Everytime I see the name Dickon at the begin, in my mind there's "Ser Bronn of the Blackwater" laughing like crazy. :closedeyesmile:
You took that name from GoT, Belle?
Yeah. It was a working name for the character during early development. I never intended to bring it along into the official release, but when the day came that I had to figure out a real name, I thought "why not?" and let it stay the way it was.
Why BitDefender is showing me the Game EXE as Maleware?
Because it's mistaken. If you downloaded it through the Patreon, the file is clean. What you're seeing is a false positive. If it's a pirated version, you're on your own.
This kind of thing happens with the most innocent of software. Smaller software like my game is more vulnerable to it too, since the antivirus developers are less likely to notice that something is wrong when the software being scanned isn't high-profile.
Hunting. Meh. Overmap? OK why? The stuff I want to be exploring are the girls with some character, story and plot development, not more detours.
I'm sorry that you believe this to be a detour. I'm still building the foundations for this game, but I do try to balance that out with expanding existing content here and there. For example, the previous update was entirely focused on expanding existing content. This update focused on the new. 0.7 represents the first step into the Fey Court Patreon goal that was achieved earlier.
I have said this before and I will say it again: the characters I introduced in the beginning
are not the game's main characters. I make sure they get plenty of attention, but the goal is not to focus on them all of the time. There are still several girls that need introducing.
Developing a large and complex game like this alone, with fully working releases every single month, is challenging in all kinds of ways. There is no possible way that I can throw a bone to all the fans in every single update. Some updates will be less interesting to some of you and more interesting to others. Some updates (like this one, I suspect) will become more interesting as the game grows into a complete experience. Temper your expectations, and you'll enjoy this a lot more.
hmm only 265mb...guessing this game doesn't have a lot content.
Don't let yourself get fooled by the developers tossing hundreds of uncompressed images into their games. I compress my files, unlike those others you are comparing to. There is a lot of content here for a game so early in development. Even if we disregard images for a moment, there are more words in the current version of Long Live the Princess than were in the first Harry Potter novel, and just slightly less than were in the second novel. This is a game that will, even at this stage, take you many hours to play through.
