Future plans

Sincerely, I have left out the most dubious, since those require some hard planning. Firstly, I'll take care of mostly easy stuff: relatives screen (already in), repeatable quests,  threesomes/orgy (skipped because sex system is very different right now and I'm not exactly sure how I gonna work around this one), a lab (probably the hardest of the easy parts, as old lab was a nightmare already, now there's also gui involved) and small stuff like racial traits. Once I'm done with those, it will come down to the two worst parts: combat and exploration. I still have pretty vague ideas on combat, except that I want it to be interactive and proactive, with possibly making it so capture chance will be based on resource management and so on.

Exploration is a different story, though. What you can see now in game is a loose adaptation of the old system. And as I was working on it, it became obvious, that I don't like it enough and new engine can do so much better. So what I have on my mind, is a multiple hub-like areas, different towns perhaps, with different shops, quests, slave guilds and races around them. This will allow lots more of freedom, dungeons, quests, hunting for specific races and drops and so on. The problem, though, is that those areas need to be designed and balanced first, and by that I mean hell lot of writing. I'll probably start by adding 1-2 additional town-hubs and couple of areas near them as thankfully I have some ideas for those. 

Anyway, if you have any ideas/reports/wishes regarding current build, hit me up.

I must remind you, that there have been many changes in slaves behaviour and sex. You should be able to find some things explained in the Help button (located on resource panel). For those, who are new to the game, try reference this image, although I believe most gui is pretty intuitive. 

My current plan is to make alpha release until weekend. While I certainly would like to take some more time for further polishing and finishing stuff, I do feel that releasing something currently will benefit the game as people would be able to see how's it going and comment on it.

A word on origins and some thoughts on future platform

After some consideration I decided to change my approach to the backstories/origins for multiple reasons.

So far things go pretty well (development wise at least) and I finally got out of mansion. It seems semi-playable version will actually be released by the end of month, but you probably shouldn't expect too much from it (it IS semi-playable and if anything, my early versions tend to be quite buggy).

Self-building item list with descriptions, also basics for alchemy room laid out. I could really use someone who could draw set of icons though (possibly for a reward)...
