DiCK 0.1.1e debug build available now! (Patreon)
Content
For now here is the link , but before the changelog we want to talk about the future of DiCK.
So, as you guys have realized by now, some things like the potions are still broken, while we haven't added really much mechanics or other type of content than followers, so let me explain how we are going to develope DiCK for the next 2 years roughly:
First, we want to finish the written content of Chapter 1, which will consist on 2 routes (which is order vs chaos, with the theme of corruption too) and with 6 endings, each one shaping your city in a different way, and a total of 14 followers. Once we finish the quests and plot of those 14 followers, we will start to work on everything related to the mechanics of the game: Combat, management, breeding, slavery, training, etc. For now, you can think of DiCK more like a VN, since the game elements are not there yet.
We are doing this because if we try to work both on writing and mechanics at the same time the updates end up being more dry (as it was in january), and also because some of the places require followers to function, like the brothel, or others are shaped by the story, like the church, so is better to have everything in place and then add the mechs on top of it.
Right now we have already 6 followers complete (including Virgil, and Celia in a couple of days). We think it will probably take us 8 months to finish them all (around 1 per month).
In raw numbers, the writer has been writing around 50k words per month, while I do around 38k (both Itzel and Virgil are 38k long), which is good enough for a current follower, but future ones are going to be more lengthy because of how the story breaks up in two either to the corrupt or the pure side, to the point we will pretty much write them twice.
As a last note I want to apologize because we dont have the portraits for the new followers, but I promise I will do them soon after the next update, but still hope you guys enjoy the reading!
Changelog:
-Continued the story of Vivica, with quests about magic (magic not added yet tho)
-Added the entire questline of Virgil, with around 38k words in it. Virgil has two routes, depending on which church you selected with Itzel. You can play his pure route if you build the church to Cornelia, and for his corrupt route build the church of Servilia instead, hope you guys like it!
