Strive Conquest next release details (Patreon)
Content
Hello everyone! I've been planning to make a release for some time but as usual I've got stuck in a row of adding new features. And given there will be considerable data changes I want add as many things before next release as possible, to make version saves more durable for future updates. I plan to make a new release in a week or two and since there's been no other mentions, I've decided to tell a bit about what's happening.
Numen Introduction
Next update will be adding first batch of events tied to gods and religion. There's one small sidequest with some exposition and a couple of random dungeon events which will allow player to find an deity altar to offer an item or a character to a shrine for varying results. Offering correct item will usually net a reward. There's also an option to demolish the shrine for materials but this will come with a risk of a curse.
Reputation shops and class unlock
Some of the classes are now locked behind quests and purchases. Many of them will be purchasable from guilds for reputation points. Those reputations points can also be used for some rare consumables (like Writ of exemption and oblivion potion) and materials.
Obedience system revamp
We are planning some chances to correct existing system. Basically, the issue is that it's too simple and makes social classes unneeded quickly. To sum it up, the new system will only let a few characters obtain infinite obedience, while others will have to be checked once in a while. We will be rebalancing some social skills and will try to make it feeling not too tedious and natural.
Other notable things:
- Sex traits will be hidden and will have to be learned for new characters
- Story dialogue seduction checks will now be based on master's sex factor instead of charm factor
- A couple new illustrations at some points
- Many little balance changes
Once we are done with this update I plan to move to story expansion. It will be featuring further main story progression, civil war and more sidequests, which will be the main focus in october.
