In celebration of the release, here's an excerpt from a little interview we did to one another a while ago: Grogu: Any message you would send to people who are just starting out with SoP and who have played other AVNs on what they might find here that could be different? Gizmo: I never liked comparing much (although its inevitable) but, in very general terms, I would say SoP has a lot of emphasis on the story and your journey with it and the characters. That some choices in it really matter, and some others are a bacon omelet or belgian waffle sort of thing (Life is Strange reference), and its intentional because, well, thats life itself. That it has adult content, but thats not the focus of the story, neither something I would personally categorize as porn. That we dont think of the story in terms of tags. Things that people may be used to in AVNs such as lesbian, harem, in my mind they sound more like queer, polyamorous relationships. I will say that, as many other devs, we put a lot, so much love and hard work into it and we truly hope it shows. How about you? Grogu: In general, SoP is an experiment that, despite all the shit it has gone through in its development, I am very happy with, and despite how complex making a VN is for many reasons, that rewarding feeling you get from others enjoying it is such a good one. From the chapter itself, after playing it about 7000 times, Im always gonna remark that something I love about SoP is that each person who plays it can interpret it in a completely different way to mine, which I think is great, and thats 100% your accomplishment, so kudos to you. I love what a strong personality Amy and Becca can have, just as much as their moments of vulnerability. I want your answer too, and then I have some final words (it sounds like Im dying). Gizmo: Dont die yet, theres still two more chapters to go! Can I just say I agree and thats it? Except for the part in which you gave me 100% of the credit. The visual part plays a huge role and I feel like youre constantly elevating the script to something so much more beautiful/amazing/sexier/emotional than I could have imagined, and it never ceases to surprise me, even though I trust you blindly. I really wanna hear those final words now. Grogu: For my final words I want to thank all the people who have stuck with us throughout all these uncertain times when Chapter 2 wasnt coming. Ive read people say the game was abandoned, that we were MIA, that we promised something that would never see the light of day, and I understand thats something that happens sometimes in this industry, but you guys were always there for us, and you were the engine that kept us going. I will always appreciate and remember that. Gracias. Gizmo: What he said. And I'll add, literally each cent you have supported us with counts. I truly hope one day we get to be able to devote all the time we'd truly wish we could devote to this, because I literally have a folder with those five other projects we keep talking about and I'd love to see at least one of them shine lol. Thank you for everything, this has been a long time coming and your support has meant the world for us. We love you all. -GGS
