Version 0.27.0 Released!

New update for patrons! Version history updated, you know what to do, etc.

Version 0.27.0
 - Final iteration of Yhilin before the war.
 - Two new plot sex scenes.
 - Four new Synergy Skills available if you have enough affection.
 - There are new (retroactive) consequences to researching Dari's condition. Continue a save from the waiting screen to receive your proper benefits.
 - New Uyae conversations around Ari-Yhilina.
 - During previous Yhilin iterations, you can now summon more people to the throne room. No balance changes.
 - New Eustrin mausoleum graphics thanks to Lamsey.
 - Lucy now has more unclothed images during her naked scenes thanks to Bug Reporting.
 - Bug Reporting is also responsible for the adorable succubus children. Expect to see more of them over time. ^-^
 - Various enemy stat changes (mostly for consistency and to remove unintended exploits).
 - Back in Stineford, there's now a visual effect when the door is destroyed.
 - If you invested in the demon-ridden mineshaft, it now appears properly in your investment ledger.
 - The shop in the outskirts can now reopen depending on investments. This is a retroactive change, but doesn't affect balance much.
 - Several quest log items had been neglected, most notably Conquerer. These have been fixed, though your quest log may need refreshing.

As you can see, this update is getting a lot of things properly in order so that I can focus fully on the war event. Aside from the retroactive changes, though, it includes one last visit to Yhilin that should be fun. A lot of quests/variables/investments that have been ongoing for a while finally wrap up this time.

Some of the things I've been working on in the background are getting much closer to release, so look forward to some of that. But meanwhile, please enjoy this update!

  1. I'm super looking forward for the public release! I'll get to try out all those changes in the past and enjoy all the Yhilin content. It's going to be great. I'm also looking forward to seeing the adorable succubus children :D!

  2. Well I hope Qum names Dari a "not not not lady" but then i'm very drunk and you should probably ignore me

  3. Um, what does no balance changes mean? I'm guessing that if I have a save from a later point in time, whatever changes happened in the past won't matter?

    1. Correct: it means you won't be at any gameplay disadvantage for missing the added content.

    2. Thanks for the clarification, that's good to know.
      Also that there's going to be content when I replay when the game is finished- do you plan on adding content after the general storyline is finished?

    3. Depends on what you mean. Though I try not to drastically alter previous sections, I do try to improve them, and that process will continue until the end of the game. There will also be a dungeon harder than the final dungeon and a major epilogue segment. But I don't plan to go back and keep fiddling with the game - when I get to the end, everything will be mostly in the form I want.

    4. That's sort of good. I like it when the story wraps up nice and tight at the end, with every segment having meaning.
      I meant adding side-quests and stuff to the previous sections, especially in areas like Stineford and Feroholm when we return, adds a little feeling of completeness while being optional.
      Excited for that dungeon now :D

    1. Nope. But you'll have to copy/paste your save files in the new folder to use them. Don't worry, the save files are always compatible with the new versions of the game.

    3. Don't worry about it. This is a good place to ask questions.

  5. I have a question of my own. Last time a Patreon release went out, the public release came a week later. Is that how it usually works?

    1. Wow! I incorrectly counted and thought that the update will
      be tomorrow.
      Thank you for TLS. And thank you for your generosity.
      By the way congratulations on the first release of Kingdom of Deception!

    2. Oh, I should say, later today if you live in American time zones. If you're much further east, it will be later. Whatever your time zone, I usually release things around the same time of day.

      Regarding KoD: Thanks! I'm glad it has been well-received so far and I look forward to putting out lots of updates for it!

    3. UUUU, KoD is out? Gotta go find it, thanks for everything!

    1. The upcoming release is the last Yhilin visit, then after that it's war, yes!
