RPGM A Struggle with Sin [v0.6.1.5] [Chyos]

[Apartment817]

new content poll news anybody 0.6.3.0 ????

It's still open for another 68 days. (Says something about Chyos's idea of how long v0.6.2.0 will take).





My understanding of it, and I could very well be wrong is that the bar graph part of it doesn't include the past vote numbers. It is just the current vote in graph form.

So Julia started with 421 votes and has gained 90 votes (21.7% of 413 votes cast) bringing her to 511 so far.

Tia started with 376 and has gained 128 (30.9% of 413) bringing her to 504.

The total number of votes in the polls listed have been 552, 574, 591, 637, 639 and 567. So with 413 votes in so far 64% to 75% of the votes have already been cast.

Sophie or Umah would need almost every single remaining vote to catch Julia or Tia, which won't happen, so it is going to be close, but it will definitely be Tia or Julia. And whichever one loses will win the following vote because they will already have close to the total amount of votes cast each time around.

The silver lining? It's her pregnancy update, hopefully meaning an end to her story.

At The Gates

Good afternoon,
It’s Friday again, which means it’s time to talk about the past week and what I’ve managed to get done.
As I mentioned last Friday, most of my time this week went into working on the maps for Kirlic. Right now, I’m focusing on three main areas: the city entrance, the central district, and the inn. The entrance is more or less complete aside from a few small details, and the central area is mostly done as well, though it still needs some visual polish, especially around the streets, so I can’t really show it just yet. My goal is to give the impression of a larger city this time, meaning more buildings overall, but unlike Arenfield, not all of them will be relevant or accessible in the story.
Work on the inn is still in the concept phase. I’ve already set up some of the room structures and a rough layout, but the detailed design work hasn’t been done yet.
That brings me to my goals for next week: characters. Once the map work is wrapped up, I plan to start creating new characters: new guards as well as ordinary townsfolk, to make the city feel more alive. Then, of course, there are also the characters who will play important roles in future updates. Especially for the female ones, I’ll need to design and create fitting new models.
Aside from that, I’ve also been thinking about how I want to continue building the main story. After reading Marcus’s letter, I realized there’s currently no follow-up quest where the MC considers traveling to Kirlic to meet the contact mentioned in the letter, Renold. I’ll be adding that in right after the conversation with Mira, where she decides to become a priestess.
For existing save files, this quest will automatically trigger when entering Arenfield. It might feel a little odd for the MC to suddenly have that thought now, but I think that’s still better than having players wonder where to find the quest. It will also be possible to travel to Kirlic on foot (for those who don’t yet own a horse), and I plan to include the chance of being ambushed on the road, something I originally wanted to do for Kate’s update but had to cut due to time constraints.
I’m still figuring out how exactly I want to handle the quest that allows entry to the city. One idea is to separate Bjorn’s quest from Kate’s storyline so that it can start independently. Alternatively, I could come up with a different way of gaining access to Kirlic. I haven’t made a final decision yet, but I’ll keep thinking it through. In any case, the player will ultimately need to be recognized as a legitimate visitor to the city, which means a follow-up quest will be required. If you have any cool ideas about what this quest could look like, you can send them directly to me and I will take them into consideration.

For today I'll continue a little longer with the city map and hopefully finish it.
That is all for now, and I wish you all a nice weekend!

I like Tias pregnancy story but I find it sad that Mira will probably wait at the sidelines for the next few updates... perhaps late 2026

 

[Mirso]

It's already out for Mayor since more than a week.

yeah but when will it come for public?

I think if MC took the Baron's daughter with him and turned the tables on Gorion and took a good position there that would put him in the middle of events and be able to access every event separately.

Would entering Kirlic count as chapter 2?

Dear Mr. Chyos it is obvious. MC will enter Kirlic as a brothel manager)) He has more than enough livestock at his disposal xD.
As for new characters, let the patrons vote for the appearance. I'm sure they need more 50+ milfs with half-screen tits

Wow, that render reminds me of early 2000 RPG games. It looks beautiful.

Looking for a way into the city reminds me of Gothic 2, which had a similar quest in the early stages. In order to get into the city, you had to become an apprentice for the local smith, hunter or trader(?). Can't remember what the third trade was, maybe a thief. Or you could bribe the guards but it was hard getting the amount they wanted. Or, my favorite since it got you extra XP and some reactions from the NPC's, climb the mountain in order to jump the wall into the city.

With how many people have quests in Kirlic, I'm sure that several options can be added over time. Really looking forward to see how the game will evolve.

who won this poll?

On the way to Kirlic

Good afternoon,
There are a few topics I'd like to talk about today, starting with the finally finished bonus scene, then about my plans for the coming update and also about the next content poll.
Let’s start with how glad I am to finally have Katherin’s scene finished. I had originally hoped to be done by Tuesday evening, but fixing all the bugs ended up taking the entire Wednesday as well. I already mentioned this on Discord, but I don’t plan to add any more characters to the campfire scene. For the ones already there, I’m happy to add more interactions in the future, but no new faces, there’s simply no room left in the frame. Even now, it was impossible to have Katherin and Hiba on screen together, so I had to get a bit creative to make it work. Overall, this has been the most complex bonus scene so far, even without counting the crash incident. I’m really happy it’s done, and that it also kind of served as groundwork for Tia’s upcoming update, but it definitely ended up being bigger than I intended. That’s mostly on me of course, if I had shortened or cut some parts, I would’ve been finished a lot sooner.
Now, moving on to the next update, one I’ve been looking forward to for quite some time. Honestly, I was hoping to start working on it much earlier, even last year. I want to talk a bit about my goals for it, since not everyone may have seen my messages on Discord.
The main focus will be on the MC’s storyline. As you might remember, you found Marcus’ letter in the basement of his house, pointing toward an investigation in Kirlic. That’s where the main story focus will be. Naturally, that means I’ll need to create the city itself, an inn, and a few smaller surrounding locations. I’ve already started roughing out the layout for the city and will keep refining it over the coming week. If things go well, I might be able to show a preview image next week.
I’ll probably split the city across multiple maps and expand it in later updates. There will also be a small quest required to unlock access to the city and the journey there.
Then of course, there will be new NPCs, which means creating new models for them. I won’t be introducing all the new characters at once, that would simply be too much for 0.6.2.0. As for scenes, I’ll be working on ones focused on the group members, meaning Tia, Lyvia, and Bianca, maybe even someone new, we’ll see. The idea is that the animations would then also work to invite them into the MC's house, we will see if that works out or turns out too much work.

Now about the next content poll. Since the work on the 0.6.2.0 update has now started I want to also launch the next content poll in the coming week. And since Kirlic will then be implemtend I can finally introduce options that are related to it. In the past I made prevotes about what option will be added to the poll on discord, today I want to do it here so that everyone has access to it:

Liandra: Depending on your route, you’ll travel to Kirlic to meet her father. In the end, this will lead to her returning there one way or another, either as Dave’s wife or not. I’ll be implementing the Baron’s villa in Kirlic along with his household.
Melissa: She’s in open conflict with the Crow. Depending on the route, she might even have been kidnapped and will need to be rescued. Her storyline will revolve around the brothel in Kirlic.
Sabrina: Ever since she became Gwen’s apprentice, she’s been driven by thoughts of revenge. When she suddenly disappears, it’s clear where she’s gone, to Kirlic’s university to settle the score with her former headmaster. I’ll be adding the university to Kirlic, along with a few new students there.
Frisha: It’s time for Frisha to finally get married. Depending on the route, that might not just be the MC’s intention but also Giron’s (he couldn't have Emily, now he wants her daughter). The focus here will be on deciding the future of Arenfield and who will be in charge moving forward.
Kate & Claire: Preparations for smuggling into Kirlic are complete, and it’s time to uncover what Kate’s father was hiding. Depending on earlier choices, this could lead to a confrontation with her father’s associates. One of the other key goals for this update is Kate’s wedding with the MC and a completion of her storyline.

Ophilia: It’s time to investigate the disappearance of her father in Kirlic. Did he go into hiding, or was he murdered? The goal will be to follow the trail and uncover the mystery behind his disappearance. Will also lead to more content for her around the inn in Arenfield.
Unlike the usual content polls, there can only be one winner this time, and the votes won’t be carried over for the next pre-vote. I’ll keep this poll open over the weekend, and early next week I’ll launch the next content poll adding the option that won (votes on patreon and Subscribestar will be counted together).

That is all for now, thank you all for reading (was a lot of text this time)
And I wish you all a nice weekend!

 

[hiroyto]

yeah but when will it come for public?

Only if a Mayor leaks it, sadly locked at the $10 tier

 

[Lupiscanis]

who won this poll?

Julia in the lead at the moment and likely the winner - next closest option (Tia) would need 45 votes without any votes for Julia.

Tia currently has 27, Julia has 28.

 

[harem.king]

The silver lining? It's her pregnancy update, hopefully meaning an end to her story.
(Barring any potential bonus scene and Chyos caving to pressure for more)

there will never be an end for Tia updates
Tia updates are what the customers want.

ahhhh, ty i thought it was a different poll

 

[Apartment817]

It's strange to me how some distort reality when polls don't end the way they want them to.

Tia entered the poll June 2024, she placed third in that polls vote. Of the seven other entries in that poll, three others (Arianna, Bianca & Gavina, and Kirlic) have already won. If Julia wins this time around four of the seven won before Tia did.

Imawyn and Umah definitely aren't my favorite characters so no upset for me there. Sophie has so little content it's not surprising that voters are more connected to other LI's than her.

Tia hasn't got more updates than others, and she doesn't win all the time.



The way the polling works pretty much guarantees a window of time until they win. Tia isn't leapfrogging over other choices.

Umah, Imawyn and Sophie always get under 10%, Tia lost to everyone else on this list.

 

[Apartment817]

We need to get a Mira army together

This is only the second poll with this entry, she was the new entry in the last poll in May. She isn't going to win for a few more, the weighted past* works heavily against new entries.


* I think the weight polling is the best way to do it, though it only gives slight control to subscribers, the majority of the control is in the order that entries are introduced.

** though new entries are controlled by pre-votes of subscribers.

 

[Lupiscanis]

there will never be an end for Tia updates
Tia updates are what the customers want.

Except... there will be an end, since the pregnancy update is (according to the developer) the final major update for each character. Kate was an exception as it was a test for how he wanted to develop it, but as you can see from Emily, her storyline is mostly played out now. Any further updates will be things happening to other players that affect her (such as Frisha or Mira updates), not her directly, most likely.

Of course, Chyos may change his mind, but it's not like people don't appreciate the other characters. The most common discussions in the discord recently actually revolved around the MILFs in the game tbh and lots of people want more Arianna or Frisha content too.

Tia hasn't got more updates than others, and she doesn't win all the time.

The weighted polling was brought in specifically because of Tia, since she was winning every early poll apparently (I wasn't a sub or didn't pay attention back then). Chyos wanted more variety, so he started putting in weighted polling and has even put in pity points for certain undervoted characters before (Gwen I know for sure).
