We had high hopes for the DIP. It was our idea of a self-driving autonomous taxi service that was available on Ehko Island. It was supposed to pop up in various scenes and be an element you could click on, that would then take you on a side mission with whomever was inside of the DIP at the time.
Cool idea, but the execution of that proved to be too much for us. It also required several new scenes with dialogue and VO that would have added several more months to the production process.
We still love that idea, so you will see DIP’s in the visual novel Ehko Island, they just won’t be clickable. Maybe in the future, we’ll have more help and be able to make that kind of thing work well.
Until then, here are some test renders of the DIP with a few beautiful passengers.
