News From the Six Realms #36 - Valentine's Day Edition

Added 2019-02-11 12:13:41 +0000 UTC

Hello everyone,

Well, it's a new month, so you know what that means - a new release. January's went out on time without a hitch as usual, so now we are progressing well with February's backer version. We are planning to make it available to backers on the last Thursday of the month, which this time falls on the 28th.

The main focus for this month is continuing the Rastedel plot line. I already have a chunk of Rastedel content from Winter that didn't quite make it in last month, and he will be writing some more, alongside working on Shayna's arc, and if he has time, pumping out some general events for the castle. Rein is currently working on something we have been planning for a while, a character that will help scratch the male-to-female TF itch, with some pretty bizarre transformations later on if Rowan commits the resources to his research. You can see his appearance sprite, already finished by Keidi this month, above, and our backers will be meeting him in the next release. I'm also hoping to have some new fae content from Phoenix as well.

On the art side, I have all the rough sketches now from MDN, and have been sharing these with the backers. He is currently working on turning two of them into full colour pieces, and the rest into line art, as we have recently discussed in the decision to move to 3 finished CGs and 6 line art ones. Sommy has finished 2 of his CGs, and is currently working on his last one (the fully rendered piece), as well as a new Rastedel background.

That is pretty much it for today. I am still looking to hire someone with Ren'Py / Python experience to help out with the more technical issues, but I have managed to figure out the throne room, and have made it so you can check the current goals there, as some people have been requesting. Hopefully I'll find someone soon, and then we can work on improving other gameplay aspects, but for now, we will continue as always.

An early happy Valentine's Day to you all, and if you have a sweetie, you might want to keep an eye out for large buff red men with tattoos paying them a visit. ;)
