Strive Sequel: Next update details (Patreon)

Hello everyone, I hope you are doing good despite all the commotion. At first I was planning to make a new release sooner, but as I was working on next content update, I realized that I wanna make it a lot more meaningful. So I'll go a bit into story progress which will be happening in next update, and showcase some of the stuff. Minor spoilers ahead.

As you know, the main story is focused on you, the player, who becomes a land owner at Aliron city, the capital of inherently human-dominated lands. The main power of the city is held between 4 Guilds-establishments you can already observe in the game. Your initial move is to introduce yourself to them and start making profits from their contracts. The next goal will present itself as you get enough recognition with one of the guilds: you will be proposed to elect for Mayor. After earning enough reputation, you will be presented with a few sidequests to make each guild support you (with at least 3 required to progress). Those sidequests I aim to present with multiple options to complete, so your build might also play some role. Your factors will allow you to use some shortcuts or persuasions in dialogues. 

Meanwhile, some of the guild readers have received their art:

Amelia, Servants leader 

Fighters Leader

More coming soon

After some considerations, the main city backgrounds will receive animations

The new repeatable quests will allow to turn in slaves
The mod system will be getting an example and a small guide to work with
The new item will allow to promote slaves to peons

The planned update content will be ending on the moment when you get 3 of 4 guilds support and ready to go into next phase which will feature some unpredictable events (to not spoil more), so once we finish most of it, there shall be a really I could nearly deem as 'alpha' stage. Obviously, there's also some minor changes and lots of bugfixes I'm not going to mention here. 

For now that's about all I wanted to say. Thank you for your attention and let me know what you think.
