@AletheiaKnights thank you so much again for your testing!
@Samuel_H_Young @izzily @AnneWest @starpendle thank you!! The reason I started doing this epilogue was a little silly* but I’m so glad I did it and that CoG humoured me, heh.
@dreamofeden that’s me! Blood Money is very different (though there are some shared themes, albeit with a lot more violence) and never got talked about as much as Creme but I love it a lot.
@Akme2000 ahh I’m really pleased that you enjoyed! I like Lord Hendricks quite a bit
@CloudStrike I think it should be out everywhere now as the mailer has gone out, but if it’s not for you it’s worth emailing support (at) choiceofgames (dot) com to check.
@mags I think it will probably restart automatically; it will probably be a good idea to restart anyway as the checkpoints are changed in this update and there were a few bugfixes (one weird one involved some imported Noblesse Oblige games not displaying the name of Gallatin College correctly in Royal Affairs, for example). You’ll know you have a completely up-to-date game because you’ll be able to restore to a previous chapter from the stats page, and you can just access the epilogue by continuing to play after what was previously the ending. Any issues, please drop an email to the above address as they’ll be able to tell you more intelligent things about how updates work than I will!
*I realised that in Honor Bound I wanted to be able to refer to whether or not the Royal Affairs PC had got married, or had managed to get married to someone the Queen disapproved of, because a royal getting married would be a big deal even in another country. Plus there were those options in the final chapter about “maybe we should elope” and such, plus the discussions about what the PC might be doing with their life…
Initially I thought about just putting a question in the Honor Bound questionnaire so the player could specify what happened in the last few years but it felt weird to summarise it like that in another game, so I decided to make players be able to play through it themselves, and to have some family, exploration, and life follow-up as well for those who didn’t want to get married. So, instead of 5 minutes and a couple of choices, I took a month and 50,000 words to write a full chapter, because I am contrary like that sometimes!
Also I got to figure out some Westerlind and Teranese traditions, which is always fun.
(There’s going to be some more bits and pieces referring to the events of the epilogue in Honor Bound once I’m done wrangling the current chapter I’m writing…)
