Hello Maggs! I hope you’re doing well. (✿^‿^)
It’s been a while since our last interaction, and I just wanted to say how excited I am for your upcoming mods especially the Immersive Lance mod. I actually paused my current save file where my farmer is dating Lance because I want to start a completely new playthrough to fully experience your mod when it releases.
I have a few questions, if you don’t mind:
First, do you have an estimated timeframe for when your new mods might be released? I completely understand that mod creation takes a lot of time and effort, I’m just curious about the current progress.
Second, regarding the Year 4 Dark Event in SVE, where Mr. Qi kidnaps the farmer and places them under a Vow of Silence, are you planning to add any cutscenes or dialogue showing Lance reacting to what happens to his farmer spouse?
And lastly, there’s the monster loot item called the Void Shard, a stone corrupted by dark magic. Since Lance specializes in monster research, would you consider adding dialogue or a small event related to it? I was a little surprised that Lance wasn’t more involved in that situation in SVE, especially since it’s also one of his loved gifts.
That’s all from me! Thank you so much for creating and sharing such wonderful mods with the community. 💖 I’m really looking forward to what you make next and please don’t forget to take care of yourself too. ☺️
Hi! Ohhhhh good questions!! For Lance, I'm about 10% done with his dialogue and events, and I'd say overall around 50% done with Dragonsfall, but I have no idea when it will be ready for release. I'll have a beta release later this year, but that's the best I can guess for the moment. Every time I open it, I discover more things I need to do like world map edits, interaction edits, sprite creation, map tweaks, forageables, furniture... the list goes on! Along with my tendency to suddenly have new ideas that must be added, like Sebastian the IT Manager, haha! I'll be regularly posting about progress from now on, so you'll be seeing a lot more about the mod. Hmm... a diabolical maze...
For the Mr. Qi event, yes, I plan to have reactions and probably events for spouses around that, especially Lance and Killian. Mr. Qi will be lucky to survive. Can you imagine being the guy who kidnapped Lance's spouse? Lance, the combat mage, trained by a Dragon Knight, and generally able to stand toe to toe with the Crimson Badlands behemoth... he thought there wouldn't be consequences? There is also the Camilla kidnapping... why is farmer always being kidnapped?? Farmers are irresistible, that's why! LOL!
For the void shard, that item is a key player in the Dragonsfall storyline, much more to come about that and void magic in general, much of this I'm pulling from SVE, RRRR, and what little I can find here and there. Not much is explained for canon, so I'm keeping the Dragonsfall story self-contained in the hopes it will not conflict with Castle Village. Mana is also a key concept, and is used heavily in the Killian storyline (mostly based on RRRR concepts). None of this will change the vanilla canon or characters, so no worries about turning Pelican Town into a magical village, ha! Lance will talk about a lot of the lore in his weekly chat event to build a foundation since Killian is not of the teaching persuasion. He tried... but got bored.
To the code cave, Sebby!!
