Kaylan and Eliana might be competent, but I'm not sure they can be trusted with that much power, yet

Yeah, not sure how that ''spynetwork'' of Eliana is even organized...but she is certainly more trustworthy than the blonde from the eastern faction, which has likely a more professional spynetwork.Well, Dinah is a blank canvas, we can teach her anything.

Kaylan, depends for what you would use her. I thought more about organization/logistic etc, otherwise Estrid is a way better choice when it comes to matters of the military.
The only other as of now, for the military, would be Tamura....but giving her any kind of power
I ll try Estrid and Dinah. I don't like all royal family. Lydia is too much determined to be a queen. Others are not a noble.
Historicaly it was ok to have foreign queen if she is noble. Religion could be a problem if we are speaking about monotheistic countries, but it looks that they are all pagans, so it is ok. Even in the game they planed to send Aelinia in another country.

It's really annoying that the setting for Skip Unseen text is always reset when launching the game. Please fix this.

It was indeed a very busy March. The prep for the Steam release of the first part of Volume 2 ended up being more involved than I planned. Though that is the story of game development as a whole. I found some further code issues, had a few long-standing issues that took time to sort out, and decided to bite the bullet and make a few more planned changes during all the other work. The upshot of all that work (and days of testing!) is that I've got a much better code base to work with in the future. There are still a few more code improvements, especially around Steam Deck ease-of-use, that I hope to have done by the middle of the year.
What all this means for the second part of Volume 2's release (in many, many more months) is that I should only need to update the walkthrough guide with the new content, and add achievements for Steam and test those. As someone who had no idea how to code when I started this, please just stick with me as I fix past Roy's numerous mistakes.
Apart from that, it was special renders for March, and back to the story development for To Be A King. I'm at a big inflection point with the story, and that has meant spending more time mapping out choices you get to make as a player and deciding what stays and what goes. I've got a nice plan for the rest of the story, with only a few more decisions I know I need to make. Sadly, I already know that even more choices will develop unexpectedly in the dark future of my game development journey.
With all the branches and options we have now, development time is definitely a bit longer for each release. Even if I had a nuke take out half of the love interests, there are still so many options. I'm doing what I do best: embracing the chaos and making a game that I enjoy playing. That is especially important as I probably play through the game at least 4-5 times with each release.
Environments for this next release are done, and I have just a couple of minor characters to get finished up before I can setup renders for their scenes. It has been nice to, once again, return to a development system that I understand fairly well and can be efficient in. Very good news as I see ever larger releases in my future.
With the story work, a few IRL curveballs, and other improvements, I've been spending time working on things you won't see until the next release. As with Chapter 11, Chapter 12 is shaping up to be very large, and I don't foresee future chapters being much shorter than it will be.
I'll be back in May with another progress report. Until then, I'll be staying very warm with all the render work. Take care!

I like Aelina quite a lot, but she is power hungry as fuck, in my mind she would bring problems in the form of trying to take MCs authority or (mis)using her position as Queen to take serious decisions without consulting MC first. I dont see her being happy only with her role as Queen, she wants to rule (as the main ruler) and she wants power... aaand she has a short temper. You said she backs down if MC stands his ground, but theres the possibility of her doing this to not put in danger the chance of being chosen as Queen...once she gets what she wants, she can change.

You raise some good points. I like strong women who respect boundaries. With Aelina, there is a danger she may stab you in the back when she is Queen to take over. I think she will be content as an involved Queen. If you don't make her queen she is likely to be bitter and even more dangerous. She would never stop plotting. If she starts going too far as queen she could always have an accident
For some reason, I'm getting those same vibes from Lydia. (Not to the extent of Aelinia, of course.)You raise some good points. I like strong women who respect boundaries.

Yeah, not giving her the Queen position will make her hella upset, even more if the player takes Lydia as Queen.You raise some good points. I like strong women who respect boundaries.

Its like MC did Lydia a favor removing her uncle from a position of influence, because all of that fell on her lap, and she was quite fast on taking advantage of it as she seems to be the one leading the faction now. Before she could only dream of becoming one of his concubines, and now has the chance of becoming Queen..and even if she doenst, depending on player choices shes his wife already...and one of the first ones. No one on her family would oppose her. MC seems to be dealing with a lot of potentialy dangerous women.

Yeah, I'm not sure what to do about Lydia or what I can do within the context of the game. I just can't manage to trust her. Aelinia is blatant about her intentions, while Aelinia is onside and she will be a huge asset. Lydia I just don't know."
