Finished the game, some questions (potential spoilers for others playing)

[Virus973]

Hey PDS.
Finished this one up and left you a review, but I know I didn't get everything. So I got questions if you don't mind:
*** More technical/story/lore related ***
Do the key items you get or side-quests you do influence the ending? (e.g. Would the robot the children in Union Grove were building show up if you didn't deliver the schematics ?
Are these games supposed to take place in the same universe? There's many references from Elijah and the Great Adventure (Easton-Hammond, Psionic powers, mutations, etc.) Obviously the timeline between the two games are vastly different.
I noticed there was another game you had that'd been pulled involving "Percy". I think you were remaking it using Unity? How goes it?
In those event scenes, any reason to ever select "Wait?"?

*** The rest are related to key items and achievements ***
It looks like Oceanus on the Moon requires 3 crystals.. but I only got 2, any hints on where the third one is?
I enjoyed the VR section of the game except for that damn clock lol. I think I was missing one dream orb. I did beat the optional area, but anything for getting all orbs?
On Earth there's a storage area that's hidden behind a tree not far from another storage area . Any hints on where the key is?
Hints on where Herbert's final weapon is?
Where's Percy?
In that Mining Area on the Moon, right before that optional robot boss there's a reference to the giant face, foot, and something else.. ear?. I've been to all three, was this meant to open something? Thought it was related to the Lunarians on Earth and that strange retreat place on the Moon (where you have to walk far to the right to enter a building with a one way teleporter).

Really enjoyed the game and look forward to more of your work!
And thanks for keeping the game patched up as I played!

Thanks for playing and thanks for the review!

If you get all the key items, you get a bonus cutscene (the ending of my first game). Otherwise, the only things that add additional cutscenes to the ending are meeting Dr. Abbott, meeting the Lunarians, and getting the schematics. The rest don't influence the ending. All my games take place in the same universe, but I pulled my first game from Steam because I made it with my own game engine and now code with Unity. I'm working on remaking it.

All the orbs are in the Dream World and the 3 gems in Oceanus will take you to Neptune to get one more key item. Let me see if I can get a map to show you where it is as well as the storage keys.

'Wait' just returns another dialogue option. It doesn't change the story.

The face, foot and eye are just references to the bonus boss. No story events occur there.

Thanks again for playing. Pedro and Sofia's Nuclear Winter will take place 200 years after this game and is largely a medieval/fantasy setting.
