started working on the relationship talk. Poor Althea doesn't know yet that Riley will be at best her friend and nothing more

LOL too bad, maybe he'll let you braid his magnificent hair or something. Besties do that, riiight?

I kind of still want to hit on him as Althea though, just to see what he does

If you try to seduce the "wrong" character, there are some funny scenes indeed

Yes! I've always appreciated it when there's a chance to influence the characters' attitudes toward one another, especially when it's "just" a friendliness parameter and "nothing more". Besides, I prefer to play with female characters (okay, I admit there's a so-called Saren exception) and at least so far Riley is the most interesting piece of work there, so it will be a bonus to be able to get some insight into his story also from Althea's POV.

Any chance getting the same option to influence the relations between Rowinda and the POV character?

Since this was supposed to be a SHORT GAME (haha, what I fool I was!) to ease the wait for Loren 2 and other bigger RPGs, the writer only wrote the main romances. But I could of course ask him or use the other writer that is helping me with the sidequests to write the other character camp dialogues. Rowinda might be funny to talk to indeed

short game lol, I think I might spend more time on the first act nightmare than I spent on an entire loren hard playthrough

Yes exactly. In the end will be not short for sure have less story (written words) probably yes, but as for gameplay will be a LOT bigger.

This game is good for Loren 2 though, even if it might delay it. From a design PoV you have already pulled off a few "hacks" and I'm hoping the Loren 2 skill trees will feel more inspired now that you might use cooler ideas from square one. And as far as lore goes, it makes the game richer that there's another story in the same universe.

a screenshot from a scene in act2 Master Yelding is a true businessman (and will be a very tough boss fight!) I love the interaction between Krimm and Riley

Out of curiosity: How many (new,not previously used in Loren) backgrounds in total are there in the game?
