Greetings, everyone! I am Filipis, a longtime member of the F95 community who has decided to begin “remaking” an AVN called Imperial Chronicles. The original is made by Lazy Monkey, and I have been granted permission to expand on their work, improving the experience of playing through this majestic story!
Q: What are the differences between my remake (titled “Rebinded”) and the original, and why should I play it?
A: Here’s why:
- Significantly improved English (no option of Russian language anymore), to the point it can’t be considered a simple translation anymore as I have made great efforts to change dialogue throughout the story (but still keeping within the original creator’s vision – no relevant lore changes have been made!) in order for it to flow more naturally.
- Script has been cleaned up, and I endeavor to keep it clean! That means no more game-breaking errors that could corrupt save files or prevent progression: your choices throughout the story are now tracked & expressed properly (no more incorrect recap screens)!
- Expanded some scenes with additional dialogue as necessary, giving some events and talks more time to breathe.
- Characters now more often react & refer to the choices you’ve made. This has been sprinkled all throughout dialogue, so each playthrough feels more personal.
- Unfortunately, as I am not a 3D artist, I can’t create any new renders or images for this project – but I do try and include missing images or cut content that was either missed or deemed irrelevant (for whatever reason) by the original creator.
- More meaningful choices! Creating a harem of women is still possible, but it will be a difficult road. You will have to sacrifice scenes with some characters to get them with others, and this applies to sex scenes, too. There is no “best course of action” anymore, and no “free” points to be gained – make your choice, and reap the benefits… or suffer the consequences.
- Love & Lust paths for certain characters have had their requirements tightened, and can’t be juggled – your relationship with them matters from the start.
- Replay Gallery has been added, allowing players to revisit their favorite scenes, while also functioning as a rudimentary walkthrough, allowing players to get hints on how to unlock scenes they haven’t seen yet.
- Save Naming has been built-in, letting you easily keep track of the various different paths within the game.
- Incest has been & will be hardcoded into the script, and no patches are necessary to enjoy the story as it was meant to be.
- Important note: save files between the original project and this remake are not compatible!
