You should be more careful, because unkind people can deceive you and mislead you. When you download 0.2.1 kod amelia, you will see a new game branch from a new artist. They are trying to attach a saddle to a pig and pass it off as a horse.
I rather have a pig than a dead horse , were is this new spinoff, some of the best content are fan made

Is the new version really that bad?

Do yall have any other recommendations for similar games to KOD? Really disappointing to see the original devs gone when it was such a good game

The game is abandoned / canceled. The TLDR is that the original creator and artist, Nomo, has been missing for almost 2 years. The writer and coder are making their own spinoff game in the same setting, which is on the same patreon account.

The writer and programmer tried to continue KoD while not sharing that Nomo, the artist, was basically gone but finally decided to admit that they couldn't actually continue the game without him. They were making "filler content" that was supposed to come out faster but was still the same slow pace as every previous main content.

Changing artists would be extremely noticeable, which would have led to issues continuing KoD. There are also copyright issues, since Nomo owns the character designs and setting.

Then its difficult if they want to continue the original KoD, the character copyright is not own by themself

the end made me chuckle,cause there totally isnt more problems into this world than the "gang splitting up"

Anyway I agree with some points but overall I hard disagree that it was Sierra at fault,she if anything to go by her other games was the best voice in the team,with the art,vision and so many others,I played her other games and had a blast,not the best in terms of graphics as many are old but the story is great and generally we should have more women writte or make porn games,Karlssons gambit is another example and probably one of the top games on this site,atleast when it comes to femdom but it has a great story,characters n dialogue in addition to world building that it should be in the top even if some people arent into femdom.

I do agree that the model of managment and lone wolf type is not a good business model and should be changed like you said with some circle/freelance support but generally I must say the easiest fix would be to ban crowdfunding and releasing games unfinished,go back to releasing only finished ones,this way then we will eliminate all the unserious and generally clowns who think that anyone can be a game developer,which is stupid and wrong,devs n players should have standards. None of the AI bullshit or rushed milking games.
I think you misunderstood, I meant it to be "let's look at every angle fair and square" and that is the "worst" that Sierra has done IF it is the case.
The world of Kingdom of Deception is absurdly large for such a small team of 3 people, compare it to the League parody game they did where it's basically... 4-6 maps in total.
While with KoD it's at least 10+.

So I never blamed Sierra beyond that she may or may not have had a larger scope for the game than what the rest of the team could handle, as I said the biggest blame rest on whoever was suppose to manage the project to start, and ultimately Sierra has shown she can make complete games without some buffoon(s) pestering her or interrupting her responsibility.

I respect her regardless if she added fuel to the fire that is KoD, because her mistake is so minimal and could've been rectified via post-release content.

And unfortunately I think if crowdsourcing goes away (which to be fair seems to become increasingly likely due to the war against smut), we won't see an increase in HQ games, just different form of cash grabs, they'll scale back to Flash era games where you play strip poker and that will be the peak.

Since the west doesn't really have the Japanese circle culture, and freelancers are way too damn expensive and don't care about giving input about if something sucks.


Then its difficult if they want to continue the original KoD, the character copyright is not own by themself
Pretty much impossible, unless Hreinn games owns everything (which I doubt).

They already changed artist with the spinoff, and even in the demo it's already extremely noticeable.
The spinoff is all over the place, half the sprites are a recolor of the same image and then there's katarina from Noxian Night for some reason(?)

Nomo was already gone in early 2023, they waited 2.5 years before throwing the towel and telling their patreon that development was over. I feel that's inexcusable, and clearly those years didn't go to the development of the spinoff...

I found this game after it was abandoned, and I've been wondering for a while now whether I should still try it. The content looks really good. Can anyone tell me if it's worth playing with what's there, even if unfinished?

I mean it's not bad by any means. Actually the start was pretty good, but it fell off in the later parts of the game. Happened due to the change in writer and also, just my subjective opinion, the art degraded too. From what I understand, the art change also happened because of the writer.

It is playable for sure, so you can give it a try.

Start is good and compelling, but then it quickly undergoes a massive genre shift and becomes catgirl pokemon

wait till you see the new direction of the Kindom of deception "amelia" , they just released a free update available for download.

it's utter shite .
utter fucking shite. I am fucking livid.
it's become kingdom of lesbians. also there's ton of text for very little action .
every guy is a submissive pussy and the only blacksmith of the city is a femboy.
while sabia got railed by a dozen of orcs on the first 10 minutes of the first game.

no wonder it went to shit , the one who took over completely did a 180.

i'm now glad it's abandoned and hope it'll stay that way.

oh by the way . just for people to have a good laugh at the shit state of their new "game ". the tonal shift is beyond massive .
people loved the heavy submissive /dubious con elements/coercion/beastiality along with great characterization even the POS characters were great (the Shaman, Tekrokk ... ) . Sabia was ready to do anything to get to her nemesis .

there's literally no stake here .


This is from their official Patreon :


Kingdom of Deception Amelia 0.2.5 public release!



Hey guys - here's the release for 0.2.5.

It's a short addition to round out 0.2 - it's a quick setup for the brothel stuff going forward. It includes the small brothel-sim component of the game that we've discussed in the past.

There's a short quest that leads into being able to do it, and then a couple of small events, and a 1-panel scene.

Regarding the brothel sim itself:
1) This first iteration is a proof of concept, more stuff like girls, jobs and job slots will be added in the future.
2) Feedback welcome (specially about the UI) but keep in mind we want it to be a simple yet engaging enough simulator with the decisions.
3) It will serve as a hub for many events as showcased on a smaller scale at the moment.
4) Some events will trigger depending on who's working where.
5) Mood and Service are just to attract more and better clients and will be able to be improved with better deals with the Tavern and the Market in the future.
6) We made a decision to disable job experience for now. We want some events to be tied to the girl's job level, like the Steff bartender event for this release. If players grinded too many levels now, they'd possibly miss it in the future.

And as an important note: Backup your saves for this release. We're always updating the game with save compatibility in mind, but we're not sure how much we will change the base simulator going from 0.2.5 to 0.3.0. It will likely not affect saves at all, but there is a miniscule chance that it might, so better be safe than sorry.

Going forward we'll finish off the variant vote, and then once that's done we'll adjust the patreon tiers as mentioned previously (where the variant vote will be changed to a 1panel for the brothel), and then continue with 0.3. Monsinne will try and have all the filler stuff sent to Nds by the end of the year so that Nds can work on that while Joy and Monsinne then focus on 0.3.

Thanks everyone for your continued support!
