A Whole New World of Con-Quest!

We've got BIG news and a BIG new pin-up by GrossGirl!

This big news been taking up a lot of our time! There are big changes on the way and we've been looking for the perfect opportunity to tell you about them.

Combat

We're planning on updating Con-Quest's combat in a number of new and interesting ways! New spells? New attacks? Bigger! We're planning a new overhaul that is going to make the combat in Con-Quest deeper and more stylish.

Check out this rough, older mock-up we forced our artists to do before feeding them:

Why Change The Combat?

Con-Quest's combat has proved to be a useful and practical system so far, but we think we can do better! Something that's a joy to look at, and not just because there are naked women on it!

Con-Quest is also a hugely character-focused game, and we've come to the realization that 1v1 combat is antithetical to the game's focus, feel and themes. In a game where you run around and make new friends, why shouldn't you take those friends on an adventure with you, and fight by their side?

So what changes are we going to make?

Multi-Fighter Parties:

• We want to add back-sprites to characters, especially seeing as we are hoping to add multiple characters into fights. Rather than 1v1s, we've conceived of and are testing a system of rotating attacks and party members!

New UI:

• Our current battle system still carries artifacts of Con-Quest in its very earliest stages. We'd like to see the combat system evolve, visually, in ways we've so far been unable to as we have with the rest of the game.

New Backgrounds:

• To give the game a better sense of scale and flow, we'd like to see our battles visually taking place inside of the areas that the battles are canonically taking place in.

We'll keep you posted as we progress through the development process of updating Con-Quest in new and exciting ways!

Too Many Girls!?

Wow! We've got a lotta babes in our game! With Con-Quest's robust cast, now is the perfect time for us to go back and fix the fundamentals of the game we've not yet had the time to polish since our game's creation. 

Con-Quest has proved to be a great time for a lot of people, and we're proud of the fanbase we've accumulated, and are humbled by their, and your, continued support. We'd like to strengthen our game in the deepest and most eminently important ways we can. We want to improve the lifeblood of Con-Quest's engagement: the combat and character interactions.

So What's Next?

At this time, our designer/director is going to be all designer without the time for direction he previously had. This will be taking some load off of our artists and writers, that we plan to immediately make up for that load with a new idea for Con-Quest!

The Safari Zone Idea:

The plan is simple: add a room (or rooms) to Con-Quest wherein our artists will add newly conceived characters and their reward images! This may even leave room for small amounts of story and flavor text along with it! This would allow us to continue giving new content and versions to our patrons fairly quickly while giving our designer the freedom to build the new combat system!
