend!
