Suzerain - Mr. Nowak


Hope you all had a good March behind you, we certainly had a good time! Torpor has been active on many fronts so let’s get to our recap and a glimpse to what awaits us in April.

Let’s kick it off with the big news! We got nominated to the the Best Expert Game category at the German Game Awards 2021. This is a major milestone in the local market where our company is based. We stand next to established titles like Desperados and Port Royale.



The winner will be determined mid-April but with such recognition at the national level, we feel like winners already as a new indie studio! Link to the news in German: https://deutscher-computerspielpreis.de/die-nominierten-fuer-den-deutschen-computerspielpreis-2021-stehen-fest/

Podcasts podcasts and more podcasts! We had a very good chat with Seorsie from the Adventure Games Podcast about the adventure that was Suzerain. We tackled many subjects like the creative process, the artistic vision, and the challenges of development.

Rob Zacyn from VICE Waypoint and Freelance Writer Sin Vega (Previously at RPS) went on the Three Moves Ahead podcast to talk about Suzerain for an entire two hours! It feels great to have created something that is worth talking hours over!

We also took part at the Developer Dialogue podcast to talk with Youtuber Historical Gamer and StrategyWarGamer about the game. Thank you Matt and Jean for the opportunity to shed more light to the development of the game.

Torpor Games also took part in the Hamburg Games Conference under the BMVI (German Ministry of Transportation and Digital Infrastructure) banner and we even won the XSOLLA Secret Nominee Award! The event allowed us to network with other developers and businesses.



We also began a survey to determine the feasibility of merchandising. If you are interested in buying merch related to Suzerain please make sure to contribute with your opinion and votes. This will help us gauge true interest!

Link to survey: https://forms.gle/bSB9q7vu7ogHepiTA

The first Art Contest began with the initiative of our moderation team. If you have any artistic skills please contribute to the ministry-of-art channel on our Discord! http://discord.gg/H2F6xxg The details of the contes are as follows. We chose the theme: "Sordland". We would love to see the fans interpretation of Sordlands culture, landscapes, values, history, potential, its new president Rayne and his family, anywhere you mind may take you. Contest will last for another week. Ending on the 12th of April 13:00 CET.

Oh and our wonderful April fools joke with that amazing jam from James Spence is right here!

Let’s move on to what our team has been up to. We can’t precisely share what we are working on because there is still a lot to do but we can tell you a bit about the processes we are doing. As you might have seen, Suzerain’s release is continuously being supported with bug fixes and additions to increase the quality bar even further.

The team is focusing on designing UI/UX and control elements on a Suzerain related project. At the same time we are concepting new things for another project as well so lots happening behind the scenes! We are very early on in the process and it will take many many more months until we can share anything about these initiatives.

Let’s talk about what April holds in store for us! On the 13th of April we will be part of the German Game Awards 2021 followed by the LudoNarraCon festival which will take place between the 23rd and 26th of April. There will be a live Q&A livestream with two developers from Torpor Games so we will collect all questions at the dev-question-and-answer thread on Discord prior to the livestream. However, we will also take a few live questions during the event.



Additionally Ata will be on a interesting panel at LNC 2021! More on this once the festival details will be released soon.

We are looking forward to seeing you partake to any of the mentioned activities! Hope you have a wonderful April yourself. Stay safe and healthy. Vectern Sis Da!

Suzerain - Mr. Nowak


Glad to have you here for the February Broadcast! Let’s recap on the developments and what’s been happening at Torpor Games!

Our 1.1 patch has been released on the 11th and was received very positively by everyone! We broke our 350 concurrent player count from January with 460+ players on the 13th of February. The game also surpassed 1.5k reviews on Steam as of today!



This big patch was a massive effort for our studio and the ideal core improvement post-launch. We have followed up on the big update with smaller improvement patches to consolidate the balancing further and fix the remaining issues.

We are very happy with the current state of the game and will continue to push smaller updates like the upcoming 1.1.4 to polish the experience further. It’s not easy to maintain a game like Suzerain which has so many branches and backend value changes so supporting the game does take considerable effort and time.

If you do have improvement suggestions please send them over at our Discord server. We are particularly keen on improving typos, grammar issues and other smaller writing problems.



Also a big thanks and shoutout to Tung Thanh Cao (Khassian) who completed his internship with us and helped the release and the post-release period significantly. It’s been a wild 5 months of game development together. Good luck on the path.

Some good news! The German federal government has accepted our grant application and we are looking forward to what we can achieve with this. There will be a future announcement regarding the developments related to this grant.

Additionally, we have seen the requests to localize Suzerain into other languages. Due to the massive wordcount (450k+) of the game and our current financial situation we can’t afford localisations as of now. We are very sorry and will let you all know if this situation changes.



Ata from Torpor has also attended two podcasts which will soon release their episodes. The first one is Developer Dialogue and the second one is the Adventure Games Podcast. Tune in to these once they are out!

Thank you all for your continued support and the awesome reviews everywhere! If you want to support us further please drop a positive review on Steam if you haven’t and advocate for the game and its message. That’s how indies survive after all.

Suzerain is -20% off for the Steam Lunar New Year!

We have just released a major content patch so it’s the perfect time to grab it for yourself to see if you can solve the troubles of Sordland or crumble in the attempt to do so.



As President Rayne, lead Sordland into ruin or repair during your first term in this text-based role-playing game. Navigate a political drama driven by conversations with your cabinet members and other significant figures. Beware or embrace corruption; shirk or uphold ideals. How will you lead?

Patch 1.1

New Features

End Game Summary Screen

Based on the feedback we received, we decided to update the conclusion in a more visual way, outside of the Epilogue. We’ve built a summary screen, featuring three sections that display how your Anton government has done and the results of your choices. It displays data and details about the first term. Images speak louder than words so here you go!



This should give you a better overview of what you did or didn’t achieve. The compass focuses on the in-lore ideologies and shows where other characters are positioned on it. We hope you share your playthrough results with everyone!

Anton Customisation



After playing Suzerain for more hours than you can imagine, the portrait of Anton at the bottom left corner began to stare deep into our soul. So, we’ve decided to give everyone the option to change it up, and have built an Anton customization system. You can change his hairstyle, facial hair, accessories and background image. Share your Anton's on social using the hashtag #MyRayne!

Here are some images to show you potential variation! Special thanks to İpek Ünal, our talented character artist for creating these assets.



[SPOILERS AHEAD]

New Content

The Election

We added a brand new election debate at turn 10 to strengthen the election ending. This scene also introduces Denis Stahler of the Communist Party as a character, who can be a potential rival for the election debate. Denis also gets a brand new portrait!



A new election calculation with more detailed voter groups has been added, Early polling have also been included at the political overview scene to show how your election prospects are. These additions come with some new newspapers and reports as well!



The War

The war plans scene has been expanded with new choices. We’ve also added new win and lose calculations for the war, which are affected by several of these choices in the scene and the ones the player has previously made that could relate to the war.

Several minor additions and changes were added to the war win and lose scenes as well. A dozen or more reports made their way into turn 10 to give a more accurate indication of how the war is going to players.



New music design and new tracks!

Our sound designer / composer James Spence has made changes to improve the music implementation and make the audioscape more dynamic. We’ve also added two brand new tracks to improve the audio experience. These will also be released for free to OST owners along with the hidden suspense track.

Here is a teaser from the new Diplomacy track!

42 new Steam achievements!

Yes you heard it right. Suzerain now will have a total of 86 achievements. The new achievements are public. Whatever you do, don't try to kill Orso please.
