Kingdoms and Empires

Going over what the MC can do in the ending for the War in the North, and looked over examples of land reform throughout history. Spent almost five hours on research yesterday as it became a bit of a rabbit hole of "OH FUCK; OH SHIT; NOOOOOO!" while going through it. "Land Reform is pretty hard" is

So a bit of strange news: https://www.theverge.com/tech/875309/discord-age-verification-global-roll-out https://www.ign.com/articles/discord-rolling-out-teen-by-default-settings-globally-next-month-with-age-verification-needed-to-disable-content-filtering https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/02/

Game Link I last updated on Nov 7th... Holy hell it's been a tumultuous time since. It must be tumultuous for many of you as well, especially if you live in the states. Shit's been rough. I can't even promise shit will be stable from now on cause I can't, that's how "teetering on the edge" my life i

In the last Progress Report, I detailed the outlining for the Pinebeach Section. In this Progress Report, I'm happy to say we've begun the section proper. I also realized that the Free Folk were probably absolutely confused as to what the fuck was going on because I did two update drops as if they w

This month is gonna be a heavy development month! Today was outlining day for the Pinebeach section. Though there are three "branches" you will be able to explore all of them. The fun part is WHEN you decide to visit them! The world moves along without you while you're visiting elsewhere. Today's ef

Added in Refuse the dagger choice from the first day watch sacrifice branch, and completed it. It is 1,890 words of content. PLEASE CONSIDER CONTENT MAY CHANGE AS I REVISE AND SPOT MISTAKES SO THIS IS NOT FINAL VERSION LOL Ill show the Friendly and Stoic options: Added in You join your father choice

Was near 20k, cut it down by 2k because stuff wasnt finished yet. However, due to a change in circumstances for me (that being that my parents have at last recognized the apocalypse that is the current job market) I am no longer stressed out about having to find employment somewhere and no longer be

I'm back in the USA! Soy ciudadano de los Estados Unidos de México!!! In other words, I am now a citizen of the United States of Mexico!!! Thank GOD something good came out of this latest trip haha, was genuinely going to crash out if I didn't. The personal reason that made me go south in the first

Sup guys, work on KaE will begin in earnest again sometime perhaps Wednesday. Some quick info in my life: Im going to Mexico again for personal reasons. Shitty reasons. Hence the lack of Progress Reports or actual update. I wasnt really able to write with having to plan for this sudden trip and get

Lord Demetriel Morven. An idealist in a cynical world. Demetriel is very cautious and wishes to avoid fighting altogether when possible even though he is training to be a warrior. But this is not due to cowardice or naivety. In fact, he is heroic by nature, and kind. Many find him very approachable

While im working away on the current update, i thought of doing something fun since i was looking into dog behaviors and stuff. Why not show readers what dog breed characters are most like?? Honestly, for some reason, I think this'll help readers familiarize themselves more with the characters in an

Sorry guys, was aiming for weekly releases this month but the nature of the story at this point isn’t allowing me to give you meaty chunks that are deep instead of wide. Meaning far shorter playthroughs of new content leaving a sense of “really, that’s it?” By now you should know what I’m talking ab

Sup guys! This was an extremely technical update, as you'll see below. I made the character bios/relevant information become *gosubs so that I dont duplicate text and inflate word count like a cheater lol Super thankful I got it to work since i was falling asleep and was thinking about KaE (like i u

Sup guys! I'm back home and ready to get started on work with KaE again! The border crossing went well! Just wanted to let yall know all is good, and that im getting back to work. The emergency thing that made me leave in the first place is resolved as well. Worst part of the return trip was the bus

Sup guys! Unfortunately, not ready to release. I mean sure, the weather has been sorta tricky at the start (frequent black outs in the villages near Los Mochis, Sinaloa) but I just switched from desktop to laptop so i dont lose any progress from sudden power outages. Only lost progress the first tim

165k words of the actual game 27k of the Relationships tab 5k of the Codex Tab. In total, the demo has 197k words of content. Including lines of code, meaning stat descriptions included? 213,184 words. All full of mostly new content. It's uh... a really long prologue! The Prologue will run you from

Hi guys, as some of you already know, I've been revamping the Tumblr Pinned post. Please, give it a like or reblog if you haven't already! I'd really appreciate the help and support! It's gonna be regularly updated with the newly commissioned paintings of the rest of the ROs. The painting style is g

Sup guys, ill be detailing the major changes I did to the game while working on the Epilogue for the Childhood Arc. Alongside some polishing, fixing up spelling and grammar errors. I also went back and made transitions from branches smoother. Hopefully you dont notice that, cause thats the point lol

Sup guys! TLDR: Update on Monday, and a Progress Report in the weekend. I'm just making my way giving the demo the finishing touches to prep it for public release. Much of that is "boring" and not worth putting on a Progress Report with screenshots. It really is just busywork. Examples: 1) Putting i

Hi guys! When I wake up tomorrow, work on the epilogue shall begin with a regular schedule! I've recovered big time, and I feel great with no more coughing fits or fevers. I'm also thankful for the time to let myself mentally recharge so as to not burn out. I'll keep you guys in the loop as I progre

Hi guys, just wanted to let you all know that all is good again. Im back in the US, i've finished the things i needed to do once i got back (irl obligations and all that), and i am once again back into the swing of things before the Mexico stay happened. KaE is now my sole focus once again. As I sai

While working on KaE, I really wanted to avoid the weird bs that usually comes when writing or researching medieval marriages. Biggest being the age gap of the parties. There's the Formal and Informal societal expectations so far. Formal means legally enforced, whereas informal isnt legally enforced

Hello guys! TLDR: The next update will release on Wednesday. We begin the route by telling everyone that we want to go south. But this brings arguments, even pleading from the adults around you to not go. Lady Valerie and Sir William both debate the matter, Lady Valerie in favor of letting you go th
