January 31 Update (Patreon)

Though I've had to focus on other projects, I've managed to get an okay amount done on the upcoming update.

This will be a big one... perhaps too big. I'll make a $10 thread later for people to vote on exactly how this should proceed. Ardford is another city as large as Stineford or Ari-Yhilina, so there are a ton of maps, to be filled with lots of events, investments, and so on. Plus, you know, the plot.

I'm doing something fairly complex with this conference. Complex enough that the barrier I'm running into isn't what I can envision or what I can implement, but what I can make fun to play. Because there are reasons why most RPGs aren't all about meetings. XD

This whole stretch of the game is focused on consequences coming together. You saw it in Simon's route, you got your economic results last update, and the next section will be about the results of many of your decisions (though there will be more new decisions playing a large role as well). The section after this, involving the Doomed King plan, will also be heavy on consequences.

After this sequence, however, the game will ease off on this for a while as the plot turns to less interwoven events. So don't worry that the complexity will just keep ramping up - though I do hope everyone enjoys it!
