More info on the features of the game:
A unique and very diverse cast.
There will be characters of all nationalities inside Ink Prison! I mean you ARE entering a really ancient and mystical prison after all. There are good people everywhere in the world but there are also bad ones!
As for the main party in Ink Prison it will be composed by an Argentinean, a German, a French and an American-Argentinean.
A story-focused game with challenging tactic/puzzle battles. No grinding, no random encounters.
As simple as that. As a story focused game the challenges in the game won’t be just advancing mindlessly and smashing keys (even tho that’s fun to do from time to time).
You will have to go through puzzles along the the game. However, there will be some really special strategic/puzzle battles that you will get to enjoy depending on the path you are taking in the game!
You will get a taste of the tactic/puzzle battles in both [Eternal Ink]Project and Ink Prison.
Affection/Trust system with your party that will inflict not only in the ending but in many moments along the story. (For Ink Prison)
How you interact with your party and the people around you will change the perception they have of you! So be careful when you speak: words can be daggers, be sure not to point them at yourself.
In other words, the way you talk with your party, decisions you take in key moments and how we treat people in front of our team will change how they see us. They might want to help us or not in some situations.
*Since the prequel is a short game the trust system won’t be shown properly.
Many endings that will depend on how you interact with the characters along the whole game. (For Ink Prison)
The endings will be decided as the sum of many choices and not only one. You will define the ending you deserve. What did we do and who is our ally will lead us to a different ending. Will you be able to find the real and complete ending?
Extra events with secret cut-scenes and levels to discover (they are not needed to end the game, but you will sure find out a lot of interesting things if you go after this!)
Extra events might give us something useful for our adventure! But beware! At the end of the day you are in a prison and most of the people there ended up there for a reason. Some extra hidden levels might boast our road into a brighter tomorrow and some...might give us wonderful prizes and information...at a very high cost.
There will be 2 full extra levels with great secrets in Ink Prison!
Info on [Eternal Ink]Project (2017) and Ink Prison(2018) the dev!
Hello, everyone!
Tais here! [Eternal Ink]Project is the a dark fantasy game that you will be able to get for free on Itchio and Gamejolt later this year.
The main game INK PRISON will be for sale on 2018.
Here is a quick Q&A to help you know more about this project (Also remember that both here tumblr and on the twitter page you can always send questions and comments!):
Q&A 1
Who are you?
Are you working alone on this project?
Have you worked in any other game?
Why is the prequel separated from the main game?
Who are you?
My name is Tais. I’m from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I've been working on the story of Ink Prison for some years now. I love video games, drawing, reading and dogs. I can speak Spanish, English, Japanese and basic Portuguese, so feel comfortable sending me messages in any of those languages if you want to!
Are you working alone on this project?
Mostly, yes! There is the play-testers at the end and a prof reader but that’s all! I wrote the first draft almost 5 years ago and after working with it for some years I finally feel that it’s time to present it to everyone!
This is a one person job! Art, eventing, script, story and music!
Have you worked in any other game?
This is the first game I’m working on as a project for others to play and not for my own. That said, I want everyone to know that because this is the first public project that you see from me does not mean it won’t be polished.
Both the free prequel and the main game will have prof reading before being uploaded. (Since my native language is Spanish.)
I've also gathered a diverse group to test both games before the release. A good game must have the minimum amount of bugs possible and I want to make sure you can all have a smooth playtime.
Why is the prequel separated from the main game?
The prequel is a short game of around 1-2 hours. It’s full of artwork and hours of work but I want everyone without exception to be able to see if they are interested in the game, it’s characters and it’s story! That’s why the prequel won’t cost a dime!
As for the main game it’s around 5 hours(might be more) .It will have multiple endings, 4 main protagonists, 2 secret levels, side quests and more than 100 NPCs with their own artwork for their character busts.
Also both games will work as stand alone games! But if you want to get to know the story and characters in more detail I highly recommend playing both!
There will be more to [Eternal Ink] Project and Ink Prison than just the story at plain sight!
As you advance in the the game you will find short illustrated stories that will hep you understand better the characters, their motives and secrets. But finding this stories won’t be just for the pleasure of reading! No! The wiser you are, the better decision you’ll take! Maybe something you have read before will help you choose better when an important decision arises.
Here you can have a look at some of the items you will be able to get in the short free to play game [Eternal Ink] (Ink Prison’s prequel)!
In [Eternal Ink] we will play as Kevin, older brother of Candelaria the protagonist of the main game.
After 10 years of disappearance Kevin is resolved in finding out the truth about what happened to his parents. And, for that, we will help him go after the one thing that started it all: The Ink Prison.
An experiment? Black magic? What is behind this mysterious book?
We will soon find out! Soon!
[Eternal Ink] Project’s release was delayed a bit but will still come out this year! :D
Ink Prison a dark fantasy, adventure and story rich game that will come out on 2018 will have it’s free prequel game [Eternal Ink] Project out on early 2017 for itch.io and gamejolt .
Both the main game and the prequel will have full illustrated backgrounds and cutscenes, in the case of the main game, animations too.
Let’s talk about the main characters a bit this time!:
The Elop siblings, Candelaria and Kevin will be the main characters. Kevin for the prequel and Candelaria for the main game.
Candelaria (21) is an Argentinean college student. Her older brother is her hole family and world. Having lost her parents at the age of 10 she grew up to be quiet cynical and distrustful of people, she has friends but prefers spending her time reading. Both her and her brother like to spend time in their parents’ flower garden.
Kevin (27) is an employee of the C.C.Corp in the Special Research Unit since his parents passed away 10 year ago. He has been taking care of his little sister since that time too, so he tends to be a bit overprotective and have a fatherly attitude.
In Candelaria’s journey to rescue her older brother, her travel companions will be:
Ferdinand Ewald Dietfried (26), a German young man who was one of the first to enter the cursed prison book. The prison’s living map and protector to the books’s core. Betrayed by his only friend, he went from the street to find himself trapped into eternity against his own will.
Palé (Philip) (24), a French genius scientist who was amongst the researchers involved in the making of the Ink Prison. Due to experimenting on himself too, he volunteered to enter the book to stop his time after one of his personal experiments failed.
Finally, Joshua Coller (27), an Argentinean/American heir to the international C.C.Corp and old friend from the Elop siblings. After Candelaria and Kevin’s parents disappeared and were reported dead during a work related mission, the siblings, mostly Kevin, blamed Joshua greatly for not trying to convince the Elops into not going into such a dangerous quest.
That’s just a bit to start getting to know the characters but more info and art are coming soon!
Ink Prison will have a graphic mini series on-line (for free) that will be available on Tapastic next year. It will take place before the main game and also before it’s prologue [Eternal Ink] Project.
+Along with the main game an HD version of the series, plus an extra chapter, will be available too!!!
+La mini serie gráfica también estará disponible en español al igual que el juego.
What will the graphic mini series be about?
Each chapter will give glimpses of important moments of each main playable characters and main enemies. So each chapter will be about one particular person, and so on (that means the stories can be read in no particular order).
Should I read it before playing the game then? Or is it better to read everything after I have finished playing it?
Both! Non of the chapters will contain spoilers of the game. What’s more! Before and after you play the game, you might even see each story in a new light. So I highly recommend to read it both before and after playing the game.
When will this graphic mini series come out?
They will be available to read for free on Tapastic starting March of 2017. It’s also scheduled for it to be 10 pages per month chapter until the main game comes out in late mid or late 2018.
“[Eternal Ink] Project”(2017) will be the free to play prequel to “Ink Prison”(2018).
The story starts a bit gray but it’s sure to start taking color as you advance in the game!
I’ll be posting about the development on the game, news and artwork here too as I’m doing on my twitter any questions about the game, the characters or gamedev are totally welcomed!
