I figured I'd let a little more information on ILS Productions' new project, The Interim Domain, slip out. Not too much, as we're still very focused on Chapter 25 and the endings for Now & Then. Today's post is a sneak peek at the cast.

About The Interim Domain: The world did not end with biblical brimstone and fire. Or with a bang. Or an asteroid smashing against the Earth. It came with a flash, and when that bright light faded, everything cease to be.

Much like Now & Then, players will be able to name the main character (MC) whatever they want. Unlike Jack Brooks, though, the default name for TID's MC isn't already locked in. I'm sure it'll be something where the initials will be M and C (because I've already got the shorthand script code for him as MC). That's not to say he doesn't have a personality or a past of his own. As they progress through the story, players will learn more about him and his life before the Interim.

The first person you'll meet on your journey into the Interim is Mira of the Entende. She is a member of beings who serve during the transition period between the old world and the new. Since this is not her first time in such a role, Mira will act as guide, teaching the player about how this transitory world works and how best to perform their new duties. She has answers, though most may not make sense early on. Initially, Mira comes across as strange and aloof, but in time, you will come to understand her and the reason for how she is.

And here you see the major cast members. Be aware that this image doesn't include everyone, like the secondary and support characters or the story's antagonists. Even though they're all in silhouette, this should give you an idea of the range and scope of the people you'll be tasked with helping.

It looks interesting and i am a sci-fi fan (this feels sci fi to me) so I'll enjoy the teasers while I ponder whether or not there is a way for any Now and Then characters to cross over into TID.

Looks pretty interesting! Renameable characters are great, but it's nice if they have a default name. Otherwise we all sound like idiots discussing them on a forum. Besides, I feel like a douche if I give them a serious name and it ruins immersion if I give them a silly name, so I *really* hate being forced to name characters. That's *your* job.

It'll have the same focus on story and relationships, but there'll be a main arc with opportunities to delve into everyone's stories and progress them. I haven't hammered out the code/UI yet, but the thought is mostly VN with branches to various side stories.
