Legend of Queen Opala: Origin - Bal'Rana

Ta-daaam, there be booty on the horizon!
Bal'Rana the Pirate Captain who've been around since the first LoQO game has now returned with an updated look, but still surrounded by terrible and stupid crewmen!
Not shown in the preview are her two guardian Saberwolves, Skulls and Bones.
I don't want to spoil learning more about her in-game, but let's just say things looked a little brighter between the events of LoQOII and LoQO:O before she met her match and crashed her second...or is it third? Anyway, crashed her newest ship on the coast of the Beldorian Empire where she set up shop. (The Boss Gem Shop!)

The location she appears in has been completed since last update as well, and I'm currently working on something I believe everyone will enjoy quite a lot...think the voiced only "scenes" in the first LoQO game, but now with sound effects and sprite animations to go along with it for some repeatable action. ;)
It's a lot of work fine tuning those sound effects so they are played in just the right frame and volume, but I think you may be able to experience at least teen Farah in this new feature being added to the next beta hitting my Patreon later this month.

And with d'aaargh, I'll see you next Tuesday!

  3. Arh, that'a grrrrrrrrreat news, matey.

    Hope the rest of her family is sticking around for this game as well? She may be a minor character, but people have been hoping for a full scene of that mother-daughter pair ever since the first game dropped. Plus the escape from her ship was simply among the funniest and hence most memorable scenes from the first game.

    1. The daughter will also be in the game, but it's too early to tell if she'll make an appearance in episode 3 or 4. :3

      Delete
    2. That's enough to console me.
      As long as she'll return, I'm happy.
      There's so much potiental backstory too since Za'Nina looks rather asian, while Bal'Rana is obviously caucasian. Than again, maybe Zel'Nina will get a race lift with the updated look?

      Would you take away the only character all those female asian fans of yours can identify with? ( ; ~ ;)

  4. Bal'Rana is back! My beautiful, boobiful red head with some booty! And booty has a double meaning!!!! XD

    She has an eyepatch now though, she's been through something D:

    As sad as it is, she's still beautiful and is now badass! Plus she's like captain red from mana world now.

    And the return of repeatable sex scenes with sprites!!! I'm so hyped!! Every thing you add to the game brings it that much closer to perfection. Thanks Gabe :)


    ......that cannon though......part of me hates the corniness of the joke. Part of me loves it because of the joke itself. I feel conflicted and must rethink my views.

    1. If I had to guess, the eyepatch probably resulted from a combination of released fluids and a really stewpit crewman with baaaad aim.

      Delete
    2. Yeah, the cannon tend to go off prematurely when Bal'Rana is fiddling around with it... ;P
      And don't worry about the eyepatch, something DID happened but it'll have that LoQO branded twist to it. x3

      Delete
    3. I trust the reveal of it will be awesome :)

      Delete
    4. A nearly fatal cumshot to the eye, no doubt... Poor girl.

  5. Considering her fate in LOQO II, her crew should be made up of the reject An'Terra that inherited her bumbling genes.

    I will say I preferred the old look, but I guess it's best you have your own characters rather than the default RPG Maker characters.
    Will Za'Nina be getting an update too?

    ReplyDelete
  6. She looks good. A good-looking MILF.

    Does it mean that you intend to introduce more female characters from the previous games in LoQO:O? Please, let it be yes.
    ༼ つ ಥ_ಥ ༽つ

    P.S.
    By the way, where's that guy with the survey on LoQO?..

  7. Fantastic idea. No need to commission and wait for more art, and all dem waifus get to be something more than generic, single dialogue line dispensers loitering around your castle.
    I'm confident in your personal sprite animations too, you've done an excellent job on conveying the... uniqueness of your characters through RPGMaker character sprites, and I've already seen some of said scenes (...shamelessly datamined in the game files)

    1. *Gasp* !!! How you could you?! Don't ruin the sanctity of Loqo games by data mining it for secrets!!!!!

      ......(shamefully gives $20 underneath the table)

      Now what else did you learn? I must know the extent of your snooping and prevent innocent bystanders from receiving spoilers.....

  8. So she is a land hoe now? Has bountiful booty? Massive treasure chests? A place where X marks the spot? All jokes aside will be told of why she has the stereotypical eyepatch that all pirate captains have?

    1. Be glad she doesn't have a parrot or it might peck your eye out WAAAAARK!!!!

  9. i wish if you animated all the cgs not crazy just to feel like is moving.

    Sorry if is this so random to say i just ask

    AWOSOME GAME KEEP IT UP

  10. Speaking of voices, how are things on the voice acting front? There are parts of the game that I expected to be voiced but aren't.

    ReplyDelete
  11. As much as I would love animations and stuff, please be carefull with it, RPG Maker games have a history of crashing with Animations...

  12. I guess I'm dissapointed a little, I believed that in LOQO:O I'll finally have her or her daughter (or both of them) as my personal cannon su... I mean, captain instead of some unknown qwerty. )
    But the idea with pirate gemstore sounds good, too, I'll be sure to visit it quite frequently! )

    1. That's actually a nice idea, to have them captain your own ship.
      I guess Gabe doesn't want to re-use the idea of sailing and exploring from LoQOII in Origin.
      Too bad, I like exploring, though I remember I was a bit disappointed after I finished it all.

      Also, is she going to have her trading cards? We're down to 3 slots missing, I assume one is Naluna.

      Delete
    2. I'd be happy if Bal'Rana had a bigger role in the game. Not necessarily the main story but the game. So piloting you ship or other things sounds awesome. Maybe she can be some kind of merchant for the protagonist apart from just boss gems. On top of all that, it'd be nice to get some scenes with her and the protagonist instead of just trading cards. Maybe in a future game she'll have a bigger role.

    3. To 0nymous,
      I'm pretty sure that there're gonna be more than just 3 new characters with trading cards.

      ...SPOILER...
      There're already 3 trading cards covers with females who are yet to be added the game: Kristallia, Naluna and Saphira.
      ...SPOILER...

      We also know about Roseus and Puta Bananas which means that the trading cards menu is apparently to be expanded.

      And I really doubt that they are the only female characters to appear later in the game.

  13. Were they pirate mom and daughter in LOQO II at some point besides the one time near the start of the game? I don't remember seeing them beyond the one time in the bar.

    1. Yub, you were eventually able to find out the reason for their sudden disappearence.

      *SPOILER*

      They were abducted into one of the caves you meet Latex in for the first time. A post main-quest side mission allowed you to rescue them after which they anounce their plans to head for the Beldonian Empire.

    1. Hmm, I used to to have a problem like that. But unfortunately I can't remember what fixed it. The only thing I can think of is that it sounds like you have a mega account. Try signing out of it if you do. Cause I don't have an account, I just click the link and download. Hopefully someone else has an answer for you. Try refreshing everything or restarting everything. Delete old downloads of Loqo Origins that you may have except for your most recent build.
