Given all the different ties you can escape from, and all the animation frames that go into each one of those, not to mention that you have 5 additional party members, it is very unlikely that we will have the capacity to make that happen, sadly. It was considerably easier to do this for Didnapper 1, since that game only has a few animation frames, only one tie, and only 3 additional party members. This decision came with that in this game we wanted to focus more on different ways to escape than different people who escape the same way. If we got the graphics for it, sure, but in the foreseeable future we will have to focus on other art instead, and what we add to the escape system will focus on expanding on Seles' escapes.

We don't currently plan on having captive interactions work like that, no, since it doesn't make as much sense in the context of the story as it did in D1. We may however implement a feature that lets you interact with former captives elsewhere, and/or in a similar way, but I can't make any promises regarding that as of now, since we have yet to decide how exactly that will work, or if we will have time to implement it before the initial release.

2021-02-03 08:42:56 +0000 UTCQuick question! Will there be a similar mechanic like in the first game with certain girls you beat will be taken to your camp like a prisoner?
