The family, the Update and some ideas.
Added 2016-12-23 11:00:52 +0000 UTCHey guys! How is everyone? This is a PNG with an appropriated(more or less) size of everyone of "these guys", I felt like posting it since the sprites and CGs sometimes don't get very clear on that...
The update: Well, I am writting a lot of dialogues and creating new maps... I will not lie, I COULD post an update day 5, but It would have no CGs end no new artwork, something that I believe it's necessary, since Diana's will change her hair and clothes. Aside from that, I am planning EXACLY what H-scenes can happen, how much they will cost, new facesets, etc etc... And I believe I can do all that, but I need "more time" than a month, at least for now, since I am not getting enough return. (Yes, Stalker is whinning about money again)
So, what's the plan? I believe I can get a good piece of the chapter 1 done in february... With new HCGs, new scenes, new skills, new quests, new itens and new party members. Sorry guys, I wanted to get stuff done more quickly, but I am doing what I can.
Some ideas: So, in the other post I finally come to a decision to adjust the pledge system, but them I thought... "What if people simply don't like the game"? ... Well, it's true that I didn't include most of the tropes or H-mechanics like, minding what you say or do to get more "approval" to "in a near future" get to the sexpart... Or minigames or... Making sex more casual? Well, I don't know, It really felt out of a place sometimes.
Then I got and idea. I have another stories and characters in "my pocket" and I believe that I could make (a demo, at least) of a side game.
"Damn it, it will take EVEN MORE TIME for you to advance on the story of RQ". Well that's true, but only to a degree. The game I planned will be called "Iron Hill INN" and would not get NEARLY the complexity of content of RQ (Not that I'm planning to do it poorly), but I think thet the H-content and situations would be more of the "overall" approval . Now, HOW I would do it, side by side with Rinet's Quest, is still up for debate.
So, what you guys think?

I saw no one asking about the missing tunnel entrance and thought that it's probably an issue only on my PC. The plugin for the doodads looked very promising, strange to see it causing issues. Anyways, enjoy the holidays, mate. The fix can wait :)

2016-12-25 05:03:09 +0000 UTCBloody hell, that's why I haven't found it. I have some graphics missing: <a href="http://imgur.com/a/Ev0DI" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://imgur.com/a/Ev0DI</a> I noticed some invisible wall there, but I thought it;s the same as those you brake to reach the mirror ghost. Could it be because I'm using saves from v0.1?

2016-12-24 21:00:41 +0000 UTCIn the scene where there is the tomb (and the ghosts), cross the bridge to the left, then step to left, down, left, left, left and up. There Rhaelo will say something if you click it... Keep going left and you will see an skeleton, click on it. Go to the little forge (Where Rhaelo spoke) and acess the itens, then weapons, then upgrades and select the cold iron from there. (Careful, you cannot remove it once you upgraded) PS: In the shop in Yarden, there was an "upgrade guy" and NPCs who sold them...

2016-12-24 19:26:07 +0000 UTCI've completely missed that. When does it happen? In the secret tunnel, where the ghosts are? I even replayed that part but still no talk about upgrades. And how does it work, from the menu?

2016-12-24 18:54:02 +0000 UTCHe appears after Alo, in Goldberts cutscene. He doesn't say anything. ---- ghost weakness---- Oh well, in the tomb, Rhaelo says that he can upgrade or do some repairs to the weapons(found that?) Near that, there is a corpse that when interacted with, Diana says "Just some ingot". This is a cold Iron ingot. Weapons forged from cold/pure iron (no carbon) do A LOT damage in ghosts. You can put it on Zack, Diana or even Tarniss weapons. (You can strap use on o metal armor too, but is not as good).

2016-12-24 16:23:03 +0000 UTCAh, so he's a special guy. He looked different than the rest. Have we seen him so far? I don't seem to remember him. ---- SPOILERS ---- Nope, couldn't find it. I tried few times, but with no luck. Warp attacks, normal attacks, even hitting my own guys with the Disrupt... nothing. No one is asking, so I guess it's just me who can't find it.

2016-12-23 22:55:26 +0000 UTCOnly Droxsal is this big, the "normal" giants must be up to his shoulder, more or less. Sorry about your christmas, but the situation is dire for me, really. 1. Yeah, it would be a bummer. At least there will be a lot of them done... (I will not spoil the scenes of the update, like I did in the past, but there will be a good ammount of them). 2. H-scene sidequest is the way I am rolling, the problem is the quantity of text and content that theoretically would make the scene acceptable (in my standarts). Hahaha, no, I would never do something silly like that. While Diana is not "the sharpest knife in the drawer" she is really gutsy. Blackmailing Diana... Wouldn't work out. For everyone. 3. A friend of mine told me that, I should do just a demo with all characters and just one scene. Then put the game as a milestone perhaps... If I got, let's say, 1000$, then I could start doing together with RQ... But like I said, It's still a idea only. PS: Not a sequel or a prequel, but it's in Largo, so it ties in. PS2: Found the ghost weakness? : P Thanks for the feedback and happy holidays as well!

2016-12-23 17:37:33 +0000 UTCI like the image, it gives you a perspective of how imposing the Frost Giants really are. They look smaller in the game. The lion's still my favorite. Sure, I had to broke his tooth, but I like how he acted at the end of the last update. I love villains with a sense of honor, who aren't being assholes just because they're evil. Tho' an asshole to hate here and there is always welcomed (I'm looking at you emo guy) :) The rest is a bad news, you're ruining my Christmas, mate... :) 1. An update without the CG is not to my liking. I'm not one to play unfinished games to begin with, but I've come to accept the episodic approach, especially for this type of small, fun games. But playing unfinished quests and scenes, and having to replay a section later to see all of it, is a no go for me. 2. About the H-content - I'm at a loss as well. On one side - I like the idea of an adventure game with sex elements. A game where the sex comes in between the adventure, instead of being the focus of the whole game. On another - your game does need more sex scenes. In a form of a side quests, or activities, or the plot could slow down for a little to make room for some steamy encounters... One thing I know - I would hate to see Diana working as a waitress, groped by the patrons, asked to grab a bottle from the top shelf by the bartender, and then blackmailed by her boss. The things we see in 99% of the hentai games out there. Not sure I'm helping you reach a decision, am I? :) 3. Another game? Not a fan of this solution either. You're developing the game on your own, with one artist, who doesn't seem like the fastest guy in the world. The current progress is slow as it is, without adding another project in the mix. Unless it's somehow integrated with the RQ. Like a prequel, or parallel story... Say the origins of that evil lady Scarlett, and how she ended up with such douche of a son :P I don't know... very helpful this third point as well :) Anyways. Have a happy holidays, stay safe and keep us posted.
