The Rebellioun Rundown!
Hello everybody, I've had a lot of questions about Rebellioun and it's time to dump some info!
The women are designed to be very Olde English peasant coded, yet still diverse. I'm not going to go into detail about the women themselves quite yet, but I'm sure you've spotted that most of them are in familial groups. There are six families living in the small village of Hetherby, plus a couple of extras, and the player's goal in the first arc of Rebellioun is to muster them into joining him in ousting a mysterious subjugating group, apparently sent by the King himself.
The group is led by Marshall Jackson, who seems to care little for Hetherby and its residents, and instead he is focused on completing his mysterious task... and enjoying himself.
To keep the villagers in line, once a week he orders three of the village's women, chosen by a spinning wheel, to serve in the Longhouse, a pub-cum-barracks for the Marshall's men!
There is a strong incentive for the MC to muster the rebellioun as soon as possible. The longer he takes to do so, the more compliant the women of the village become, and the more willing they are to go along with whatever is asked of them... If a woman reaches max compliance or becomes pregnant, they will be less helpful to the MC in the events to come. The Longhouse segment is a daily beat where the women will gain the most compliance, and it is (usually) visible by the player.
Each woman has their own traits. All women have one trait visible at the start of the game, and as your relationship grows with each woman, you will be able to see their second and third traits, which can help you plan your strategy on how to protect them.
Also, as the game progresses, Marshall Jackson finds more use for the women and they get sent to events — for example to work in the King's Harem, or the Auction, or even taking them for himself...
As the women's compliance increases, scenes will play as the MC moves around the village (similar to what I've posted previously etc), which add to the women's sex stats and may change their outfits etc. Also as the women spend more time with the men, they may leave their mark on them...
The MC also has his own pitfalls to avoid, such as paying a weekly tribute to the gang, and dealing with a dark occult connection he has had since he was very young. If he does something wrong and is thrown in the stocks, that means a week of no progress, and a week where he can't protect anyone or see what has occurred (only through the women's stats menus later).
A final note: In the first release of the game, the women appear more static than I want them to, and some animations are still quite basic and stiff (I WANT BOUNCING TIDDIES!!!). After first release, HOPEFULLY I'll garner some interest and get a few more patrons who are interested in the project, and then I can hire someone who knows about splines etc to animate some stuff better than I can. Small (bad) sample here:

Regarding where I am with the project, the first version will be ready within a month (I hope). I'm still waiting on some good capsule art but please consider wishlisting it on steam anyway!
In other news, I've updated my Patreon tiers a little, so now only Big Mochi Patreons will be able to play the first version for as long as they like + be able to access Rebellioun builds after the first. The free version is still an EXTREMELY MEATY demo/version, but it's capped at 8 weeks play time, which is more than enough to learn and enjoy the pace of the game.
I'm not one to speak about financial stuff really... but this shit is extremely expensive, and I've literally been selling stuff on ebay to pay for the last of the art I need for the first version, so I have to focus on my financial stuff a little, please bear with me!
That's all for now Mochi-fans, I love you all so much, thank you all for your support!
-Your humble servant, Mochi
PS: Lemme get this first version out, then I'll finish Maya's Mission off 100%, I promise.
PPS: Tell me your favourite girl in the comments!
PPS: You MAY recognize the silhouette of one of those girls... More info to come :]
