I appreciate the review! What did you find weird about Dragana's armour, if you don't mind my asking? It's definitely less than realistic by design (I gotta show off her legs) but we can pretend that it helps her with mobility, or whatever
I have also noticed that her shoulder pads are a bit different in some sprites than others, will get that fixed soon.
She's not the worst offender, even though her armor looks... "clothy" and badly protect the arms I get the boob window (considering the site we're on). Also, no helmet which, again, is weird during the ambush scene, but I get it. Helmet sucks to draw and realistic-ish armor isn't as pleasing considering ultimately it's an AVN (although a "war mode" and "calmer mode" design for Dragana would be nice, but I digress and it's an extra cost of art). My opinion if it were to be asked would be for some "leatherish" armor for Dragana, which could keep roughly the same aesthetic/colour scheme but not look like some clothes.I appreciate the review!

The art is extremely cool and convey well what you wanted, don't get me wrong, but, beyond the vambrace and pauldron, it doesn't really look like armor that would take a blow in contrast to Branko (I'm not asking for her to be armored like Branko, though).
The worst offender is Scars' armor which is no armor which, for a combat scene... Wearing an armor that doesn't protect the stomach at all in a melee fight is about as useful as wearing a cap backside in a firefight but then, I could buy it through some "she's not supposed to fight, she's just a commander"-which is kinda hinted but contradicted elsewhere- or her being some kind of horse archer. Ultimately, I'm nitpicking and most people aren't here for this kind of stuff. It just bugged me a lot in that specific scene . Also, women in realistic-ish armor (leather or metal) is a cool aesthetic, but that's merely my opinion.
I've never once even considered Scars to be wearing armor tbh. They're supposed to be barbarians living on the fringes of society who couldn't much procure armor if they wanted it. I never thought about it before, but the

from Fallout New Vegas were probably a visual inspiration for them. It's probably still less than realistic, though, I agree.

Status Update #38 - November 17th, 20257 hours ago
And we're back with these! Right off the bat, I had nothing else, so the preview today is the original art for Dragana's introduction in Episode 2. I thought it kinda lacked the gravitas and cool factor I was looking for so I got another one done, but that doesn't mean I can't unearth it anyway lol
This week's status update is mostly going to be for housekeeping purposes; it is my hope that production on Ep. 2 Pt. 2 will be well underway in seven days time and I'll be able to talk about that more then.
I want to thank everyone for playing the latest release, and for all the nice comments I've recieved about it! The response has been almost universally positive, which I was in no way expecting, so thanks! It's also been a financial success, as my Patreon has nearly doubled in the past month or so. I'm still a ways away now, but I'm beginning to see a clear path for the game being profitable in the future, which is surreal.
Now on to the housekeeping:
1: I hate missing deadlines and not living up to my word, so the fact that Bonus Scene #5 is still not out has been weighing on me. I've simply been busy with IRL work, but that's no excuse; going forward, I'll have some announcements to make about the bonus scenes to ensure that I'm able to follow the schedule from now on. The scene itself will be out in a few days.
2: A user on Discord alerted me to the fact that the UI is fucked again on the Android version of the game; frankly, I'm surprised that only one person has told me about this considering how popular the platform has been for people downloading the game. My coding guy is on the case, and I'll update the Android links/put out an announcement as soon as the problem has been rectified.
3: For those who are unaware, the game is now up on

! It's very wild to have something I made on there. Doesn't it look super professional? It won't be available on there for a few months, but once it is I'll put out another announcement. The game is going to launch in early access, but anyone who purchases it will recieve the latest releases at the same time as Serf tier all the way up until the end of Episode Four. Very exciting stuff!That's all from me this week! Thank you all for playing my game.

I don't think you are nitpicking at all.
It bugs me too.
Leather armor tho, is mostly useless, like wearing normal cloths.
I understand it's fiction and all, but it still fells out of place.
You can argue that bandits might use some leather armor because they got no access to iron or they lack the skills and tools for smiting armor, but a royal protector won't wear this type of gear because one stab or an arrow in the stomach and she is dead.
I mean, leather armor do the trick and have some merits (lighter, cheaper, easier to put mostly) that would fit someone in a bodyguard function or not rolling in the dough. There is a reason bodyguards aren't in full army gear, usually.
Yeah, good point. Dragana being outfitted as she is as a bodyguard isn't necessarily an implication that she's dressed the same way when she's out in the field.
Does anyone know if these means there is only 4 episodes planned until the game is over? Or will people who purchase it on steam just not get the latest updates right away once it goes beyond episode 4?
"Season Two" will likely start with Episode 5. On steam there will be 2 seasons or 3 tops.
Wonderful news. Despite how wonderfully long your updates are, 4 episodes feels like it would be a bit short, so glad to hear we'll have at least 2 seasons!
I like the dominant, powerful, bossy Duvessa!
I look forward to her officially becoming the official Matriarch of her territory,, and I also look forward to her becoming the official ruling Queen of the entire kingdom.
I hope Duvessa defeats everyone, achieves her goal, and that everything will be fine with Duvessa (both throughout the game and at the end). (This is very important to me—this is why I play this game.)
I always try to make decisions that bring Duvessa success and are best for Duvessa.

NPCs:
1) I like Katia. I hope Duvessa and Katia will interact more with each other and become reliable allies (developing a great relationship with her).
I hope Duvessa and Priscilla will have a great relationship and that Duvessa will treat Priscilla better.
I also hope Duvessa will interact with Kristina and Melina.
2) I hope Veska will always be on Duvessa's side and will always act in Duvessa's interests.
I hope Dragana will always serve Duvessa faithfully.
I hope Erika will remain loyal to Duvessa; and that Erika will become more obedient and always do what Duvessa (dom) tells her. (And I still hope she stops calling her "V").
I hope Bronislava will always do what Duvessa tells her.
I hope that Veska, Dragana, Erika, and Bronislava will be devoted, loyal, and obedient to Duvessa.

1) Scars:
Of all Scars routes, the only acceptable one for me is the one where Duvessa dominates over Scars.
But in my opinion, Duvessa treats Scars too softly (especially considering the backstory and compared to the relationships in the alternative routes).
2) I hope Duvessa (dom) will increase her dominance over Dalan, Ondi, Branko, and I also hope she will dominate Raphael, Viktor, Dendrik, August, the blacksmith, Shai and all the other male characters (who, I hope, they will become submissive to Duvessa).

Yes; Dom Duvessa who loses and Sub Duvessa who wins will both be 100% possible.
As I've said a few times on the Discord, I liken a Dom Duvessa who loses to Starscream from Transformers. I'm not quite sure what a Sub who wins will look like, yet, but I'll get there.
Amazing game so far! Love me a game with a dom female protagonist that can collect her own harem of obedient female slav... servants!
I'm currently negotiate with that scumbag Jasen about the future of the village. All of his own demands sound really bad, with the exception of renaming the village maybe... What did you guys choose or did you'll just bribed him?

None of the options are good like you said, but I ultimately decided to arm his fans and give him a plot of land. My reasoning is that his band of followers have no training in swordplay, so they would still be relatively harmless. Plus, the weapons and armor would eventually become blunt/rust and be useless after some time.Amazing game so far!

Secondly, I chose the land option since he doesn't actually decide to cash in on it at that moment, so hopefully later down the line I can screw him over and not honor the deal. And even if I do end up giving Jasen land, from my understanding it's just personal property to retire to, so it's only like a couple acres at most. Giving him safe haven in Griffin's Beak is a horrible decision for obvious reasons, and while I thought about renaming the town since I wouldn't help him out materially by doing so, I didn't like how that would legitimize him and his movement, if that makes sense. Also, if he ends up making waves against the nobility, having a town named after him in my domain is a glaring red flag that I have worked with him.
Personally I went with renaming the town since of them, it sounded like giving the least. I also only had to give in to one demand (since playing a sub duvessa I got in the bath with him). So far it seems like a decent choice. Especially since most people, even the town folks, still refer to it by the original name so it feels like no one really cares about the name change or takes it seriously.Amazing game so far!
