JPDE 4th Anniversary Stream (New Date) – Your Questions Answered + New Production Schedule (Patreon)

Edit: The anniversary will now take place on the 18th, to give non-Patrons enough time to have gone through the final story release.

Hello thar, Meinos Kaen here… And first of all: thank you.

Thank you for four years of creativity and learning. For the highs and lows, for the brusque turns and incredible targets, for the support and feedback that has made it possible for JPDE to flourish. It all began as something so small and yet, here we are. Four years later, JPDE – Sonata of Fire is finished -well, main story wise- and J.P.D.E. the team is a reality.

So, the question is… What comes next? Well, first of all, the Anniversary Twitch Panel.

First of all, I thought it’d be fun to do an anniversary stream on Sunday, the 18th of October. It would begin at 9 PM, Brussels time, and it would be structured as a panel, with this schedule:

Part 1 – The Conception and Transformation of JPDE (I’ll talk about how JPDE was born, the initial idea behind it and how it slowly transformed into its final form.)

Interlude 1 – Patrons Q&A (In this, I will answer questions pre-submitted by Patreon subscribers).

Part 2 – The Creative Process: How is JPDE made? (I’ll talk about what kind of work goes into creative the various assets for JPDE and the writing and coding for it.)

Interlude 2 – Discord Members Q&A (In this, I will answer questions pre-submitted by Discord Members).

Part 3 – The Future: JPDE2, Ars Navigatio, ONHA (I’ll talk about the new projects we’re working on, how we went from Monetta to Ars Oratoria to Ars Navigation, the transition of ONHA and more.)

Interlude 3 – Live Twitch Q&A (In this, I will answer live questions from the Twitch Chat).

So, start submitting the questions you’d like to see answered on stream in this post’s comments.

Now, about the new production schedule. For you Patrons, nothing changes. You’ll still keep all your powers and nominations but the difference will be that we’re no longer going to have the non-Patreon new sprite poll. This because our sprite artist, Amaco, will need to split his attention between making new sprites for JPDE but also making concept art for our other projects.

Now, you may be asking: concept art? But why? Well, because, for one, JPDE2 is going to be fully 3D. When making 3D models, references are needed and, well…

The new collaborators who’ll come in the future will need something better than my chicken scratches. 😊

But that also means another thing: soon you'll have more stuff to vote on, starting with the variations and characters for ONHA. More information is coming and for now I can say that, while it's no longer a MHA visual novel...

FEMALE DEKU SHALL NOT BE WASTED.

See you on Sunday!
