Director's Notes
You might wonder why there's only one voice actor this time. That's because the original game was made for a 48 hour game jam. I didn't have time to direct the two voice actors then, even though they did an excellent job in the time frame available.
In the Director's Abridged Cut, Nicolas Derre worked closely with the director (a.k.a. the one writing this) to capture Unknown's character. Come learn more about this stranger, if you dare...
In addition to the 2 extra endings, there are a few added lines sprinkled throughout the script. More fun nuggets of information to help you unravel Unknown's true identity.
@hiyokol did an excellent job on the Spanish translation, and I apologize for how long it took to code it into the game! I truly appreciate the work she put into it. To change the language, go to the Options/Preferences menu. You will see a section labeled as "Language." You can then choose "English" or "Spanish." Please enjoy!
I also slipped in an image for Beauty and the War (X Playing Pieces), an upcoming game where you can find out Unknown's true name/face/identity. I actually polled my lovely patreon family about what picture I should use there. There was a tie between the re-done picture of Ambrosia looking back at X and a mysterious illustration that I hadn't yet posted. Seeing how you can find the former quite easily (i.e. just by looking at the header for this tumblr page), I decided to go with the latter.
As one of my awesome patrons mentioned, going with the wild card fit with Unknown's style. Good call or no? Feel free to share what you think when you see it! (You can also expect me to post it someday in the future on my tumblr here.)
Other than that, I've called this a "Director's Abridged Cut" rather than a "Director's Cut" because if I really wanted to renovate the game in a full-out director's cut, I'd expand the dialogue, put in more pictures and tie the themes together better. So why did I create this abridged cut?
The answer is: Unknown gets a lot of asks, but I noticed many misunderstood his personality (likely due to the original game being made in 48 hours). A lot of people also thought he was a redhead because I put in too many red hues before. So I more or less updated the art with the one I used in the webtoon, with just a few tweaks here or there. I didn't want to spend too much time polishing him off since I still have a lot of work to finish with Beauty and the War (X Playing Pieces). (I'm giving that project a lot of love, so if you want to see more detailed illustrations of Unknown, you'll want to check out that game when it's out. After all, you want to see how his face looks, don't you? Oh, and if you're wondering how my updated artwork looks...well, don't miss the promo pic at the end! Or wait for it to get posted here. Your call.)
Bottom line is, I want you to understand Unknown just a little better...so you can hopefully be better equipped to meet him in Beauty and the War (X Playing Pieces) when it's released.
Unknown can't wait to see his kittens. Are you ready for it?
Happy 5th anniversary! Let's celebrate together. And don't forget - you aren't alone. Reach out to someone if you need it. Show each other love...but don't let anyone push you past your boundaries. You're someone who matters.
I’ve transferred my first fanfic from Wattpad to AO3!! I’d be really thankful if you’d read it and give me some feedback. Link right here. And all of my praise and love to the creators of the game over at @poisonappletales. Please go check them out and try out their demos and maybe play DTTR for yourself!
(And since I’m trying to get more confident in writing fanfiction feel free to send in requests/ ideas you might want me to try. I mostly enjoy reader inserts but can try other things)
i played Don’t Take This Risk by @poisonappletales. it’s very sad, sometimes (but mostly) disturbing. loved it. #dttr #donttakethisrisk #xplayingpieces #pencil #myart #coloredpencils
