the future of killer chat... ❤️

hi rotterlings!

killer chat! has been an unexpected success. i'm so grateful to you all who love the game and are continuing to support it - it means more than i can say!

as you might've seen in my faq's, i've mentioned that there will be more killer chat coming: in the expanded/full game + dlc's that i'll be releasing. what will this include?

well... in all honesty, we're still in the process of figuring it out! especially because so much of what we can do will be contingent on the funds we raise. but what i do know (and feel strongly) about is...

(warning: base game spoilers! and vague-ish spoilers for my future plans :P)

full version thoughts

• i plan to add more branching options to the game (more video calls, texts, etc) particularly additional and/or expanded endings for each love interest.

  • i want to make it possible for the PC to encourage V to go after ronin when V's musing about killing him; this was, fun fact, in the original plans but i had to scrap them due to the jam's time constraints (we only had 30 days to put all of killer chat! together).

  • i want to give angel more build-up, chats with the PC, and more video call interviews as maria de la rosa :) and lowkey (highkey) i'd love to do little youtube-style segments too, of the PC "watching" her youtube videos, haha.

  • i want to give ronin and the PC the serial killer duo arc they deserve; again, this was in the original plans but the jam constraints didn't let me do so. (there's a whole scrapped segment of the PC being tempted to kill a real person to give ronin the "evidence" he wants...)

  • i want to give misaki and the PC more chaos and trolling moments in the server; one, because they deserve it, and two, just to showcase misaki and her dynamic with all the server folks :)

• sprites and video calls with the side characters (luca, feli, vince, ai hua!) something i want to implement is friendship routes to the game, allowing you to know the side characters better, as well as allowing you to deepen your friendships outside of your love interests.

• i'll be revealing the full-fleshed backstories for the love interests! what happened to ronin and ther in angelwood (in the killer chat universe)? what did angel do before she modelled? why is v so hell-bent on taking down serial killers (and why does ronin invite him to the server, anyway?) why can't misaki just kill the people their parents owe a debt to? etc...

• i plan to add some more content for after you get together with your love interest, just so you get to spend some more time with them before it all ends.

again, these are just my preliminary thoughts of things i want to write into the expanded game! so even though i am Word of God™ please don't take this as 100% confirmation that these will 100% be in the expanded game, especially as whether we're able to even do the expanded game depends on whether we raise enough money from kickstarter.

dlc thoughts

• i want to make a route where you can play as a serial killer; where you get to play as an MC who wants to kill serial killers! this would be a significant shift to the game, so it'll probably be the most ambitious dlc i could make for killer chat!

  • it'll be darker. much darker, in line with what my games usually are like. for those of you who wished killer chat! was edgier and provocative, judging just based off my plans, this one is for you :P

• i would love to introduce additional characters to the game! i feel like killer chat could use some more female characters, so... that is in my hopes. i have a serial killer girl that's gripped my brain and i would love to add her... haha...

  • there's also just so many killer concepts (pun intentional) bouncing around in my head. so i want to do that. whether this ends up as a dlc add-on or something more...? is yet to be determined though.

• i would love to expand on what happens in the months after you get together with your love interest + release your book! kind of just, like, slice of life stuff :)

• ... and more, but that's for future me to think about!

again, none of this is official yet! but it is all floating nebulously in my mind; some of which i am actively planning.

love,
