Greetings fellow officers! Today I'm going to introduce you on the different ways to acquire skills in Yomi Alliance, which is hopefully a fun, non-grinding way to achieve your objectives and increase your character's stats. Like some of you already played in the demo, each week you are going to schedule your activities, choosing to pursue your social interests, your training and/or attending classes.
Attending classes will raise your stats from the starting point up to 13 points. While some classes are automatic (you increase your points without any other interaction), many others will feature an in-game event as well. Let's take three skills for example: Psychology training for Counselor career and Inquire training for Security Officers and finally Diplomacy for the Command School candidate. As for Psychology your teacher, Counselor Lapp, will ask you questions about simulated patients. You will need to listen to her question carefully, and also deal with patients who are going to tell you about their problems and try the best way to solve them.
You will increase your Stats while also playing the role you chose when starting the game. Inquire is a little different. While it plays the same dialogue-choice-consequence pattern, you will be tasked with a real interview of an alien volounteer with his own mini-storyline taking place. Your choices won't just grant you skill points but will develop a shady sub-plot which will finally unveil in the last class session.
Even Diplomacy aims to bring you a different point of view. This time you will take the role of a famous Fuminoid Captain of the past in a Virtual Reality environment and you will be tasked to negotiate peace within two warring factions. Your choices could bring more chaos into their society or end up with a long-lasting peace treaty and Alliance application.
Your character will learn the best way to handle first contact with an alien species directly on the field. You can expect varied stories and gameplay for many different skills as each update is released. The first Early Access update features dozens of events, social time with Serena, a couple sex scenes, an academy storyline with many events and so on. The whole point of different career paths is to get you something different each time you play Yomi Alliance. Psychology classes, for example, are just for the "Counseling" career and related professions, so you might not play any of them on your first playthrough. As you will start a new game and choose new paths, species and background you will unlock more and more events, many of which you never saw before! Of course the game will get more content update after update, but there's enough stuff to keep you entertained for many hours right away. Yomi Alliance will hit Steam's Early Access on February 10th, 2020! Wishlist it today and keep following us! Thank you for your support! Be safe and healthy,
