I participated with Spirited Heart + GIrl&#8217;s Love and the Android version. Overall I got a lot of traffic (over 8k uniques between 24th May &#8211; 1st June) and sold 116 copies of Spirited Heart and 127 of Girl&#8217;s Love for desktop, while the Android sales have been 123.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the low price of $0.99, Android sales total was about $110-120, while because of the &#8220;higher&#8221; price of $9.99, the desktop sales were a nice total of $1347. Not Earth-shattering numbers of course, but remember that those were direct sales only, not Steam or iOS! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Overall I&#8217;m very happy about the result and the initiative and hope that distributors\/portals took notice, the few that still don&#8217;t let developer choose their own prices. Luckily, there aren&#8217;t many, mostly are the casual portals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Loren Expansion update<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to focus during this month on finishing Loren&#8217;s expansion. I have already scripted a good amount of quests\/battles, even if I still have to decide some part of the plot (alas a very important one, and I&#8217;m a bit stuck). I also have decided to add a pet, a nice hellhound called Trouble. You can see the inventory image below:<\/p>\n<div class=\"p_embed p_image_embed\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/image\/2012\/06\/41678063-nicepet.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Nicepet\" src=\"http:\/\/getfile8.posterous.com\/getfile\/files.posterous.com\/temp-2012-06-01\/kgcEuBuHxceIfIIqoueooprqGIguuJbcIFGzhwGFDmsbBtFbyqDjACznbvqz\/nicepet.jpg.scaled500.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>I decided to add it because I realized that the total amount of characters with the expansion was 13&#8230; and in the new level up screen, there was an empty space! As you can see below:<\/p>\n<div class=\"p_embed p_image_embed\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/image\/2012\/06\/41678106-newquestlevelup.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Newquestlevelup\" src=\"http:\/\/getfile9.posterous.com\/getfile\/files.posterous.com\/temp-2012-06-01\/fbnqwFjfrAyensjpyCBmsAJnHEgBiezHjfFxDrgwhsCoHwBDCplunjlpJvqH\/newquestlevelup.jpg.scaled500.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>&#8230;that was unacceptable! So I&#8217;ve added this extra character\/pet, which has some nice unique skills (already implemented and tested).<\/p>\n<p>What you can expect in the expansion? Let&#8217;s make a list:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>4 new recruitable characters: Sauzer, Trouble, Chambara and Mesphit<\/li>\n<li>2 new &#8220;bisex&#8221; romances: you can date with male\/female playing character both Mesphit and Chambara<\/li>\n<li>several new zones, including the Tomb Of Twilight, The Cyclops tribe, The catacombs and of course, The Castle Of N&#8217;Mar<\/li>\n<li>new interesting NPCs that will offer multiple-solution quests, Fallout-style. You&#8217;ll be able to do their quest, or change your mind and kill them! (they&#8217;re evil, so no regrets!)<\/li>\n<li>each character will have a specific quest with unique reward item: you&#8217;ll discover more about the backgrounds of the base-game characters. Help Rei and retrieve his special Crossbow, help Draco and discover more about his past (and get a cool cloak) and so on.<\/li>\n<li>new storyline about demons that will change the game ending and establish a new starting point for future possible games\/sequels<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So as you can see, there&#8217;s lots of interesting stuff in the expansion. The current goal is trying to have a beta by the end of this month! Stay tuned for more updates, and if you haven&#8217;t already, go check the <a href=\"http:\/\/winterwolves.com\/lorenamazonprincess.htm\">original game<\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today the BecauseWeMay initiative has ended.
