Poll results, Looking ahead to V0.80, and Steam!
🕑 Added 2022-10-07 19:00:00 +0000 UTCThe Poll for Mid/Small stories
Looking at the outcome, not unsurprisingly, the Tribes-route came out as the most popular route by far. I'll be making some changes in my schedule for next year to try and see if I can get an update to that route at the start of the year, which should be doable.
Other than that, I wasn't too surprised to see that the Underworld-route also had its fair share of fans, but I was actually surprised to see that the Marion-route also had quite the following. I was initially going to put the Marion-route off for a while, but seeing this poll, I might reconsider and work on an outline for next year.
It was interesting to me to see that in the first poll, the Princess-route was so popular, and now the Tribes-route was a clear winner, while each of these is quite different from the other. Who knows, maybe opposites do attract!
Looking ahead to v0.80
But, next year is next year, and the content for this year has not run dry yet!
Looking ahead for v0.80 I'm going to be working on further expanding the warrior-storyline.
The update is shaping up to be quite big, current estimates have it coming out to more than 20 illustrations (not counting variants), and around 50.000 words. That's almost a novel!
This update will contain some pretty big character moments, a big lore-dump, the appearance of a character from a different storyline and some truly consequential decisions.
I'm as excited for this next update as I'm terrified of the size of the thing! But I am nothing if not a workaholic, so I feel confident that I'll manage to get this update out by this month. I won't pick an exact date yet, but I suspect more towards the end of the month.
In other news, we're on Steam now too!
I've recently been putting a bit of energy into getting a Steam page up and running for the game.
For most of you, I don't think it will be very interesting, because my #1 priority is always going to be this Patreon and this Patreon will always be the first place to have the most recent version of the game.
Having said that, any support is always welcome, for those who might want to give it a Wishlist, this is the link. I've been told that can be a big help in visibility. Any help is appreciated, but don't feel obligated.

I do all the writing and coding on the game, as well as coming up with the basic outlines for the artwork. The actual art itself is made by a few different artists that I cooperate with. It's also the reason why some of the art looks noticeably different from other pieces, though it all roughly falls in an anime-ish style. I'd like a more unified style for the whole game, but by sacrificing consistency I gain a lot of production speed; 2d art can be slow to make. My idea is that perhaps in the future, when the main stories are all finished, I might get someone to re-do some of the pieces that are too different in quality or style.
Do you make your own art or do you buy it?
