Hello, thank you for your comment.
I'd like to clarify that the funding acquired will not affect the game's main storyline. The primary goal of this funding is to enhance visual aspects, such as the game's art, and to expedite the overall development process.
Regarding the linearity of the story, we are planning a saga where the linearity will decrease progressively with each subsequent game. In the first game, "Anime Odyssey", I would rate the linearity around 6-7. This is because, while there are specific events that drive the narrative, the player has the freedom to postpone the storyline's progression and choose how events unfold in each "arc". Furthermore, the choices made will influence the events of the following arcs, allowing for a more personalized and dynamic experience.
