Oh wow, the new romance teasers look really good! The artist seems to have really improved since the original Planet Stronghold.

And as an aside, Prince Cliff could just have a consort who would act as a birth mother for his child. Probably wouldn't even need to become Queen. I mean, even now there are surrogate mothers, and speaking politically I see no reason that Cliff couldn't have Joshua become his partner regardless, gender probably isn't going to be as much a problem as social class and given his status as a war hero Joshua might still be a fine candidate.

why he would need a consort? just pay someone to be surrogate mother like elton john did, no need for consorts or sci fi technology

i have a question about cliff. In the Empire path he was incarcerated (and probably disinherited), but what happens to him in the rebellion path? does he still with a claim to the empire throne even after "betraying" his father?

It would be an alternative idea if Planet Stronghold lore required Cliff being married to the birth mother or something. I mean, in that situation Joshua might become Cliff's concubine instead.
I did mention surrogate mothers in my post, so it is a perfectly good idea too.

:lol:

I think consort might be a little more likely than concubine. Though that would be a pretty unexpected plot twist.

Well the game starts like the first one ended, with both Cliff and Shiler as leader of the new "govern". I don't want to put too many spoilers but I'll only say that it's not a situation that's going to last for long :lol:
Also as you can imagine, since there's the romance option, you should be able to free Cliff from the prison somehow, otherwise you couldn't get his romance ending playing as Joshua loyal to the Empire. We're still working on the details but don't want to exclude any romance possibility because of plot or previous/starting situation :)

i havent played the rebel path, so i didnt knew what happened

i have suggestion on how to introduce cliff in the empire path: it would be needed to change king oscar( make him a competent leader who is worried about earth, its citizens and his son, but he would still be a human supremacist and racist). he would give joshua a mission to convince cliff to change sides, saying that Earth will need the prince help to placate the maradaa or the planet would die withouth the new resource
with this you give the player a real reason to free Cliff and make the Empire more grey

Hmmm...it doesn't look like Shiler's tailbone is part of her tail. For animals with tails, they're an extension of the spine, not a fork. This makes the tail structurally more sound than it would be if it were a fork. I suppose most people won't notice or care. My eye for detail finds it odd however.

Laka is adorable with "her" large eyes. Given her combination of human and animal-like qualities, I can't decide if I want to kiss her or put a collar on her and pet her, maybe both in a reverse chambara-elenor sort of relationship. :lol: If "she" has visible man parts however, that would be a deal-breaker for me personally as far as a romance is concerned, as I'm not into those sorts of "extras". I wonder how others feel.

Haha well actually there's an image with a collar :lol: (some kind of futuristic one). Won't say much more because is a spoiler.
And no she has no visible male parts in the romances, that's why we counted it towards the females as romance, since we could say that is "75% female and 25% male" (a horrible way to say it but well I can't find a better way with my English sorry).

I hope it's a cute collar, maybe studded with emeralds to match her eyes. :mrgreen:

Cool! But I have to ask, if she has no visible male parts, then what's the 25% her of that is male? :?:
