State Of The Realm: March
It has been a month of intense ups and downs, back here in the smut factories. Our sound director and good friend Spam passed unexpectedly, and we’ve taken a short while to find our bearings again. He is succeeded by a kindly group of volunteers: HereToHelp as coordinator, Mokkel and GerdGenus as engineers, and GreyScale as SFX artist. Together, we will finish the work that he was so eager to complete.

Together, we will finish the work that he was so eager to complete.
In brighter news, we have a new full-time member of the team: Mattrex, who is stepping up as our lead writer. It’s highly likely that you’ve enjoyed Mattrex’s writing for Heloise, Malice, Malagar, Naho, and more; now you’ll get to enjoy much more of it, as he can commit completely to the project. Congratulations, Mattrex! And thank you, all - your ongoing support is what has enabled us to grow, and will continue to be seeded back into making an ever-better game for you.
Looking forwards at the next few months, our first priority is completing our Act V Chapter One waifu content; Naho and Maelys have been waiting very patiently, and both will get extra time in the limelight. We will also be adding hordes - your various mortal and lair factions have important roles to play in Act V, and all have more dimensions we’d like to explore. These elements will be added as soon as they’re completed, in our regular monthly updates. Once they are done, Chapter One will come to a rather thrilling conclusion in the v510 major update, expected this summer.
And to look backwards, if you'll indulge me: March marks the fourth anniversary of Ravager’s initial (and very modest) release. Back then it was one-and-a-half Acts of whatever I could cobble together during my commutes. We have come an extraordinary way since then! To mark the occasion, we are having a celebration on Discord this weekend (March 18th). Please come along if you’d like to join us for AMAs, online games, and general frivolity.
Looking forward to not getting any sleep!
Sorry to hear about Spam passing away, may he rest in piece.
Can't wait for the new content to come out, it will be nice to see more of Naho and Maelys soon. Will we be able to do something with Naho if we did not break her before Act V? I like to find ways to try and make as many happy as possible, that includes Naho and Maelys.
Will the hoards be a seperate tab/area like they were in Arcs III/IV, or will they be similar to the latest update where you get events with them by holding court? Both have their up and down sides so I can't wait to see which is done. On top of that, will we get any new hordes to work with? I can assume that there are other groups that may want a say in things like the old drakesguard.
Finally, I have a little bit of a theory about something after playing a lot of the Act V content. That theory would be that Mina is Adeline's sister and has royal blood. With Adeline asking us if we met her sister, I was wondering if we had actually done so and just not realized it. A lot of it comes down to the eyes. You had Marie-Anne bring up the Royal purple for the eye color and, while Adeline is a given, I noticed that Mina also has the same shade of purple. Additionally, it could explain why Mina had been so hesitant to have kids out of all those who willingly slept with the dragon. Giving birth to another dragon would be a dead give away of royal heritage. As for why she is like this, I believe that she either doesn't fully remember, from being so young when seperated, or knows and is trying to keep it a secret.
Oh man... My condolences.
Glad to see you guys are good to move on with your friends work though. I'm sure you can do his vision justice.
I'm really looking forward to the hordes being included in the gameplay of Act V. Though a little worried about the wolf pack - I recruited them by promising them free reign over the Lowlands. And since I play as a benevolent and honourable dragon (85% because I don't really believe in "inherent evil", 15% because it's just fun as f*ck to see how absolutely bewildered most characters react when the savage beast turns out to be perfectly reasonable) I will honour that word. But I'm a little bit worried about what this will mean for the people living here as well as the kingdom's prosperity.
Oh well. Maybe seeing how their alpha managed to spare the pack casualties by being merciful to people can convince them that treating the other folks of the Lowlands with at least the bare minimum of mercy might be in their own best interest too.
