Alderian News (And changes!)

Hello adventurers!

The latest update's progress is going well, just wanted to touch base and let you all know we're still alive as well as discuss a few changes and things moving forward.

First and foremost, this is the revised release schedule. It's mostly the same, though we did add a little extra time for some of the 'bigger' updates, just in case. We have revised how we handle our steam releases slightly as well after some feedback.

Please keep in mind, all the dates here are considered approx. We'll do our best to hit the dates, but people fall sick, life happens, etc. We will of course say if there's a delay.

Now, onto the important change for you guys. You may have noticed, your tiers have been tweaked slightly.

-Now, ALL tiers will be able to vote in every poll, but tiers are WEIGHTED.

This means, for example:

Infantry Knight - 1 vote is worth 1.

Crusader - 1 vote is worth 2.

Inquisitor - 1 vote is worth 3.

Aristocrat - 1 vote is worth 4.

Counselor - 1 vote is worth 10.

The hope is this system will widen community engagement, allowing those who were unable to vote before to now have more of a voice, whilst still retaining value in the respective tiers.

The plan moving forward is to hopefully engage you guys more often in polls. Something we feel we've unfortunately neglected a bit recently.

....

That's all for now, they'll be stuff for you guys to sink your teeth into very soon once you head back into the world of Parasite Black, for now though...

Thank you all so much for your support,

you guys make this adventure possible for us too!

Love,

-The Damned Studios Team

I really am looking forward to these updates and and anticipating what new stuff is coming up, I do hope that the more perverse perks get their features implemented (like the gender swap and mind control) and that the two other students at the mage tower gets their stories expanded in one of the upcoming updates, I look forward to seeing the ending of act 1 but seeing the entirety of act 1 would be a nice bit as well.
