New Death Opportunity?

Demo Size - 150k. Getting closer and closer to the update :sob:

Questions

As a part of the new update, you'll get an opportunity to visit an organization that gathers intelligence all around the game world and you'll be able to ask them a few questions as well, for a price.

Are there any questions about the setting, politics etc., which you guys want answered? It can be anything from the 'who's the strongest martial artist' and 'what is the strongest martial skill' to some specific questions about ROs ;)

Post your suggestions here/in discord.

Tell me if I missed something, I'll add them.

Also, bad news: update will be slower this time around (finals :sob:), but afterwards I'll be very free for a few weeks - so the one after should come quicker instead ;)

...

Stone Gambling

A new activity coming up in the next update - a good way to either earn or lose a bunch of gold ;)

For those of of you familiar with Xianxia-stories stone gambling shouldn't be a novel concept and for those of you who aren't, it's a fairly easy concept: you buy 'raw' stones and hope that inside lies a precious gem.

In game, you'll have to travel to the Second Sect Level and into Stone&Treasures Den, where you'll be able to purchase stones of three various categories (cheap, ...

Progress Update

-Simplified (I think) Free Roam. All Story/RO events will happen by themselves. No more morning/afternoon/evenings. Every time-costing action will progress you 1 day forward (3 days in a week). Took out random events, put them in a new option - 'explore the sect'.  

- Changed Training. Now, instead of you having to click a billion times for every attribute, you will be able to design a 'training plan' (check screenshot). You'll be able to focus your efforts on a certain attribute/b...

He Jun Offer (Sneak-Peak)

Is this a new artifact for accepting He Jun's offer, amongst other benefits? Hm....


Also: update is around 2/3 done (at 10k+ from the previous one rn).  Should be coming soon. Apart from that, I think I'm going to lock Ai into a female-only. Idk it just feels weird: I always refer to her as a female in my head and always imagine her that way, which makes it difficult for me to write the male-perspective. Not to mention, it fucks up the storyline with Long Chen as well...

Restaurant Management

Once again, something that I originally planned as a small gimmick has turned into a full-on system lmao. 

I present to you, Restaurant Management:

- Each week, Jing Guo's restaurant will bring a certain amount of money, based on the prices set and its popularity. A certain percentage of that amount will go towards 'your cut', depending on how much of the restaurant MC owns. 

- Each week, the restaurant will spend a certain amount from its budget (depending on the ...

New Event Sneek-Peek

It's finally time for out boy Jing Guo to get some screen time!
Sneak-peeeeeeeek

Next update focus

Did a little bit of QoL fixes today (missions, like flower gathering, would automatically complete now, re-balanced skill comprehension/rate of flower findings a bit, amongst other things).

So it's time to pick out what you guys would like for me to focus on in the next update ;)

Beast Companion Poll Results

With a very narrow lead, Panda has, surprisingly, defeated the Phoenix (and absolutely trashed the kitstune, where are all the folks who voted for the fox first time around has gone to?) in the battle to become MC's companion beast!

When you guys get a burping, lazy panda following you around - remember, it was you who've chosen it, not me lmao.

Beast Companion Vote - Final

Alright! So we have these options as our finalists for becoming MC's companion beasts ;)

A couple of thoughts regarding what role each animal will play, if they are selected:

Phoenix - mount (flying), most likely some healing ability to help MC.

Panda - alchemy (for those of you who, for some reason, do not trust Mei Mei...), funny eating of bamboo.

Kitsune - something related to illusions, not sure yet.

Qilin - mount (riding), help in battle.

Do take n...

Heya! So here's most of the beasts that you guys have suggested as companions for the MC. Vote for those animals you find interesting (you can vote multiple times). After that, I'll pick the three most popular creatures and make a final round between them, if there would be a need for it ;)

Beast Companion Suggestions

Hey! Running a bit behind on the update, but hopefully I'll manage to write enough over the weekend to release it around Monday ;)

Current word count is 108k.

While you wait, I want to gather your thoughts about a beast companion you want for the MC. It seems to be a very popular topic, so I decided to give it a proper thought. For now, I'm just deciding on what kind of creature it'd be, not sure when exactly it'll appear in the game.

You can suggest it here/in the discor...

Smaller/Bigger updates?

Just a question, how big do you want the next update to be? It's time for me to release the current patreon version to the public (been over 2 weeks already), and while I could release the version with Tang Ruo/Mei Mei events by tomorrow, I feel like it's kinda too small (like +10k from the current one)? I was aiming for about 100k (total) words/next weekend and wondering how you guys felt about that.

Do keep in...
