Empire of Heroes - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ). (Patreon)

Q: Who is the main character?

A: The main character is a blonde guy named Alex Grand, at the start of the game you'll be able to change his name if you want to.

Q: What are his superpowers?

A: He doesn't have superpowers, he's part of 3% of humans that were born without superpowers. These people are considered "special" in this world.

Q: If he doesn't have superpowers, how will he fight villains?

A: He's been training to become a hero ever since he was a kid, he's really smart and have great knowledge about superpowers and hero/villain culture. Plus, he'll have the help of technology at his side. There are lots of tokusatsu influence in this game, if you played the beta you'll get what I'm saying.

Q: Will he have powers in the future?

A: I can't answer questions about the future, everything I can say about the story it's either public knowledge inside the game's world or stuff that have already appeared on a publicly released game build. For example, I can't say Prime Girl's real name yet, because that's not public knowledge in the game's world nor have it been revealed in the game yet. But I can say that Bloody Countess's name is Elizabeth Battory because everyone knows that in the game's world, since her powers are unique to her family it's basically impossible to hide her real identity from the public (I also had already revealed this in her introduction post).

Q: Is the game harem?

A: Instead of saying the game IS harem, I'll say the game HAS harem. As the player, you will be able to romance every main girl in the game and build a relationship with them. These relationships are VERY important to the main story, but if you wish to follow only the heart of one girl, you can! Though, remember that you can still lose a girl if you treat her poorly.

Q: Will the game have NTR/Sharing?

A: There are no plans for NTR content. Disclaimer: There may be adultery themes related to other characters outside of the main character's social circle, like for example: "You have to investigate the case of a man who killed his cheating wife".

About sharing, maybe during a threesome (choice dependent) the girls can caress each other. Every NSFW scene will depend on the player's choice.

Q: Will the game have incest content?

A: No.

Q: What about other tags, kinks and future NSFW content?

A: I don't like talking about content that are not publicly released yet, but I can say there will be lots of different kinks and adult tags. This game is very romance focused so don't expect something too hardcore. At most BDSM and some rough sex, depending on the girl. Some girls are more vanilla than others.

This image are my roles on a AVN focused Discord server, it tells you about a lot of stuff I like. You can use it as a rough reference for the game's content 😛

Q: Will a character with X superpower appear in the game?

A: I'm a huge superhero fan, so you can bet almost every flavor of superpower, superhero and supervillain will appear in this game. Almost every trope too. This game is a love letter to the genre after all.

Q: Will there be animations?

A: Yes. Mostly for sex scenes. I want to make action scenes like comic books, with still frames and scene composition, so my plans at the moment are to leave animations for NSFW scenes.

Q: Will there be a gallery in the game?

A: Yes, there will be a gallery system in the game where you will be able to see all special renders and NSFW animations in-game.

Q: Will the MC be able to become a villain or anti-hero?

A: No, the whole game's structure depends on the MC being heroic. To change that, I would need to basically remake the whole game from scratch. Having said that, it doesn't mean the MC is dumb or naïve, he may play stupid sometimes but he's actually very smart. He grew up looking up to heroes that inspired him to be good, heroic, gentle and honored, but he's no saint.

Q: Will the game have multiple routes or multiple endings?

A: There will be multiple endings, some good, some bad, some unique endings and more. About routes, this one is hard to explain, but not necessarily multiple routes, but let's say there will be some situations that can be solved in different ways depending on your choices.

Q: Will there be pregnancy?

A: Pregnancy is a very important element in one of the storylines in the game, so yes.

Q: Will there be corruption, mind breaking or any related content?

A: There will not be non-con or any illegal content in the game. Unless we're talking about villains robbing a bank, then there's technically "crimes" being committed, but there won't be any romanticized or sexualized crime in the game.

Q: Will there be an Android port for the game?

A: I have plans to make an Android port for the game starting with Episode 1.

Q: Who did Bloody Countess's tattoos?

A: Technically, I did it. But, if you're asking inside the game? A female tattoo artist from her personal storyline.

Q: What do you mean when you say "personal storyline"?

A: All main girls have a main storyline that you'll be able to interact by simply playing the game and a personal storyline that you can only interact if you romance them.

Q: Why are you calling your first release "Episode 1"?

A: The game's story is told like a TV show, with seasons and episodes. So think about the Prologue (Beta) as a Pilot Episode, in TV a Pilot is often used as the 1st episode and as a proof of concept to see if the show has potential. I'm treating my Prologue (Beta) as a Episode 0 and then when Episode 1 releases this will be considered the actual release of the game. Right now, the beta is like a proof of concept. I've read dozens of feedbacks and so far it seems like the majority of people were positive about it, so that makes me happy.

Q: Do you have the whole story planned or are you making it on the fly?

A: Empire of Heroes is a story I wrote years ago, I'm basically adapting one of my personal stories into a AVN. Of course I'm changing a lot of things because there's a lot of stuff from the original story that wouldn't go well in a AVN game. So basically, I already have the major story all planned, the thing I'm doing is "converting" this story into an actual script for a visual novel game. I'm also expanding and improving the world and the characters. Everything will be much more flashed out.

Q: Can I read the original story?

A: That would be a little hard to do, some parts of it are only inside my head and the rest is written in a very personal way that I don't dare publish for others to read.

Q: Why you're making/remaking so many special renders?

A: There's a couple of reasons for that. I'm improving the visual quality of the game, I'm practicing my rendering skills and I'm creating assets that will be useful for the game, both in and outside. Outside because I can use those renders as promotional renders to showcase the game and the girls for people around the internet, and inside because I use an Eyecatch system for scene transitions just like some old anime tv shows. Practicing my rendering skills means I can pump more detailed renders in a shorter amount of time, this is great for development. I used to take around 2 hours to make one special render, now I'm able to do one in half an hour, as I did with the Red Hot special render from this post.

Q: Will you remake the Prologue for Episode 1?

A: Technically, yes. The Prologue (Beta) was a prototype so I'll update it to better reflect the current quality of the visuals. That's why I've put a disclaimer in the Prologue (Beta) about things not being final and anything could change.

Q: Does that mean you will go back and remake old content every time you update the visuals?

A: No, after Episode 1 releases I won't go back to remake old content, unless it's something very buggy or some grotesque and very impactful error that I didn't notice before.

Q: Do you have a team, or are you a solo dev?

A: I'm a solo dev, I do the writing, rendering and coding all on my own.

For now that is all, if new frequent questions appear I will edit this post and add them to it. If I forgot something please comment below.

I will make a standalone post for Red Hot's special render with wallpapers (both SFW and NSFW).
