Development Update

Woohoo! Story Arcs and dialogues are done for all of the LIs. We will be working on the main story arc dialogue and polishing up Chapter 5 (reviewing CGs, mini-games etc). We will be releasing one more Ch4 patch to address typos and any outstanding issues. Looks like we're on track for Alpha Testing in September :)

Guess what happens to Borge here?!

Development Update

5/9 of the LI story arcs and dialogue is now completed. So far, that covers Anders, Erland, Borge, Henrik and Ralf. Chapter 5 will have slight more edgier choices to make, and how the players shape the LI's character development will have an impact on how they act/react to those choices. Not to worry, for those who are concerned, Ergi's ending will be the result of cumulative  actions/inactions. It won't be determined by a single choice. As long as you are consistent and feel comfortable...

Development Updates

For Chapter 5, we are writing the LI story arc dialogues before the main story. So far, we have completed Anders and Erland, and we are almost done Henrik. Chapter 5 will see greater tension build up between Britt and the LIs, based on the story choices you make. Your LI's development path might influence how they react to the story events, giving you a preview/hint of how they might impact on the story later on.

Surprisingly for the polls, most players feel they are like Ralf, followed...

Which LI is most like you?

Previously we had quizzes on the most popular Ergi LI. Here's a little quiz to help us understand our players better (and for the community to know each other better). Which LI do you think is most like you?

Development Update

We have completed the storyboarding for the LI arcs for chapter 5 and will be commencing writing the dialogues next. Chapter 5 will focus on Alfheimr trying to break the siege, while trying to bring the old folks, women and children underground before winter comes. This will stress test the relationships with your LIs or bring them closer.

The first draft of the CGs are completed and currently under review. More may be added as the story is being developed / refined.

C4 LI Guide Updated v1.3 with Undercity, Main Story v 1.5

Vanir Guide for C4 is updated with the remaining LIs from Undercity. Factual errors corrected in the Main Story Guide.

Technical and Development Update

Several Technical features are added to Chapter 4. Save files are now nameable and unlimited to better organise your saves. v 4.285 also added navigation to the Galleries. You don't have to scroll through all the CGs to exit anymore. Quick save is also added back into the game and bound to F3. 

On the Development of Ch5, the writing of codes are completed, and the LI CGs are completed and overall CGs 60% done.

Vanir LI guide updated v 1.2

The Vanir LI guides are updated with the Cavern boys (Borge, Tyr and Kirk).

Vanir LI Guide (Fjord)

The Vanir guide for LI is updated for the Fjord boys

Development Updates for Ch5

Ch5 will focus on Jorgen, Ralf and Kirk's romance story. Main story wise, it will focus on breaking the Alfheimr siege and bringing the Huldrer and Alders to safety. Game play will be lighter, as the faction quests are optional (players only need to complete one to advance the story). The diplomacy (voting) game mechanics are optional if you did not vote for Federation (and try to make it work in Ch5). 

The new NPCs (See first look) also require very little resources and can help y...

Vanir Valkyrie Guide

Vanir Combat guide for Valkyrie is updated. We will work on the LI relationship guide the next.

Main Story Guide for Alfheimr

Vanir Guide V1.4 updated with the main and side story guides for the Alfheimr portion (edited for minor typos).

First look at Ergi Jötunheimr

Development for Chapter 5 has begun. As a sizable part of Ch4 is taken from Chapter 5, the next chapter will pick up immediately where C4 has left off. It will focus on the origins of the Jötnar and their siege on Alfheimr. As Britt races to reclaim control of the Undercity, Ralf unveils the force that could rival the might of the Ulfhednar.

Vanir Main Guide updated

Vanir main guide is updated with the Alpine Arc.

Alf Vanir Guide added

Combat guide for Alf build added to the original Seidr guide.

Vanir Main Story Guide Part I

The first part of the main story guide covers the overall strategy, and the first part of the story at the Huldrer's Peak.

Vanir Guide for Seiðr Build

For casual players struggling with combat, Seiðr tree is the easiest to learn and use. This guide gives a more detailed explanation on the seiðr abilities, the Jotun/allies you should deploy in combat, and how their abilities work. You don't have to read the individual allies' abilities if you find it overwhelming. The first few pages will give you enough information to survive the Ragnarok as a Seiðr. Otherwise, the details can help you master and refine your combat strategy.

Almost there!

Most of the major bugs and kinks are addressed in the Alpha Testing. We are now polishing up the game with finishing touches and addressing any lingering game design/balance issues. Thanks again to Kire, MagSeb and GBounias for playtesting through Eurovision, and bughunting with us for the past week.

Chapter 4 is a MASSIVE chapter, easily twice the length or more than our usual ones. We introduced an easy option for most fights for those who wants to focus on experiencing the story. And...

Development Updates

We have completed 8 out of 9 of the LI routes. Hopefully, we can commence Alpha testing for the second part of Chapter 4 soon. Ch4 is also where you start to influence the character development of your love interests, and ultimately your ending with him. So we are being a little more cautious not to screw up the development of this segment as it will affect the trajectory and pacing of the remaining game. Thank you everyone for your support in making this game possible!

Ch4 Hræsvelgr v 4.35

Once again, thanks to Kire, MagSeb and GBounias for helping us refine Chapter so painstakingly. For Vanirs, it is best to restart Ch4 if you have saves from the partial realease. Some of the combat may be buggy, and your stashed serums from Ch3 cannot be retrieved as well.

And also thank you everyone for your patience and support in making this game epic. Chapter 4 is hugggggge, easily 2-3 times more than the usual content, so have fun discover the content and experience the story. If y...

Development Updates and Partial Release Poll Outcome

The development of second half of Chapter 4 was delayed as we had to rework some of the LI content. We heard your feedback on Ch3 and some players are primarily interested in the LI content. Therefore we brought forward some Ch5 story lines forward and increased the scope for Ch4. The branching storylines have also increased significantly, and therefore it takes much more iterations for the game to be testable and playable. For that, we would like to thank MagSeb, Kire and Gbounias on DC for ...

Ch4 Story Themes

In Chapter 3, Alfheimr is splintered into factions who have fundamentally different values. The pious who revere nature and values the continuity of life (not necessarily their own). The idealist who seeks compromise and perfect solution at risk of achieving nothing. And the pragmatists who seek survival and innovation but at what cost? 

In Ch4, you get a closer look at these factions and what they stand for. Will you fight for nature to prevail even if it means a green apocalypse?...

Erland Undercity CG poll

Guys, need some advice on which atmospheric CG you prefer?

Chapter 4 Partial Release Poll

Chapter 4 is turning out to be a bigger chapter than we anticipated. The branching storylines would need more time to develop and test. As such, we are thinking of doing a partial release for Chapter 4, which will have about 50% of the planned content. It stops before returning to Alfheimr and reuniting with your LIs. But you will get to meet the new NPCs in the Huldrer's Peak and Alfheimr. Let me know what are your thoughts?

Chapter 4 Progress and Patch 3.5+

Chapter 4 is about 2/3 complete, including the new factions' story arcs (Hulder, Alder, and Exiles). We have cleaned up the combat interface for Ch4 to show the health bar, buffs, and debuffs.

Patch 3.5 will include extended scenes for Ralf, Borge, and Tyr. A new Britt gallery will be added in the next patch. Vanir Tier premium cgs/content of the month will be added in-game eventually.  Share in Discord which side characters (Aaren, Kåre, Svend/Valentine guy) you wish to see the m...

Alpine Exploration and Aaren Concept CG

Have you ever wanted to explore more of the Alpines? In Chapter 4, you get to stop over home before heading back to Alfheimr. Here are some of the new explorable areas in your hometown where you may uncover more of your love interest's history.
Have you also wondered what Aaren looks like? Here is a concept art by our artists on the previous Captain of the Orchard. Hope you like it!

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone. I wish everyone has someone meaningful to spend the night with.  And here's someone to keep you company if you're feeling lonely :)

Chapter 4 Development Preview

Preview of new areas in Alfheimr and combat picker feature.

Meet Hildr and Hel (again)

Hildr is one of the 9 powerful Völvas of Freyja. She is also an old acquaintance/friend/frenemy of Kirk and Tyr, and can easily take on 2 Captains in a fight alone. In Ch4, she can mentor Britt if he is on the Valkyrie or Seiðr path.

Hel is a mysterious Huldra who knows much more than she's willing to let on. She may or may not have met Britt in Chapter 2 and told him about the ways of the Hulder. In the next chapter, she can mentor Britt if he is on the Alf path.

Will Britt enl...
