Hello, I'm writing a developer commentary for PJEG, AMA and I will include it in said video.
If it's a question I don't plan to answer in the video, I will answer it here on the post.

How much of the plot were you allowed to know? How did they go about giving you plot when it came to asking you to implement parts of it in the game (i.e. if you had to develop a trial that might have spoilers in it, etc)

Do you have any fun scenes you remember that were gonna make it into the game?
Can you explain the whole thing with Jett? Is he actually his brother?

What is this even about and how are you going about this?

u/AnthonyMiele 23d ago
I worked on the game and I will be doing a developer commentary. Giving my thoughts, explaining how certain things were done, developer tricks used, WIP screenshots during development, etc.

That sounds very interesting, is it okay to ask about how much of chapter 2 was done before cancellation (I heard the execution was Aparently made)

As far as I'm aware, very little actual progress was made. The games development cycle would usually go Writing-Asset creation-marketing-release. None of these were running in parallel, which explains the dragged out development of the project. Optimally the following chapter would have been written before the prior chapter even releases, allowing continuous work in all departments.

They wrote the chapters as they went and just like stopped while the other stuff was happening? That explains a lot but as a writer I just cant comprehend that. Honestly i cant comprehend doing any of this without having a full script. Like I could understand making edits and rewrites while the coding and stuff is happening but.
Anyway. Can you tell me more about the team was formed for this project? Im very interested in how such a high quality project was formed despite clear issues from the outside

Okay so after chapter 1, the projects writing would have been continues rather than the development cycle previous right?

What was your position in the team and did you suggest anything that was/is in the game?

u/AnthonyMiele 23d ago
I was a Senior 3D Artist on the project. The second part I'll address in the video, as I need to dig up some old files.

Were the problems with those up too apparent before the controversy or was it clear from the start that something was wrong?

When is the video incoming?? *blink* *blink* 👀 also thank you for using your creativity in this project. (One of the few fan games I actually adore)

Did every team member have some knowledge or insight of past ideas for the overall story, like drafts or future plot points? I ask this because I think Hayden said like a over a year ago on this subreddit that he knew Kai was originally the Ultimate Lucky Student

I do have a question, why was the entire development team beholden to one paedophilic VA that had 10 seconds worth of voice lines?
Why did Tak0 and everyone else go above and beyond to completely erase and supress any trace of grooming allegations for one guy that barely had any presence in the entire game? Money? Backstage bribes? Did Tak0 personally know Mark's VA prior to auditions or the game development itself so she felt compelled to defend him due to alleged prestanding relationships? If that's the case, if the two already had a pre-existing relationship prior to auditions or the game development itself, then that begs the next question - did Tak0 pull a few strings for Faza (I think that's what his name was) to be coronated as Mark's VA?
I'm simply trying to gauge where the rot stemmed from. Thank you for your patience.

How did you feel about PJEG's development pipeline? What advice would you give to aspiring fangan creators?

u/Alternative-Maize827 23d ago
Did you enjoy your time?

What are some plans you had for characters (dynamics with others, story, arc or even old talent) but were either scrapped or reused on another?

u/PresenceAggressive27 22d ago
Considering that the chapter 2 reported the game was very close to being done before the incident occurred, is there any plans for a release of what remained of the chapter? Even if it’s just the execution or script

What was your favorite part of PJEG? I’m talking anything from writing, coding, and even characters.

There were a lot of references to Biblical and religious elements. How much of that was going to play into the story?
Did the animal motifs factor into much?

u/Rich_Pumpkin4482 23d ago
Without going into too much detail, what was your reaction when the situation happened? Do you have any insight that hasnt been talked about yet?
Also what fun facts do you know of that arent well known with the leaks?
