This is the second My Lovely Empress dev log from the teams at Game Changer and Neon Doctrine. We hope that this series of behind-the-scenes peeks at the process of game development gets you excited for when My Lovely Empress launches on Steam, Switch, and Xbox later this year!

When last we met, we looked at the creation of Empress’ setting and your seat of power, the Crimson Empire. Today however, we will go into the character you play the game as: the most powerful man in Ashuwa, Emperor Hong.

Son of the Great Emperor Khan and the Empress Dowager Wang, Hong is hardly the warmonger his father was, nor the cunning ruler that was his mother. He is a lover first and foremost — a devoted husband to his wife, Empress Xiang, and a dutiful son to Wang.



However, love tends to inflict pain equal to the happiness it has previously gifted, a lesson Hong learns when disease first takes his mother, and then his beloved empress.

Now a man with an entire empire at his command but with nothing left in his heart to lose, you must guide Hong through the treacherous grounds of both politics and dark magic, whatever it takes to bring Xiang back from the dead.

But how did we create Hong?

Our despairing protagonist actually went through a few changes over the course of My Lovely Empress’ development! His imperial regalia was Initially inspired by the designs of ancient Chinese emperors as portrayed in stories like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Raswan’s early designs for Hong’s face were sleek and clean, with a slightly villainous glint in his eyes. Check it out!



Quite the looker, isn’t he?

The next design however, looked far more feminine, softening his features while allowing for various possible designs for his hair.



And finally, the last few additions came: a goatee for his face, and fantasy dragon regalia for his clothes to look like armor, inspired by his warlord father.



Now that’s our Emperor Hong!

We hoped you enjoyed this sneak peek into My Lovely Empress’ development and the brains behind your powerful, yet unstable Crimson Empire.

Wishlist it here!

Here's a regular update just before the summer holidays. ːsteamhappyː

In a nutshell, this update is important because following a request from a player and his niece, I've decided to add a checkpoint mechanic to some of the more difficult and/or longer levels.

I've also taken the opportunity to fix 2-3 annoying bugs here and there, add a new level (level 28) and a few improvements.

Blah blah blah...
I'm not so good at introductions so let's get straight to the details:


Yes, a new level.
I'm taking advantage of this update to add the latest level I worked on past weeks: Cave, level 28.



This level will force you to use the red and blue blocks to make your way through, but watch out for the snakes... You've been warned. I won't say any more. Enjoy.


Checkpoints.
This is a feature I've been wanting to implement for a long time.

And then suddenly a steam player asked me to add this feature for his niece. If you read me, a big thank you!

So... I thought it was time to tackle it. After a few weeks coding it and testing it, here it is!



The idea is that the colour of the flag is the one of the player who reaches it first.

it doesn't change the story or the objectives of the level. It is just a little extra challenge for players who want to compete with each other in co-op mode.

Just bear in mind that this feature is brand new and that I haven't yet had a chance to try it out with up to 3 or 4 players.

So it's possible that you'll still come across bugs. Please, don't hesitate to share them with me so that I can fix them.

Your help is really precious, and I'd like to thank you a thousand times over.

• Enhanced pterodactyl boss’s animation when players defeat him;
  
• If the food falls into the water, it falls more slowly and can no longer be collected;
  
• Cleaned a lot of old code no longer needed (approx. 152 event lines that were here for legacy);

• If a player dies and the level is restarted, sometimes the black overlay did not disappear;
  
• As reported by this Steam review, the ant npc dialog sometimes was not showing up on the overworld map;

I'm going back on what's next. Cave level 29, cave boss, a dino merchant (you can already spot some sprites of him/her/they, don't know yet, on the overworld map) and much more.

Thanks for reading so far.

Talk to you later,
Antoine G.
