One big area I've heard many of you mention, correctly, is that animations are a significant missing part of To Be A King. I'm happy to report that the second part of Volume 2 will include animations with that new content. I hunkered down and spent some time working on the process to produce animations, and I'm pretty pleased with early results. I am not sure about adding them to previous chapters, as that would require reworking all the art in each chapter, given that I've changed quite a bit in my software and processes since those chapters were produced.
On my Twitter account you can find some of the test animations I produced, if you are interested. I am still continuing to get comfortable with that whole process and improving my techniques, but it feels good to know those will be included going forward. Their production will add a bit to development time, but I'm hoping to bring down how long those take over the next few releases.
Other than that, there have been some nice workflow improvements that will help me add more content to each release without extending development time significantly. This next part needed a lot more prep work, mostly in terms of better mapping out the remainder of our story for several characters, but things are looking good for the future.
That's all for now. I'll leave you with a couple of recent special renders I did to test out things like new environments and clothing. Have a great fall season!

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.
