Update 2.2 Mission05 Added


Hello Internet Void,

Sorry that I barely made this mission 05 update in February. Originally I planned that this release would happen earlier in the month to give me a bigger buffer for the next mission planned for March but Covid and the death of a close family member took a lot out of me this February. Hopefully the next mission will be released in late March but if I don’t end up making that time frame it’s because this month really set me back! I didn’t have much time for playtesting so I apologize in advance for any errors. Please report them to the sticky thread and I will try to fix them ASAP. On to the good news:

Added Mission 05 Prepare for Siege

Added Beisel the Expert Duelist as a recruitable/romanceable companion. Added new Beisel bond sprite and skill trigger animation “Double Step”

Added Warfare combat system best 2 out of 3 rounds available at Brookhaven “Practice Grounds” Bonus loyalty rewarded to all units deployed across all waves if won.

Added new Dreams

Bonds and Quips have been Revised going forward:

  • Slightly altered plans with Bond conversation from original. Bond 5 and 6 will now be gated by Story Progression and no longer be correlated with the mission number. Bond 5 is currently planned to unlock AFTER the Battle of Brookhaven
  • In the meantime some more extended quips will be added so you can still chat with companions regularly. Quips will now unlock after every mission and will out number the total bond levels. More chances to increase loyalty! EX. Rather than after each mission new bond quips will unlock, now after each mission new quips will be unlocked.
  • Added quip 5 for Ruwin, Lor, Katnir, Samuel, Beisel- Hints will be regularly added to the thread for anyone who is having difficulty triggering them.

Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed a few display bugs in relation to pets/menu
  • Fixed some more random spelling and grammar errors
  • Bug fixed quip 2 with fire serpent pet show video recording —> Sorry for the bug

Thanks again & take care!

Hi Michi,

I'm rather impatient to get this story out myself! I can't stop thinking about mission 07 and I still have mission 06 to finish LOL. But thank you so much for your kind words~  I hope you enjoy this installment. Let me know if you run into any issues.

Hellooo ı think ı finished the new update ( ıf ıt doesnt include the war) ı tried my very best to get god's favor and ıts 14 now (yaay) and ı never thought Beileph would agree with crown :') well in the end he got his punishment (ı wasnt expecting that haha :D but ı also think he deserved this) ı really loved Beisel ! ( the fact that she actually giggled when ı said ı want my tea with milk but then admiring that she also drink her tea with milk and honey when she tried to drink beer was actually cute ^^ ) ı also managed to get 2 eggs while trying to get token material in sewers ( ı wanted to give everyone token for see their reactions and the way Katnir and Ruwin acted... Ouch do you have any idea how much ı struggled to get your materials?? >-<.. but ım happy for how Lor, Samuel and Beisel reacted when they got theirs especially Beisel haha :3 )  Although ım bit nervous about how the fight will happen just like the side game ı at least hope that this time ıt will be alot more different than when player chooses to defend Brookhaven send Queen and her soldiers to jail... well at least they cant be mad at me when they were the one who threw me first ^ ^; I am also curious about other characters (like errand trickster man or elite fire priest ı read one of the posts) ı guess we will be able to see them after the fight since ı doubt no noble would help transient one right now.. (ıt would be funny ıf errand trickster come back right after the fight because he couldnt get what he wanted and see what happened XDD ı guess he would run away immediately after seeing the scene? or perhaps he could try to get benefit from it... why does that guy feels like a rouge to me though he can use some tricks too so ıdk ıf he could be a mage... but he definetly feels liek rouge aaa why all rouges are.. bit weird :'). ) ah.. ı rambled too much overall ı loved all the conversations although mission 5 was bit short for me since ı literally went too many duels to gain loyalty so ı can chat with others XD only person who needed to reach bond level 4 was Beisel and ı actually managed to reach 134 loyalty point with Lor while doing it (LOL XD)... 

as for the gods ım actually very happy to see them talking with me! at first ı was confused when they said they are trying to ''improve'' the situation ( ı still have no idea what they meant by this but ı guess ı will learn later??) but second one was like as ıf they were motivating and cheering me haha (well perhaps that was because of my God's favor points ) when they said they are watching me with great interest ı kinda imagined all four different elemented person watching me above the clouds X3 (not all the time but lets say when we are like talking with others or fighting... being watched all time sounds..scary XD) though ı guess they dont look like human since they said they decided to use ''phone screen'' to communicate us and showing themself could... like damage our mentality??? ı cant remember much... but imaginin something sweet still wouldn't hurt hehe :3

again thank you for your all efforts ı think story goes very well and ım nervous about the fight but ı wont let crown to crush me ı have the power of quick save with me!!!! 

and ım really sorry for what happened there.. ı hope you are doing better now.. learning about someone's death from the family is surely great pain and also covid is really annoying and tiring virus... ı wish everything will get better for you soon! :)

Hi JustaOneGirl, thank you again for all of your feedback! I'm relieved to hear it sounds like you made it through the mission without any glaring bugs at least. I'm also super glad to hear that you enjoyed Beisel and the interactions in general! I'm sorry that Katnir and Ruwin were so ungrateful for your heart felt efforts, (they feel too guilty for taking gifts, have you ever known these kinds of people irl?) It's probably not helpful to know that the gift reactions are a bit randomized so I'm guessing you got the low roll on it XD;;; I try to add randomization to dialogue that I think will have repeativeness built in but maybe i should tweak that. And I think I will consider the material cost for crafting and make it a bit easier in the future.  And thank you for your sympathies for this past month. I am optimistic about the start of March. I am planning to enjoy the warming weather and getting out for a refreshing walk. Best wishes~

Thank you for your reply ! Well ı guess that explains it haha ı guess ı can understand ıf they are feeling guilty for the gift ı guess after hearing from Beisel that giving tokens makes people happy ı kinda wanted to see their happy reactions ;w; and ıt seems like ı was bit unlucky XD well ı didnt really see serious level bug but ı think ı got 2 little details about the game first one was when Lor was giving me a breakfast and started to talk about gods the choices literally appeared in front of his face XD ı took a screenshot of that too but ı guess ı forgot to load here >-< second one was the counting of remaining days to war suddenly stopped after ı finished all missions. after realizing that ı assumed war will come in mission 6 so ı doubt ıt was a bug.

What a beautiful atmosphere you are creating with this game! I discovered you through a YouTube tutorial which helped me to code a functionality of the game we are developing. I executed this game out of curiosity for your artwork and I can clearly see your outstanding potential straight away. Thank you for existing :)

Hi playmakina, Thanks so much for trying out my game and I'm glad that you found one of my Youtube videos helpful. I'm curious about what kind of functionality you are working on. This is using Ren'Py? Sorry for being nosy, I just like seeing what other people are doing with the engine lol. Best wishes for you and your project.

Hi coffeedripstudios! The functionality I am coding is similar to the "Making movement arrows" so it really helped me your explanation :D We are developing a visual novel using Ren'Py, still in a very early stage of the development. Just by looking at profiles like yours with many games already out is motivating me so much to keep working on our project :) I am posting our progress in https://www.playmakina.com (sorry it's only in Spanish right now :(, but I am translating it to English during this week and continue to post in both languages from now on). Thanks a lot for your reply!

I certainly admire the versatility of your talent, but I am increasingly asking myself the question - will I live until the end of at least one project? Talent requires some discipline all the same. I didn’t even start playing this game simply because I no longer see the point. Anyway, a dazzling new idea will appear soon and this one will be abandoned. It's a shame ...

Hi! If you're desperate to see the ending of a project, Coffee already has Villian's heart out if you're interested in an entirely complete game, as well as Soul Union with 2 routes entirely completed, which can be played from start <---> credits. I hope that helps! ^__^

I would not be worried if I didn’t like the projects. As for despair ... let's not exaggerate. Just a long experience of working together with creative people leads me to the idea that all these throwing rarely lead to logical conclusion. What about your tips - thanks!

Helloo although ı may sound optimistic ı believe this project will be completed fully even though ıt will take time to finish. Because after playing the second game ı think ı can assume that part of plot of the game is  finished and reamining parts looks like have clear path ( to me of course... And yea ı would be more than happy ıf game shows alot more than side game like other cities but ıts fine for me ıf not) plus ı think this game is pretty good without even being finished since ı really love the Characters. So playing this game to get new experiences than waiting is better choice. (Plus ıdk ıf ıt was only me but completing whole 4 missions took my at least 6-8 hour XD) (ı actually did this post for Malia but ıt ended up whole post....opps)

Fair enough! Admittedly I make these games for fun and there are times that I choose to move on rather than keep forcing something to work that isn't working for me anymore. I feel really connected with this project, so I also have high hopes of finishing it but I can't make promises. My first priorities in life will always be family, friends and pursuit of happiness. Best wishes.
