Yes that's a problem of 2d games using hand drawn art. Having the sprite reflect all the different equipment would mean drawing lots of different items, outfits, make sure they match, etc. Definitely not practical, for that 3d works better. But I don't do 3d games

Don't be afraid to think outside the box!

I don't do 3d games because they're too expensive, and honestly I prefer a good looking 2d game than a mediocre 3d game (what I would be able to do with my skill/budgets). If one day I can make a high quality 3d game, that will mean I'm having a good time

Even for 3D I'm certain it's still a pretty big pain in the butt. The difficulty in 2D is it simply increases the amount of art by... a lot. Like, as an example, even if you had only 2 different armor things, that still means you have to double the artwork load...

I want to make a suggestion. In Loren 2, please consider making it so we can click on the character protraits in a shop and open that particular character's rag doll. And please allow us to drag and drop characters in the inventory interface, so we can arrange our favorite 6 characters at the top of the lineup.

That would make things oh so handy!

I was thinking with Heileen 3 coming out and I have not played any of the Heileen games, it will be good to design the writing for Loren 2 in such a way that someone who has not played Loren 1, will still be able to get a summary of events in Loren 1 and can play Loren 2 without too many unanswered questions. And I hope Loren 2 will not have a totally new plot. I prefer the plot to be a logical continuation from Loren 1. And to have the old cast appear in the squeal as well. We are like old friends

Yes of course there will be a skippable introduction that continues the story from the first game and makes a quick summary of what happened. That's what we're doing also for Planet Stronghold 2
The drag&drop order in the inventory is an interesting idea. However Loren 2 might have a completely redesigned interface

just had to show you this sketch. I'm having A LOT of art done for this game (and will be out in 2014 already because of that, coloring all the images will take MONTHS!). Most of the other sketches are spoilers, but this ons is just... cool! Breza riding a royal Griffon

Breza riding her Griffon looks incredible, she's so cool. I don't even mind that this won't be ready until 2014. I just know it's going to be well worth the wait!.
Please let this be one of the wallpapers when the game does come out, I would love to use it for my background.

Yes I have plans to do lots of wallpapers with some cool images during the game. For the straight ladies and gays, there'll be some very interesting ones too (like Mesphit bathing on a lake... and so on)

Sounds good Jack!, I'm glad you have plans for having some lovely wallpapers for both us ladies(though I wouldn't call myself straight) as well as the guys.
I have great confidence in your ability to bring that good mixture of cute/sexy and tasteful artworks

Thanks for listening to suggestions and showing Griffons! An iconic symbol in the Loren series. Will Elenor have her own Griffon? Given her new status, she deserves nothing less I think.
Please give us more Loren expansions to tide us over till 2014.

I thought about doing another expansion for Loren to ease the wait of the sequel, there are many ideas to use, like the years before Loren takes place featuring other characters of the world and so on, but honestly the reality is that it will be hard. Aleema is busy writing Planet Stronghold 2, so I would like that she concentrates on that first. And honestly I can't see anyone else writing a new Loren game now
I'm not making any promises, we need to wait and see how things evolve through the course of next year!

A possible new Loren expansion !?!? If this happens it would be the best of so many good things coming in 2013
. ( Btw Jack, you said you'll reveal the Steampunk RPG in January, so I'm expecting the announcement on the 1st, just so you know
).
I wish we could clone Aleema, I'm sure she wouldn't mind

I asked her if she can send me a chunk of her hairs... I know a cloning lab around here that's not too much expensive...

I can't wait for the Loren sequel! <3 As much as I'd love a new expansion, I'd actually rather get Loren 2 faster.
I love Saren's and Elenor's new outfits. They're beautiful and I like that they actually look like something you'd wear in battle. Actually, speaking of clothes, are you making a sexy and a non-sexy mode just like in Loren 1? Because if you are, I'd like to request bigger differences.
I always played in the non-sexy mode, because I don't really like nudity for the sake of nudity. The only time I turned on suggestive content was for the completion of the romances. So, I really liked that the option was there. But Loren 1 kind of bombarded you with naked skin anyway - the romance end scenes really weren't much more suggestive than what you'd already seen with suggestive content turned off. (Just look at Jul or Dora, for example. Dora must feel so cold.
)

Yes there will be a VERY BIG difference. For example, the armor that Loren wear will be a real full plate mail
Also, there will be two versions of the ending romances, one like the first game, and another with more clothing. For some scenes, I prefer the more clothed version myself, it's more classy

Out of curiosity, has there been any update on the Mage and Healer outfits yet? It's been a few months since that came up.

Ah I have them all already, was busy working on other stuff. Here is a preview of the "sexy mage" outfit:
