Red Moon: Lost Days




Red Moon: Lost Days is a RPG/visual novel hybrid developed for the Sega Saturn about Kyou Tan Wa, a pilot who after lost contact with a Army General friend, sets out on a journey to Egypt to investigate his disappearance.

Nineteen years have passed, but the shadow of the Great War is still upon the world. On February 28, 2019, the 3th world war began. The war was between China and the United States of America. A series of sanctions imposed by US ignited this war. Eventually, including a total ban on trade between China-backed countries. A feature of the Great War was the use of war robots, pilot operated biped machines, the Metal Knights. When China won the war, the world changed. For good.

China now called Great China became a union of republics. Consolidating itself as the largest economy. After that, Great China has establish a system to remain militarily stately. The Great Generals system. Each of the Great Generals act as a strong independent force. They are distributed throughout the nation.

Just launched it for the first time on my Fenrir in my Pal Saturn, however it works without sound.. Also crashed once during launch and everytime the game is trasitioning to new scenes or different walls of text it freezes. Really wanted to enjoy it more

I dont want to be picky but I'd like to give some feedback on 2 things that could make the experience more presentable:
- Add an intro of your logo (you have such a cool logo, it would be awesome to have it before the main menu;
- A blinking arrow pointing down after the text stops animating during dialogs (lile they have it in other VN's) or a button "A" prompt

Ok enough with my nitpicking and keep up with the good work!

Thanks for the feedback.

About running on fenrir, from what I received feedback from another user, the ODE doesn't recognize songs in wav format, I didn't know that because I don't have a fenrir.

About the second feedbacks, I tried to add the prompt but the result was not very good, if I dedicated myself more to these user experience details, the result would be better. I'm so sorry for not being able to deliver a good experience.

I wrote everything down here.
