What I'm Working On NEXT Week & An Announcement (Patreon)

Decided to make this one public due to a big announcement. Which I'll save for the end as I always do. #QuitTeasingUsRoy

Tier Updates

Some very small tweaks to the tiers were made this week. Wanted to update those to align with To Be A King's eventual release schedule. To Be A King .4 is now available to the $3 tier, and new releases will be available to that tier 10 days after the release of new episodes ($5/month and up get it on release). Don't forget that you can grab To Be A King .1 for free for PC & Mac.

As I've stated previously, I want this to be as accessible as possible, while still also moving towards enough support that I can go full time with this. Higher tiers will get you access to special items, like the comics, but are mostly just there if you are able and have the desire to support more (or get a completely custom render). So tell your friends, because every little bit of support gets me closer to being able to go full time on this, and it will take a lot of supporters to make that happen. You'll get weekly posts like this one, if you're a patron, just letting you know a bit about what I'm working on for the week.

To Be A King Improvements

The female models for To Be A King have been updated, and I've done some pretty significant environment updates. I still need to update the male models and the rest of the environments, so I hope to wrap that up very soon. It's not that To Be A King looked bad before, but a lot of the textures up close weren't the best. I really noticed that as I started doing some 4K renders. I'm not going to go back and redo episodes 1-4 at this time. Once the game is finished, I do plan to go back and get those updated. For now, it will be a bit of a jarring jump from episode 4 to episode 5 (when that is released) with the environments, but hey, that's what getting better means here.

Announcement

If it wasn't obvious from the To Be A King improvements, work on To Be A King has officially resumed.

The story is also undergoing some changes (nothing that requires reworking previous episodes, thankfully). I'm in the midst of that rework now. Mostly moving things around, and adding some scenes that were cut before to keep the game releases shorter. 

I've got some big plans for additional quests and background content, but that is all being worked out now. I'm not ready to announce anything until I'm sure I can do it (code it and have it make sense and not clutter up the game too much), and that I'll have time to do it without adding a lot of extra time to release development. There is going to be extensive playtesting before that happens. More will be revealed as development continues.

There is no ETA for To Be A King's next release. It will be released when it is done. But know that I'm now working on that most days now for at least a little bit. I did not expect to be back on this so soon, but some interesting ideas for where I take things and how I balance out LI content has my mind going. Also Valentina keeps yelling at me asking where the next release is.

Thank you to all the new folks who have joined up! Valentine's renders drop tomorrow.
