UPDATE: Chapter Two to be released in April!! – March 29, 2021
(as posted on our Patreon Page)
Hello Everyone, it’s that time again to provide you an update and hope that you are doing well and that the start of the week is treating you well so far; as the title of the post says, you can expect the release of “
Chapter Two” of the prologue to “
Agents of Karma” to be released this coming month!
This chapter is
CRAZY BIG and I’ve been working insane hours over here, trying to get things done on it and I currently have 2 of the 4 x 3 routes to the sex scene finished.
If you are wondering what I mean, let me give you a quick overview to kind of put things into a bit of perspective…
The majority of “
Chapter Two” will focus on the characters of Larsen and the Valkyrie, Ráðgríðr, who has been sent by Karma to try and enlist Larsen’s aid in repairing the ‘Tapestry of Time’, you will be assuming control over Larsen in this release and through your decisions, determine the kind of relationship that he’ll have with Ráðgríðr and his ‘payment’ for his services.
Depending on your responses to the Valkyrie, either through honesty, deceit or manipulation will determine how trusting she is of Larsen and how far she will go to acquire his help… push her to hard and to fast in your treatment of her and she could elect deem that you ask too much of her and force her to walk away, take too much time trying to be clever or try to be too slick and she may catch on to your attempts and also cause her to walk away…
…your responses as Larsen in the first part of the chapter is key… and her trust of you can be demonstrated by one of the four outfits that she will change into to signify her trust and trying to garner Larsen’s help (as shown in the above unedited and quick demonstration render to demonstrate the outfit choices/possibilities).
In the second half of the chapter, you can use her trust and desire to acquire Larsen’s aid ‘by any means necessary’ to have Larsen get full or partial payment for that aid… but how far Ráðgríðr will be willing to go sexually, as part of that payment, will be dependent on how much trust and willingness you earned with her in the first half…
…it will be up to you to decide the kind of relationship that Larsen has with Ráðgríðr in the remainder of the game series… will she be his submissive play toy? Will she slowly allow herself to be corrupted to meet his desire for his help, will she be accepting of the role you’ve placed on her as Larsen, will she be reluctant… or will she just walk away in disgust?
All of that will depend on
YOU, as you play and make your choices in the second half of the chapter as well.
So, 4 outfits that will signify her trust and the relationship she has with Larsen in the first half of the game… and you will have 3 kinds of choices (wicked, good or neutral) through various parts of the sex scenes that you make as Larsen to try and take the relationship as far as possible.
So, 4 (outfits) x 3 (wicked, neutral or good) routes that can occur during the sex scene… the more trust you have, the more willing she will be and the less you’ll have to try and manipulate her… try too much manipulation though and Larsen/you might end up with nothing but a bad case of blue balls… you’re going to have to play smart, choose your replies carefully and not push too hard.
In the terms of completion, I have two routes (outfits) completed with the 3 routes… I only have two more to do, which are a bit more expanded with possible variations than the first two… so even the sex scenes depending on the outfits she is wearing and the trust she has in Larsen will be different… lots of possibilities and outcomes!
Which also means a lot of work… but, I think, you’ll enjoy it and probably will want to try different things to get your favorite outcome, depending on your personal tastes and kinks.
And, I can assure you, I won’t be trying something along this scale again without using character sprites through the whole thing, up to the sex scenes… doing each possible outcome, dialogue and possibility as a flat rendered scene, is a lot of redundant rendering, just for a different outfit that the character is wearing… as exampled here:
Then add to the fact that, depending on the outfit/trust/relationship you’ve earned as Larsen, also determines how far she will allow things to go, her willingness, her thoughts and reception to it… yeah, lots and lots of rendering and different outcomes and possibilities… so, it isn’t all of the same, just her in a different outfit… nope, that are varying degrees of differences at the start of the scene, that can change during that scene as well!
So, a lot of possibilities, lots of rendering and lots of writing, but… really cool, I think, and worth the time I’ve put into this chapter… and that is just the part with Larsen and Ráðgríðr, that doesn’t include the other parts of this chapter with other characters and story that takes place in it!!
But, yeah, this chapter is a
MONSTER!!
Anyhow, to sum it all up, so that I can get back to work here… we are in the final stretch of renders and nearly done and it will
DEFINITELY be in your hands in April… and, then on to ‘
Chapter Three’ which won’t be nearly as big and will be the start of fully using character sprites for a lot of the dialogue scenes, making things much quicker and easier on me.
So, back to work I go… talk to you all soon, hope you are as excited as we are and thank you for your continued support and faith in us!!
