Happy holidays, everyone! We're still working, so our posts continue.

One thing we haven't shared with you yet is the core political aspect of the game. The setting is a land in the wake of a war that pitted humans against everyone else, but the game isn't going to be a two-sided conflict.

There are a variety of races in this world, including elves, minotaurs, succubi, and catgirls. Each has their own agendas and factions, and if Sabia wants to have her revenge, she'll need to navigate between all of them.

Of course, while we're bringing you a pretty large chunk of content in the first release, we're not crazy enough to try to include all of that in the very first version! The first major location of the game will be an orc camp, and while they may be a rough group of raiders, that's not all they are.

Though the Warchief may be the leader, he embodies the traditional ways that have failed the orcs. Underneath him are three Captains, younger orcs hungry for power and eager to take the tribe in a different direction. Sabia's capture upsets the balance between them and threatens to set off a conflict between the three.

You'll have the chance to make Sabia align with one of the Captains... or submit to all three, or try to manipulate them against each other. Each option will offer a very different way of playing through Kingdom of Deception, but we hope to make all of them interesting in their own way.

Finally, just a reminder: if you haven't participated in the patron pick yet, now is your chance! There's still time to make a suggestion, and we've gotten a number of nice suggestions for you to vote on. Here are the posts again:
