Hi everyone!

Here’s the first of a series of devlogs that will chronicle the progress on the next chapter of Elven Kingdom (in the hope that the wait might be less frustrating, and as an opportunity for feedback also)

First, let me thank you all for the support and all the nice comments! It means a lot, especially after literal months of effort! EK has now smashed the 1000 download mark and I couldn’t be happier! Thank you also to the people who have contributed financially (rewards will start to be published soon, hehehe).

Now, to the future! Spoilers for Elven Kingdom, I guess?

The next chapter takes place in the Human city of Stonehold; as such, the plan is to make it a more ‘open’ chapter, with places that the player can visit in any order (from a map) rather than following a rigid path. To make it a little more interesting, I want to implement a morning/afternoon/night system also, so different things can happen at different times in different places.

I like to make it hard on myself, clearly!

The locations planned so far are:

• The Town Square (where you’ll encounter merchants and whatnot)
• The Drunken Bear Inn (which may or may not double as a brothel)
• The Temple’s court
• The Temple
• The Elven Spy HQ (where you meet your contact in the city)
• The Merchant Guild Mansion
• The Sewers

Now, not all locations are accessible at all times of day, but that should still provide some variety. There will be quests to pick up in most places (optional, I think?), and people to talk to, etc. As always, I'll try to make most characters spankers/spankable in some way!

Since Stonehold is a bit more metropolitan than the Elven Realm, we’ll encounter more varied races also, which should also be fun!

In terms of core gameplay mechanic, the goal is to find who the Spy is. I’d like to make that random so it’s more fun to replay (and there can be consequences for picking the wrong person!). You'll do so by finding underground contacts that will give you clues as to the identity of the Spy. 

So, that’s it for now, a glimpse of the scope! I’ll leave you with some character designs :)

Stay safe, everyone!
