Love the Guard, Be the King
A downloadable Visual Novel for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Hello, everyone! Happy New Year! 

You read it right—I released the first part of CH03! Cheers!

Things got a little complicated, but now that everything is more or less calm again, I finally finished the needed edits/bug hunting/tests.

>> Content in this post:

  • What you'll find in this update (CH03).
  • Why "Part I" and not the full chapter?
  • Questions for you!
  • When to check for more info and constant dev updates and ways to support my career!
  • I found a bug / I have a concern about the story / I want to chat and say hi. Where can I get in touch?
  • >> Here's what you'll find in this update:

- A morning with Mathias,
- One additional scene for the Dragon Commanders that didn't get to spend the night with the Crown Prince,
- The timely appearance of one of the advisors,
- The truth about MC not having dreams anymore,
- The truth about what happened in the Academia.
- Loads of tough choices that will impact future chapters.

  • >> Why "Part I" and not the full chapter?

I had countless setbacks and complications in the past few months that really affected the development of LtGBtK, and I felt I would still need a lot of time to make CH03 what I want it to be. At the same time, you are all so kind and respectful to me, and I still receive so many beautiful messages of support, that I didn't want to leave you waiting that long. And so, I decided to cut CH03 into smaller parts and shrink the waiting time between updates. :)

  • >> QUESTIONS!

Wanna comment, but you're not sure what exactly to say? Here're a few things I'd love to know:

  • Is Matt and MC's relationship (the reason why it's so complicated) clearer now?
  • The dream scene takes into consideration many of your past choices. Did you try different choices?
  • What was your favorite and least favorite thing about this update?
  • Which character would you like to learn more about?
  • >> When to check for more info and constant dev updates and ways to support my career!

I'm still making constant updates on my ko-fi page (I now have a subscription option on my ko-fi! Subscribers will soon start receiving exclusive content and swag :3), and less constant updates on my tumblr. Besides that, I'll continue making my monthly updates here on itch. If you'd like to keep tuned on what's happening or if you just want to say hello, you know where to find me! ♥♥♥

If you want to support my career, you can follow me, leave comments, rate the game, share this game with a friend, and maybe try my books too! Your support is always appreciated, and it motivates me to keep working. :) But if you want to do even more (you amazing human being, you!), I'm always accepting donations on my ko-fi page. Every cent I get from itch and ko-fi are little steps toward establishing a career in game dev, and that's what I'm dreaming about for 2022! ♥

On tumblr, itch, and ko-fi! ;) You can also check my Wattpad page to read my books and click here to subscribe to my newsletter and have a closer look at my creative process. :3

Thank you all soo much for reading this post and for playing! I hope you have fun. :)))

Much love,

Ligia
