This was more or less going to be used as a new feature for the next game, but between waiting for the last few Western Edition illustrations for the birthing/pregnancy system, the last record lines from a few of the voice actresses and spending days fixing/perfecting spellings...I decided to use some of the time to introduce the new feature for this game instead!
Property purchase, letting you buy and own every blacksmith, tavern, inn etc. in the game!
Different businesses also gives different bonuses, like free drinks, sleeping for free, increased stock and so on, so not just for show and/or personal satisfaction.
Way to be awesome, Gabe!
BalasPadamBy any chance you played Harem Collector? Very enjoyable little RPGVX game. Thats the rpg game in which i've seen investment system. I liked the idea there and I certainly would like to see it implemented in your game.
BalasPadamI'm unfamiliar with that game, I'm afraid.
PadamI've actually been playing Harem Collector recently to tide me over while F5-ing your blog hoping for a release :D
PadamIt's still a WIP, but the creator's blog is right here if you are curious: http://nomoshingsgames.blogspot.ca/
There already is a brothel you can pimp out Farah, Opala and Osira in...though I'm unsure if it'll be for sale. x3
BalasPadamThat is a really nifty mechanic! Can we purchase a share (or all of) the Guild of Heroes and their Arena?
BalasPadamThey're not businesses in the traditional sense...so I'm not sure what purpose it would serve to own them. x3
PadamPurpose? Convert the arena for Mud Wrestling featuring the female adventurers. Win-Win-Win.
PadamIn all seriousness, I figured you could at least get a cut of the coin the guild makes from memberships, a plaque on the wall, or have members address you as "Lord"
That's one hell of a work ethic you've got there.
BalasPadamYEEHAA you are the best swegabe, it's almost like monopoly ;3
BalasPadamJust when I think you can't get any more awesome than you already are, you go and prove me wrong. x3
BalasPadam0_0 Must begin farming gold. Immediately.
BalasPadamSpeaking of illustrations, I can't switch between western and eastern right?
BalasPadamYou select which one at the beginning of the game. then in new game plus you can play the other one and in new game ultra you should choose your favourite
PadamAh gez, I'm to far in to start a new game
Padamhow will the preg and birthing work in the game what affect will it have ?
BalasPadamIt doesn't really serve any purpose, its just a fun "little" detail for people to enjoy like the pimping mini-game. :3
PadamCool feature Gabe. Just a question about the "new stock" in shops. Will it be like how before shops near the starting house sold low level gear and now buying the store they will have the higher level stock of the later towns?
BalasPadamMore like how weapons and armor you could only craft, will become available to simply buy...with purchased blacksmiths, that is!
Padami always love when i can buy things and this just tipped it over the edge. i would so buy this game
BalasPadami like, be interest to own a caravan, or use your ship for trade on its down time, or be a trader yourself...just a feature i'd love to have, i think i suggested it to the harem collector guy as well...
BalasPadamThat's actually a revolutionary mechanic. I havn't even seen that system employed in any JRPG, so you should be very proud of that.
BalasPadamSo, does this property purchase feature include all towns, or just select towns or even a single one? (Like the Capital)
All towns, so even the tavern in Breeze Woods count. :3
PadamI always thought there was something strange about the Tavern in Breeze Woods. Like you could do more there...I might be wrong though. :P
PadamAlso, a quick question. Will buying properties unlock certain side-quests as well? And are there properties that you can only buy by finishing a certain side-quest for the owner of the building?
This isn't Fable, this is a RPG. ;)
PadamWatch out Lionhead Studios, shots have been fired. XD
PadamSo now Kai can become not only the hero of namaria but also Howard Hughes. I approve;)
BalasPadamIf the western edition illustrations dont come in time, will you put the eastern edition illustrations in both western and eastern playthroughs?
BalasPadamTo fill in the empty spaces in the western edition?
PadamThey will be there, I have outmost confidence in the artist.
PadamWould this include the farm next to your duchy, and the duchess' property next to yours once her quest line is completed?
BalasPadamis the download going to be on the blog
BalasPadamLooks very promising!
BalasPadamI have a question though. Should I wait till the full game comes out and start a new game then? Or will my Episode II save work with the full game?
I am pretty sure you have already answered it somewhere, but can't find it right now.
As far as we've heard you should be able to pick right up from your save file in EP2.
PadamShe has said you can use your episode 2 save, but might not be able to 100% the game due to changes in earlier parts of the game.
Padami am just going to restart from the begining ^_- make the most of the game fully
Padam1 more day wooohooo i cant wait hurrry up before i over medicate and sleep untill tommrow lol
what time is it out?
BalasPadamEarly February according to a post on deviantart
Padamnot to day?
PadamIf there is news out on diviantart and someone knows about it then why don't they do the community a favor and post a link to the page!?
PadamI looked on the DivantArt Legend of Queen Opala fan page and there is no other information that isn't posted here. So again, if someone has actually seen a post from the author then please post a link. Then again if the author actually had any intention of not releasing it today then she would have said so wouldn't she?

The post is on hentai-foundry. As I recall, Gabe still needs some voice acting and on or two pics for the western path. She don't know when those will be delivered, but I think she will post the game early february anyway.
PadamI can't find it anywhere in hentai-foundry...
Padami'd usually say to take all the time you need for the game, but considering i haven't fapped since you posted the last topic almost two weeks ago, i think i'm justified in saying.........plzhrry.
BalasPadamThe heck are you talking about, this very blog entry was made three days ago. xD
Padamlast meaning previous, as in "almost finished" on the 19th.
Padami fan of your game but I was disappointed when i play LOQO 2, it because the hero not jake anymore despite of that LOQO 2 still awasome game
