RPGM Abandoned Chronicles of Leridia [v0.6.3] [Maelion]

[wildride69]

Posted on Patreon 3 days ago


I've been working for several years on adding content and updating Leridia to version 1.0.

The game is currently playable from start to finish, but the full version will add many new elements.

I'll summarize the highlights of the last few months.

Story and Quests

One of the most important elements is the addition of more detailed story content and new quests.

Some characters, for example, have been improved


Flick has been reworked a bit

Side Characters like Suiko or Amy will be able to join Sylia in her quest during battles and some events.


Suiko is now joining Sylia during the Kooma Island event

Some quests have been added as well as some dungeons.



The Underworld has new caves and some quests added.

Graphics

Without totally changing the graphics, I'm taking care to add details to the existing maps: elements, lighting effects, animation effects.


God Rays have been reworked

Particles and light zones



Immersive environments have improved, here Barakas Islands

Gameplay

As I said, side characters can now join Sylia during events. This allows a more interesting gameplay for battles and stronger bonds between the characters.


Battle phases are more dynamic with lines from Amy, Suiko or even Aria so far...!

Pentagrams are also added there and there.


Explore the map in a new way to discover new pentagrams

Events triggering quests are also added. As I'm doing a new playthrough, I add events, characters and new missions on an already solid basis.


Vulkain, a new side story character

Better and new H-Scenes

I'm improving sex scenes during battles and events, adding also new ones with Pentagrams, new characters and even new dungeon quests !

Wrestling game has also been greatly improved !

More outfits are now available for wrestling scenes


A whole new cave with events, puzzles and new male character introducing new h-scenes



Playable Aria with battle hot scenes

Balancing battles and Legendary Monsters

I'm adding a large quest with 7 Legendary Monsters to beat during the whole journey.

I'm also balancing skills and fights for challenging battles but fair.


Be sure to be ready when facing a Legendary Monster !

Adding a lot of other things

I'm also improving sound effects, atmosphere, music...

My english has also improved since 2016_2020 so I'm rewriting a lot of lines of dialogs.

Roadmap, actual progress

I worked recently on the Underworld events, adding more depths to the battle of the towers. Lyse, Aria and Diane have greater roles.

The evil monsters are also more epic and dangerous.

I'm now working on the Dragon Pass Event, rewriting some scenes and events with Amy. I'm adding more scenes and changing some.

I also try to make a better use of Saint/ Deviant choices with Pentagrams and actions. It's way more immersive in my opinion.


A new event with Amy, here with the choice of Arrogant/ Saint approaches
Roadmap for the next months :

• Reworking events, graphics, scenes in Dragon Pass
• Reworking events, graphics, scenes in Lerid

In the future :

• Reworking ultimate events in the underworld
• Reworking events in the tower of Illusion
• Reworking ending

Last part :

• Reworking Princess Mode events, gameplay
• Publishing the game on Steam in 1.0 version

Cannot wait to fully play it again!

I know this is F95 but this post is early access on Patreon and was supposed to be released to public five days later.
This is a also a way for new patrons to come and stay, assuring the future of the projects.

Just updating the community that work was continuing and the title is not abandoned. I will remove it immediately if you want.

Maelion You say that it will be available on Steam, will it also be available to download without steam like we have been doing for years? I've loved your work for years and really am impressed by your projects!

I will try to publish it on steam. Patreon is for development support but once it's complete, I think it's logical to move on another way of sharing my project. What's the point if I share it for free and sell it on steam as well ?

I could be mistaken but I think he was asking for alternative platforms like maybe itch.io ?

Steam is amazing and I buy 95% of my games there but even with all the privacy features, you are just one mistake away from
sharing your love of H games with people that might not want to know your kinks.
But definitively sell it on steam as that is the biggest platform for the most return.

Also after the game is completely finished and released, would you mind people going ham and making mods for it?

itch.io could also be another way to share Leridia. I don't know if the game could fit there.
I'd love to see some mods around Leridia and keep the game alive this way to be honest. Once it's complete, as long as you don't make a Patreon or sell it as a copy paste thing.
Quests or routes could be a nice addition as long as I'm aware of them and I approve them to be part of the world of Leridia. It took years to make the lore so...

So what's e.t.a for 1.0?

 

[Pa3uk]

If this game were released on Steam, I’d buy it. But supporting a product on Patreon that drags on for years with very little content being released? I disagree with that system. Plus, I can’t support it even if I wanted to, due to regional restrictions. So, if it were on Steam, I’d purchase it without hesitation.

If I see that a product is worth it, I’ll gladly support the developer with my money. However, as I mentioned, I don’t like becoming a cash cow (i.e., making recurring payments on Patreon). I fully understand the advantages of Patreon from a developer’s perspective—it allows them to “milk” people for years. On Steam, on the other hand, you pay once, and that’s it. From the developer’s point of view, that might not seem like much.

BUT, as others have already pointed out, Steam has a massive audience and is an excellent way to earn money quickly (if the product is worth its price—again, just to emphasize).

Take Kagura Games, for example (localizers and publishers). They’ve got a huge variety of games for every taste. What’s stopping THIS game from standing alongside titles like:

1. Claire’s Quest
2. Countess in Crimson
3. The Genesis Order (and others NLT Media games)
4. Karryn’s Prison
5. OneOne1 Games
6. Subverse
7. Third Crisis
8. Zetria
9. Princess & Conquest
10. Puppet Master
11. MagicShop
12. Fallen Makina
13. Carnal Instinct
14. BoneTown

...and many others (that’s just part of what I own; it’s not the full list).
If I understood the rumors correctly, A Struggle with Sin might soon join this list, as the developer is (POSSIBLY) planning to release it on Steam. If that’s true, I’ll definitely buy it...
The only concern is whether the game will still feel relevant by the time the developer decides to release it on Steam. The competition is already quite strong, and honestly, as of TODAY, the game already looks a bit underwhelming (visually). Visually it even loses to the one I mentioned (A Struggle with Sin)...
At the time of its initial release, I’d have rated it a 7 out of 10, but now I can barely give it a 5.
I’d love to see THIS game on that list, but at a reasonable price. If it’s priced like a AAA game at around $50, it’s unlikely many people would buy it ^_^.
It’s been (roughly) 10 years since the game was announced, and for several years it didn’t receive any updates. It’s a "product of its time." BUT over these 10 years, progress hasn’t stood still, and compared to modern standards, it looks "weak."
As if that wasn’t enough, the developer, without finishing the current game, started an entirely new one, whose fate is completely unclear (Cyberpunk? ). It’s no surprise that the original game ended up being labeled ABANDONED.
I definitely wouldn’t create a new game in the same visual style. The style needs to be reimagined because, as I’ve already mentioned, it’s outdated.

No offense.

If you don't like it just go away and play some other game,there are plenty of it - instead you are just trolling and hating such a good game and the decisions of the developer! Haters like you should be banned forever because that's the only thing they live for - to find someone or something who succeeded and start trolling on it because that's all they can do and they hate the fact that someone else manage to success while they can't do that! Try to do something as good and successful instead trolling and hating other ones!

I've already added you to ignore list because i don't like people like you,so you don't need to try answering me back - i will not see it either way!

I gave criticism, and with facts. And you started insulting me, who is the troll here? -_- DO NOT answer, I don't want to talk to you. If you CANNOT READ, that's your problem.
I also spoke in DEFENSE of the author and said that I was READY TO BUY the product if it was on Steam... -_- if you didn't understand correctly - that's YOUR problem! And if anyone should be banned, it's just such narrow-minded people as you.

The weirdo clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed -_- ...

I know too well Chronicles of Leridia is outdated in term of graphics and some gameplay elements. As said, it's a game started in 2016. The market was different then and not as bloated as today.
The game is complete in term of content from 2021 and I wanted to polish it before 1.0.
In the end, I'm adding a lot of new things such as quests, areas, dungeons, pentagrams. I do it with love, patience and very slowly, aside from my main project. I never lied or told tales about this on Patreon. I don't think I milk them. If you know me, I'm very clear on my intention and goals.
Patreon support is very more for Cyberslayers than Leridia but I will always fight to prevent players thinking the game is abandoned because it is not. I come back to it once a week and never put it away. It's a love project.
I think it deserves a steam release because it is very generous even if it's old and it has something players like more than just porn.
The game is pretty massive and will be really worth for people investing in it if they decide to go beyond the outdated elements.
The price will also be very affordable, far from 50$. Maybe more around 5/10$.

Cyberslayers is starting to be outdated as well...That's okay, I'm fine with this. I'm not struggling to have the best game anyway, I'm doing my things constantly with love for hentai and rpgs with my own approach.

Everybody is free to support me their way (much more than money...such as comments or advices).
Without the community on discord and feedback here, the games would have never gone that far.

Your game is very good, I've been supporting it since you started on Patreon. It's wild to think that it came out in 2016, doesn't seem that long ago. Your work is fantastic and the effort and care you put into it shows through the game. I never once thought you were one of those Patreon scammers, every update you put out had such a large amount of content to it along with your interaction with your supporters made it an easy decision to keep the support up.

I would really like to play the game, but For some reason, it doesn't work on Android via Joiolay, it is pretty broken... Sometimes it doesn't load and when it loads I can't save the game

Maelion - What is your priority this year... to finish this and get it done/sold on Steam etc. maybe or Cyberslayers?

This is one of the best games I ever played. I would happily pay for it on Steam/DLSite or something when completed.

Maelion has said tah cyb is his main focus and Leridia is passion sideproject.
