Queen’s Wish 2: The Tormentor December 2021 Update

This year’s final development update for Spiderweb Software’s Queen’s Wish 2: The Tormentor lets us know that the game is still on track for a Fall 2022 release, mentions some backer-related stuff, talks about a recent update for Queen’s Wish: The Conqueror, and shares a fresh screenshot.

Here are the text bits:

Welcome to our new Queen’s Wish 2: The Tormentor update! We’ve been working furiously on the game, and we have a bunch of news.

The game is being written. The engine is basically done, and we’re about 30% of the way through the longest part of the job, writing the world. Queen’s Wish 2 has a really intricate plot with lots of characters, factions, and tough choices to make. This means a lot of time-consuming dialogue writing, with many breaks to make sure everything is connected together and makes sense.

We are also gradually accumulating artwork and talking to contributors about what will be added to the game. Soon, I’ll be taking a few days off from writing to play a bunch of the game and makes sure it feels right. The first internal testing will happen after that.

All in all, things are going well. The dungeons are fun, the setting is cool, and I’m pretty happy with the writing. (Or, as happy as I’m capable of being.) Barring disaster, we are still looking good for a release in the area of Fall, 2022.

Queen’s Wish 2 Make-a-Dungeon!

In our last update, we asked for suggestions for our improv-comedy-style bonus dungeon. We’ve gotten a ton of responses, and we’re about to start picking through them. You still have a few weeks to send in ideas!

Major Alert For High Tier Backers!

If you backed us at a level where you get to contribute content to the game, we are very grateful. However, time is passing quickly. If you want your ideas to get a good, interesting placement in the game, we need to hear from you soon. We already sent a message to all backers, and we’ll send them a reminder soon.

Queen’s Wish: The Conqueror Updated More

We released an update of Queen’s Wish: The Conqueror with a bunch of the cool new graphics from Queen’s Wish 2. We then had to make a v1.1.1 update to fix a few bugs. If you want to try the new Queen’s Wish, download it where you purchased the game.

So don’t worry. Things are going well. Enjoy your holidays, and you’ll be hearing more from us soon!

PS Here is a quick screenshot, showing some of the massive piles of dialogue we’ve been writing. Queen’s Wish 2 will give plenty of chances to reward the loyal and punish the incompetent.
