RELEASE POLL (FOR EVERYONE)!
RELEASE POLL (FOR EVERYONE)!
Hi everyone! So, a little background first: as you may know I'm currently working on what will be the backbone of Act Three in Corrupted Kingdoms: a fully-flesh-out combat system that will link into a "conquer" system, in which you can fight enemies to gain territory (or lose it!) whilst battling your way to the headquarters of the three enemy factions.
As you fight and free territory, new options, events and even characters will become available to you! For example, each district will have a "boss girl" in charge of it, and once you beat them, and conquer that district, you'll have a choice: will you use your Powers to bring them under your sway? Perhaps you'd prefer to make use of that dungeon you built in Act Two? Or maybe you don't like the way they're looking at you and you want to exile or execute them? You decide!
You will also be able to learn new fighting skills from the other characters you recruit, choose support characters to help you out, squad types to battle with, craft items, win through physical damage or seduction and much more.
What does this have to do with the poll, you ask?
Well, I'm currently about 90% of the way through the combat system. It's mostly feature-complete, but it's missing the "learn new skills" and "enemy AI" aspects. The conquer system is also still bare-bones and not ready for public testing.
What I'd like to do is take another week or two, get the combat and conquer systems fully feature-complete and release them all at once so people can really sink their teeth into both. However, I know it's been nearly two weeks already and I completely understand if everyone is getting impatient.
So I leave it up to you - all of you! You decide: should I release what I've got on Monday (Thursday if you're not pledged), wait one week to finish up the combat system properly, or two weeks to get both systems finished and released at the same time with proper combat and conquer content (the first four girl boss renders are done, but the system's not ready)?
Everyone gets a vote on this one, but you can only pick one option! Please make your voices heard so that while I'm working over the weekend I know whether to get everything ready for release or if I can focus on building the systems.
And sorry for the wall of text!
Head on over to PATREON or SUBSCRIBESTAR to vote!
It's 100% free and open to EVERYONE!

Pleaseee all scenes POV
Thank you for your constant enthusiasm and efforts!
Few people can take what they have done so seriously. I'm sure everyone agrees with that. Take care of your life first no matter what happens, and firmly believe that as long as you make progress,everything will be better than before. respect & love from China❤
I'm too late to vote in the poll, but it's fine because people seem to have made the correct decision, anyway. ;)
Still, you were asking players of HAREM games to only choose ONE option? Silly little Arc. :P
Take your time and don't forget to rest well
finish everything🗿take as much time as u need to finish the stuffs u want to do
(not a native english speaker so my english kind of sucks)
I rather have the finished system so take all the time you need! Even if it's a month it won't be a problem!
Go take a whole month (or two), just make sure nothing bites you in the ass
I personally have been waiting quite a while already until it looks like things are in a state that will make coming back nice.
Take your time to get things to where you want. It’s always better when there’s a nice amount of things to sink our teeth in.
Besides, with incomplete combat, it’ll probably be a bit confusing/tricky between carrying saves and maybe then wanting to roll things back once combat is fully in, etc… A partial release may end up quite messy
Also: I think what makes people twitchy a lot of the time is just not knowing. You’re always on top of comms so even through something like this, it’s already reassuring, as we know both that you’re working and what you’re having grief with.
I've said it before, and I will say it again. Take as long as you need to, we can all wait for this awesome content. It's the fact that you are still giving regular updates that really shows you are doing the most and the best you can. And I will be the broken record and say you should still take time for yourself and don't over work :P
with this update, we now really know how much you have been working on for this next bit, and how much content it entails. So it makes more sense that you take longer to hammer it all out and properly flesh it out before just throwing it to us to then have it all break and fall apart... rather have less bugs to report, yknow?
take all the time you need patience is a virtue
Take all the time you need, we are patient, damn take a month if you need to, knowing you, the reward for waiting will be huge.
Take your time and finish it up, I'm looking forward to how itll work and play out so I don't mind waiting at all for the whole thing to be ready
Finish everything first is my opinion. Better to have the two systems at once
with so many games not updating for months I don't think 2 or even 3 weeks will get many people twitchy. :)
Finish it first.
Releasing a story in small bits is fine, as you can release the rest later with no detriment.
Releasing a system that isn't finished is a very bad idea. Too many interlocking parts, and one error will often affect the whole. Take that week or two to make it good.
Def wait a week. Be proud of your work and really show off this tim
Awesome Idea dev. I was really interested in the game because there is an aspect where you can "have fun" with side girls that are not really part of the main act. Most of the games with similar gameplay only focuses on the main girls. I am thrilled on how you will portay these " boss girls" and thier characteristics. Cheers on future development on the game my guy.
Also, Dont rush the update, make it at your own pace. Its much more better if the game is made with dedication rather than being rushed.
Honestly, release them together when you feel their ready
would be awesome if your able to put a release on steam as well dunno about others but i primarily play on steam mainly check out VN's here to get some inspiration for story related content for the stuff i plan on working on since i suck at making up stories for basically anything/everything. BTW id gladly pay for this and a few other VN's on steam if there released there because steam is more trusted with my shit than any other site haven't had my info stolen there unlike other sites but i may end up supporting on patreon still wracking by brain over it
Wait, it seems to me the two systems are pretty well tied to each other. Why seperate the gameplay from the reward. Like having a maze but at the end it kicks you out into an empty parking lot xD
