About New Life

Champion of Realms
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

I would say that a post about a more in-depth explanation of New Life is a must, especially from the development point of view of this feature.

What did get about what New Life is gonna be?

New Life will allow you to unlock variants or transformations of girls through the use of magic and alchemy, a special egg will be created that once fertilised will fuse with the girl, giving her a new shape.

The pregnancy will come from this, giving the big belly and all, but beware, the ultimate goal will remain the obtaining of the new form, it has never been said that there will be children or anything else.

To unlock this feature we need the right moment in the plot, a specific new room, thanks to Tailè and Kor, Syxia's alchemy and Priscilla's magic.

How it will work? Simple, after you choose the girl and do the ritual, depending on how you treat the girl, she  will unlock a specific form.

Now about thisthere are two main problems.

First it's about the rendering and workload:

If for example 9 girls will unlock new Life, It means that to give to the people the choice about which form use, some parts will be rendered in three different modes, multiply it for all of them, and you can see how many renders it will need.

For this specific problem, I have already thinked about a possible solution.

The solution is as follow: In the house, the player can choose if they want the girl to be in a specific form

During single girl events, player will choose pre-event or during It if he want a specific form, if he want it random or else.

During multi girl events and main story, the only and easiest solution for this Is probably showing one girl per render, otherwise it's gonna be to much big.

The other solution it's to simplify the form and adding the New Life with only one possible Evolution per girl.

The second minor problem is if adding new Life in the end will be really worth it or not in terms or requests and growth.

Given the continuous demand for New Life is getting heavier and heavier despite the constant explanations about what we need, this is what I could do:

I can release an alpha version of the feature where only Syxia's help is required, temporarily cutting the part of the story needed to unlock it, and stitch it together in the future when the actual time comes to get it.

This means unlocking Syxia's card with her shop, obtaining the specific event and applying the feature.

When Priscilla finally arrives, the event linked to the feature will be rewarked for correct insertion.

The inserted feature will only have an unlocked form available, with its possible exposure and lewds.

The final, full version will be integrated with the arrival of Priscilla.

By doing so, however, I will insert the intact and complete version under review or inside goal, based on how the feature is received, it will be decided what to do.

I could do this mainly to see the reactions on how the New Life really works and is received, hoping to have better reaction unlike Maeve, interactives, threesome, 0.82.

Let me know what you think about it.
