News From the Six Realms #39 - The Survey is Upon Us!

Hello everyone,

So last month was pretty decent, we had a nice bump and we got the release out on time as usual. This month has also started well, so hopefully that will continue.

The important thing I have to talk about today is the survey. It has been a year since the last one, even though it doesn't feel like it. We have some new questions on the 2019 edition, suggested by other members of the team. Like last year, I will give it a couple of weeks and then make a post comparing the public and backer results, but for now, you can fill out the survey here:

[DO NOT FILL THIS OUT IF YOU ARE A BACKER - You have a separate survey in the next post down.]

Survey 

In other news, work on the new release is well underway. I'm just waiting for the rest of the sketches from MDN and then I'll be sharing them with the backers as usual. Sommy is working on a narrative CG for the Rastedel arc, which you can see above, and it looks stunning as usual. Winter is once again focusing on Rastedel content, to move the narrative on, while Rein is trying to get his mechanics overhaul finished so we can start coding it all soon. We'll have some fae content from Phoenix, and some random event stuff for Valaska to help pad the release out though.

That is all for today. This month's release will be on the 31st, and we are very close to being done with the final public demo of Jessika's Curse, so I will be sharing that with everyone soon as well.

Something I think the survey lacked was a general comments section so here are some thoughts: The map should be zoomable since it's hard to keep track of where I've been to. Also I'd love for there to be artwork and story for the captured female royal knight that we meet after the Astarte Plains' Battle and for Nasim's "Alexia" . There is something to be said about Save the Princess and Damsel in Distress tropes. The plot revolves about saving Alexia; we (can) rescue Helayna, and Lady Delane; we protect (and can tell Alexia so) Liural; and we even got in all this trouble trying to save Jezera's 'daughter', and to me those interactions are very special and consistent with the Rowan I like to play. He is, for better or worse, a hero after all. So yeah. Being able to 'save' those two would be amazing and at the same time give more freedom of choice and be more consistent with the Rowan I'm trying to play. And even if in our play-through we are going for The Fall or Evil triumphs instead of Good prevails, that drive to save could be a drive to dominate. Just as Jezera has her girls Rowan can as well. I also had written quite a bit about items and skills/stats but the solution of getting rid of swappable items and reducing the amount skills is way better.

No problem. :) Thank you again for filling up the survey man. :)

Oh yeah I know; it's just that it was marked with an * so I couldn't skip it. And I get that a story needs male characters as well unless it is some harem and some of the interactions have been fun even if I'm not really interested in knowing more. I guess, regarding male npcs, that I just want the developers to focus on whoever is needed to move the story along. :)

J

It's a general querie, there is no need to answer things that doesn't interest you tbh. But yeah, characters are there to serve a purpose and there are other players that do enjoy the male characters.

Sommelier

I meant I'm not interested (in male npc's getting focused on (and many of the girls too for that matter; I guess I tend to be picky or have monogamous tendencies) :p but thanks ^^ I guess I'll play again and choose one

J

It means the writers will give it a focus in the future updates.

Sommelier

Also, the question "Which male castle NPC would you like to learn more about? "... I'm not sure I really want to learn more about any of them.

J

Personally, I would love for there to be more interaction with Helayna. Honestly, I don't know if it counts as a fetish but her blushing face is so adorable and... ^^

I actually enjoy the timed objectives. To be honest, it supplies a sense of realism. In wartime, you have to be quick when gathering/training your forces, as well as your information. Money goes as quick as you make it, the game makes you all the smarter if you can outsmart the time management of the tasks at hand. Oh, but I wish I could instigate fights in the Arena and Breeding in the Breeder's Pit.

Desiree Tiffany

Its a nice survey, I would like to add some additional points. I think you should make it more clear what the objective is, somethmes I just wander around aimless. I also don't really like the timed objectives. I didn't really mind the first objective to be timed but I hope the rest won't be.

We usually share the result of the findings once the duration is done just like last year.

Sommelier

are you going to share the results of the survey? :)

VN Star Wars +18 Game

Yep, I agree, more focus on Rowan needs to take place. Sex scenes are a plus.

Lightning747

I feel like more Rowan scenes are needed and more gay scenes in my opinion. One thing I really like about this visual novel is the choices but it definitely needs more Rowan in it and it doesn't have to be sex scenes.

VampyrΓ«anFox

As much as I want more H-scenes and NTR content, for the game to be more succesful in general I think more Rowan scenes are needed. Not necessarily sex scenes, just scenes to describe the effect that his life and his job and his choices are having on him and what it means for him and who he wants to be.

TheMagister

The corruption has to be spread over the course of the whole game and right now, even act 1 isn't completed yet. It wouldn't be fun if Rowan or Alexia would just become fully corrupted at the beginning of the game. It's more fun when you can witness the corruption progressing over the course of the whole game.

Reef

I filled out the survey and wrote a lot about my opinion of Andras and Jazeera. One things I didn't see was a general comment section so I was going to add it here. One of things I would like is more Rowan corruption. Give him a chance to really embrace chaos. Right now there are hints of it, especially as he looks forward to conquering rastael but it would be nice to have a corruption event similar to Alexia's. The other thing is what we like for Alexia. I think it would be great of Alexia and Haylena both got power in their own way. Alexia could be a powerful mage and Haylena could be a captain leading the orc armies for example. I really like Alexia's mage arc.

I do hope answering the survey is meaningful.

Thanks you for asking us for our input. I have enjoyed the journey since it was just pass the prologue. I am still waiting for Rowan to have more spine and start to turn the twins to his will.
