Hey guys, Monsinne with another one of those stream-of-consciousness updates:
First off we really appreciate all the kind words and messages and support we/I've received. It's truly appreciated.
This is mostly just a rehash of what I've said on discord for those that aren't on the discord but, here we go -
So the current plan is to finish the filler quest. I've got the following scenes to complete for it, and will likely add some additional Vehlis ones too.
Soldier events:
3b - done
4a
4b
4c
Ba'ashi events:
1a
1b
1c
2a
2b
3a
The tracker (me updating when I do a thing) is on discord.
After this, I'll finish the last patron vote winner we had in story form. I've already discussed this with the winner and the general agreement between us was that it's better to conclude that in some way than not at all. It may be adjusted slightly from the original prompt to better accommodate the different medium.
After that, there's some non-definitive ideas for a spinoff still set in KoD. The majority of feedback received was a strong preference for remaining in this world and not doing something completely different, and I share that preference as well. I've asked a couple of artist friends and they've expressed interest. There's a possibility of doing a written only thing as well, though the preference from everyone did very solidly lie with inclusion of an artist.
Either way, nothing after the filler + poll completion is definitive. I just want to lay out what we're thinking, what's possible, etc. I (Monsinne) currently cannot actually log on to the patreon. I have one of those fancy variable IPs and Nomo has the email for login verifications, not me. Nds is currently the posting-relay-guy.
I recommend hopping on the discord server if possible, even if just to mute it and keep the KoD channel pings open - it's where I'm putting updates and thoughts before getting Nds to relay here on patreon. Thanks everyone.

I'm not sure what is wrong with me, but I just can't get into Sierra's writing own its own. In collaborations, I like it - but when I go to the source, it doesn't grip me.
Anyway, since KoD is dead, any other games that do the elf x orc corruption theme well?

It's honestly not that bad.
But Hreinn really going on milking that cow still. Also people still subscribed despite Nomo goin MIA for a year is baffling me
Sierra left and there was no spiritual successor for her writing. The new writer had a very special style off writing and he just wrote smutty stuff and tried to make it fit somehow.
And the artist was sloppy and shadowed out, like you see a change in style

Damn that sucks. Though maybe it's for the best, I do remember that updates were just nothingburguers, now everyone will move on from this.
Artist and lead dev actually has been MIA for like a year now. As in, literally not even the other devs have been able to get in contact with him. The other devs kept it a secret from the patrons for most of that time, only recently disclosing it to the patrons after they couldn't fake another update without new art assets.
The new writer is gonna just release whatever work they have finished and finally shutdown the project for good.
It's really a shame what happened to this game the art and story were pretty magically early on. Unfortunately it devolved into basically the same scenes with art that was substantially less attractive. The early scenes are really good and hot. Oh well.
Does anyone know if the game has been abandoned or not?
On Patrion they seem to say that it hasn't.
Although in the comments they say that it has been abandoned.
Can anyone enlighten me?

So you read the comments
But you're confused. SO the comments that named this a long dead in everything but name bc they've been milking their patreons for years....... have you confused as to whether or not hte game is dead despite the comments telling you that it is now announced that it's main creator, Nomo the artist, who is MIA has officially said to have been MIA from the rest of his crack team and you're wondering if that conflicts with the patreon that has been milked for years still saying it ISN'T dead. Okay man imma just have you read that out loud in your native language.
Short version:
Nomo, the guy who drew the art and came up with the story, the characters, the setting, the personalities, the interactions, the scenes, etc. has disappeared from the internet over a year ago. Everyone we know has lost contact with him.
The dev team technically still has a writer and a coder who didn't quit, so technically the game is not abandoned yet.
But, if they don't want to shut everything down, they only have a couple of options left:
1. Keep things on life support and keep making reused scenes without progression. (commonly known as milking)
2. Nomo comes back from his exile.
3. Find new artists, narrative lead and project lead to take over the required tasks.
4. Start a new game in the same setting with the new people on the team.
So basically unless Nomo comes back suddenly, then the game is either over or both the game and the dev team has to go through drastic changes before they can do anything.
Got it, thanks.
Sad, if this is all true.
I enjoyed the game (until the moment when I lost the ability to choose between submission and dominance).

The game's pretty much abandoned at this point, at least from a development standpoint. We're just here waiting for its inevitable fate.
