Dunno what it says about me, but ... it did cross my mind when I played it.
So I take it the grim Heart of the Alien sequel on Sega CD isn't canon?
Considering the 'plot' in the game is extremely minimal, this would have been a pretty odd twist.
Not really. The hero is about to die from his wounds and the Alien guy takes him away from the enemies. There's really no subtext there in a fame was was prety much devoid of any meaningfull dialogue
Dude passed out when the alien picked him up from the ground. He was about to die. Also he's resting against his back on the dragon so taking that as some kind of romance hint is a super stretch.He puts his head on his shoulder.
It's like fandom only official XD
But check that booty (Jan'15)
Only thing I can say about Another IVorld is that I fucking hate it although I can absolutely recognize how important it is and how beautifully made it was.
I was always more of a Flashback guy anyway.
I still can't fathom how we just let Delphine software die just like they're nothing though.
Gay romance could work in the game, could have been a bit on the nose...
It would have been censored to hell and back on console though.

It always seemed odd to me that after Future Wars (good), Operation Stealth (great) and Cruise for a Corpse (landmark) they gave up on graphic adventures.
In the early/mid nineties, these were still a goldmine and they were obviously great at them.
Yeah it's bullshit too unless we got words of chahiYou'll have to excuse me if I don't trust what this person says unless it's confirmed by Chahi. If they won't even release relevant snippets of correspondence, there's absolutely nothing to confirm what they're saying, and I have a natural distrust of people who appear to be a little obsessed. They have a tendency to make things out of nothing.
Already searched for a thread on this, didn't find anything.

If you look at their portfolio, you'll notice something interesting.It always seemed odd to me that after Future Wars (good), Operation Stealth (great) and Cruise for a Corpse (landmark) they gave up on graphic adventures.

Personally, I don't see how it would have worked. It wouldn't have just been on the nose, it would have felt very shoehorned in. At its heart, Another World was a short but pretty puzzle platformer. There was no time for character exploration outside of "let's get out of here" and "alien with red eyes is evil", and adding romance into it couldn't have boiled down to much more than "hi alien I've just met, let's fuck".
A longer game with more actual narrative could have supported such a subplot, but I don't see how the first Another World was that game.
From an outside perspective, Delphine's progression as a developer was really disappointing. After Fade to Black they basically became the Moto Racer company, and their more artistic leanings were consigned to history.

not like thisavid fan of Another World ever since seeing it played on Game Grumps
Nothing wrong...
I bet the dude got played into making a comic on the cheap. Currently has a decent following? Check, Creepily in love with the franchise? Check, ok at drawing? Check. Easy to underpay? You god damn bet thats a check.
not like this
Nothing wrong...
Players can date aliens in Mass Effect and can't in Another World?
How is it gay if hes an alien?

Why is the book called "fanbook" while the artist says it's official?
Add me to those who remain a little cautious
I'll admit. ok. i'll admit it dammit. I thought the alien was a woman, and I thought she was sweet on the hero. homosexuality never occurred to my young mind, but even I could tell there was something there. Strange how it all just came back to me.
It's amazing that that was the intention, and I say hey, full speed ahead. Love can bloom in alternate universes.

Am I remembering a different ending though ?
I thought the alien died or was left on the planet after putting the red haired guy on the dragon.
I want From Dust 2. 😭Would add a really interesting new dimension to the game, and the whole story could function as an allegory for the homosexual experience (or any "other"ed group), in having to escape to another world to find oneself and feel loved. Particularly at the time and place when this released. Honestly had never crossed my mind, but I'm a straight male, so that also wouldn't be necessarily surprising.
That being said, Another World is such a deeply personal work for Chahi that I don't feel comfortable accepting new layers to his vision unless they come from him himself. Would love to hear from him on it, the more Chahi, the better.
God, when are we going to see another game from him?
