8/15 Status Update

Netoria Tactics: Revolution is done! ...Minus some bugs that will need to be fixed. But I really don't plan to add any more content, although of course I said this before. Circumstances change, but those circumstances really don't seem like they'll align in a way that makes more content make sense. For one, a big part of the reason for doing the update was because the scene artist for the series, Rad Lad, didn't have anything to do. But now they're working on Netoria 2 Act 2 content, so there's no niche to be filled anymore.

I also don't personally have time to fill anymore because the Naked Ambition train is full steam ahead now. I want to get the first update out next month, and maybe the full .9 in October, we'll see. I'm not sure how long it will take me, it could be longer than that. I know what needs to be written, and I think I can get it done in a reasonable amount of time, but writing failures have been a big block to Naked Ambition development before. But getting past such obstacles is part of what game development is about. After all, the art was a huge barrier, but that's been solved now.

This is one of the last pieces of art you'll see in the game. It's for the final vote. The regency council will finally decide whether the Princess or Adelin should be made the ruler of the kingdom. After this, there will be some scenes of the fallout, and that's where version .9 will end. After that I'll have to make a looooot of epilogues. Who the Princess is in a relationship with, whether she's on the throne or not, all of these will have variations. And not small ones either, the Princess will have a completely different life in each of them. Making all this will take a while, but once it's all done the game will have reached 1.0 and be finished. I'm planning on making all the epilogues in parallel with Netoria Tactics 2. So while I'm working on Act 2 content, I'll release the epilogues in bunches.

Speaking of Netoria Tactics 2 Act 2, I'm getting a head start on that now, with the first art orders being sent out this week. I'm going to release it in 8 parts, two updates per POV, each with half of Act 2 in them. So it will go Zaman Act 2 part 1, then Shah Act 2 part 1, then Azar Act 2 part 1, Vashti Act 2 part 1, Zaman Act 2 part 2, etc. That'll take around a year and a half to get done I think. So the schedule until the end of 2026 is going to be Netoria Tactics 2 Act 2, and Naked Ambition epilogues. We'll see if something else pops up in there, that tends to happen pretty often. But as of now, that's the plan. I'm really excited for Netoria Tactice 2 Act 2, I think it should be some of the best content I've ever made. I've shown the seeds in Act 1 for a lot of stuff. Love, betrayal, drama, character development, I've got big plans. Now it's all up to me to execute that vision.

That's all for this week. As always, thank you for your continued support.
