BTW will there be Gnomes?

Hi everyone!
And just like that, the campaign is over. We also managed to meet all the stretch goals!
Once Kickstarter has finished processing the funds, I'll reach out to backers regarding how rewards can be reclaimed. A lot of creators like to send backers to fulfillment sites, but I prefer communicating with backers directly through kickstarter's private messages, especially for a project of this size.
Once again, I'd like to thank all of you for supporting me. Crowdfunding is one of the few ways that tiny gamedevs like me can stay afloat, and remain independent/do work we love, instead of work that pays well.
An extra special thank you to returning backers. A little less than 40% of all backers have also backed one of my previous projects. I'm astounded by this number and hope it means you are continuing to enjoy my work!
Here is the link to my discord: https://discord.gg/h9QBRDENHH
It's where I'm most active, and the best place to ask me questions or just hang out.
Whoooo! [party face]
But if there are no Gnomes how will I be able to play as one?;BTW will there be Gnomes?
Closest we get will probably be dwarves.

Can I create a Gnome and join the Merchant's or Banker's Guild?Chargen. Basically the same thing copied over from Vampire Syndicate and That Which Rises, except this time you choose your faction later in the game.

Hi everyone!
In this update I’d like to talk about the game areas that you can explore. Baldr’s Squid Isekai is not a big game geographically since you are, ostensibly, trapped in a life-or-death competition.
There will be four major areas, as well as some secret areas I won’t be discussing here.
The Commissary
The Commissary is a small town filled with shops and other useful features. Here you can purchase equipment and items, stock up on food, level up, etc. All in relative safety: combat is forbidden in the Commissary and enforced by town guards called Cops (who for some reason look like modern law enforcement and have the special skill: Shooting You with Bullets).
The Wild
The Wild is a dangerous, yet neatly maintained, forest that lays between the Commissary and Dorm Space. There are no rules here. Players must be on guard against monsters, forest goblins, territorial dwarves and of course, competitors from other dorms. Expect a lot of combat encounters separated by some strategic decision-making.
Dorm Space
Dorm Space houses the three dorms that players will be able to join. It is a large, open area that can be explored and is safe… for now. There are plenty of optional encounters here, as well as secrets and “side quests.”
The dorms themselves are large, cozy buildings capable of housing a small army. The interiors will be split between the Common Area, Mess Hall, Armory, Treasury, and your own private room.
The Arena
The Arena is the smallest area of the game and is purely combat focused. Here, you can fight unlocked boss battles as well as the final enemy of the game, the color-cordinated Cosmic Elder Dragon. However, getting to the dragon is no easy feat, as you’ll have to save up enough coin to even challenge her in the first place.
That’s it! Excited to share more about the game as it heads towards its Early Access release.
Everybody gangsta until Reddit finds this parody funny and Tyranicon becomes a millionaire.
as someone who plays a lot of porn games, some constructive criticism/things I'd like to see related to sex scenes:
look the 'anime' art style for the girls is great why not animate those for scenes instead of the pixel crap? same for the men. and again really important please no half ghost chopped hot dog men in scenes it's so weird
- sex scenes need to be animated in the 'anime' art style of the characters (not pixel sex, that doesn't work), check out 'paradise lust' for really good examples, also 'peeping dorm manager' and 'aura hentai cards' for something more in the art style of this game.
- it's greatly preferred if sex scenes are interactive (like you can click what you want to do anal/bj etc or faster/harder/slower etc..)
- the guy needs to be fully realized too. there's a screenshot with like.. a quarter of a penis during a bj scene (???) it's really bizarre, looks like you cut a hot dog in half and stuck it in her mouth?
- you absolutely need a gallery in the main menu to revisit unlocked scenes
----------------------
like i'm just saying as it looks right now i'd pass on this but if you did a better job with the scenes it'd be a buy
in hard west those would turn into scars, being both positive and negative. Permanent too, like missing finger, eye etcI'm probably putting too much work into a porn parody but I'm completely redesigning how traumas work so they are more dangerous, persist until healed, and will really fuck you up.
Brings up an interesting question. How "grindy" do you expect the game to be? I do like low-level goblin encounters but the mention of them makes me think I might end up fighting goblins over and over 5000 times. RPGs are a tricky balance for me - I want to feel progress and test myself against tough enemies until I can beat them easily, but after that I don't want to fight them any more. It's common for RPG repetitiveness to wear out its welcome.Also, everybody likes low-level goblin encounters, right?

why is the font so unpleasantView attachment 45007
Chest storage screen. Disregard the 500 storage capacity, that's just devtools :D. If you're playing the intended difficulty, chests will super useful.
Can we enslave them and run a troupe of goblin whores? Can I have a kobold waifu? So many questions.Men, I think I've done it. I think I've finally designed an elegant system. One that's simple but nuanced, and more importantly, fun.
