OMG, OMG, OMG we got $1,500 in pledges in the last 12 hours of the Crowd Funding putting us over the top. I am still in shock.
A huge chunk of thanks goes to our Platinum Sponsor Randomguy664. Also a huge chunk of thanks to Gold Sponsor Mornox who was watching when a pledge was cancelled in the dying minutes and got us back above the goal.
Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou to everyone who pledged. We won't let you down.
The team is now getting on with planning things to make best use of the money that has been entrusted to us.
$20+ sponsors should now have their Visual Novel. If you are having problems downloading it, let me know and I will give you an alternate download address. IE's Smartscreen seems to be objecting to it for some of us, but it likes the identical version on my Dropbox?!
Apologies to the $100+ sponsors. I am still getting your first version ready. I am trying to nail the instant win bug first.
What was on the mind of the immortal Blue Guardian when she brought you, a strange round eared human from a parallel universe, into the world of the Crimson Empress of Eldara?
Redemption of the Crimson Empress is a single player standalone adult game in the Japanese Futanari (hermaphrodite) style with aspects of solitaire, an rpg/sim, and a visual novel. It is built on the Renpy game platform, has an original story line and original 3D rendered art work.
Holy shit you did it! :D Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteyay ^^
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for everybody! For you because you achieve the goal for funding your project, and for us because we will enjoy your work. Hey, can't wait to see it ;)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteThat was one epic save! XD
So, approximately how far along are you? Is it mostly the art and writing which needs to be done? At least judging from Part 1 most of the mechanical groundwork seems to be in place.
You are right, most of the mechanical work is done. On that site I still need to do some of the spells that I have been talking about, rework the save system (I want to give you the option of naming checkpoints yourself), and the event system is only lightly tested. In the cheat version which as a Gold Sponsor you will see soon, you will see the Peek and Undo functions from the spells that I have already done.
DeleteThe main storyline is scripted from start to finish, but some of side stuff still needs to be done, like what happens if you get a critical character pregnant at the wrong time. They won't be there to help you when you need it.
Some people have commented that I don't do enough with the dialog in the sex scenes. I will be looking at what I can do to improve those and looking for someone to help out with that.
Mostly though, it IS the art that needs to be done. You have seen nearly all of what we have done for Part 2.
What I have to do now is write briefs for the artists on what is needed for each sequence, send them out and see what we can get within the budget.
After that, there will be play testing. Part 2 will be more difficult to test and to get the right game balance. Not too easy and not too hard will be the challenge.
First of all congrats and thanks for all who helped with founding the project. You are all awesome. Fantastic!
DeleteSecondly, that all sounds really great Oncardam, I'm happy to see the progress. I just started to play part 1 again and can't wait to see what part 2 will look like. I wasn't this excited since Bioshock Infinite came out :D
A question: you say Bailey can make people pregnant. Will there be a choice to do it or is it just story progress and influenced by the score of the current koi koi?
Also, I'm not any good with making graphics or anything, but if you'll need help with testing I'd love to help (I'm sure everybody tells you this :P ).
Once more, I'm really really happy you got the money for it. Keep up the fine work!
Wow, I hope we can live up to your expectations. :)
DeleteOn the pregnancy question, Bailey will be able to make anyone pregnant pretty much. It will be a percentage chance thing, modified by some factors that you will discover in the game including various potions.
Getting some people pregnant will be beneficial and others not so, so you will need to keep track of the plot line.
I will put you down for the alpha test team. :)
I'm sure you will :)
DeleteWhat I meant is can you choose to "fuck somebody with/without protection" or is it predetermined by the story. So can I mess up the whole game if I want and have a bad ending or is it a more linear thing?
Hehe, cheers :P
Yes, you can choose who you try to fuck when with/without protection and yes there are bad ends if you get it wrong. :)
DeletePart 2 is not linear like Part 1. Things open up when you clear dependencies. To do A, you first need to do B and C. B depends on D, E & F. C depends on E and G. And so on.
Sounds absolutely awesome. Thanks for the answers. Now I'm even more excited :D
DeletePart of me is curious what happens if you get the queen pregnant...I mean, no politics for a year, so plenty of time to charm her...but sort of awkward trying to keep the country running while that's going on. Maybe Turgomindus can play chancellor while you...comfort the Queen. Regularly. Several times a day.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to congratulate You, I'm really glad it worked out.
Take care :)
Hey Oncardam. Could I grab your header and put it into the thread on ULMF? Might help people get an idea about what the game looks like.
ReplyDeleteSure, grab it. You also have my permission to post selected images from the game if you wish. Try to keep it to teasers though, don't want to spoil for people who haven't played yet.
DeleteThere is also a full set of images up on g.e-hentai.org
We put that up to promote the game.
