Ryukishi decided that he wanted to make a game like that, too. The games began with comedy and introduction of the characters and the basic concepts of the world then the player got to know the characters then something tragic happened to make the player cry just as they'd gotten to care about the cast, accompanied by revelations of the true nature of the world and what had really been going on the whole time then the story culminated with a miracle to Earn Your Happy Ending. Studying their games, he noticed that they all followed a basic structure. For inspiration, he looked to one of the industry's pioneers, Key/Visual Arts.

In a future when Earth is a toxic, abandoned world and humanity has spread into the outer solar system to survive, the tightly controlled use of time travel holds the key to maintaining a fragile existence among the other planets and their moons. – Ann Leckie, Author of the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning Ancillary Justice “Time twisting action-adventure as only Wesley Chu could imagine it. Tracing the fissures and slippages within and between the optimistic imaginaries of two key texts, Farmer in the Sky (1950) and Destination Moon (1950), the article argues that astrofuturism’s energy frontiers contain as much potential for powered-down imaginaries as the more obvious powered-up visions suggested by high-energy rocket and terraforming technologies. By imagining the exploration and colonization of extraterrestrial planets upon which crude has never formed, and travel through outer space in which internal combustion engines do not work, astrofuturism is, of necessity, a post-oil imaginary. This angst, prior to the emergence of ‘peak oil’ discourse by the mid-1970s, proleptically recognises the finitude of the ‘American Century’s’ petroculture. Building on Jason Moore’s world-ecological understanding of the history of capitalism’s recurrent expansions as being dialectically tied to its demand for new sources of energy, the article suggests that a pervasive sense of ‘energy-angst’ underlies the more obvious tensions mobilising Cold War astrofuturism. By situating De Witt Douglas Kilgore’s understanding of ‘astrofuturist’ American SF within the context of the postwar ‘Great Acceleration’ and petromodernity, this article reads astrofuturism’s extraterrestrial frontier as an energy frontier.
