News From the Six Realms #44 - Seeds of Chaos goes Bisexu- I mean, Bi-Monthly
🕑 Added 2019-10-11 11:41:50 +0000 UTCHello everyone,
So the final monthly release is out now, and we finished as we started by getting it out on time as always. It was a fun experiment, but I think bi-monthly is going to work better in the long run as previously discussed. Bit of an odd month, we shot up and at one point it looked like we might reach 9k, only to drop back down to just below where we started. Weird, but we push on as always.
So, what is happening for the first bi-monthly release, you ask? As we stated previously, nothing is changing about how we work, so it will be double the size of a normal release (40-50k words, 16 CGs plus variants). The main focus for the next one is Rastedel, Winter will be working on it primarily for both months, and he has drafted on Hooky to help him in that front as well, who'll also be doing a few smaller events. Rein is working on his next Cliohna event as his main priority, but may also add to the Rastedel content if he has time.
On the art front, Sommy is working on the first of two backgrounds (as you can see above) as we work to eliminate the backlog. MDN has sent over the sketches for the first lot of CGs, which I have begun sharing with the backers, and Keidi is making generic sprites we can use for non-important characters.
Going forward, our current plan is to finish Rastedel over the next few months, then switch focus to the remaining content needed to close out act one. This includes the alternative race recruitment narrative (goblins), the Arthdale restoration side quest, and the act one character arcs for all the major NPCs. At the same time we'll be implementing the mechanical improvements, and continuing to work on eliminating the art backlog (there's only twenty-odd missing CGs now, which is impressive as at one point it was around a hundred). We'll also be looking at visual polishing, and sound design, to give it a more professional feel for the eventual release, while beginning pre-production on the first setting of the second act - The Frozen Tundra.
That's all for today. I'll be doing another one of these next month to update you all on the progress of the release.

She'll pop up again later if she is free.
I’m still interested in a small Helayna segment (after she escapes). Or just more Helayna in the future despite her being a slave

The game has changed massively since then, and there'll be no other scenarios due to how big the project has become. Assuming people are interested though, there's no reason there won't be sequels or side story games when SoC is eventually finished.
I saw a particular post from awhile back and I'm wondering if Helayna is still going to be the 2nd scenario character(i dont think this is happening anymore or at all). I'm also wondering: how many scenarios are in the game?

Is there a way to view the entire exploration map, or at least zoom out? If not, that would be a really appreciated quality of life feature.

Sounds good to me.

The fertility treatment will be included in this act, pregnancy will not.

Keep up the great work. Your game is unique, the artwork is fantastic and the story line is compelling!

So does this mean act one will include the pregnancy option? That is in Act 1 but currently unfinished.

A game company completely staffed by the bi community? 🤔
