So, after the release (and the hotfixes) I decided to take a long weekend off. It's nice to stop completely for a couple of days in a row. I still did some bugfixing (I always try to deal with those as soon as a report hits, to avoid issues piling up), but no game-crippling issues so far, which means they might have to wait until the next update.
For this week's plan, I am going to work on a quest that will have you pick a side at the end, so we can get some interplay between the various factions (and yourself). I think I'll have the two guilds, and another 2-3 factions involved (the league of merchants, the Zanti family, and the vampires). If you are mind-controlled by any of the factions, you will of course be unable to pick anyone else to support. This quest will revolve around securing a certain artefact, and they all have their different reasons to want to secure it. So far, I did the first map and some basic work on the NPCs that will be involved in the quest.
I already know how I want it to end, but I am wondering how I should have the various factions appear/intereact during the quest (again, I have a few ideas, but it's about picking what works best for the situation). It should be interesting for sure, especially how some choices and consequences will play out. My only worry is how big of a map I'll need for the main area, since too many factions would need representatives as well. But that's for me to worry about, not you guys. XD
In case I forgot to mention it, the poll results had me commission art for becoming Sonya's pet (I picked the first scene on the "throne", which I think is very appropriate for this), and I'll also commission something for the model job, so congratulations to anyone who voted for these two.
Other content I'll work on for the next month is Kira (adding more dates with her, and possibly another quest for the league), and if I involve the vampires in the first quest, I might also expand on them (I already have some plans for them). Then it's a matter of figuring out how much time I have left, I assume another quest or more scenes for one of the unfinished jobs might be on the table, depending on how tight my timetable is.
Anyway, that's it for today, just let me know if you have questions or suggestions. Otherwise, see you next week! ^_^
Was curious where you find Baldur? Is he in the hometown or elsewhere? Thanks. ^^
ReplyDeleteYou can find him in the mages guild, after you see his scene with Lanessa (she chills out in the bathhouse at night, instead).
DeleteAlright, in chapter 3's story right? Also, plan to do any more with disguise/transform into someone else spell? ^^
ReplyDeleteYes, I plan to use these transformations in other quests, as well as add new people you can change into.
DeleteOne more thing. Is there any way to become Baldur/Lanessa after talking with Kendar?
ReplyDeleteNot for now, since you need a "goal" to transform into someone else (coding all possible changes in the normal open world would be too difficult to manage), but I'll add more uses in the future.
