CURRENT STATE OF THE fault SERIES
🕑 Added 2015-07-26 08:09:18 +0000 UTC ANNOUCEMENT ASo now that the cat is out of the bag, I’d like to a clear a few things up that may be causing confusion as well as present how we are planning to release the subsequent installments of fault.
First of all, milestone 2 will be broken up into two segments: A for above（上） and B for below（下）. We decided to do this for 2 reasons. First, the story got too long and substantial to sell at a 15 dollar price point which we aren’t planning to raise, and second, if we crammed in both we won’t be able to release ms2 till sometime later in 2016. We’re actually very optimistic about this decision though since it forced us to reign a few elements of the story in that could have gotten out of control. “Art from adversity” is something we always try to keep in mind.
Now, some of you may be wondering if milestone two side:above is just half a story. It’s not. Just like milestone one, it has it’s own ending and will work as a standalone installment. Volume wise, side:above is on par, or even even longer than milestone one. I just wanted to make it clear that we’re not selling you a half completed product just to rush things out. In fact, the original plan was to sell side:above as milestone two and below as milestone 3 but I decided against this for 1 specific reason and thats to preserve a consistent theme with each milestone.
I can’t really get into details without spoiling the story… but basically milestone two has a very specific theme and A and B are different ways of exploring said theme. It would be out of place to call side:below milestone 3 because it’s quite literally not a milestone on its own. The same goes for above.
ANNOUNCEMENT B
Also, we will be sandwiching Silence the Pedant (StP from this point on) between ms2 side:above and below. Meaning, the releases will go in the order as follows:
fault - milestone two side:above
fault - SILENCE THE PEDANT
fault - milestone two side:below
This is to fulfill our promise to our Kickstarter backers in a timely manner and to tell a way better side:below story. Hare-san and I have thought very hard about this structure and we’ve specifically designed ms2a and ms2b so StP can be sandwiched in between. We’re planning to finish StP by Q1 of 2016. (edit 2016/02/02 more like Q3 now. This game has become much larger in size than originally planned)
All in all, if you have faith in us, try not to worry too much the structure. We promise you that you, the reader, is the who we are constantly thinking about when designing these stories. How can we deliver the best story possible within the limitations that we have? This is our answer and we hope you enjoy the ride.
PS.
Also, don’t you all want to see Rughzenhaide!? A 14 year old Ritona and a 9 year old Selphine?? With the premise that Ritona abhors the country of Rughzenhaide!?!? Forgive me for being excited. I’ve been wanting to do StP for a while as it was the first story that I plotted (even before ms1). Hare-san wasn’t even a part of ALICE IN DISSONANCE at the time.
Personally I believe that milestone one, two (A+B) and Silence the Pedant combined is the true “introduction” to the fault series.
Thanks for your time!

I agree and the Fault series is a breath of fresh air given how AAA games try and shove loot boxes and social justice propaganda down our throats all the time, so thank you for all your hard work.
ALICE IN DISSONANCE
Ah understood. We're working hard on it; the project is just a lot harder and larger than originally anticipated. Stick around and it will come out eventually. Good things take time =D
Setsuna
Haha love the sass no sorry I just found the update. I just meant by if it never came out as I had been reading old stuff and replied before looking further into it.
ALICE IN DISSONANCE
If it's costing you something to keep it on there maybe? This is a really old article. Here is the newest update. <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/silence-pedant-15994040">https://www.patreon.com/posts/silence-pedant-15994040</a>

Will I have to take this off my STEAM wish list?

what happens to Fault SILENCE THE PEDANT? dropped by the creator?
Yurek
We're in Q1 of 2017, any updates? I'm guessing things went way over schedule?
Quagsir
Can we start up the hype train yet? We are in quarter four and no pushback has happened yet.
ALICE IN DISSONANCE
On par or longer than ms1. Also unless you're gonna die in the next few years (god forbid) you probably won't have to wait for a "life time" for the series to be finished. Stick around if your curious. Or don't. Either way, we'll be here toiling away.

I would like to know the length of StP, heard that it's shorter than the Milestones ?
膽 楊
Is it weird to leave a comment after 10 months?
膽 楊
That means we got a lifetime to wait until it comes to an end.

I have to say, seeing this again, this is a really epic picture.
ALICE IN DISSONANCE
Don't worry. Just PM us and we'll figure something out.

In the Steam Forums, it was said that if you were a kickstarter or pre-ordered on Humble Bundle you could get StP for free when it came out. I pre-ordered from Humble Bundle and was wondering if that's true and how to prove. Its hard to find the email receipt, but I can screenshot the code page maybe? I know its too early to really do this, but just curious in advance and sorry if my info on this is wrong.

"Also, don’t you all want to see Rughzenhaide!? A 14 year old Ritona and a 9 year old Selphine?? With the premise that Ritona abhors the country of Rughzenhaide!?!? " Yes, very much yes.

All good for me to wait, can't get me enough fault.
"Personally I believe that milestone one, two (A+B) and Silence the Pedant combined is the true “introduction” to the fault series." Wow, if all of that is just the introduction then I'm super excited. More! MOar!! Moar fault <3

This doesn't really change anything as far as I'm concerned. I'd be more worried if you tried to rush the story to meet deadlines! Plus, it looks like the change really has more to do with naming than with being behind or something. Thanks for letting us know! Good luck -- and yes, I'm looking forward to Silence the Pedant. Will there be any exposition on why you named the series the way you did?
Well... I can't speak for everyone, but I - personally - am more than willing to wait, if that means getting a properly finished story in the end. Take your time, folks. >Also, don’t you all want to see Rughzenhaide!? A 14 year old Ritona and a 9 year old Selphine?? With the premise that Ritona abhors the country of Rughzenhaide!?!? YESH!!
