I made a remake of [Invade], but it's not the way you guys are probably thinking.

Following our fine tradition, I'll drop the pics first and then tell you what the hell happened.

"This is a work-in-progress scene snippet. Everything here could still change by the time it officially releases."

This project is set in a fictional world where one day a country gets hit out of nowhere with air raid sirens and bombs dropping everywhere. A little boy runs home from school through the chaos of the war, only to find his mother and his little sister lying dead on the ground. And yeah, you guys can probably guess what happens next.

Why did I suddenly decide to make this piece? Well, the truth is I've actually been planning this new series for about half a year now—roughly around the same time I announced the [Invade] remake. But honestly, these two projects are super similar: both feature a very young girl and a MILF. The only real differences this time are no pillow and no creepy uncle climbing in through the window. I just didn't want to put out two stories with basically the same setup back-to-back in such a short time. That's one thing.

The second reason is that this is actually the second time I've announced I'm remaking the [Invade] series. If [New Management] marks the start of KosoruCG 2.0, then [Invade] is basically the starting point of KosoruCG 1.0—everything before that was more like a beta phase or prototypes. So [Invade] really holds huge significance for me. That's exactly why I want to make its remake.

And the reason I announced it about half a year ago but then paused was because I had no clue how to actually make the remake. Do people want something super close to the original, or should I make changes? If I don't change anything, is it even really a "remake"? So this time my original plan was: okay, fine, I'll start making changes. I'll tweak some stuff to make it fit what I want now. But then the problem hit me—I was super restricted by the framework of the old work. What I created back then has now become a huge limitation for me. The stuff from that time isn't refined enough, so to make it more polished I have to overhaul it massively. But if I'm gonna make such huge changes anyway... wouldn't it just be better to start a completely new story from scratch?

So I made this scene to serve as [Invade 2.0] instead of a straight remake. It’s got a similar character lineup, way more polished scenes, and a better-thought-out story. Honestly, I just can’t bring myself to remake something I already did before. Sorry to anyone who’s disappointed—I’ve announced twice now that I was gonna remake the series. But please let me make it up to you with this: I’m treating this new series as [Invade 2.0] to replace the remake I originally planned. I really hope you guys end up liking this new story. Since it’s a project I’ve been planning for a long time, my pace right now is actually super fast. I’m expecting to have the first episode ready in two to three days so people can check out the new series. And finally, I wanted to ask everyone…

Of course we'll end up using both of them eventually, but which character do you want to appear first in the earlier episodes?What I mean is, I want my scenes to have a bit more logical flow, but I'm not really sure what standard I should use to decide which one this little boy interacts with first.Anyway, the first episode won't have any interaction scenes, so you've got plenty of time to think about it until I start working on episode two.Feel free to drop your thoughts in the comments below or come find me in my server.One last time—my sincere apologies.

I really don't think I can pull off the [Invade] remake, but I still have to keep moving forward, so I gotta do something.
