HO HO HO-ver! (Patreon)

Christmas is good, but working on eroge is better!

Today I've resumed working on the next build, fixing everything you guys kindly report into our "bug-reports" channels. I want to make the new build as clean as possible, as soon as possible, since there's way too much already we're going to work on starting January:

• v0.20

Of course. Oni Princess will reach Stable builds, and we'll be able to call her addition dealt with!

If you didn't play any of her Beta builds, you're in for a ride!

• 19th Reign poll

See the 2 remaining "locks"? Yep, just 2 Reigns left. Feels both good and bad at the same time. Contrasting feels.

The 19th and 20th Reign will both be located in the Kingdom Below, the underground map. 

One will be considered a "Souther Reign", meaning it will have some way of communicating/sending troops to other Southern Reigns (just like Finhead Princess has Hammerhead Port to connect her Reign to the Northern Reigns).

The other one will instead go with the Extra ones (Mouse/Mermaid/Bird), and it will get unique war mechanics and its unique place in the Kingdom's unstable balance.

• Bye-bye Early Access

It was originally planned to happen way before this point, but as soon as I've begun working on Oni I felt like the Kingdom wouldn't be as good without her. Also, the big empty space on the western side of the Southern Kingdom bothered me, the world map didn't feel complete without the Colosseum. 

After leaving Early Access, the development of Princess & Conquest will continue as normal on our crowdfunding platforms, while whoever bought the game on Steam/Itch/... will get the content we work on from that point onward in the form of free updates.

• Extras

Being never 100% satisfied with what we bring to the table is my thing. The Kingdom can allocate an endless amount of characters and it's only right that I pay the toll for that.

The sweet Candy Princess I'm working on is the most fun I've had in a long time. She goes pew pew and her Dodge skill is the same as Kobold but:

• plays a cute explosion where she stands (like she's shooting to the ground to jump away)
• flips her direction on 180°, allowing her to keep shooting the same enemy she just hopped through
• uses Swirlies as ammunition and to Dodge, allowing her to shoot and jump around endlessly as long as you have sweet sweet candies!

For all the reasons above, better get shit done before New Year's💀
