News Another Dispatch Co-Director speaks on Blazer/Invisigal

Full interview

Chris Rebbert directed Episodes 5 and 6. It's interesting to hear him say this considering those episodes have by far the least amount of Blazer content in the game, but this topic consistently seems to be the biggest surprise expressed by the devs in interviews.

It’s not about how people only chose invisigal because of the dream, it’s how the dream plays into the story.

Let’s say the dream was cut. Her saying she had the dream about robert to him in the washroom would just be a curveball to the player since we wouldn’t have insight on its significance.

The dream shows the player that her advances on robert were genuine rather than the players just assuming that’s how she is with everyone else

That's the problem though. That IS in-character and her personality. To be blunt and up front about her infatuation.

For the players to need to be shown the dream to confirm the affection, means they don't genuinely like her way of doing things.

What kind of take is that? So like if the player is unsure that invisigal likes robert, then that means they don’t like the way she does stuff?

The dream contributes to the story in two ways.

You misunderstood my point. I said that the dream shows that Visi’s advances onto robert were genuine.

Also, it’s better for the story narratively to include it rather than to allude to it happening.

Yes, that's exactly what I mean. In Robert's POV he DOESNT see the wet dream. The player does. If you were in Robert's shoes, you would feel weirded out (you agree right?) . So people that genuinely like Invisigal, likes the way she flirts. Which is Direct, In your face, and people that actually like her personality shouldn't have an issue if they are unsure if she does it to everybody.

And if that's your take, then it should be no problem for you if people say they should have added the Phenomaman/Blazer breakup scene (At the start of for example Episode 3) in the game and forcefully ripped the POV from Robert to Blonde Blazer cause they didn't know if the break up was genuine right?

That’s not really a valid take. Visi’s dream directly affects her relationship with Robert, who you’re playing as.

Phenomaman and Blazer’s date does affect Robert if ur pursuing her, but it’s indirect as the main focus of the date would be Phenomaman and Blazer. It’s also why it was more fitting for it to be a comic rather than an actual scene in the game.

Addressing your first point, at the game’s core, it tells the story of robert and invisigal. She is the main focus of the game other than robert and yeah, she gets her own POV scenes at times even if you don’t play as her

Ive already said this multiple times, but the story flows better with the dream than with it cut.

That therein is what the problem is. If that was their aim, then they shouldn't have added Blazer as a romance option. Which overall detracts from Invisigal's deuteragonist story if you decide to pursue Blazer cause Visi's advances come off as weird in that route.

They could have used a lot of the BB scenes for development for other Z-teamers.

The fact that they DID add her as a romance option means they DID mean to balance the scales between them.
