A Look into what Chronicles of Acorn is planned to be... (Patreon)

So take everything with a grain of salt, as anything at this point is subject to change. However, what I wanna share today is what my current plans are for the future of CoA, mainly where the plot is headed in a stage/gameplay sense, I dont wanna spoil the actual story.

Blazeymix here again! Sorry we haven't gotten back to you regarding the raffle, Sallyhot had another busy day, but he'll get to it! Anyway, on with the topic.

So we decided some time ago that the game is going to take place primarily in two locations, one for each half of the game. The first half of the game will take place in the Great Forest, if you haven't guessed that already. The second half of the game will take place in Robotropolis, and while having two big locations doesn't sound like much, each is planned to be huge, and have a lot of content and stuff to do, locations to explore, quests to complete, bosses, dungeons, you name it!

the idea here is that we want the players to really feel like it's the world of SatAM/Comics, and we want the story to feel more like SatAM as in.. episodic! In SatAM every episode took place in either the Great Forest or Robotropolis, with the characters visiting other locations sometimes but mainly.. each episode is always in these two key places.

This will make development of the initial game a TON easier! as we'll only need to focus on two areas rather than branching out to many. I think if the players go out into the world like a typical RPG, it wouldn't feel the same as SatAM/comics. STILL, this brings us to my next bit of info.

Post game is going to see major updates that will see the main cast leave the Great Forest. With the main game beaten, and Robotnik ultimately defeated(?), a new threat will rise and this one spans the entire globe! So each new content patch aka Episode will be in a new location outside of the Great Forest and Robotropolis. Albeit these areas will be smaller and less emphasized in the story as the two main locations. As we've previously announced, we'll be adding a new gal in every 2 or 3 of these episodes to play as :)

Now the big thing I wanted to announce, as I've never mentioned this to you guys before, is I'll be adding Raids to the game alongside those new locations and updates. The Raids will feature an RPG remix of classic Sonic levels, like Green Hill Zone and Star Light Zone! We'll be making our own tilesets for these to match those levels in terms of aesthetic, feel and atmosphere.

These raids will be special (extremely hard)areas to explore with bosses from the games, and very powerful rewards for beating them. We'll also be doing a remix of the music for these areas too from our composer.

Anywho, these are the long term ideas and plans, but anything can change. Let me know what ya'll think and if you're looking forward to em :)
