Thought I'd drop a quick update here on development progress for the next Steam DLC release. It is going to be packed with new content, and it will probably be another case of this next DLC being as large as everything that came before it. We are getting into the thick of it with alliances, war preparations, and lots of political intrigue.
I've been very hard at work on all sorts of things, including improving my animation skills so that I'm able to include those in the next DLC. It has been quite the chore to ensure that I'm keeping track of everything properly with all the various branches, but I feel like I have a very good handle on that now. Other than that work, I've been improving my workflow and fixing a lot of little issues remaining from the render engine switch. Speaking of that switch, boy is it paying dividends. Not only are animations easier, but render setup times and render times overall are greatly improved. There is no way I'd be able to include everything I plan to over the remainder of the game without those.
As far as release dates for the next DLC and beyond, I am not even going to get into promising anything. Not only do I fail miserably every time I estimate, but there are some big things that need to get done that will be a test of my skills. My focus right now is on delivering an excellent story that you enjoy finishing until the end. There is a lot of content left to produce and refine, especially with all the various branches that are in the game now. I still have a few remaining love interests to finish introducing or wrapping up their initial story, and that doesn't get into all the things I have planned for the existing ladies. There will be four chapters in the Volume 2 - Part 2 DLC release, and I'm estimating several thousand static renders and many dozens of animations for it.
I'll be posting periodically here (every few months or so) to keep you all updated so you know I didn't get hit by a bus or anything. You can follow me on Twitter for regular renders, previews, and other news. Thank you all so much for being fans, and I'll leave you with a few recent special renders.

Three recent assassination attempts have left the entire kingdom on edge. Are you entering a greater position of power during a time where your role can be solidified? Or will you be swiftly removed as the kingdom continues to unravel? Throughout your time, you'll learn more behind who really controls power in the kingdom, uncover plots against it, and have many opportunities for romance. As the kingdom experiences turmoil, alliances that seemed stable are quickly shattered, and everyone seems to be out for themselves. Do you have what it takes to make the right decisions and emerge as king? Throughout the game you have choices in who to ally with, which women you want to pursue, and what extra side stories you want to pursue. This is a harem game where you can have all the women, one, or none.
As an interactive adult visual novel, you can choose your own adventure. You'll get to make choices that influence how other characters respond to you and what happens in the story. Set in an alternate history where the Roman Empire continued, though under a different name, you will face significant challenges, but can emerge victorious.
