Shadows of London (Time Princess)

(uploading my old work to tumblr to catch up with my other socials) Originally finished on 8/14/2024, right before SoL2 dropped lol

[mistymaples]

I forgot to mention this new books are 90% AI in assets

SO, FUCK TIME PRINCESS

I got a quick question about Time Princess.

Has anyone got the new Alise in Wonderland book and is it as shit as I've heard some say?

So far I've heard that:

• there aren't even any 3D companions;

• it's a cash grab that has many outfits behind a pay wall;

• the plot is incoherent, basically released to get people to stop asking for Alice in Wonderland.

I went non white to the Salon, and ofc I'm not getting votes

[mistymaples]

there is no paywall clothes, only an ugly LQ bg, so you can save the money

it is more difficult to pass some stages, but if you have a long time playing it's not going to bother you

I personally hate this type stories cause you have basically nothing to craft and get from Jerry, at this point the Jerry golden tickets are useless

there is another stam consuming dynamic to grind for dias, so yeah... not worthy if you save for Sprint

Story is lame, it could be better but like all the past years stories is just there, with nothing new to offer (there are a lot LinkedIn freelancing posts for random stories, so I guess they just buy random stories and adapt them without editions, but this could be for their other horny app too)

we have been asking for ages for certain paid elements to be added to the game, but they keep ignoring them, like they want money but they don't want to give us back what we want

(different skins for companions and relics)

[mistymaples]

Time Princess used to give IGG a lot of money, but not anymore, their newest games give them more and are more popular

Therefore they have cut the money for production, they are prioritizing the 3D art of the other games,

and TP uses a lot of 3D, so the events go first and the free elements (the stories) are their last thing in their list, leaving the TP team to use 2D art (they shouldn't be using AI btw)

they could add more ads, like at the end of every stage, I rather watch ads than whatever is happening

I don't hate this new format, but it could be saved for limited/side stories or a completely new app

There is interesting thing going on in TP discord

One of the whales has speak up about the Traveller's note format of a story, and asking us to collectively avoid any type of payment from it. Thorough explanation:

WE SHOULD COLLECTIVELY TAKE A STAND!!

[mistymaples]

this is in the first stage, some got them at the beginning talking with Edward (you have to change dialogues if you didn't get it first)

Does anyone know if the puzzle pieces are randomized for everyone or in set places?

Because I cannot find this last piece!

[mistymaples]

I cannot believe—

CONFIRMED SOL PART 2 FOR AUGUST

[mistymaples]

WE'RE GETTING A NEW MUSEUM COLLAB YEAHHHHHH

[mistymaples]

many are say they haven't say it, but THEY HAVE, IGG in their last financial report talked about the AI content

"In 2023, the AI ​​wave hit, and we took advantage of the momentum to fully embrace AI and actively apply "Artificial Intelligence Generated Content" ("AIGC") technology to all levels of our R&D and operations. We not only require our employees to be proficient in using AI tools, but also apply AIGC technology in depth from game art painting, to language version translation, to customer service, marketing strategies, advertising materials, etc., to maintain internal driving force, reduce costs and increase efficiency.

Looking back on the seventeen years since the establishment of IGG, we are full of ambition and hope to transcend ourselves and achieve revolutionary progress in the new wave of science and technology. It takes a long time to achieve success. Moving forward, IGG will adhere to the concept of "advancing with the times and never forgetting the original intention" and continue to explore and practice. "

Genuine question

So I've seen a lot of people talking about AI being used in Time Princess.

I'm just curious about it. Is it speculation, or has it been confirmed?

I know they cut corners with reusing assets, but aside from Lunar Ledgends (which I could totally see), I don't really understand where the accusations are coming from unless they've admitted to it somewhere?

[mistymaples]

JESSE???? BACK FROM THE DEAD?? (jk jk)

(Also anyone else annoyed you gotta pay $20 to get clothing from the new “travelers notes” thing 😒😒😒 i’m not doing it but like. Why have us spend story tickets to get the notebook then spend more cash to unlock clothes?? )

[mistymaples]

they used to repeat bgs to save money

okay, how difficult are those time princess story backgrounds to produce? bc at first the recycling was cute, but now it just feels kinda lazy…
