Ndsferrari and Monsinne have lost contact with Nomo.

They've acquired a new artist

that will help with a new prequel project.

Don't understand why they are making a prequel of all things?!

This ain't the first game with a new artist, they can just continue the current game with new art, just look at Claire's quest.

Feels like more milking of the patrons, I'll only change my mind if this new project has a update every month, for at least one full year.

There are likely some issues with the copyright on the characters. Since Nomo created the character designs, if they just used a new artist there could be legal issues if they use the KoD characters. That and having a (relatively) clean slate, without all the half implemented and forgotten systems in KoD and the obvious change in art style or huge expense of replacing all the existing art.

Nomo created the whole setting, so if it was a question of copyright, then they might not be able to use anything at all and might be forced to start a new world.

My wild guess (since i can't see their post) is that Monsinne never really liked Sabia as a protagonist. The witty, athletic warrior captain basically disappeared as he gained more control over the game, so it would make sense to start a new story with a MC he does not feel the urge to retcon.

Oh boy I can't wait for a generic borderline-braindead FeMC who gets tricked and raped by every single guy (or girl) in existence and saves the world by doing so.

Monsinne is a hack and every game with him at the helm is a waste of time and money, the prequel is going to be shit even if the artist is possessed by divine talent because the writing is bound to be insufferable garbage full of bimbo fetishism.

You can pretty much search for japanese RPGM on this forum and almost certainly hit a game like. Monsinne is going to enter a very saturated market with a WIP game.

As an answer to why a prequel instead of a finish to KoD, here's Monsinne's response on the discord.

>Incredibly draining on me, mentally and creatively

This dumbass almost only wrote "Bitch" for like 5 patches in a row (that took a couple of years to get out), the only thing that's drained is his bank account so now he's hustling to get some new project going to get the attention of new paypigs.

I would call him a scam artist but there's no art here.

"I don't think continuing kod is the right call, I don't think I'll do it justice".

But... you're going to do a prequel to it?

To be fair, a guy so lacking in talent and humility as him, would probably be drained by the effort of writing something beyond bitch-slut-whore-dick

I wasn't expecting a Shakespeare Epic from this anyway, just a competent porn game I can jerk off to. But I guess even that's too much to ask for Patreon ''developers''

All they had to do was write Noxian Nights again with original characters. That's what I've always wanted with KoD. Just a slow corruption/prostitution game, with Nomo's art, some gags in between, that's it.

Instead, they went with this stupid plot, "Oh, Sabia is not actually a slut, she just wants revenge", get the f*ck out of here. I wanted a full corruption game, eventually following along different races, not just orcs and humans. I mean, Neve is the hottest elf I've ever seen, I would have loved to see a corruption path for her too, just full sexual harassment and groping when she enters a human town.

You guys may not agree, but I don't mind. I think I speak for everyone here when I say all of the scenes in the game are pretty dogshit, except for some.

The KoD situation is CRAZY:








That's about it, see ya.

Why do a spin-off for a well loved abandoned game? [yes they said they will continue, but for now its shelfed] why not just make a new game? baffling. When people play the spinoff, players will just be reminded of kingdom of deception, and what it could have been.
