New Game Announcement - First Person Shooter: The Visual Novel

For immediate publication: Sakevisual Announces Groundbreaking New Fusion Game

On April 1st, 2012, visual novel group "sakevisual" announced that it would be developing a new title tentatively called, "First Person Shooter: The Visual Novel." The game design features an innovative new style of gameplay that will revolutionize the gaming world as we know it.

Sakevisual project leader, Ayu Sakata, said, "The major barrier to playing a first person shooter has always been the real time nature of the game. Some players struggle with timing, aim, or reflexes. We intend to combine the excitement of a shooting game with the unique decision making process that visual novels provide to offer players a much more friendly shooting environment."

A work in progress screen shot shows sakevisual's innovative decision making system in action.

The game is still in development, but sakevisual lists an optimistic release date of "sometime soonish, probably." And for fans of sakevisual's other works wondering if it will contain sakevisual's trademark storytelling, Ayu adds, "No, we don't really intend to make this a story-driven piece. People just aren't that into reading, anymore."
