This week we managed to get a good amount of progress! Not only are the assets for the apartment are done, I also finished both animations which will be released next week!
While I don't have much to share in terms of quantity of content, doing animations always takes quite a while and the only part left now is to implement them in godot which will be done this week!
If you're interested to see what I'm working on or see what i'm currently playing, you can hop in on picarto, I stream most days (save for when there's a lot of writing to do lol)!
Hi Red, will there be any more future updates on Palestra?
BalasPadamNo, palestra has been completed a little while ago ;)
PadamHi, Redflash, I have a few questions.
BalasPadamFirst, in DDC Mugen, Cervius was able to impregnate guys and become pregnant by them himself. In Palestra, he mentioned that he still has that ability, and in DA, in Aeren’s Affinity final scene too. Does that mean that in future updates we might be able to have children from Cervius and his harem?
Second, when I was looking at the Conquest map, I noticed a huge number of provinces with dimensional rifts — definitely more than thirty. Are you really planning to create that many worlds, or will most of them be without recruitable characters and major standalone storylines?
Third, this one isn’t about DA: once development on DA is finished, are you planning to continue working on White Blade, or perhaps remake it? I really loved Clef’s story, but the ending of Palestra left quite a few questions unanswered and even added some new ones.
Fourth, also not about DA: when you mentioned that you were planning to make another game that, unlike the others, would be SFW, you said it would have mechanics somewhat similar to Pokémon. Aren’t you worried that Nintendo might come knocking?
Fifth, and this is partly about DA: in DDC, if you play as Cervius against Cervius and use Mind Throne on him, he fantasizes about Clef, and in Palestra he also shows a considerable amount of interest in him. If Cervius had to choose between Clef and Zaphiel, whom would he choose?
1- It's something I wanted to keep around, but I don't think I'll explicitly make an offspring for Cervius in DA. It may not be possibly I'll do it, but it's not quite planned atm.
Padam2- There definitely aren't that many rifts on the map haha, there should be about 10 rifts on the map. Not all of them will have as many characters as the current rifts either. As we progress through the game, we'll most likely have less characters per world as when starting the game, you need to buffer up the roster with characters to make certain things work properly like the castle workers.
Currently, Whiteblade is on hold but I'd like to revisit it one day. We're currently looking at making another entirely different game with another universe to try something different than usual.
The base game is SFW but we plan on making a NSFW DLC so we can split the NSFW from the SFW (quite a few reasons for that) but the DLC should also be available to anyone on the lower tiers on patreon (maybe even just the 1$ tier since people need to get the game first). As for the mechanics, there are plenty of games around that do pokemon-like (corromon, nexomon, cassette beast to name a few) You do have to avoid certain mechanics but i'm already aware of that and should be fine.
Zaphiel definitely, Clef is a bit special to Cervius due to other reasons but Zaphiel is his "soulmate".
