Content Poll 0.3.1 (Patreon)
Content
A new month, a new content poll!
I've just recountet the votes to make sure the result was really correct and some already stated on discord the result that the Dialogue and scene rework has won the poll for 0.3.0.
While I'm currently still working on the 2nd animation for Maui & Tia (that I couldn't finish in time) I will start with the rework as soon as it's done.
What is my goal for this rework: First I want to replace some old images (many of them in the intro) after that I will start a new playthrough and will rework game mechanics and dialogue that bothers me while doing that I will also add new corruption based dialogue when I feel it's missing or inconsistent. And then there is the addition of new scenes. I have already some ideas that I want to add, but it will of course also depend on what is possible within the month. This game has gotten quite large over the past year and I don't think I can rework everything that I might want to in the given time of one month. I will give you the option to vote for another rework at a later point when I feel it would be good for the game.
While doing all this I will make sure that old save files will still be compatible with the new version, still I hope that this rework will also give you a reason to start a new playthrough.
While it was a close one between Emily and the rework last month Emily got a headstart to all the others for 0.3.1. But after all every vote counts for the coming polls also. The results of previous polls and explanation to how the poll works can as always be found in the result sheet
I also want to add a new option to the poll to replace the rework:
Arianna & Verena: Verena got furious after Arianna returned home. She's been gone for days and Verena was worried. As a result she wants to finally begin to educate her into a fine woman. But now more than ever Arianna has other needs.. That if unfulfilled could spell disaster. There while Rick wonders why his best friend spends so much time with his sister.
(Implementation of the carpenter's house and new content around it for Arianna and Verena)
Other options of this poll:
Frisha(+21): After the recent events the new baron Giron has sent for the daughter of the baron of Kirlic to arrange a marriage for his son Dave. But on her way to Arenfield she disappears.. Only a skilled hunter may find her. But if Dave marrys her, how will this affect Frisha? Maybe it would be best for her to never arrive in Arenfield. (New area to the East of Arenfield and for Frisha a decision to make based on past events)
John & Bianca(+11): The king won't pay him for his work but still demands more of it for his troops. Without warning his daughter returns from Parakis. But she has problems of her own and wanted to seek refuge at her fathers house. In addition to that the mine has been overrun, making it impossible to get new ore from within. Bianca will finally take you to her master. (Is connected to the main storyline and the conflict at the frontline)
Emily(+104): Now that Marcus is dead there is no more financial support for her. Mira is doing her best but it's not enough. The bandits' attacks have further damaged her battered house. And now Giron is coming to collect the tax.. Will you help and make the necessary repairs on the house or will you leave her to her fate? (Take a central role in Emily's life. Reworks to her house and new content around it for her and her daughters, this is also needed for me to implement a pregnancy system in the future)
Lyvia & Imawyn(+60): Imawyn's imprisonment has given way for a new group of bandits who have taken over the region. To find a solution for this you group up with Lyvia to fight them back. Maybe Imawyn is the key to this, you could release her and take over her old group of bandits.
Mira(+13): It is time, Mira has completed her studies and is ready for the initiation ritual. A noble fighter who wants to become a paladin of Uldar will participate in the ritual. For this they have to enter the catacombs below the church. But what should be a simple test goes terribly wrong.
Tia(+18): Now that the threat to Rumah has been dealt with Tia returns home to her mother Katherin. She is eager to get to know her new son in law while Tia spends some time in Arenfield. (Rework of Katherin's character, Addition of some missing scenes to Rumah and new content with Tia/Katherin around Arenfield)
Penny+10: Henry finally recovers, bringing news from the frontline and trying to find back into his life in Arenfield. He's meeting his old friend Dave and also visiting the smithy in hope of getting back his position as the smith's apprentice. For Penny all of this leads to a decision she has to make. (Completing what I've started with Penny's storyline, opening up for a future quest to reclaim her lost farmland)
Ophilia+8: While travelling back to Kirlic her small caravan, now much slower because it is only pulled by a donkey, gets ambushed. By pure luck she makes it back to Arenfield now with everything lost she tries to find a way back to Kirlic, but what will her father say now that she failed so bitterly? (Needed for Kate's future quest to travel to Kirlic)
