- Devlog #5: How We Designed the Memory System - 28 January 2025
Hi everyone! Today, we’re exploring one of Anomalistic Revolution’s key features—the Memory System. This mechanic not only strengthens your character but also lets you uncover Saye’s story piece by piece, adding depth to the game. The Idea: Telling a Story Through Memories Initially, we thought about using cutscenes or dialogue to tell the story. But those felt too passive. Instead, we created Memory Cards—a system where players discover the narrative while impacting gameplay, making it an active and rewarding experience. Soul Points and Memory Cards You earn Soul Points by defeating monsters and completing quests. These points unlock Memory Cards, which reveal pieces of Saye’s past and provide gameplay bonuses. Each card opens a new layer of the story, blending narrative and progression. Redesigning the System Our early concept was more experimental—we wanted players to extract memorie…
- Devlog #4: Story - The Crater That Shouldn’t Exist - 17 January 2025
Niko: Ah, Saye! There you are again. I can see the disappointment in your eyes. Saye: There's no disappointment. I knew this would happen. Niko: Then why the long face? Is this how you greet your best friend? Saye: Niko... Don't start. Niko: Hold on. I see something behind that disappointment. You're still... hopeful. Niko: That innocence of yours is going to be the end of me. Though I’m immortal. Unlike you... Saye: ... Niko: You were in a meeting, right? Sorry to interrupt. Niko: Hmm... I can feel it even from here. There are two women inside, aren’t there? Saye: ... Niko: Aren’t you going to introduce me? Saye: ... Niko: Fine, I’ll introduce myself. Let’s see... Niko: One of them is trying to look tough. Smart and ambitious. Niko: But she hates her job. She’s weak-willed. She’s drowning, yet still sticks to the job she hates. There are too many people like that. Niko: The other one..…

- Devlog #3: TruuCrafter - 4 July 2024
In Anomalistic Revolution, we explore the mystery of a massive crater that has appeared in the city center. Our protagonist, Saye, uses a truth software he developed called TruuCrafter to solve this mystery. This software gives correct answers to any questions by generating truths based on feedback from each "interrogation session." With each session, the accuracy of these truths improves. Saye believes that by following these increasingly accurate answers, he can find the "absolute truth." Here’s an example: In the first chapter, Saye wants to find out who broke a glass in his living room using TruuCrafter. He asks, "How did my coffee mug break?" After a session where the software asks Saye three questions about the incident, it explains how the glass was broken. Depending on our answers, we get responses with either 99% or 100% accuracy. You can see how this software works by trying o…
- Devlog #2: Customized Dialogue Boxes for Emotions - 13 May 2024
Anomalistic Revolution is an RPG that cleverly blends the storytelling style of visual novels. In this game, dialogue boxes are designed to show the emotions of characters as they talk. In the dialogue paragraph below, you'll find each character's name followed by an emotion code in parentheses to indicate their feelings. DB10; M, exterior_door Saye (Angry): Devil! I know why he's making fun of me. Saye (Depressed): Thinks I'm close to falling off a cliff with just a little push. Saye (Sad): Honestly... he might be right. Saye: I feel like there's not much left inside to keep me going. Saye (Confused): I should try to feel better, or I won't be able to continue. Taking care of Luna might help. It calls for the following information needed in each emotion dialogue box: 1) Image file corresponding to the character's emotion 2) Transition animation fitting that image file 3) Color applied…
- Demo Updated: Enhanced Visuals and Environment Designs - 2 April 2024
Hello everyone! We're excited to announce a big update for Anomalistic Revolution. This update makes the game better and changes how it looks and feels. We've completely changed the designs for Saye's home and office. They now look much nicer with lots of new details. Plus, we've used special 2.5D graphics to make the rooms feel more real. This update is a big deal for Anomalistic Revolution. Players will feel more like they're really in the game thanks to the cool new looks and designs. Stay tuned for our next update!
- Demo Updated: Dark Notes and Monologues - 16 February 2024
Inner Being Score Following a series of unfortunate events, Saye found a strong reason to keep going. He firmly believes he will create the invention of the century and continues to hold onto this dream. However, persistent pursuers keep Saye on edge, constantly monitoring her every move. We've integrated this precarious mental state into the gameplay. Now, Saye must resist mental exhaustion and fight against it. Consequently, we've realized the significance of our "Inner Being" score and its impact on the game. If this score drops below zero, there will be consequences. Other Game Changes We've simplified our seven abilities to six for better organization. As the story unfolds, we're considering whether to introduce new abilities. A new and unique memory card has been added to the game. Additional alternative dialogue options have been included for specific situations. We've made chang…
- Upcoming Update: Mastering Inner Energy - 9 January 2024
Upcoming Update: Mastering Inner Energy We've got some exciting news! We're working on a big update for the Anomalistic Revolution demo. In the game, we have something called 'Inner Potential Score.' It's like the 'mana' or 'energy' in many RPGs, measuring the character's spiritual and mental capacity. In the next update, if we use up these points, or go into the negative, there will be consequences. So, we've got to be careful with our character's inner energy. We're also making some small updates to skills, both in number and how you get them. This means a fresh look for the choice menu and improvements to the overall design. Lastly, there will be subtle enhancements and additions in the dialogues related to the update in the game's choice and ryo system. Stay tuned!

- DevLog#1 - Text Layouts - 20 September 2023
We would like to talk a bit about how the game's dialogue system works. When it comes to dialogues, if you divide the screen with horizontal lines, you can see dialogues appearing in three different rows: top, middle, and bottom. Each of these rows also has four different pockets. As shown in the images below, characters can speak from separate rows, and they can also speak from adjacent pockets in the same row. This game, like many story-based games, reads dialogues from a .txt file. Besides the dialogue sentences, there are some simple codes written in the .txt file to determine which character is speaking in which emotion and in which pocket of which row. Let's provide an example from a dialogue paragraph within the .txt file. DB04; T, Paintings, B, PC desk Saye (Desperate): I tell myself not to think about it, but it's really hard. I still can't believe I left the software company I…
- DevLog#0 - Searching for Absolute Truth - 11 September 2023
Hello! We're excited to share our 4th game, Anomalistic Revolution, with you. The idea for this game came from the concept of a computer program that can uncover absolute truths about different topics. This is why we titled it "Searching for Absolute Truth." When we began creating the story, artificial intelligence tools on the internet weren't as common as they are now. The thought of a programmer inventing such a tool fascinated us. While the initial story evolved over time, the core idea of artificial intelligence seeking absolute truth remained at the heart of the game. Here's a sneak peek from the game: We'll use this unique tool within the game, working together to uncover the mysteries our main character aims to solve. This is the main character's mission, and we'll share more about this device in a future blog post. The game raises a big question: Can a computer program using ar…
