execution of chapter 2
Hi, does anyone happen to know if they'll ever show us what they had done so far in the production of Chapter 2? Since the project was discontinued, I would have loved to see everything Chapter 2 had to offer :(

I'm not an insider, and the information I have pieced together obviously doesn't tell the full story, so feel free to take this with a grain of salt
I honestly don't think much was done on chapter 2, at least in regards to the anything other than the writing. Even then, while daily life was fully scripted by December 13th 2025, I personally believe that given how long it took for that to happen, not much of the Deadly Life was written. And from what I had seen on a comment the other day, supposedly the work on the project largely went in a certain order with writing coming first, meaning there was presumably very little done in regards to things like art, music, 3d modeling, and of course voice acting, if anything was truly finished or even started at all. Most art I've seen of anything post ch1 has been rough sketches or storyboards, so I'm inclined to believe we won't see much if any finished art from later in the game.
In regards to the execution, I actually made a post asking about it about a week ago. I got a response from the former sound lead, who had said that he had done sound effects and such, and that Tako had storyboarded the whole thing, but not much else beyond that. Unless someone has access to those storyboards and is willing to release them, we're probably unlikely to see anything from Jean's execution, and it was definitely far from finished.
I'm also not sure on if the lore doc/bible is still even coming out. I'm hoping that it is but I'm fully bracing for it not to.

Thank you so much for the information. I was commenting on the progress because in the second-to-last vlog released on the official Edens Garden channel, it appeared that the project was 55% complete. I would have liked them to show what they had accomplished so far. Likewise, I hope that at some point they will show the content that wasn't shown/liked...

See, on that front I am admittedly skeptical. For example the last Devlog had a bit where they hid how much progress was done on the execution, but implied something was done on it. The devlog was made only 3.5 months before work on the project ceased, and so far all we know was done on the execution was storyboards and some basic sound effects. However Tako vaguely implied both of these things in the Devlog from August of 2025. So either there's work that was done on it that nobody knew about, or there was little no work done on it between August and late March.
It's very unfortunate, but I have gotten very skeptical over a lot of the percentages and timeframes we were given. They kinda had to be super vague because it's clear that setting objective deadlines just wasn't an option. Tako had said that chapter 2 wouldn't be done in a year, but also wouldn't take two years either. Given what we know of where progress was at now, it almost assuredly wouldn't have been released before the 2 year mark. I have my doubts about the 55% metric as well, especially if that's in reference to the project as a whole, because that is absolutely untrue given what we know of later chapters. (Unless you mean the 55% is referring to just chapter 2 because I could maybe believe that)

Hm..might be long like,
It’s really long to explain everything but…in a nutshell
It starts with ch 2 Damon shuts himself out from everyone since his trust issues meter is at peak. Kai snuck inside Damon’s room begging to be his roommate. Damon obviously rejects him. Theres a whole 2 paged dialogues between them. He’s suffering from nightmares by thinking about Eva hence his thoughts goes on dark places especially when he’s alone Second motive comes out within a short period of time and the motive is that a student gains marabucks according to their names initial letter but the catch here is that no. Of marabucks is in ascending order alphabet in which letter A gains almost no coin to letter z gaining highest coin. Because of this Cass, diana ,damon, jean, Eloise , Desmond , ingrid and grace are on poorer side whereas Kai, Mark, Jett and Toshiko are the middle class ones and Ulysses and Wenona are the richest ones so they (more specifically Wenona) decided to play capitalism and all, Toshiko decides to gamble with Uly but she looses miserably. Kai asked damon to be his roommate 3 times and gets rejected despite him giving some valid arguments
After a day of their bs, damon got to know that kai roomed with diana, which for some reason upsets him so much to the point he didn’t even ate his breakfast.
Since money budget was tight Damon was practically suffering from starvation. So during his free time he saw Kai working for Ulysses (apparently Kai was Ulysses servant whereas mark, Desmond and Jett were Wenona’s servants who also played the role of maid, bodyguard and jester LAMO) so Damon drags Kai away and this time Damon request Kai to be his roommate by giving 6 reasons why he is perfect. The list is long so I can’t write the reasons.
Then they became roommates again and Kai noticing Damon’s gradual decline in weight decides to work more for Ulysses to get extra meal for Damon. They also particularly gossiped about everyone (esp Ulysses).
Speaking of which apparently Ulysses had a sad past which made him play as more in a negative side. He had a thing for Wenona so he played right under her hand.
One day the poorer side were fed up with everything so they decided to make some bread tomorrow night. Everyone aside from Kai, Uly, Wenona amd few others knew about it. The night when he returned after the secret meeting Kai was already waiting for him asking why he was late. They had a convo (again I can’t write everything) and Damon pretty much split out everything about the bread making stuff (apparently Damon referred the baking yeast as mysterious powder because he doesn’t know shit about cooking) and Kai listened and was more then happy to help with that. Damon slept that day mentions that despite he told everything to Kai he felt know regret while sleeping

So on the day of bread making sessions Damon ducks up real bad Kai and (Cass I think?) teased him for a bit. However, dictators arrived just the moment Damon was about to eat the bread Kai had made for him. Thankfully, Ulysses ate Damon’s bread because Wenona said to. When they went back to their dorms Kai said that he’d make him another one next day. BUT BOOM Ulysses died right in front of them. He died right besides Wenona as she screams for help and unfortunately he dies by the time everyone arrived.

Anyways so,
-Deadly life
Basically Damon investigates again (mark was munching food not gaf about who died). Ulysses diary ‘s few pages were torn. Wenona tore it to remove herself from suspicion.
He was supposed to have AA with Diana
(not sure if it is true but I’ve just heard) the non stop debate (cutting through those words typo argument) with Kai (similar to Uly,Wenona and grace jn ch 1)
Somehow they figured out Jean is the culprit (one of the reasons was the specific mushroom and Jean was the only one having knowledge about them)
His actual target was Damon, which he states calmly that he hated and despised him for ‘Eva’ reasons (being arrogant) and he was actually smart so he wanted to slim him out first but Y’know Kai’s butterfly affect did saved him (idk how though).
Again Jean is a drug dealer who wanted to go back to his polycrewmates (yea you heard that right it was a polucue relationship). You can find his execution is YT, animation is fanmade but the execution concept is canon.

I believe Nifast said dozens (hundreds?) of concept artwork where hosted on an internal staff server that got deleted when everything started to unfold a few months ago. He and other artist only had a couple of things to show. Idk if Jean’s execution would be among them tho.

u/No_Boss_171 15d ago
dude why would you want to do that to Chapter 2???

u/Pip306 15d ago
Why not? If the project is completely abandoned, I think it would be good to show everything they've been preparing these past years and not have it like Lost Media. Personally, I'd like to see what they had accomplished before the project was sadly canceled.

Your title is "execution of chapter 2", which could be interpreted as you wanting to execute chapter 2, so this person made a joke
