Np. Hope the input helps you.

I've spoken with Eric on lore a few times. I'm not under an NDA but I can't go into it much. But there is more lore than you can find. It's at least enough to know the motivations of each faction. That's all I can probably say.  It'll likely start being revealed in Alliance. But I wouldn't really count on too much. Unless Eric's really been hammering away and churned out novels, it'll probably be very minimal. Reason I think so is because Alliance is turning out to be Soul Caliber 2 Arcade conquest mode. If we can bring our faction to glory and conquer the world, it leaves infinite openings for storyline and possibilities.

There is no way you can do a branching story based on all that. It would be far too complex. I've done about 400-500k words on the VN. There is so much to take into account when you  branch a story. Now you can really piss people off and make it so no matter what happens, the story doesn't really change much. Maybe Muse would pull that but I doubt it. Alliance seems very much like a, we'll give you a small backstory, you take it from there and make your own story.

Guns VN will have a more official announcement later this year. Maybe by the time Muse ships Alliance...we'll see. Although I probably will do a teaser update sometime this summer. Thinking about it. Part of the reason I haven't poked about another Aerodrome. When VN work picks up it tends to take the focus. Besides, the final letters vid still hasn't been scored due to our music guy getting busy. Without him being able to commit, it takes away some of the drive to do another event. However, the next event story line is more or less done.
