Released: The Mythical Realm of Myrewood Isle - The Red Priestess Version 1.4

Love the game, great work indeed! Keep it up!

[r0nin47]

I'm not quite happy with the new "Quest hub" added in this last update, so being the perfectionist I am... I've decided to add six more encounters to the new section, and at least three variations to the repeatable visits, which will give it roughly the same amount of content as the other two main sections. I'll be adding these by the weekend, and then I'll finish the final act of this story.

I also managed to resurrect the hard drive full of pictures I thought I'd lost forever, so certain characters are going to get a bit more content before I consider this tease finished.

Now, some news that may disappoint fans of the original series... I will not be rebuilding the other episodes in EOS. It's too much work, and I'm enjoying writing the new chapters. It just doesn't make sense to go backwards when I have two and a half new chapters already under way.

Because there was interest in the past, I'm going to attempt something I've never done before, and allow the new chapter to be played from a female perspective. This means twice the amount of writing, but if it means more people can enjoy the series, then I'm willing to give it a try.

I will probably release a short "Test version" soon, and any feedback will be much appreciated.

Spoilers ahead for those who want a better idea of where I'm going with the series:

Spoiler: show

By the end of The Red Priestess, the following things will have taken place:
* Myr has been exposed as a false Goddess, and put to death, along with most of her followers
* Zora has created a Council to rule the Realm, alongside her daughter, and the player character from this chapter
* Magic is no longer outlawed
* Renya, Veryn and Mirawyn were killed during the attack on the Coven
* Delara has been exposed for what she is, and has fled across the ocean with Fiona and anyone who still supports her
* Many characters from past chapters have been pardoned by the Council, and given places at Court, allowing us to see them again in future content
* The elves have withdrawn from society, unhappy with the fact that all magic is now permitted
* Zora is assassinated by Istaria and the other remnants of Myr's followers

In the next chapter:
* Delara has gone completely batshit crazy, and figured out how to go back in time in the hope of changing the future
* Delara's crazy plot actually works, and the Realm is VERY different as a result...

Finally, I just want to make one thing very clear... Although I may create a Patreon at some point, where access to bonus content will be available, I will NEVER lock parts of the story behind a paywall of any sort. I am ONLY considering patreon as a means to collect donations for the insane amount of work that goes into making these teases.

By the way, the magic that I've learnt - once i've switched off the game, would it "save" and carry over to the next round when I open the game?

It doesn't save the game, so much as allow you to start at one of the newer sections once you've obtained the password.

Another large update has been posted this afternoon.

* All prison sections have been fixed, and a new dream encounter will open up a whole new path for you
* Zora has returned, and she has a very interesting proposition for you if you happen to find her...
* Added another way to encounter Zora through exploration if you end up escaping prison another way
* Depending on the path you chose, you may now meet the lovely Queen Sif of the Northern Isles

There will be one more major update to this tease, and then the story will continue in a new tease I plan to release by the end of the month.

Any news on the new tease?

Excited to play

I'm trying really hard to finish this, but every time I start to make any progress, Milovana goes down.

If the site developers are listening... For the love of God, STOP using cloudflare! It's trash, and it's the reason this site is always going down!

I'm going to remove the entire marriage storyline, and add a better option that becomes available once you complete the final assault on Myrewood Palace.

Don't read if you don't want spoilers!

Spoiler: show

In order to trigger the final series of encounters, you can either explore until you meet the required character/s, or skip ahead via the option on the starting page, which will take you straight to the character you need to meet to begin the events. This is for people who don't want to spend hours trying to find these encounters naturally.

As for the two main confrontations... Your choices have consequences.

If you let Sonja go up against Eros and his daughters alone, she will die, and this begins a fun, but apocalyptic scenario, where the denizens of the Abyss cross over, take on mortal forms, and eventually take over the Realm.

If you get help from Zora and her faction, Sonja will survive, opening up two possible endings.

You can make an agreement with Queen Sif to make it MUCH easier to defeat Myr and take over the Palace.

I've removed the entire chain of events to take back the Coven, and will be putting that into the next tease.

After Eros and Hellistra are defeated, and assuming you've taken control of Myrewood Palace, the following options will be available:

1. Crown yourself King of Myrewood Isle, and choose from one of four women to be your Queen
2. Become King-Consort to Sonja.
3. Let Sonja, or Zora take the Throne, abandon Myrewood Isle, and go hunt down Delara

Trying to finish things up this weekend, but we'll see if the site stays up long enough for me to do that... Fingers crossed!
