Latest patch which fixes problems with a few events that were not triggering. You should be able to get the double cock plug from Dzazd now and a couple of other things which will move the story forward. Because some people are past the point where you should have received the double cock plug, there is a temporary patch in there which may mean that you get it twice!

And now the temporary patch has been patched as it stopped people starting a new game!

New Release

New release as promised last week is here:

As mentioned, it has some new scenes for Kitaxxa and Dzazd by JClyde and Malo. Also Elynda has dropped off a couple of wonderful new images which you may spot as you play things through with Zarielle.

As mentioned, there is a limited time only luck slider in the card game options screen. Mornox has made some interesting observations and I will be incorporating luck and some strategy changes in teh coming weeks.

We are 6 weeks into the year and there is still so much to do.
I hope you enjoy playing with the luck slider.

Weekly Update

We are going through a bit of a slow phase at the moment. I have not been able to devote as much quality time to the project as I have wanted. The artwork is progressing, but not as quickly as I had hoped, still we are making progress.

In the last week, I have incorporated more Dzazd and Kitaxxa artwork into the game and you will see that in the next release.

I have also been working on implementing one of the comments which I have called "Luck".

As you will have experienced, there is a significant amount of luck associated with the game, with the turning over of the top card in your turn (and theirs). You may get a good one and you may get a bad one. You have no control.

"Luck" ranks all the cards in the deck according to benefit to you. If you have a "Luck" of 1, you get the next one up from the one you would have gotten. "Luck" of 4 and you get the 4th better in the rankings.

I will be putting Luck in the next release as a slider on the options pane for people to play with. It won't stay there and will be factored in elsewhere for when you overwhelm an opponent attribute wise.

Here is a shot of a game that I just played with a "Luck" of 4.

You might noticed that the deck looks strange. That is because when Luck is in play, cards get dealt from random places in the deck. I was going to fix it, but I may leave it as an indicator that Luck is involved.

All being well, there will be a new release next weekend.

After this, I will be focusing on:

1. making sure the game plays all the way through to Redeeming The Empress;
2. finishing off all the scene descriptions for the artists;
3. working on some of the art work myself;
4. fixing bugs and incorporating suggestions.

Last Patch for a little bit

It has been a frantic week or so chasing a lot of bugs and getting them patched. For the next little bit I am going to be working on getting some of the recently completed artwork into the game. Unless there is something really wrong with the following patch, I will not put out another one before releasing 1.6.0 which will be a full download. My aim is to get that out in about 2 weeks.

So without further ado, here is the 1.5.14 patch:  http://www.mediafire.com/download/73b21egs3el0y47/ROCER1.5.14-P-all.zip

Aside from fixing bugs, I have added the Unpregnant button in the stats screens in case you get someone pregnant you shouldn't like Tanzy and Mel. These will have bad ends attached to them at some point, but at the moment, it leaves you in limbo.

Enjoy and please do let me know about the bugs you find and suggestions/comments are always welcome.

First Public Alpha Release

Here it is. This is the first public Alpha Release of Redemption of the Crimson Empress Part 2.

What to expect:

• Bugs, bugs, and more bugs.
• Lots of stuff that is not fully tested.
• Less than 10% of the artwork and lots of placeholders.
• The full story, if you can find a path through it with encountering a fatal bug.
• Spells
• Pregnancy

NOTE: Saves are not fully backwards compatible so you will need to start a new game!!! (It will seem like it works, but it doesn't)

I will try to avoid doing so, but you may well hit bugs which mean you cannot complete the game without starting over after a patch comes out.

Bug Reports, Comments, & Suggestions are always welcome.

Patch is here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/vbvl7v7py9bxwdy/ROCER1.5.10-P-all.zip

1.5.10 was badly broken sorry. In fixing one bug created another. The follow patch fixes both.

Weekly Update

Well, it has been another busy weekend with a good few hours of coding, fixing bugs and a small enhancement to the scoring.

We are in a good position for a public release next weekend at present. You should get an hour or two of play in before you hit a bug that you cannot get past.

Someone asked if they could still contribute now that the crowd funding has closed. We don't really have a mechanism at the moment, but if you are interested please send me an email (oncardam at gmail.com). If it is a small number of people, we can probably work something out with Gift Certificates from Renderosity for our artists. It has the advantage that we get use of 100% of what you give us. Offbeatr and financial institution charges took a good 30% of our crowd funding money. :(

Have a great week. :)

Weekly Update

Just a short one this week. I have been focused on the next test release this week and am still working on it. Sadly my summer vacation is almost over, but the good news is that the release is almost ready for the test group. I hope to get it out to them today. I all goes well, you will see it in a week or two.

A Happy and Prosperous New Year to all.

Cheers, Oncardam.
