I'm waiting for a macro to get made and a few more details before putting out the next update. Definitely in the next day or two.

The Arena of Destiny is turning out to be pretty interesting. The story is that the Antari are hermaphroditic at birth, then get 'gender assigned' through combat with their future spouse. The loser turns into a female, while the winner retains their male characteristics.

In the game, you will be able to flirt with unmarried male Antari (under the right conditions) and then challenge them in the Arena. The player can then either win or lose the match and consequences will follow. I'd like it to be kind of deep, where your stats matter etc. etc. etc. but I think at this point I'm just trying to get the concept down first. I haven't seen this kind of thing in any other game so I'm taking it one step at a time.

The next layer of this is that the player at this point in the game is actually a werm. Which means body hopping. Which means that they can lose/win as an Antari, then body hop out of that body and lose/win as ANOTHER Antari. Which means all relationships need to be stored 3rd party. It's not a relationship between the PC and an NPC but rather between two NPC's and the PC is able to 'become' either one of them (possibly). There's a few things to think about, it's not extremely complicated but the permutations might get pretty ridiculous.

Anyway that's what is happening right now. Also, more artwork is getting put in. Already fixed Robyn's lack of preg/breast artwork and the next piece is going to be a bad end between Gabrielle and the PC.
