Fourth Goal

Hi guys, I’d like to welcome you to today’s announcement and the upcoming CoR future! As you already know, we have reached and surpassed the fourth goal, a very important one, which will allow us to reach new goals. Thank you for all the support you have shown me so far, without you it would not have been possible. Now, let’s try to analyze what is new in this fourth goal:

 Full-time jobs 

Very simple, now CoR has officially become my job, and I will have to devote myself 100% to it. Mind you, I still have to fix a few things and quit my old job, and I’m also getting a new PC, to improve the quality of the game. Speaking of a new PC, it’s finally time to show you which machine gave birth to the game you love so much:

I did the pic yesterday and don’t mind the burnt pixels, it has only been in this state for a few months. Isn’t it beautiful? Joking aside, this old bolt is now reaching its last days of life, it is finally time to retire you, at least until the new beast arrives.  

Seasonal and festivities events

I’m going to do seasonal events. They will work this way, I will allow you to choose a girl who will be the main protagonist of the event, and this event will be timed, it can last from 1 up to 3 builds, after which the event will not be normally accessible, but will be revisited via event tracker, so doing there will be new every year, and obviously if a girl is chosen, can not be used for the next event until the end of the cycle. I’m talking about you, Izanami fans.  

More main girls 

Now we can make the secondary girls into main girls, yeeeeeeeeee! You will choose who will make this transition through voting. 

 More places 

More girls, more places. Seems logical to me.  

Multiple ending 

I’m going to put more endings. As for the girls, I would like to give you the possibility to unlock the unique ending for each girl, a harem ending and also a “solo” ending. The unlocking modes are still to be worked out. I’ve also thought about gameovers. Tell me what you think.  

Izanami head-pat system (eheheh) 

Yes, I finally put the headpat on Iza  

Instant Pregnancy I will give you the chance to make potions in the lab and use them to make lewd with the pregnant girls of your choice, so I hope to satisfy those who have this strong desire.

Now let’s move on to off-goal topics.

First, thanks to the new pc, I intend to revise and improve the old scenes and update the character models. Regarding the scenes, I’m talking about lighting, shadows, contrasts and angles, I want everything to be top notch. I’m going to redo the prologue, which is the weakest point of the whole game. I already know what to change, it’s going to be better than just “Oh wow I read an interesting book, ah boom monsters around”. Also, the models of the girls will be improved, maybe you don’t notice it, but every two release the models get minor changes, tiny things. This time, I want to make them better without changing the character. While I was there, I also improved Tailé’s model:

Some people might not like it, but this way it reflects better the example of a tough girl than the baby face on the left. More choices will come, like the one you saw in Cleos’ event, and these choices will also be added to the older parts of the game. If it wasn’t clear, I’m someone who constantly wants to improve every single element. As for the dialogue, well, I know it’s not the best, so I’ll see what I can do about that. As for the quests, I’m going to create bigger signals, in the sense that rather than fragmenting the quests into multiple pieces, I’m going to create a single signal with multiple steps. An example would be Sheila’s quests. Instead of being 5 initial ones, you can make a single signal with 9 steps. Tell me what you think. Now to a more complicated topic, the switch to monthly builds. They mean more content, sure, but there are factors that make me say no at the moment.

In my opinion, CoR cannot sustain itself. Why do I say this? Simply, there are still external factors which do not allow us to reach a higher potential. I don’t want to blame anyone, but unfortunately after 40 versions there are still people who avoid the game for a reason, you can certainly get there with no problems. Users write to me they were initially hesitant to try it because it reminds them of “other games”, but then they changed their minds after giving it a chance. Imagine how many other people are in the same situation. I’m sorry to say this, but unfortunately we are still under the negative influence of “others”, and frankly this makes me rightly angry. You know what, a month ago another interesting game came out, and in just one month it could reach the same goal as us, and get 33 reviews, the same as we got in 10 months. And that bothers me, but not because of the luck of this other game, but to think how things could have been from the beginning without the problems with the initial team and without the bad influence of others. Well, that’s another story.

You understand that according to this point of view of mine, CoR still can not expand freely without me releasing a new build. Think of it as a fire to which fuel must be added to keep it alive. When CoR is finally in a stable state, I will be more than happy to let you choose which releases you prefer, weekly, bi-monthly and monthly. Having said that, I’m still not in a position to know how much new content I’ll be able to bring you as I have a new PC and 100% focus on the game, also because this all starts around the second half of February. That said guys, it’s finally time to explore new boundaries. There is more to seek...so go forth now and seek it. The girls and I thank you and wish you a fantastic and best continued journey in Champion of Realms.
