News From The Six Realms #3 - Update, Jobs, and More
🕑 Added 2017-05-17 09:39:31 +0000 UTC Hello all, it is that time of the week again, so here's the latest news from the six realms. :)Just got a few things left to code and test, and then the backer release will be out. I haven't received the templates from Keidi yet, but I'm not going to hold it up for those, instead I'll put up a very minor update when I get them to add the pseudo-random sprites for spies (this will not trigger a public release of the previous version).
As mentioned last week, the focus of the update following this one will be increasing the size of the map. Nicc is currently looking into ways to make coding maps less time intensive to save time in the future, as well intelligent ways to randomize resource locations to contribute to replayability. DM is beginning work on QA, primarily to balance the game to this point, and build a stable platform for later balance work. We'll also have to add some new events to compensate for the size increase, so I've commissioned Nonesuch again to help out with that. Once this is done, we'll start developing vertically and moving the week count forward again.
Which brings us to.... Jobs. Jobs will become available following the completion of the second objective (after week 22). For those of you who don't know, jobs are part of a light management system that allows you to assign core NPCs (at the moment, Alexia) to certain parts of the castle in exchange for passive bonuses. These will also trigger related events at the end of the week, some of which will be unique, and some repeatable to keep workload manageable.
The first two jobs that will be available for Alexia will be Maid and Research Assistant. The first will see her working under Jezera, whose corrupting influence may lead to Alexia becoming one of her agents, while the second places her in the employ of Cliohna, and could lead to the development of magical talents. Future updates will allow Alexia to work in different parts of the castle, each offering new events and different development paths.
Finally, the new CG poll is going strong with over 50 votes already. It is quite close at the moment, and I'll be announcing the chosen scenes at the end of the week.

Good stuff, it will be nice to see Alexia take a more active role in the game.

It is not so much sluttification as using sex as a weapon, but there will be more slutty paths. :)

I surely have to play both ways as I really cannot decide which way I prefer. The way of magical awakening or the way of sexual slutification.
Making her into a mage is gonna be awesome!
Lord Arioch
Yeah, one of the planned jobs is working at Indarah's tavern, don't worry. :)

By giving Alexia the possibility to become a tavern wench/barkeep/whatever you wanna call it you could make a whole heap of events there. Possibly where you could make the biggest amount of events

And assign Alexia to Cla-min's caravan herself...

I assign Cla-min's daughter to Alexia/my room.
