ANNIVERSARY POLL!

For those of you who don't already know, next week (June 16th) marks the one year anniversary of Corrupted Kingdoms! It's been a hell of a journey to this point, and honestly I'm just so happy and humbled to have been able to share it with all of you.

So! A little while back I asked for suggestions on ways we could mark the occasion and there was a flood of ideas and suggestions! I've picked out the ones that I think work best, and that's what's listed below.

(In-game events are out, I'm afraid, as the logistics of it, not to mention the strain on in-game lore, is just too much).

Here's the details of what each poll option means:

#1 LIVESTREAM:  I will host a livestream, which will either be the stream chat and I making an event for the game together (during which I'll show you my process in creating an event from start to finish) which will be put in the update for that week, or else playing video games - either with Patrons/Subs or solo. You'd decide!

#2 ALL-DAY DISCORD CHAT:  I will sit in the voice-chat channel on the CK Discord all day, talking to anyone who stops by, answering questions, taking requests and screen-sharing by demand!

#3 PIXIE ADVENTURE PHOTOSHOOT:  Another photoshoot, the same as when I went to Portugal in November, showing Pixie exploring the real world with me and all the various adventures she gets into on a daily basis!

#4 FANART CONTEST:  Anyone can submit their fanart for CK! The winner will receive a small cash prize, and the top three submissions (as voted on by Patrons/Subs) will all be made into in-game laptop wallpaper and poster decorations. Artists will get full credit, of course!

#5 DON'T DO ANYTHING:  Vote for this if you don't want any special celebration, or you don't much care either way. This option means I'll spend the whole week focusing entirely on the update instead of dedicating part of my time to an anniversary event!

You can vote for as many options as you like, but only the most highly-voted option will become reality. If we get fewer than 100 votes total by Friday then I'll assume that indicates a lack of interest, and the poll will default to #5.

No matter how the poll goes, though, I'm honestly so blown away that we've made it this far, and I can't thank all of you enough. Whether it's financial support or simply keeping my spirits going with kind words, I couldn't have done any of this without you.

Thank you!

Sorry for the dont.. but we all want more of that game lol just awsome

Thanks a lot! I'm really glad you're enjoying the game, and Pixie in particular. She's certainly a lot of fun to write for! :)

Well I like to say that you are doing an awesome job! "I love Pixie" To me she makes the show, her smart azzed remarks as well as her being shy just adds to the girl she is! I would never say no to anything in regards to her, but,, if you like I'd say keep at it but make some more for the PIXIE! I love to laugh at her antics!

Rick Ulrich

Haha, well the "Don't Do Anything" doesn't mean I'll be taking a break (I wish!) - it just means that I'll focus entirely on that week's update rather than any special celebration stuff. Still, I appreciate so many people wanting me to have a rest! ^_^

Looks like youll be taken a break soon haha thou the photoshoot is coming close

Jef Almero

I'd really like that too - someone commissioned artwork of some of the girls in the game and they look great! I'd really like to see more :) Pixie's schoolgirl outfit will be making a return once more of the college content opens up! Expect some unique scenes and special events if you've bought her outfit :)

I'd love a fanart contest, imagine all the lovely art! ;3; Also I have a question, why can't we dress Pixie in the schoolgirl uniform in chapter 2?

Fortunately, I love my work! :) But thanks, I appreciate it!

I'm glad you're enjoying it! :) Thanks for the kind words - and the support!

I appreciate the kind words and the vote of confidence :) Looks like "livestream" isn't going to win the poll, but it's been requested by so many people that I'll probably set it up at some point in the future!

Haha, well maybe you should "think about" a certain someone who needs to relax... ;)

Aww, thanks - I appreciate it! :)

It doesn't look like "livestream" is going to win the poll, but it's certainly a requested-enough thing that I may still do it in the future! :)

Haha, nobody needs to see that! ;)

Thanks, I appreciate it! :)

just vibe. do what you love and take some breaks if you need it.

I love this game, just started playing a couple of days ago, lovin everything about it! thanks!

Ian Staines

yeah, just relax man. Your weekly release is more than enough for me. But just a little livestream maybe good for your marketing. Your game is good but is still underrated.

U should relax and give me the nexus secret easter egg key, thanks

Ngudog666

I don't want you to overworked

Face cam if possible or just show us more sneak peaks arc! via livestream.

Stream,i wanna see your face Arc😃

Yup take your time and keep up the great work

Frank Fernandez

Aww, thank you! I really appreciate it. Honestly, I love what I do, and I'm so grateful to everyone for supporting the game, so if people had demanded a huge bells-and-whistles-and-fireworks celebration I'd have been more than happy to do it! :)

Haha, thanks! The "Don't do anything" doesn't mean I'll be resting, though - it just means I'll be putting all my energy into that week's update rather than any celebratory events. I appreciate it, though :)

Haha, I'm still working away at the system, I promise!

It's a good idea, and I'm certainly always looking for ways to bring the game to a wider audience, but in my experience what people want more than anything is regular and reliable updates. Every time I've taken a break - even when I've provided daily photosets and such while I'm away - the supporter base has taken a hit. Maybe I'll hire on some help at some point to do some special events and marketing stuff. That way everyone gets what they want! :)

It seems a lot of people are very thankful for the content you're creating and wish you to take care of your own health as well rather than work yourself to death for us. I wholeheartedly agree with them. It's hard work creating a game like this, so just do whatever you want to do and feel up to. No need to push yourself for our sakes, we've got your back ;)

Mrpink

Take some Rest you deserve it 👍

Chaosdestille

Big ups for the pregnancy system! I want to have babies with my favorite adorable Pixie!

Necromancer

As much as I would like to say nothing to keep dem updates comin', I think a event would maybe help get more people into the game and not like the event stuff will "go bad" after one day. Could mix in a little bit of everything. Do a live stream showing how you make it (video can stay for people for missed it), then link discord to steam for Q&A or just make the discord after live stream, while showing pixies photos, and same with the art contest winners / submissions. But that is more work for you at the end of the day, just a thought. Just would like to see your supporter #s go up and if the price is a weeks update so be it. Better for the long term heath of the game. But then again, I know nothing about marketing or how much, if any, this would help "get the word out."

Wolf

Haha, I'm working on it, I swear!

Haha, thanks! I kinda wish I'd been able to do more, but it is what it is! :)

Definitely Don't do anything cause i wanna see as soon as possible the pregnancy part of the story ;p haha

Stonecutter1099

Is this your way of telling me you want more lewd Pixie events? ;)

Wow. If that's a result of only one year of development it's a great result.

Alexey Skobkin

If there are enough requests for it on Discord, I wouldn't mind turning on screenshare from time to time so people could watch me put together the week's events :)

I want to see people scribble filthy pictures of Pixie. Fanarts!!1!

Stagwood

Honestly it would be cool if you did a weekly live stream occasionally through discord would be neat to watch you work

Magnus

Haha, in one week? That would be over 30 scenes! Unless you just mean in the future, in which case they're all going to get far more than two scenes :)

Aww, thank you! I really appreciate that :) As for the silly Easter Egg, well maybe you should "think about" a particular someone... who, exactly? That's a secret! A handsome, handsome secret ;)

I'm glad you're enjoying the game! Sorry to hear something isn't working, though - what's the issue?

Take some time and try to make at least 2 scenes for all the girls

Take a break and focus on the update. I'm loving everything that you've done with the game so far and I always look forward to your updates!! I'm still having brain farts about the portal keys besides Gramps and the whistle one. I couldn't find the easter egg, lol.

Fred Campbell

I thought about playing the game again and have played it through to the current point in time. unfortunately one thing doesn't work but that's ok. it's just so much fun

Thanks, I really appreciate it! :) And honestly, enough people have asked me for advice about making Ren'py games (which I'm always happy to answer questions about) that a livestream isn't off the table for the future, regardless of how the poll goes.

Aww, thank you! I really appreciate it. It's comments like that which have made this past year an absolute joy :)

As someone who started to learn Renpy recently, I would totally like to see you creating an event. Nevertheless, between that and not dividing your attention with the update... update wins 10/10. And congrats arc, you deserve it.

William Ricardo Strebe

The game is absolutely amazing! Keep up the amazing content but as far as what you should do, do what makes you happy!

Well the "Don't Do Anything" option doesn't mean I'll be resting, but thank you! I appreciate the thought :) No fears about burning out, though - I love what I do!

Well I AM very lazy... ;)

Oh, I love what I do! The "don't do anything" result doesn't mean I get to rest, it just means I focus on the week's update instead. I may have phrased that one badly ;P

I'm for more Pixie adventures or you doing nothing as always. Errrm i mean...have some free time. :P

SirMalo

Well we shall see with the votes if you rest or not, but enjoy the game with each update.

Wolves

Haha, thanks! I honestly wouldn't mind at all doing a special thing for CK's first birthday, but I also won't complain if people all say "nah, just do a normal week!" ;)

Relax a bit man, you deserve it 100%

Ooookay.... six minutes later and there's 93 votes. I may have underestimated how many people like the game! 0_o

Go and take a rest if you need it buddy dnt burn your self out
