It’s time to talk about the first robotic male love interest of my games! Before, there was only the female Tanya of Bionic Heart that was an android, but she was more human-like. Instead Lucius looks like… a real robot, as you can see above 😉
And here’s more about him directly from the writer:
Name: Lucius
Nation of Origin: –
Service Branch: Imperial Robotics
Description:
Built by Luna-Ferrix Industries, Lucius is a rarity; he is among the first generation of self-aware robots developed by humanity. This isn’t to say there weren’t robots before as the RoboAnts demonstrate, but Lucius is definitely something on the cutting edge.
Though constructed as a male adult, Lucius is innocent in his interactions with others. True, he has the accumulated knowledge to draw on, but he has no context to place it. As a result of this, he is very curious about what goes on around him, and will sometimes place himself in situations which, if he was human, would be hazardous to his health.
Lucius is a direct, if trusting soul, and still has some trouble distinguishing between turns of phrase and direct commands, much as the kitchen staff found out when he proceeded to bake enough pies to fill the cafeteria.
Lucius’ construction also raises some further implications. Luna-Ferrix sees Lucius as the first in a wave of robot servants and soldiers which will net them a healthy profit, but other people wonder whether it is morally appropriate to allow one’s ‘tools’ to be aware to start with.
However, despite others’ distrust, Lucius has shown himself to be a reliable, loyal person to those around him.
I am quite curious to see what people will think about his “romance story” 🙂 I am looking forward to it!
Various games updates
Progress have been made on several games:
Roger Steel script is now 100,000 words long! Is still not finished, though 🙂 The game will also feature a very particular theme song by Boossara (same singer of SOTW theme song).
PSCD script is at good point too (the main missions at least).
Queen Of Thieves art is being redrawn by artist and I’m very pleased by the results! Just take a look at the picture below, featuring the new female romances of the game:
From left to right: Therjalla the elven healer, Moirgane the human bartender and Mary-Ann the human blacksmith.
Story-wise, the new writer is fixing the old script, so this part is going fast (since scenes have been written already, she can change some parts but doesn’t need to brainstorm/spend time thinking what to write for most of it). For the yuri romances I guess will take a bit more time. Anyway this time I want to release the game with both romances genders available, so to not repeat something like Nicole… At least there are “only” 3 characters to write! 😉
I love Mary-Ann she looks so cool. O.O
what genders are available for romancing Lucius?
At the moment, Lucius is only available as a romance for female players.
Speaking of Nicole; is the expansion still in progress? And what about loren 2?
I know, there are projects which get more attention then others at the moment, but i do hope that some of them aren’t abandoned and would share the same fate as eye of argonia. Sometimes i get the idea that there are more projects running then there is time for it. There is now that expansion of nicole,then there is roger steel, queen of thieves, planet stronghold colonial defense, loren 2, c14, undead lily and also tower of destiny. That’s 8 games in total. ok, one of them is an add-on, but still. And probably i forget one or two. Somebody needs a vacation i think.
Haha yes, I need a vacation! 😀
No worries, I always finish all the games I start. Maybe sometimes I need to step down a bit the features, and some might be delayed, but in the end I always finish them.
Nicole expansion will be out next year. Loren 2 I don’t know, mainly depends on writer.
