Lukestria Family update progress v0.8 (Patreon)

Hey, brothers!Your Dungeon Master here!

A mid-week report, because I’m just too hyped about this update!

I’ve wrapped up Maya’s route as well, with you choosing how to deal with the drama tied to her backstory that connects with yours long before you two even met. If you pay attention, at the very beginning of the game, before you even meet Maya, you actually get a Relationship point with her if you decide to execute the bald guy in the forest. Yep, an early hidden easter egg. That’s the good thing about having the story outlined from the start: it allows me to play around with these details. And that’s not the only time you can gain Relationship points with her without even meeting her. I won’t say more though, to avoid spoilers for those who haven’t gone through Maya’s story yet.

Besides Maya, I also added an event with Jena to lighten things up a bit and break the tension in the story. But if you’re on Maya’s route, you won’t get Jena’s event. I’ve mentioned this before, but every single event in the game comes with 2–3 variations depending on your actions.

“What does that mean, Cas?”It means you only get one version of each event based on your choices. So if the update adds, let’s say, 5 new events for you, in reality the update actually contains 10–15 events total, thanks to all the branching variations. Pretty cool, right?!

I’ll also show my draft for the last few city map locations I’ll be adding. Lots of Stages for lots of fights, because things are about to get wild as the conflict between the families moves toward its conclusion!

Speaking of Stages and maps: depending on which Stage you clear or which map you conquer, there will also be new variations of events. A good example is the beach event with Isa or Meana. If you don’t run into them in a certain map and trigger the dialogue about the beach (not saying which one, no spoilers), the beach event simply won’t happen.

Yep, everything you do in Lukestria Family reflects on how the story unfolds for you. I had originally planned for multiple endings, but I left that decision to you guys, and you voted for a single true ending. So that’s what I’ll deliver. Still, I’m toying with the idea (no promises) of doing a little “post-credits” sequence, kind of like Fallout, where you see the outcomes of your most important and impactful choices on the world.

Without further ado, here’s where we’re at...

Update progress: 50%

Have a wonderful day!
