Hey everyone!
Thank you for the successful launch of Realm 2 on Steam! Now that it's been released, all of our efforts are being directed towards Realm 3. We had also been working on this prior to the Steam release, so we'll share some progress updates with you below.
First Release of Realm 3
As mentioned previously, Realm 3 will be a separate build from Realm 1 & 2, meaning that it will need to be launched separately by players. When you reach the end of Realm 2, be sure to make a save import to enable you to move this into Realm 3.
For the first update itself, this will come in at around 600 images. Our usual updates are between 200 - 300 images, so this first release will be a much larger stand-alone update. Tae is progressing well with the posing. For the animations, all of the NSFW animations for the first release are animated but still need lighting and rendering. We also have some "safe-for-work" animations that still need to be created.
As we mentioned in a previous post, we are also creating custom environments for almost all of the future content to make it feel unique and really fit the feel we are going for. This is a massive task within itself, but we now have quite a few ready, some of which Tae has posed scenes within.
For those of you who have been with us for a while, you'll know that we used to do two updates per month. This slowed slightly when we upgraded the graphics, and recently with doing a double update for the Realm 2 finale and remastering all of Realm 2 for Steam, our release schedule has been a little more varied.
After the first update of Realm 3 is out, we are aiming to get back to releasing one update per month. The scope of Realm 3 is much larger than that of Realm 1 & 2, so monthly updates will be a push, but we're eager to provide a nice steady stream of content again.
At the top of this post, we've shared a preview image of a new harem member,
Morwen. Below is another new harem member called
Idril. These two will be very central to the plot of High Lathión.
User Interface & Glossary Overhaul
We're also excited about how our UI and glossary overhaul is coming along. The UI won't be changed for Realms 1 & 2, but for Realm 3 and beyond, we are largely upgrading this.
This involves a complete rework while still keeping a similar feel to our original UI.
For the glossary, we realise that this world is now expanding, and it can be hard to remember all of the details, places and characters. The glossary will have complete character bios for all important characters, as well as entries for species, realms and other relevant terms.
We will share more of this in due course. For now, you can see some previews below:
We still need to actually implement this within the game and write all of the glossary entries in more detail. We're super excited about how it looks, and we're eager to get the glossary filled in.
Wishlist on Steam
The power of wishlisting on Steam had the ability to completely alter a game's trajectory on Steam at launch. We've already uploaded a store page for Realm 3, with some more preview images included.

Thanks for all of your ongoing support. Without it, the continued development of this game wouldn't be possible. We'll keep you updated and hope to announce a release date soon. We're incredibly eager to get into Realm 3!
Hopefully, you found this update interesting. If you have any questions, please let us know in the comments
Have a great day, people!
