LOP GOLD road map
June 12, 2020First of all I would like to thank you for your comments in our post “What turns you on?“. Your feedback is a very valuable material for us. We’ll consider all propositions and think about implementing some of your ideas in the following titles. Both in a large scale LOPGOLD projects as well as smaller titles, where we can experiment a little more.
So, let’s see what we plan to release this year:
SEDUCING THE THRONE EXPANSION
Yesterday I’ve completed implementation of all texts matched with images into the game file. That was a very difficult tasks cause we got a lot of old / new / modified scenes and working with such number of texts and visuals isn’t easy. My next task is to create connections between those scenes and implementing stat system to all actions.
I’m dying to see the final effect – how our gameplay changes and new scenes influence the whole experience. Kiki, Lola and Flick are really going to get kinky this time and Elluna… that’s would be very complicated relationship 🙂
Development is going very well and there is a big chance that I’m going to release this game in July. Let’s keep fingers crossed.
PLEDGE: EXTRA CREDITS
Next, we’re going go release PLEDGE – both for lopgold.com subscribers as well as STEAM players. This Monday I’ve received complete texts from Daman and I’m still waiting for the rest of the renders. With the development process I’ll tweak gameplay and add new save slot system and improved sex scenes gallery. A lot of new content, more MALE / FEMALE action, new characters and super hot new sex scenes with already meet students (and their teachers).
We estimate the release date around the 1st of September.
ELEANOR: VIOLET ASTER
All texts are completed – waiting for renders.
Is this going to be a massive update? Yes it is!
It will be just enormous – we’ll implement a lot of new scenes, new female character that you can date, new location and new small actions that will add variety to your daily schedule. Thrilled!
All Eleanor’s fans gonna feast this autumn.
MY NAME IS DAVID
When we’ll complete our previously mentioned projects, we’ll start working with David. Texts are ready, images as well.
I’m very hyped for this project cause STOPER’s renders are really awesome (he also rendered CALL GIRL DENISE) and both the story and characters, we’ve come up for this game, are really unique and emotional. I just can’t wait to start putting everything together.
We’ll work hard to release this game in 2020.
Really excited for the Pledge expansion! Seems like James is getting extra content which is great!
I’m looking forward to all these releases!
2 questions: the redhead on the first Eleanor image is the same one that was introduced on the first expansion? And who is writer for My Name is David?
When is the steam version of Elanor expansion coming out.
It has been a while and no updates.
Probably not until steam has better anti-piracy protection. The steam version was pirated while the online version hasn’t been so Leo won’t update on steam until it has better anti-piracy. Or never and good riddance.
Than why release Pledge:Extra Credit on Steam? If Leo knoes it is going to be pirated.
Why so angry bro?
Every game that’s not always online will be pirated. Steam will allow more people to discover LOP games which is a positive but they will be pirated pretty fast which is the negative. But always online has the reverse problems. The games will be hard to pirate but it won’t reach a wider audience.
Plus you have the limitations of playing a game in a browser versus downloading it, where the game size needs to be smaller so the visuals can’t be in higher resolutions, the animations have to be less complexed with fewer frames, and the amount of content might reach a certain limit.
Compare Being a DIK which is on Steam to Eleanor 3. One game is designed to play via download while the other was designed to play in a browser, and it shows. While I thought Eleanor 3 was okay, compared to other adult games on Steam, it seems most people are ignoring it. All of the game reviews are in double figures and are all mixed.
And if you know there’s more content for Eleanor 3 out there but you have to sign up to a website to play it, even though you bought the game on Steam, then why would you be interested in buying more games on Steam from LOP? I don’t know if Pledge: Extra Credits is the final version of the game, but even if it is, I thought LwS: Forbidden Fruit was the final version of that and a few years later a new expansion was released. If the game you buy doesn’t get the updates or at least the option to buy them as DLC, then I’m sure a group of people, might be a small group, will be discouraged to pick future games up.
Personally, I’d prefer an option to buy most of the games on Steam but without the reassurance of future expansions being available on there, and the certainty of it being immediately pirated which means the team are less likely to put there biggest games on sale there (LwT), I don’t see the point in it. Unless LOP decides that they’ll make an ultra high quality, download-only game, I don’t think Steam will be a big success for them compared to the website. The best thing to do if you are currently tight on money is to buy a month or two subscription every 6-12 months. Eleanor 3 is $ 14.99 on Steam so for a bit more you can play all of the games with the latest content, which from the look of things, isn’t going to be the case for the Steam versions.
I hope it changes but I wouldn’t get my hopes up, I’d ignore the Steam games for now.
You sum it pretty well but don’t forget the awful Steam Cut (30% as far as I know).
GOG has no anti-piracy protection whatsoever and yet CDPR is swimming in money. Maybe anti-piracy protection is not the problem? A Steam owner won’t subscribe to LOP Gold just to get add-ons anyway so I fail to see what goal it serves tbh. If revenue from Steam is not great and piracy hurts the profits from subscriptions, then simply don’t release newer games there. Might as well support Eleanor since it’s already there or remove it from the store altogether. This half-measure doesn’t help anybody.
Oh, I’m sure it’s all about piracy, but the approach Leo takes is not a financial one, but a personal one. It has to do with pride and nothing else. Even if, from a financial perspective, it will no longer work in the long run, he will still do the same. And looking back at some crap people said about him or his games after not paying one cent, I do respect his position, even thou it hurt me back then and it still does now (albeit to a lesser degree). A couple of years have passed and there’s still no one to top LOP team’s work. I’ve bought all LOP’s Steam games but not once have I opened or downloaded them and I don’t regret buying them.
Hope they do well and keep their paying for renting fans happy :D.
The Calendar this week was amazing…..
Can’t wait for Eleanor…….
Can’t wait for STT.previews look amazing. I’m so glad that Eleanor is still getting so much new content,it’s your best project at the moment.
