Will you ever expand the 'ruling' gameplay? Its just ending turns and hoping that other kingdoms don't attack or spread rumor - it gets boring quite quick. It just feels like chores to get sex scenes
Yes, I think the metagame could use a little deepening, and recent poll with my patrons confirmed that those who don't play in VN mode would appreciate a little deeper gameplay. I do, however, must always bear in mind that no one wants to lose pussy in a porn game due to bad management skills, so I must be very careful when introducing additional "non-sex" features.Will you ever expand the 'ruling' gameplay?

On the one hand I understand some players desire for a more detailed management style.... But fuck them!!!

This is always my issue when I see people ask for more complex "X", be it gameplay or choices...... sounds great, adds a crap ton of development time that slows releases.So harder isn't a problem for me... plus players are asking the dev(Outside of patrons) to take away time from developing the HOTTT SHIT!!!

Because the game caters to a much wider audience... Shit there were even players of the current version as is and they fuck their own playthrough up via poor choices...
And now there are persons asking for more technicals to make it harder!!!... Mind you outside of vn's I love management sims...

scenes we play these porn games for; to spend more time on NON LEWD content.. YUH MAD!??!
The work in progress is perfect to me so far...and I expect great things going on. Don't spoil an already good thing..
I would estimate that new metagame features (recent are Fame and before that the Shadow Institute various functions) typically take one hour per version. I.e. even with my mediocre coding skills, they are extremely easy to implement and are barely time consuming.This is always my issue when I see people ask for more complex "X", be it gameplay or choices...... sounds great, adds a crap ton of development time that slows releases.
I would rather they spend time on story/content rather than mechanics myself.
All good, I just hate to see Devs burn out trying to please everyone. As long as it doesn't involve you learning some new esoteric coding or sending yourself stark raving mad have at it.I would estimate that new metagame features (recent are Fame and before that the Shadow Institute various functions) typically take one hour per version.

The reason I'm not adding more is that I believe in "evolution over revolution" sort of development; I prefer to add small changes and see how they affect the game and gradually increase their impact rather than introduce big one and discover that they break the balance.
Fame is a good example: introduced in version 0.8 I feel the effects of high and low Fame are too weak to be a factor in anyone's playstyle so I intend to modify them a bit for 0.10 to see if metagame players notice. But adjusting statistics is literally 5 minutes work and (sadly) this is the only metagame change in 0.10.
The rest is sex and story.

Personally, I like the R/P/S system. It's fun for me to try and figure out the upcoming attacks from the telegraphs. AND it's different from all the other games I've played! That's another big plus for me.1. No plans for ditching the R/P/S. System. In a recent *poll I held, my patrons (surprisingly, I'll admit) said they liked it.

2. You can skip the R/P/S combat and instantly win it by clicking the chicken button.
3. If you didn't play for a long time I made two significant changes in the system: the opponents are now animated and their animation will hint at the upcoming attack, but you'll have to learn (preferably while in Defense mode) what each "hint" means. The second change was the removal of Subdue option: all subduable opponents are now not-killed automatically.
4. To be honest, I do think the R/P/S combat can be improved, but the "typical" RPG turn based combat is not only boring (IMHO) but takes much longer time (I think an R/P/S combat takes about 20 seconds). I'm open to ideas how to improve the R/P/S system without making it too complex. The nerd in me whines that the R/P/S is more realistic as well: in melee you attempt to guesstimate what your opponent will do and counter it.
*The numbers don't seem to add to 100% because it's part of a bigger poll with more options regarding Fiefdom management.

So far I am loving the game, are you looking to do a Steam release anytime soon?
No, its not in the game and have no idea if it will come later or not.Hey everyone, is the first page game banner picture in the game? I completed all available provinces and did not run into this tall red head.
