News From the Six Realms #69 - DUDES! (Patreon)

Hello everyone,

Merry Christmas, Hanukkah or happy whatever you celebrate at this time of year. 2021 has been another tough one for a lot of people, with Covid still looking like it isn't going anywhere, so I'm going to keep this short, and write a more thorough news post in the new year.

First up though, the game is currently 25% off in the Steam Winter Sale, so if you haven't picked it up yet, you can get a discount until January 5th. You can grab it here. 

So yeah, tough year. I think we've done pretty well when it comes to making progress on the game though. We've hired two new writers which have helped finish off some of the NPC arcs, completed the majority of a well-received mechanics overhaul,  added over 100 new CG, as well as even more reworked ones, improved a large amount of outdated content, and expanded the soundtrack. All in all a lot of solid progress toward hopefully finishing the first act by the end of next year. 

As always, work on the next release is well underway. We've got more of the Liurial arc coming from Winter, and Cla-Min from Wildquill, Hooky is still bashing away at the intro rework, and Rein is working on the next Alexia fertility event. Art wise, everything is going well; all the sketches are done, and a number of pieces have been finalized (including the one above) and will be shared with the backers over the next few days. Dragoon has been busy working on adding the last of Rein's new mechanics and improving the map.

That's all for today. I'm going to put the poll up after this, so if you have been waiting for that, wait no longer. The next release will be, as usual, the last weekend of January, which this time is the 30th. 

One final thing - I'd like to thank everyone once again for supporting the game, whether it is pledging, buying it on steam, or just spreading the word. We are all trying hard to give you guys a game worthy of that, which you'll love, and we couldn't do it without you. It doesn't seem that long ago it was just me working on the game by myself, and I never imagined we would get here, but here we are, and hopefully this is just the first of many great adult games to come. Take care of yourselves and each other over the holidays, and I will see you all in the new year.

Lord A.
