Hello everyone! I’ve been absent for a long time, and even more so regarding news about Lost Evil. I think it’s time to share the information I have at the moment. When I made a humorous post on April 1st, I never expected it would become a reality. The story hasn’t been canceled, but it’s undergoing a deep overhaul, and unfortunately, progress is moving quite slowly.
Over the years since the initial release of Lost Evil levels, the story in my mind has evolved from a simple good vs. evil narrative into a deeper tale where the focus has shifted heavily toward the characters, their personalities, and their conflicts. The story is still in the process of being reworked, but what I have right now doesn’t align well with the capabilities of Project Arrhythmia (even with the BetterLegacy mod).
Here are the options I’m currently considering for implementing the story:
1. A story made in Project Arrhythmia using the BetterLegacy mod. 2. A multi-episode animated project on YouTube. 3. A standalone game separate from Project Arrhythmia.
I’d prefer to realize the story as a standalone game. This would allow me to create my own level editor tailored to the story’s needs. However, there’s one problem: I’m unsure how the gameplay will work. The issue is that in the new version of the story, the Nanobot (the player character in PA) might not exist due to the narrative’s new direction. Instead, players would control all the main characters of the story. At the moment, I’m considering a gameplay style similar to Friday Night Funkin (for battles). The epicness of the battles should stay the same, if not become even cooler. You and your opponents would move across the screen, performing epic actions. Imagine a battle between Gunter and Arvil, where the fight choreography is even more polished, and you control Gunter by pressing the right buttons to the music.
Overall, I’d love to hear your thoughts and any ideas you might have. Your feedback will be incredibly important to me.
I plan to create a YouTube video in the future where I’ll present the concept of how the game could look, showcasing the first ~10–20 minutes of the story and gameplay. This will be another step toward finalizing the direction of Lost Evil’s development.
Some news about Lost Evil: Work on the story is still going on. Recently, it seems I was able to complete work on the global part of history, getting rid of many things that did not comply with the laws of this universe and were illogical. I am already starting to restart the story, but there is still a lot of work to do before making big steps. All levels that have already been released will be subject to updating/other implementation from scratch for other songs.
Btw this screenshot shows quite well what the main mood of the story will be
Okay. It's time to make an announcement. As you already know, a partial mobilization was announced in Russia (but in fact a full-fledged one). Am I in danger? Probably yes, but for now it's not worth panicking.
All my life I have roughly understood what I should strive for and who I should be, and recent events can put an end to all this. I'm not going to go to war. I understand perfectly well that this war is the last chance for the authorities in Russia to keep power in their hands by forcibly sending a huge number of people from Russia to their deaths. Right now I have no idea what to do next. Now I am considering the option of urgently leaving Russia in the near future. The borders can be closed at any time and I need your help.
Now I will be actively engaged in creating videos for PA and your support will be very important to me. This will allow to raise statistics on channel and can also attract new people to the game.
I also want to say something else: thank you Lily and also thank you PA community for the best years of my life! You are really very important to me, because it was you who gave me the direction that I am trying to follow. I hope that everything will be fine with you! See you again!
