So the interrogation scene is over - yay? It's not as much of an interrogation, but there are a lot of variations that will happen later on in-game depending on choices made in these early scenes of deciding what happens with Lena.

I hope that 2023 will bring you lots of happiness. After 2022, things can only start to get better (hopefully!).

Chapter four has been updated to play!
Please restart the game - old saves will not work.

New to the game:
In this side story, learn more about Prince Irus' thoughts in the aftermath of Chapter 3. This story delves into the early events of Chapter 4 (which should be ready by the end of the week). I kept spoilers to the absolute minimum - nothing spoils the rest of Chapter 4 if you read the story.

In this side story, read about the experience of the MC's birth and how Ahlf responded to it. The MC is never referred to by gender or name. I have also kept the appearance of the infant MC very neutral with only descriptions of having wrinkled skin or a ruddy face from being born so feel free to...
2022-12-24 09:40:30 +0000 UTC View PostAfter much restless days and a lot of stressing, I finally finished chapter 4. There's a lot that I dislike about the chapter - mainly because a lot of interaction has been replaced with plot and action scenes that needed to be told.
I left out a few romance scenes at the end of the chapter...

Hello Patrons!
It's another week which means another weekly devlog. This week has been mostly spent on writing the romance scenes which were especially important for those who spent a romantic moment with their RO during the banquet. I can happily say that I finally completed the RO scenes....

I've just completed Elora's RO and friendship scenes and all that's left is to write Oren's scene. I'm taking a break from writing today - I've been writing non-stop from Sunday and while I am in a good flow of getting scenes out, I'm also feeling a little tired...

Hello Patrons!
It's almost halfway through December and it feels like only yesterday that I started Crown of Exile.
This week has been quite productive in terms of writing. I code as I write, so it usually helps speed things up. I've been busy with the family scenes (the early scenes ...

2022-12-09 08:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostThings are heating up in Chapter 4 - after the events of Chapter 3, you can imagine that there's not a lot of time to spend time with the MC's family. Luckily, you will get an opportunity to speak with them each before departing for Ishari.

As promised, here is a little sneak peek of an 'interlude' scene in Chapter 3. I was never happy with the flow of the chapter after visiting Zikar and the MC's family with Elora. It felt too abrupt with the next scene being the banquet, so I've gone back and added in more cho...
