About the Game

The English version is still being translated and produced. The following content is machine translated.

Please note

This is not a game with high playability. It is just a simple novel reader I made.

It cannot be regarded as a visual novel, a demo, or even a qualified novel. It is at most a slightly processed script.

I am ashamed that due to my limited ability, my programming skills can only support me to make some simple 2D platform jumping and turn-based games. The music and art are even worse.

Why not publish the script on the novel platform?

Because my literary literacy is very poor, I have failed Chinese for many years since the third grade of elementary school. I don’t have the ability to expand the script to be more substantial, add more branch content and more character creation. In short, I can’t write so many words.

If I simply process the script of "Lost Desire" and post it on the novel platform, I will have to finish it in a hundred chapters at most, and the outline I have been thinking about for more than a month will be wasted.

And can people sign the contract of those novel platforms? Even the Qing government dared not sign it!

The clauses in it are all about me, as the second party, having to bear many responsibilities, and what will happen if I breach the contract. There is no mention of the responsibilities and penalties for breach of contract of the company of the novel platform as the first party. This is an unequal treaty at all.

Even if we don’t talk about signing, the novel platform has many requirements for the number of words, structure and content of the novel, and they are double-standard: I want to use Greek letters to represent the if story line, but I was told that "the chapter name must be named as Chapter XX", haha^^; I want to use rich text to emphasize the content, lay the groundwork and echo the title, but it’s not possible, only black and white words can be chosen; I want to write a short epilogue or summary, but it can’t reach 1,500 words, so I can’t upload it; I want to write some dark and cruel content, but I have to change this and that, but those great writers write dark and cruel, pornographic, gambling, and even cults, and political establishment content much more excessive than me, what is this if not double standard?

Current plan

Currently I plan to finish writing all six chapters of "Lost Desire" plus one extra chapter, and then see if there are any friends willing to cooperate and make something big together. You can contact me through social media links.

If there is no suitable partner, I will gradually use AI technology to process "Lost Desire" into a real visual novel.
