Wear it, free poo poo this is a no-brainer.

Also I have this game on Steam, I should give it a try again sometime. I got a couple weeks past this without ever successfully making a check and ragequit.

Don't wear it - while our Foreign Intelligence has told us the sender might be a good match, we're too young for that and we don't need no man. Plus our mother has only just died - he is clearly trying to curry favour.

As for being more yielding - no, stay wilful for now, and learn more Intrigue with the bonus.

One thing that didn't really come across in Syrg's thread until the end is that all the theoretical suitors in this game don't expect to just move in with a 13 year old; the epilogue in those cases mentions that marriage age is still a while off for her, if I recall.

That said, don't wear it and keep your options open, and stay willful for some of that cool intrigue.

Me neither. Tindeck was chewing up one of the uploads for my LP, so it might be on their end.

At the risk of getting cursed by an unknown force or poisoned, I say wear the necklace as a sign of respect to our allies in Sedna and stay willful. Our nation kingdom needs a strong leader in times of crisis.

Yeah, it appears to be on Tindeck's end. The file works fine locally, and I've tried uploading the track again and it still doesn't work. I'll try another site for the new music until Tindeck starts working properly. Anyone have any recommendations?

Edit: I'm going with Kiwi for the temporary hosting site.

Normally I would ask you to refrain from (sort of) spoilers, but in this case it is fine because you're wrong. Whether a suitor moves in or not depends on who it is. And Elodie is 14, not 13. The age of adulthood is 15 in Nova, so those prospects aren't very far off.

I remember seeing this game on Steam and not being interested because it looked too anime, but because of this thread I decided to give it a try and discovered that I am absolutely terrible at being an anime princess but apparently really good at finding ways to fail skill checks and get killed and/or deposed.

Anyway, don't wear it!

Our reign is tenuous, so we shouldn't make too many mistakes. Don't wear the necklace, and sustain our iron will to better keep the throne in our grasp.

Don't wear it, even if we decide to form an alliance with Sedna(which is part of a different kingdom, the sort of situation that historically snarls succession lines), we shouldn't just accept his first gift. He hasn't even offered us anything but a nice piece of jewelry, and we're a future queen. We can buy our own jewelry.

Stay willful, at least for now. I'm still hoping we can brush up on our Military skills.

Don't wear it! It would be a grave mistake to show favour to one suitor before we have checked out his competition. Lets milk them all for gifts and favours before deciding on the one we can most easily manipulate into doing what we want.

Also, better yield a bit. Elodie needs to learn not to show defiance in public. There are more subtle ways of getting what we want.

I found an interesting post by Hanako on the Steam discussion page for the update. Replacing the Steam emoticons for goon ones:

Shinki posted:

Not trying to sound crazy here, but it sure as hell is convenient that 2 upgrades for the game were released short after a new steam feature was implemented that favors recently upgraded games on the frontpage :smug:
Even if that was the intention, there's nothing wrong with doing that :)

Hanako posted:

Actually we were figuring this update is probably a little too small to make use of the frontpage thing! We haven't submitted it to that atm, saving that for when we have new content to push.

There is a reason this is being done now, but it's because of something else... ~it is a mystery~

New content in the future maybe? :neckbeard:

Pertaining to the Let's Play: Tindeck is working again so the music link is fixed.

This is definitely the kind of game that lends itself to adding more and more content over time. If I recall, the version released on Steam was itself quite expanded from its original release, no?

Elodie has decided that she won't wear the necklace.







We should probably tell Julianna that Dad is keeping the crystal from us.



My father says I can't have the crystal until I'm Queen, so we'll just have to wait.

There may not be time to wait. This world is filled with dangers, and you will need the powers of a Lumen to fight them. You can't begin training until you have bonded with your crystal.

Well, what else am I supposed to do about it?

The crystal is probably held under guard in the Royal Treasury. You are the princess; you should be able to find a way inside.



Otherwise we might have to take drastic action.



This choice doesn't actually preclude Elodie from doing anything. It does affect her mood though. Let's reassure Julianna that we will find a way, so we can get the willful bonus.







This is Elodie's current mood. Without that willful bonus, her strongest emotion would have been depressed.



Our bonuses and penalties haven't changed, but you may notice that there is a new box on the top right. This is part of the update Hanako released. The game has one for every emotion Elodie can feel. The boxes we have seen will be on second post. Willful, afraid, and depressed should already be there.

The update also added text for failed study attempts, added a skip button that was shown in the last update, and fixed a few typos. The skip button can be turned on and off in the options menu, which I should have realized last update.

Hey, it's that time again! What classes should Elodie take? Voting closes tomorrow at 4 PM EST.

Yes, the Steam version of the game added quite a lot to the original release. About a third of the Steam achievements involve doing things you couldn't do in the original version.
