Drone Commander

Evil Fel is absolutely smoking

Brian thought he could catch a break in the fleet VIP lounge but Makara turned up. It's not clear her background or what she does, but she has access to all sensitive areas of the ship and an infinite tab

A day with Narah - blow sht up, romance on a stolen cargo vessel finished with a night of passion.

Finished much of Kira's romance scenes - one final thing to do before the end of the Alpha (20 hours) is the spend the night scene.

Going to be stream now guys, level design, planning and maybe a tad of gaming https://www.twitch.tv/murchie85

Some Music Updates - the guys did a great job! (Update, i'm uploading here, and removing from YT for a while as one of the musicians wanted it polished before sharing widely 😅)

Tracks are all still in WIP but what you are hearing is close to the final product.

It's time to feed the patreons.. (Tabby's intimacy with Straker)

Note Tabby's toy in the BG
FYI, yes Tabby is a bit more timid and hesitant in public, but once you get to know her, or push her (right) buttons, her 'behind closed doors' girl comes out.

note the bullet marks preserved

Hope on the Wind - A visit to Scotland

Fel's highland Sprite now completed.

A original plot Idea I wrote in the first month of making the game, was that there would be a point where the humans and Sekarri would cement their bond back on Earth - at a funeral - my funeral (aka Mcmusty's).

You would play as Fel and Straker, talking to those morning at the wake/funeral, it would be a fun place for me to put in some funny developer comments.

Like a mourner would say "I think python was too much for him"....

Drone Commanders - I think it's worth remembering that you are supporting something unique and special. DC isn't just one game genre, but 3, RTS, RPG and Visual Novel; combined to tell a story, that's mostly seen in novel saga's and colossal cinematic experiences.

I'm not sure there are many solo-devs in the world that could produce what I have, in under 2 years. It's more than the abilities and experience though, it's sheer raw brute force and passion. By the time you hit 40 in the game industry, it's common to get jaded, go into management and so on.

For me however, this is the project of my life for sure, to put it simply, you and I both want, hot babes, kick-ass bros, epic battles, deep-lore, expansive, ORIGINAL Sci-Fi and a story that doesn...

If you are new or haven't been introduced to Erika, give Erika's Passion video a go https://youtu.be/P8TeS3Qc-0g

Sneak peak into a new Character I'm Working on (selected from one of your suggestions)

She's a Deritonian Chronicler, a bit like a medieval reporter - she travels far and wide, over mountains through forests to document the stories of interesting people she meets.

She's also a scribe, an will be extremely interested to get some time with Straker.

With just a days work im happy with the group chat feature so far. The voices are just stand ins whilst I develop it out.

Streaming guys - nothing special, just some coding but working on multichat https://www.twitch.tv/murchie85

Patreon Dump - New things in the works

Romance in More Detail

Like everything I aim to do, the Romance In Drone Commander will be extremely original, and full of stuff other (even solely dedicated romance VNs lack).

MAKE UP AND BREAK UP

Such an important thing in real life, how many people do you know or have heard 'oh yeah, they are back together...they're always fighting'... yet they eventually get married, super happy and have kids.
Love is a journey, it has struggles but once you come out of hardships you are ...

The Connection We Share

This track is Straker-Fel's special theme, as you know they have a connection, one that no one quite believes, not even Kira, Tabby, nor the super omnipotent like Yeverii.

Amu is aware of it, but even she struggles to comprehend how its possible. The Dark Worlders surely would love to get their hands on this capability if they knew it existed.

So what is it? Is this just a magic mc...

Streaming for a little bit guys https://www.twitch.tv/murchie85

Kira's science brain hs her over analysing your touch

I was going over what I've built so far. Playing as a player... I know this sounds arrogant but damn I'm giving this a 10/10 its so fun to play so far and I forgot just how deep and interesting the story is. I can't wait to share an Alpha with you.

In the meantime I recommend rewatching Cynthia and the deritonians, Statlanes, Liora and or the Floramel 15 min demo. The Erika and Narah vids rock too.

What is your favourite so far?

Meanwhile...I'm moving forward with the main plot: I've got a lot of artwork coming in, Level design and expect to see some new characters (that appear later in the game) next week.

Have your say

Allow an additional 3 Sekarri outside of Fel to be monogamous?

(Note!! Nothing changes! Right now, i'm gauging opinion only. I'll give more detailed info in the comments)

FYI: My preference is keep it to Fel only. But i'm totally fine with converting Kat, and adding 2 more.

In relation to Kat, Hannah has a plan for both scenario's so no stress guys.
But we need to know, so she can write it.
she's only written Monogamous before, but if she had to keep Kat in the p...

Lots of info: please read

I want to give a bit more detail on Hannah's role with Kat and the game.

She's an extremely strong writer at delivering powerful dialogue, funny and tense inter-personal scenes and knocks it out the park with character building.

We've been chatting, and as a heads up, Hannah will be writing a full military op for Kat's arc too.

She has a brother that was duped/fooled into joining Neph, he's been. captured

you'll be helping Kat get him back.

In terms of writing, ...

Was a rough week but finally back to making progress 💪

This is Fel reacting, when you ask if she is disappointed in you - as she was getting paranoid she was complimenting you too much.

It's a bit role reversal, men will compliment women to no end during the phase where they want to show interest.

Spoilers Below (mild)

Anyway, I decided to make some changes to Fel's second date, in that she will commit to you, and you'll have to answer a few of her questions; this is the point you can decide what you're re...

Guys, there were a LOT of great answers, but let's get concrete numbers

Full explanation for each beow.

COMMIT HINT

One of the options i.e. 'You mean a lot to me Tabby', has a golden halo.
Clicking this makes your move, attempting to commit you.
They can Reject/Accept based on relationship scores.

AUTO-DECIDING MOMENT

If you pick the right thing to say, then a deciding moment...

Back streaming guys, this is a more relaxed one. So come chat to me, ask questions i'll be taking a lot more .https://www.twitch.tv/murchie85

https://www.twitch.tv/murchie85

Amu POV - and Next question.

Great feedback guys - though the answers were split, so the best decision is to do both. Based on what HINT-LEVEL you set at the start or in options.

But now something important, do you want the prompt prior to committing i.e.

"COMMIT TO FLORAMEL?: YES/NO" (hint, this could get you into a relationship).

The reason why no prompt might be better, is that you've said all the things up to this point, I feel the DECIDING_MOMENT should take all that stuff int...

How do you want their Key Deciding Moment to unfold?

When they are deciding if to be in a relationship with you, do you want it to.

A. Happen automatically.

B. Fade to dark briefly, before proceeding (so you know you just passed/failed a major relationship moment).

Note, this is different from rejection-turn around, where you have a moment to take your words back and apologise etc (there it fades to black for a moment so you can make the decision).
