In case you missed it, during the past weeks the beta expansion for Loren Amazon Princess was released and available to play as pre-order.
Of course I want to thank all the people who played it and found many bugs, but I think we’re almost at the end of the testing. My idea was to release the expanion officially this weekend and start promoting it next week. We reached version 1.1q so for sure it has been tested well! 🙂
Please remember that to play the game with expansion you need to visit my forums and download the .zip file containing the beta version. More info on my forums:

Once the game is officially out of course the game will come as 3 separate downloads for each platform, with a full .exe installer for Windows as usual (I noticed many people were confused as how to use the .zip). Also don’t forget that the price will go up to $9.99 from $7.99 so the special offer will end very soon, very likely this Sunday.
Loren sequel is now official
I realized that I never announced it officially except in my forums, so here it goes: we’re working on Loren’s sequel which won’t be out before next summer (maybe later…). This is official, unless something really bad happens to me, my writer or my artists. I hope nothing happens! 😀
I said I wouldn’t post any preview because is too early, but one thing I want to post: a sneak peek of the new Saren / Elenor armors.
Now they look like real warriors, right? One of the major complaints I got for the first game was how unrealistic the armor looked, and even if I clearly did it to add some sexyness to the game I agreed it was too much. The armors above are actually the sexy versions of them, so there are even more strong/covering armors!
I won’t say much about the plot, except that will be more original and less clichè than the first game, and that the main theme will be if the Demons can cohexist peacefully with the other races. Jul will be a playable character alongside with many new cool ones. All the first game character will be present too, though some won’t be playable.
But I’ve already said enough, there will be time to talk about it!
Heileen 3
The work on Heileen 3 continues, even if needed to find another background artist to finish some missing backgrounds. Meanwhile, Loren’s interface artist will work on the game GUI too. Here’s a nice work in progress of the sin/virtues and skills system:
I know, it seems almost a RPG! 😉 but don’t worry, it won’t be so complex, it will only be a dating sim with some statistics and jobs, a bit like Spirited Heart.
Finally I have a surprise coming next week. I can’t say much about it yet, but I think many people will be pleased to see it. Follow me on Twitter / Facebook to know when it will go live!
The coloring for Loren’s sequel is top notch!! I loved the art, but I think it’s looking much better now. And the design of the outfits <3 <3 Omg. Saren's little beret is love.
Yes the new coloring is quite cool indeed, I agree 🙂
I hate to nitpick but PLEASE tell me there will be an option for helmet off/on? XD
SO glad they added that in Dragon Age 2 and honestly I play 90% of the games I play if they have that option in with helmet off.
ps. *crossing fingers for a Thomas-like romance from Amber (or he is added later in Amber but I’d still like one in Loren to!)* XD
Yes you can turn all the helmet/hats off (there are others for the other classes Mage, Healer, etc).
Mmmm… beret.
Also, I wouldn’t exactly call the first game “cliche,” for all that it DID crib a little from other games. If nothing else, I really liked the “character boss rush” at the very end. That sort of thing is the REASON I play open-ended RPGs.
I would like to say, though, while the iron is hot, that it always bugged me that Loren was presented in the [i]writing[/i] as being taller than the average man, but is always [i]shorter[/i] than Saren when they’re on screen together. Not a terrible bit of game-breaking idiocy, just a little nit-pick I’d like to get out of the way before she gets official art.
Thanks for the update. 🙂
Well I didn’t think the game story was clichè, but some people did, so… I just wanted to reassure them 😉
About the game art, is very hard to keep the right proportion on screen with 2d, since sometimes you maybe want to have the sprites zoomed-in like in a comic book, but is very hard to give the sense of perspective / depth of field. I hope I managed to express myself 🙂
lol. I REALLY like Elenor’s new armor and the helm is great! well, I’m very curious about how you will tie both games so I ill stop coming here from now on. I will forget you exist LOL until next year and I’m not into preivew teasing lol. well have fun making the sequel then.
Lol and instead there’s a horde of people DEMANDING I post previews of Thief outfits and more 😀
Omg Saren is soooooooo sexy~! And I wish Elenor had longer hair :c
Nice armour though! Can’t wait to see Rei again~! PRECIOUS EEEEEEELLLLLF <3
