boss battle in the crypt with a giant mummy. When it appears I show it "in the face" of player with a scary sound. I like the final result

almost finished this side-quest. The Baneslayer is probably the weapon with highest damage bonus of the game

for the Lich King!!! a "nice" encounter you'll find following a sidequest with Larik and Nuala.

hehe while reading this I was thinking "Sorry Larik but I'm just testing your scenes. I'd rather spend my day talking with Nuala than you!"

haha, I must say that this game is pushing all the limits of the framework. Normally I wasn't even sure it was possible, but works: one of the two Larik loyalty bonuses is that beside protecting an ally, when an enemy attacks him, Larik also counter-attack the enemy. So in summary guard+counter attack all in one (as long as the Guard is active of course).
It's quite powerful, of course works only if the enemies attack the guarded target, and the enemies still do damage to Larik BEFORE he counter-attack, but I think it's well balanced and interesting.
Now coding his other bonus skill and then this path is done as well

today got some missing bgs for Kusho's quest, so I added it. Doing Vaeril quest now, so both elves are done at least!

one of the possible rewards for Vaeril's sidequest (I like that basically in all the sidequests you can have two different outcomes/rewards). It's a consumable but it's the ultimate healing item. Besides, maybe there's a way to get more...

got this new background, so Vaeril's route is now officially finished (well the CGs are still to be colored but I put the lineart placeholders for now)

Added a small sidequest to Nuala's path since was too short compared to the others (already broke the 200k words barrier BTW...

).
Those who plays Hearthstone probabl know where I got inspiration for the orc leader name

Ho-zor!

Well, last year's games were all under 200k except PSCD. But for the RPG it's hard. In any case if there are more than 4 romanceable characters it's very hard to have less than 200k words, so that each character has a good amount of romance scenes.
In this case I have added several myself which were edited by the writer later, simply because I was 100% sure that with the original amount players would have complained saying that there were too few romance scenes

this is the other possible route for Nuala's sidequest I added. First path is diplomatic, second... it's more "let's kill them all"
(All the leaders, not the whole orc army!).
This battle is very tough, even in normal level I can't beat it haha. On the other hand, since it's optional, I'll probably keep as it is (you can lose and not get game over).

tough optional battle but with great loot. Lighting-casting earrings it's a top item!

Playing the alpha and I'm loving it! I like how the social skills act variety to the fights plus having to choose between who to leave behind adds depth to the story. So, awesome job!

Thanks, that alpha is really outdated now, in particular for the combat, with the change I did with the "breaking defense" battles now are quite different. I hope to be able to put up a new alpha next month

Doing some jealousy scenes today. I've done them thousand times, but they're always fun

Here player is saying to Vaeril "I need to spend time with other party members to get to know them better bla bla" and he replies with that...

Hehe that only happens if you sleep with her and some other people at same time

I tested the new system and seems to work. I like that, for the first time in my games, the romance CG isnt' the final one, but there's some extra scenes. I'll also be able to add the "casanova" achievement too!

You're welcome! I was hoping it would let us play all the way to the end but I can understand why you wouldn't want to make the entire game accessible at this point.
Also uh oh! Makes me wonder what Leena and the nagas' jealously scenes look like!

I haven't done Leena but could be similar to Nuala. Or maybe not. The nagas jealousy is... particular
