In the last poll, it was asked which Legend of Queen Opala game had the best ending, with 871 votes gathered!Legend of Queen Opala (LoQO)
Won by 52%, being 459 of the votes.
Legend of Queen Opala II (LoQOII)
Lost by 47%, being 412 of the votes.
So, that is one the original game actually won for once!
Sure, it was close, but hey, you take what you get! xD
And this week I have a new expression to share, Osira - Normal Expression.
The wicked sister who is always looking to obtain the throne of Egypt and rule as the Queen.
Of course, Opala and Farah will come in the following weeks!
As for the beta, the huge scene I've been whining about for weeks, the one with 12 outcomes, is now finally and fully completed with everything added and all variations finished...included the extended scene that'll be available with the next beta version, whenever that might be!
Still have to work on finishing the remaining areas in the next region after Highland Pass though, I think it might be the last region too for episode 1 as it would make for a good stop point between episodes as the game already has 27+ locations to explore and I could use the remaining time to just add content to the places available so far.
The rest of the story for the episode is also all planned out in my head and just needs to be added to the game. :3
It really is way too early to say, but if I had to take a wild guess...
I'd say Legend of Queen Opala: Origin - Episode 1 could see a January release, early next year.
But that's all for this week!
Osira's looking mighty fine there. Whoever is doing these portraits did a really great job capturing her character.
ReplyDeleteHe isn't cheap, but he does fantastic work. ^^
DeleteWow a January release, that would be fantastic. Thanks Gab for all your hard work :3
ReplyDeleteI try! :D
DeleteThe LoQO1 endings were very good indeed.
ReplyDeleteAs for the emoticon, it reminds me the one from LoQO1 which I prefered over the one in the second game. It looks very good.
I'm glad to hear it. ^^
Deleteanyone got any hints on the legendaries? i've only gotten the werewuffie one.
ReplyDeleteOh, there are more in the previous beta. ;3
DeleteWow, I don't mean to come off as sarcastic but I was not expecting you to say January as D-Day for LOQO:O
ReplyDeleteMy hat's off to you Gabe, you must have really been working your ass off. You deserve every moment of glory.
Actually seeing Osira has reminded me of something, Young Farah is in the present, so she can in theory go to Narmaria and see Kai, or even more crazy go to Egypt and as the old saying goes: "Go fuck herself". She can be the honourary 3rd royal daughter.
January is only the earliest month I can aim for, but at the same time, I can't afford to delay the game much more beyond that since both the budget would run out, and I also need to take into account the time it'll take to crowdfund episode 2 before/if I get those money as well. :)
DeleteHehe, quite true, though I have my own theory I'll be adding to the game on what happens when past/present/future versions of yourself meet with...yourself. x3
Would it be the Guardian of Time from the first game making a reappearance?
DeleteHah! Kinda forgot about that guy...but wasn't he defeated? x3
Deleteeven if he was it can all be solved with some jolly time-travelling, surely.
DeleteThat's wicked news!
ReplyDeleteLove this artist, and it does look like loqo1 ones :)
Only wish that it would be more lowed down so i can see the boobies :P Tease!
Hehe, sorry. ;3
DeleteJanuary release? No, please take your time, Gabe. This episode has to be good enough for episode 2 to reach all the stretch goals, am I right? So maximum awesomeness you can put into it :D
ReplyDeleteBut at the same time, I can't start the Episode 2 crowdfunding until I've finished the first one, and the crowdfunding phase is like four months...so I can't wait too much or I'll run out of money. x3
DeleteOsira #1, hope she plays a big part with the hero
ReplyDelete:D
Deleteoh that Osira, this portrait really captures her character, i feel so enchanted that'll kneel down and lick her feet right away xD
ReplyDeleteDon't give her any ideas... xD
DeleteAs a guy that tossed down a fair chunk of change on the offbeatr campaign I have to say that I'm ecstatic with the quality of the beta, the size (I assume) episode one will be, and the speed at which you've cranked it out.
ReplyDeleteI've spread quite a lot of money around on various smutty game projects the last year or two and of all the games I've backed I'm the happiest with this one.
If you keep this quality of work up I'll keep throwing my monies at you. Thanks again for all your hard work Gabe.
On a side note, is it possible to finish Laquadia's Fan quest in the current beta?
It's been possible to finish that since the first beta where you could get the lockpick
DeleteThank you very much, that really means a lot to hear. :)
DeleteHopefully I'll only gain more followers and get even bigger budgets between episodes and crowdfundings, rather than losing them... xD
But yeah, I can really make much more progress on the games now when it's basically my job and I devote nearly all my time on it. :D
Just don't force yourself. We definitely prefer a complete game that is your standard quality, which is very excellent for what is technically a one woman show with a lot of outside (read: hired) help.
ReplyDeleteOh, I intend to cut nothing! If anything, this first episode is more packed with content than the whole first game. x3
DeleteOsira is my favorite for sure, her dark seductress looks and the fact that she spreads for monsters is really hot. Hopefully she gets a lot of content and monster sex! Make sure the artists remember her boobs are bigger than Opala's!
ReplyDeleteAre other characters, like Layla going to be getting portraits too? (Yumm, Layla is so fine)
Hehe, Osira used to be the least loved out of the three, but maybe her popularity is growing these days as her dark schemes fails. xD
DeleteAnd yes, two more portraits are on the way - Layla and Illumi. ^^
Yay the first one won! xD Woooo!
ReplyDeleteI know, right!? XD
DeleteCan't wait to play episode 1. I wonder how long it will take to play through it sounds like so much content :D.
ReplyDeleteAvoiding all battles, optional locations, side content, skipping text and speedrunning for the end...I think the game would still be 1-2 hours, minimum! ^^
DeleteYay Osira^^ Her poor ass will probably be really sore after some time, but she will take it like the dark empress she is xD
ReplyDeleteI also think it is a good plan to flesh out the current locations a bit more I cant wait to go on the search for secrets and more dialogue ^^
The endings in both games were really good, but the first one had a bit more "character involvement" xD The second one was a really good story ending though and had some hidden bad ends too which I liked for the scenes but I like the characters too much to do that to them T.T
I hope you have fun creating it too Its really awesome how you managed to make such a big scene I bow to you^^
Hehe, thank you very much! x3
DeleteIt's made by an artist named Seth, from PixIV. :3
ReplyDeleteSeth is one of my top5 artists, you made a good choice.
ReplyDeleteHope to see more of his art on the CGs of the game, and also more TRUE CGs rather than random static images :P
Glad to hear it! Sadly, Seth is a very busy and expensive artist. x3
