Matriarch V0.1 - Public Release
Hey all, Ahri's new update should release next week, but in the mean time, allow me to present my newest project: Matriarch.
Matriarch is a new Femdom Strategy Game made by ElatedOwl
(It's pretty much civilization but with kinky femdom scenes)
Overview
The powerful Queen Seraphine grows tired of managing her realm. She has more important things to do, like being pretty, and being pampered, and laying in bed all day. She has assigned YOU, her Royal Consort, to manage her empire in her stead.
You serve as the royal consort of High Queen Seraphine.
Explore new lands and encounter enemies.
Build her empire and choose how to grow.
Manage her realm and make tough decisions.
Defeat her rivals, or fall to their temptations.
Matriarch is a 4X game (like the Civilization series). You will explore, expand, exploit and exterminate. All the while doing exactly what your Queen commands of you. Fail her commands and you will be punished, obey and you will be rewarded.
The Queen watches over you, always.
You will find many foes want to seduce or steal you away from your Queen. Will you be able to resist and conquer them in your Queen's name? Or will your empire crumble to ash while you and the Queen end up captured and enslaved?
Important Developer Notes:
This is a V0.1 version, proof of concept. The game is not yet finished.
AI art is not ideal, but there are 200 images in the game, it is simply not possible to make human art at that scale at this stage in development, it can however happen over time if people enjoy the game enough.
LoD will continue to not use any AI generated art.
Matriarch is an experiment, and one I would love to get your feedback on.
Please provide any feedback you can so we can shape the game from this stage!

ADD SUPPORT FOR MODS AND SOMEWHERE TO UPLOAD THEM!!! I'm also a software engineer working with AI hahaha 8)
I've noticed that if you successfully seduce the Grand Inquisitor, she switches sides to join you, but you can't do anything with her except move her, and no one attacks or bothers her, but you can no longer defeat her.
Great potential, and a lot od open ways to develop through. I really like it.
It's a really good start to a game and it's cool that it's a "full game" already. I think this game has a lot of potential and can do very well. It would be a good idea to have a simple free public game, but also a premium version for patrons or sale would be a smart business move. Here is what I liked about it, Interesting mix of femdom/lezdom. I liked how you made the units themselves characters and that gives you a lot of creative paths. Becoming "friends" with the enemy was really smart possible path. -Some AI art is fine as long as it's edited and checked. AI should be a tool to help, it is easy to tell when AI moves from tool to speed up the creative process or expand on an ambitious project to lazy slop, but I don't think that is a real risk here. Here is in my opinion what would be the best room of expansion. Add difficulty levels, currently too easy. Add minor leader characters for the independent towns each with a bit of their own personality. If they come in peacefully you can have the protagonist conduct "diplomacy", but if they came in through violence, the queen is brought in chains to be punished by your queen. -When funtari is off, make the barbarians normal ladies. This is where AI could just make your life easier by quick editing the other photos. -create an ending when you can betray your queen. Maybe have events which you make the other Queen stronger, but you weaken your reputation with your Queen drastically, making it a risk and a line that needs to be carefully balanced. - Make option for female protagonist (AI could help here, and can make it a premium feature) -Expand the cut scenes. When you defeat a unit or get defeated, have more renders of her humiliation by the queens or even the other unit that specifically defeated them. This is where the game can shine as you can always do additions here, keeping the game fresh and I'll keep coming back for more. -A great way to keep the game fresh and relevant is to add more enemy queens which you'll have different enemies in each game. -I like your skills, but maybe overtime move over to less cartoony renders and cutscenes.
Thank you very much for your detailed feedback, it's very helpful!
Love the concept, really enjoyed v0.1 already! :D
I've tried it and i like the concept just some thought: -There is no available way to travel through sea, will there be one in the future ? -The queen mission happen without giving us a break can be a detriment sometimes, which force player to just stale the objectif completion as long as possible in some situation. -there is a glitch i think with the inquisition faction where if you first meet them with relation lower than 20, they dont go to war and dont attack us. -The land that got corrupted is very difficult to notice visually speaking. -The diplomacy is quite limited in my opinion at his current state, i barely interact with it, especially when favor with our queen is heavily impacted, only the event produce the best effect. -The land upgrade is too limited, only one building per land is too low, and sometime doesnt provide that much value, especially in comparison with city building. -There is no "one more turn" button after completing main objective -The jewelry we buy for our queen feel very expensive for too low value gameplay wise, and 3 turns for that feel too short and there is no notification, or if there is one, i didnt see it. The penalty is fine, maybe too low for most of it. -The battle system lack of abilities and options for our units, it rely too heavily on stats, we cant take cover, hide, build defensive structure and we lack on support unit that can buff or heal units for example.
Thanks for all the feedback Aurexo, I'll be sure to fix a lot of this for the next version!
SO MUCH POTENTIAL ! Let there be war DEUS VULT !
The idea / concept sounds awesome. I understand LoD being your main game and focus on art. I personally have no issue for a game of this scale utilizing AI art. I know AI is not everyone’s cup of tea but for a “side project / concept” totally understandable if it’s a test for something you want to put more effort into. I’m a big fan of civilization so looking forward to this new project.
Sounds interesting! May I ask: Is it female or male protagonist? Does it have lesbian content? Does it have a lesbian path?
There are heaps of lezdom scenes currently.
Will any of your Awesome games ever come to Android?
Yes, eventually! Joiplay also works somewhat already.
man right when I'm getting into strategy games again perfect timing
I don't mind the use of AI, but what i saw other creators do is train a Model to generate Art in there style. I am exicted to check the new game out anyway thank you very much.
