UPDATE DELAY


Hi, everyone!

So, in the almost five years I've been doing this, I've only had to announce an update delay twice... unfortunately this makes it three. I'm really sorry! I hate doing this every time, as I really want everyone to get regular updates, but sometimes it's sadly necessary.

Why the delay? Well, I had an idea for a thing and it's going to take a while to put together. What's the thing? You'll have to wait and find out!

Myyyyssterrrryyyyyyyy...

"So Arc,"
I hear you cry as you violently throw rocks, sticks and underwear in my direction, "That's all very interesting and you're so smart and handsome, but how long will the delay be?"

Well first, thank you. And second, the delay should only be two weeks. I say should because there's always the possibility that unforeseen issues will pop up and give me a wedgie. However, I'm well under way with the work that needs doing and I'm not anticipating anything leaping out of the shadows at me by this point. So fingers crossed!

I'll keep everyone updated, and again, I'm sorry for the delay! Hopefully you'll all feel that it was worthwhile when the next update hits.

Oh, and as an apology, the Kana Koma Kwestline will be able to be completed in the next update, too :)

Thank you all for your support and patience!

Your friend and secret stalker,

-- Arc.

UPDATE NEWS AND FAN TRANSLATIONS!

And New is Always Better, Right!?

Hi, everyone!

Couple of quick announcements, as I promised I'd keep everybody up to date!

First things first, due to losing over a week to the Patreon stuff, the next update has been delayed for one week and will be released on the 26th of February. I'm sorry about this, but what with everything that happened I just wasn't able to get anything ready for today.

The second announcement is that I have finally opened up the FAN TRANSLATION channel over on the CK Discord! If you know someone who is making a fan translation of CK, or you're making one yourself, head on over there to post it!

Note: Once CK enters beta I will be hiring official translators, and any fan translator who has been active in the Discord fan-translations channel will be given priority :)

Okay, that's everything. Sorry about the delay, everyone, but after next week things will hopefully be right back to normal. And I have some big things planned for the story next month...

Stay tuned, and I love you all! <3

VALENTINE'S DAY LOVING!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Hey, everyone... you hit the goal!

Holy Moley!

And on Valentine's Day, no less! WOW!

Honestly, I'm completely blown away... the amount of love and support that has come from the community has been so incredibly touching and humbling and I spent a not insignificant amount of time today crying in relief.

I will never be able to thank you all for everything you've done!

Still... I made a thing. It was supposed to be a sort of call to arms/fundraiser, but you all shattered the goal so fast that it feels a little superfluous now! Still, I thought I'd upload it anyway. It's just a 30-second piece of nonsense but I hope you get some enjoyment out of it nonetheless.

And hey, maybe I'll make another one for each of the SubStar goals we hit?

Oh! On Friday I'll be doing a livestream over on Twitch, talking about everything that's gone down and my plans for the future of CK. Head on over and check it out if you have time!

Thank you again, everyone!

Oh, and uh... will you be my Valentines..?

SUBSCRIBESTAR TRIES TO SAVE CK!

See? Not Dead Yet!

Hi, everyone.

It's been a few days and the dust has started to settle somewhat, so I thought now would be a good time to update everyone on the current situation.

To start with, yes, the CK page is still dead. That's not going to change. However, there is a new star rising on the horizon!

You've read the title I assume so you know what I'm talking about: SubscribeStar has actually had a lot more movement and migration than I ever dared to hope for, and there's a chance - a small one but still a chance - that we'll actually manage to hit the goal here! Something I didn't think was even a remote possibility, but the amazing support and tireless effort of so many wonderful players is proving me wrong!

Okay, but what does that mean?

Well it means that if everyone can hit even just the first goal here on SubscribeStar, that I won't have to change any graphics or move the game to Steam! Things can continue on as normal! I'll have to tighten my belt, sure, but I don't mind living off instant noodles if it means I can finish Corrupted Kingdoms - the true Corrupted Kingdoms, with Alice and all your adorable little munchkins - just as I begin it, and just as so many people have known it for so long.

It's still a long way to go to reach the goal, though, and if we're still short by the end of the month then I'm afraid Steam becomes a necessity. So please, if you feel like supporting CK, or you think you know someone who might, point them in this direction and give whatever you can!

Every dollar makes a difference.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And now to answer the most commonly-asked questions that I've been gathering over the last few days:


QUESTION: Steam? What about Android players?
ANSWER: The APK will be made available as "Bonus Content" in the same vein as digital art books and OSTs. Android development will continue as normal!

QUESTION: Steam? What about Germany?
ANSWER: I know that you can't get adult games on Steam in Germany, so I'll be providing alternate places for people in Germany to buy the game. I won't abandon you!

QUESTION: Steam? What about countries where the regional pricing screws over customers?
ANSWER: The game will be on permanent sale in those countries (eg. Brazil) to bring the price down to an actually reasonable amount.

QUESTION: What about hosting the game on other sites?
ANSWER: The difficulty is in getting people to actually go to these sites and sign up. SubStar is the best bet, and has a great reputation, and yet I'm still struggling to direct people there. Even Itch only nets me around $150 a month. But yes, I agree, the more revenue streams the better and it's something I'll certainly look into.

QUESTION: What about Steam's similar policy?
ANSWER: Only one game has fallen foul of it, and meanwhile dozens of games like Summer Memories exist. It is a concern, though, which is why this is a gamble. Likely what I'll do is put a "PG" version up on Steam and host the "18+" patch offsite.

QUESTION: What about Patreon refunds?
ANSWER: Patreon has completely cut off my ability to interact with my site. I can't make posts, reply to comments, send messages or issue refunds. I have $8,000 sitting in my Patreon wallet and Patreon intends to keep it. If you link your Discord and Patreon accounts, though, I'll DM anyone the tier rewards they should have gotten!

Thank you so much everyone for the truly inspiring outpouring of support!

I love each and every one of you.

Yes, even you in the back. I see you there.

I love you.

PATREON TRIES TO KILL CK!

Behold! A Den of Vice and Sin!

So, for those of you who didn't know, Patreon has shut down my page and with it 90% of my income.

"But why?" I hear you ask, through the microphones I've secretly placed in your home. Is it because I violated the law, or engaged in depraved acts beyond all ethical boundaries? Did I push the limits of human decency too far? What vile and disgusting act could I have possibly committed that justifies having my game and my income destroyed?

I put Alice in the game.

Yes, that's it. Alice exists. Patreon's new policy is, and I quote: "We do not allow the presence of underage characters in Adult/18+ content." Which means no Alice, no Lil' Roxy and those kids of yours? Definitely not. The fact that none of them are sexualized in any way is irrelevant. They exist, therefore the game is no longer allowed on Patreon.

So the page is completely done, finished, gone forever?

Well... I've been told that if I wait two months I can remake the game completely and submit it to the Trust and Safety Team for review and possible acceptance as a brand new page and account. But the kids would have to be gone. Erased from the game and the lore completely. Chloe will no longer have a little sister, Lil' Roxy will be unmade, and all your kids will be erased from history. If I want to get back onto Patreon I have to eviscerate CK.

I won't do that. I refuse.

Patreon will keep drawing new lines, keep shifting the goalposts, keep trying to squeeze adult creators off their site until all that's left is a shiny, sterile, puritanical paradise. They don't want me to be a part of that and, frankly, neither do I.

I could try moving everyone over here to SubScribestar, but that has traditionally not done well. Is it possible? Sure. Is it likely? Not very.

So what's the solution? A roll of the dice. A gamble.

I'm bringing Corrupted Kingdoms to Steam.

Now, Steam won't allow modded Koikatsu (the engine I'm using for renders) on its storefront, so that means I need to remake all of the graphical assets. This is going to alienate and irritate a lot of people, I know, but I don't see another path here. Without the Patreon income I only have a few months before my resources run out. Some people won't like the new graphical style, some won't ever read this and will think I abandoned the old version for a chance at a bigger profit on Steam, and some people simply don't like Corrupted Kingdoms.

The pitfalls are many. Steam may not allow the game on the store, or it may be review-bombed, or people may simply not buy it, to name just a few.

But I have to do it.

Is it a risk? Absolutely. But it's this or throwing Alice and the kids in the dumpster, and I won't do that. Not for any amount of money. Patreon will never be satisfied. So even if this bankrupts me, I'm finishing this story, and I'm finishing it right.

Certainty of death. Small chance of success. What are we waiting for?

Let's do this.

SLIGHT DELAY


Hi, everyone!

Just to get the subject of the title out of the way, yes, the update has been slightly delayed - by one week, to be precise. I'm really sorry about this! Frankly, I severely underestimated the work required in creating brand new combat renders for all of the Boss Girls.

There is good news, however - the new combat system is, as of five minutes ago, completely finished! The test build is looking sturdy, and I think it'll be a lot of fun for everyone. All that's left to do now is move it from my test environment to the main build and then create all the necessary combat renders for the Boss Girls (plus a few other fun things I have in mind).

So, what exactly is the new combat system all about?

Well, the old battle system(s) were always an experiment. I wanted there to be a real sense of change, scale and stakes as things moved into Act Three. I had grand visions of seamlessly integrating a new mechanic with the main story beats and weaving side events into the whole thing.

Unfortunately it didn't work out that way...

There were two main problems with the old battle systems. The first was that going from a sandbox visual novel with mild RPG elements in the first 20+ hours of gameplay smack into a SNES style side-view JRPG battle system was giving people very understandable thematic whiplash.

The second problem was that the system was simply too separated from the story and side events, acting functionally as a gate between players and content. Again, after the first 20+ hours of highly story-focused gameplay, this was giving players whiplash.

So I added in systems to make it more enjoyable... and then more systems... and then a few more... until adding a single Boss Girl to the game became a full week's task. And people are still clamoring for more content with Boss Girls! But mostly in the style of the first two acts.

So, what exactly is the new combat system about, I hear you loudly demand after I just spent three paragraphs failing to answer that question.

In short, it aims to solve all of these problems. It will A) keep the graphical and thematic style of the rest of the game, B) will require little to no grinding (goodbye levels!), C) will streamline or outright cut back on the current Boss Girls systems to instead focus on much more personal and individual interactions with them, and D) will tie a lot closer to the storyline, acting as a way to unlock specific locations rather than generic "districts".

Oh, and yes, you'll still be able to skip the fighting if you want ;)

To everyone who actually enjoyed the previous battle systems: I'm sorry, but I think you'll like the new one even better! And to everyone who hated them: this should be a lot more pleasurable to interact with.

If you made it to the end, then congratulations! You're the real MVP. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here or on the Discord, or tune in to my livestream next week where I'll be giving a sneaky preview of the new combat system and answering any and all CK questions you may have!

Thank you all for your patience. I mean it.

I love you all.
