Added 2021-04-03 19:44:24 +0000 UTCPrologue A. - The beginning chapter -
Getting and controlling Keepo. Fighting in your first dungeon. Finding and recruiting Black. Having a confrontation where you lose Black wind up in prison. - These are the main objectives.

Prologue B. - Prison Life -
The prison section is separated into 7 days: 1-5 you'll work in a mine, on a beach, or in a forest. On the sixth day you can rest. And on the seventh you can do some extracurricular activities which can raise your stats, however you'll need to perform your duty in the mine well enough, or you won't be able to do as such and/or you'll be punished.
You'll go through 4 weeks of this, meeting Jethro on the second and training with him, before being released from prison by someone so that you can work for the people who locked you up. You can also discover different events in the forest and beach, helping to seal demons or fighting off pirates, and have a chance to see smaller events in the prison on the days when you can have those extracurricular activities.

Chapter 1 -
You instantly get taken to the authorities who will tell you of what will be expected of you before being reunited with Black. After that you'll need to go and join a group of mercenaries - this will be how you earn the bulk of your money in game at the beginning - and then go help the local governor of the region. After going into a sewer you'll then have to go on a train to the second area and second chapter.
Yes, this part seems small, but that's because you'll have A LOT of extra side quests to do.
MANY OF WHICH WILL NEED TO BE DONE IN ORDER TO UNLOCK THE FULL POTENTIAL OF YOUR CHARACTERS!!!
College -
This is where you'll be able to rest up for free and unlock many of the skills/abilities for your characters which include:
Martial Arts Class - Where you'll gain most abilities, plus belts which will grant characters certain extra stats and whatnot. Black will also be able to purchase new gloves for him to use as weapons at the college shop after every level you go up in rank.
Cooking - There are very few healing items in game, you'll mostly be cooking in order to restore health and stats.
Armory - Where most weapons will need to be crafted since it's illegal for weapons to be sold in this country. This will open up more later on.
Arts and Music - Chester will gain new music skills here once he comes into the party.
Research & Development - It's here where Black will gain his new abilities.
Magic Class - Where Keepo will gain his new abilities and where Jethro will be able to do alchemy in order to craft metals and stones needed for making new weapons in the Armory.
Library - Where research can go on to learn about various places within the game, plus monster weakness, status ailments and so on.
Outside you'll be able to purchase most of the food needed for cooking, though cook books will need to be found in order to craft what foods you need. As stated earlier, you can buy gloves here for Black.
Further on there will be a FUN CITY where you can fight in a coliseum where you can fight for prizes, a casino to gamble, maybe a place to get tattoos (not sure on this just yet) and a place to buy accessories (not sure on this but likely). This will open much later on since the items here will be late game breaking.
Mercenary Guild -
This can be found in the main city and its here where you can do a multitude of quests to get money. Some will be as simple as fetch quests, other will be a bit more complicated and need the party to do odd things, like fight monsters, steal from others, collect certain items, and so on.
There will be one of these, or a notice board, in every city. However, you can only take one quest at a time (for the sake of my sanity when trying to make sure that events don't crisscross one another).
You'll also have a wanted board for monsters which can be fought in certain regions.
WARNING: THESE GUYS WILL BE VERY POWERFUL!!!
Stealing - You can steal from various peoples houses, but you'll need keys to open their drawers, houses, etc... You can purchase these from a kobold in the sewers.
Skill Slots - In the game you start off with limited skill slots but can increase their number by finding certain objects in the game.
BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THESE, AS SOME MAY BE MISSABLE!!
Gay Intimacy & Sex - I don't think I need to say this, but there will be gay erotic art/stories in the game. Much of the art I'll be posting here by weekly (depends on how fast the artist works on my ideas).
There are four main regions in the game which will open up as the game progresses, and you can get to them by train, which of course will have various events happen to them as you go along.
Spiraling Tower - I want to make a 50/100 floor tower that works like what you can find in Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door, but I'll have to see how it fits in the game, as this will be a really late event to go through, if it happens at all.
Ending - This will be subject to some change, depending on how the story progresses.
What I originally had in mind, with the multiple endings, may not fit or it may. Right now it's touch and go before I'm extending certain character moments, so this is your PSA on that.
Animations - I'm going to use certain new animations for the party, I need to add sound to their design, so this will be something I do closer to the end of the game, as the added size of the files will make this game probably close to 500GB (Forgive me!!)
Music - I'm adding in more orchestral pieces I find online to separate the games I make from each other, but again, most will be added in later because the extended file size messes with my saving the game. (I have lost work time and again because of the game suddenly shutting down without prompt when I save. No clue why this happen, but thank the GODS for alcohol!!)
That's all I can think of say at the moment. I'll be working on chapter 2 starting next week and hopefully will be done with it by the end of April, so the entirty of the game will probably come out around December, given how big I want this game to be. Just so you know.
Thank you all for your contributions.
Also, let me know if you want me to show you screen shots of what I'm working on during my updates.
