This may be a very dumb question, but will there still be occasional soft moments/dialogue in this mod? As much as I LOVE bullying March (and him bullying me in return), I feel as if though part of his appeal is being able to cross the walls he so desperately guards himself with and witness a more vulnerable side of him.
Another question I have is if this is planned for release after Fields of Mistria's full release (since according to the roadmap this is likely(?) the last update until the final release), or if it will be released for the games current patch (v0.15.2 I think?), considering that there is still 8+ heart dialogue to be accounted for.
Obviously no pressure! I love the concept of this mod and I have no trouble waiting for however long it may take. <3 I apologise if I sound too formal or as if I'm trying to pressure you into completing this faster, English isn't my first language and I've been told the way I write/speak can unintentionally come off as demanding or arrogant.
Have a good day and I wish you all the best on this project!
Hi! Completely agree with you- and these will definitely be a progression into him being more vulnerable. My main thing with vanilla March is that you cross that boundary into him liking you really quick, and once you do the teasing and competition aspects are mostly gone.
There's going to be a progression of those softer moments that increase as his heart levels go up, so for a TLDR on my story post:
0-1♥: No vulnerability, mostly dismissive/hostile
2-3♥: Less hostile, more sarcastic. Start joking around with the farmer. He starts to be interested in you
4-5♥: He still sees you as a rival but starts to respect your skill/usefulness around Mistria. This is where he starts admitting to himself he has feeling, but won't admit it (typical tsundere lol)
6-7♥: A lot more warmth, but we don't lose that teasing. Flirting starts to start here- some innuendos, etc. His backstory and vulnerability starts to slip out here as well.
8+♥: At this point he is either your BFF or partner, so there's a lot of warmth & vulnerability & love. But he still likes to poke at you and tease you
My inspirations: Ilya/Shane, Sanji/Zoro, Rory/Paris (the rivaly aspect of making each other better), Dean/Cas, etc.
As for when it will release: As soon as I'm ready! I'm not planning to wait for the 1.0 release (unless it actually takes me that long to finish lol). If I do release before the update, my plan is to update the mod with additional date + marriage content.
My release plan is basically:
Release a "Demo" with mainly the vanilla content replaced + minor additions
Based on feedback, edit and expand with even more dialogue
Edit the heart event content
