What's coming in the next update?
Hey legends!
I'm currently working on a bigger update for the game. Take a look at what's already in:
What's coming:
Resolution options (per requests)
Fortuneteller system + character in the camp
Foundation of perk system (I’d like the player to use girl XP to unlock perks through a neat card-like UI—allowing specialization)
Further balancing of gold
More hidden treasure in the world
Accounting UI
Player UI
I think I’ll need about a week to wrap these up and prepare to expand on the main quest.
Further plans
Now that we have a lose condition I'd be great to have a win condition as well. The initial plan was to introduce a slow magical disease to the player which imposes a soft time limit (3 years or so) curable only by the court alchemist. To get there you'd need to earn enough fame for your inn which will be available through a noble request system.
How's it going to work? For example the nobles will request a girl with certain parameters (cooking 50, dancing 70, refinement 30). You have a week to fulfill this demand and if you do you get some custom event scenes and an increase in fame.
I have not yet decided if girl fame should be a parameter too (maybe used for perks instead of xp?) but we're definitely going for inn fame as a win condition and a progression mechanic for quests.
I've been also thinking about the second work minigame but I think it's too early to introduce anything combat based (i'd like to finish the abovementioned mechanics first) - so my idea would be a mining based minigame. I'm thinking sokoban with a limited amount of moves based on player stats/stamina.
Discord
I'm very happy about the Discord community taking an active part in the development with feedback and ideas. You can join in here:
If you're a Patron and have an idea for patron only perks let me know.
Free version
We're heading towards a free release. The free version will be several versions behind the paid and will be updated at a much slower pace. I aim to release it after two more updates (excluding the one I'm working on right now) - so around one, one and a half month from now.
Big Thank you!
I'd like to thank all the supporters, we've already passed 60 patrons and the community is growing steadily - thank you so so much, for enabling me to make my hobby better and bigger.
