May I please inquire as to when the next update will be happening? The information says the last update was 60 days ago, so I'm curious on if you're taking  a break (Which is totally fine, after all, you're human, not a machine) or if the next update has so much content it's taking a bit longer than usual. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Should be out before the end of the month, and yes, it's big

Appreciate the reply. Thanks for the heads up. I look forward to it, Especially since it's one of the very few slave management games that are actually engaging. The only one close to competing with this and the prequel that I've played recently was brothel king, but sadly, that was abandoned 2 years ago I think. So not knowing other games similar to this kinda makes me lost for slave management purpose. xD

Yeah, slave management is a somewhat niche genre

Tried out Pytfall after hearing it was inspiration for Strive... it's really rough (hard to learn) but shockingly a decent turned based RPG with quite a lot of thought put into it.

Doesn't actually have much playable content though.. also one of the early abandoned games.

Also, may I make a small request? Would you be willing to implement further room development in the future? I know we're able to get a decently large number of rooms as it is, but some people like myself, like keeping our slaves, especially the unique ones, and with how many unique ones are available, it limits the rooms available for offspring or other good slaves. Also, could you implement polygamous marriages? Not being able to marry aire due to the marriage route for the princess or being able to marry daisy and cali simultaneously kinda makes it seem limited. If you're unable to make these changes, It's totally understandable. But I had to ask at least, incase it's a possibility. Thanks for your time. 

You can't marry aire for story reasons at this point. For the room development not entirely sure what you expect from it.

More legit room expansion (with both population limit and how many people we can have in bed) would be really nice. The prequel's small room upgrade made in story sense with it being a city manor with limited space. But in this story we are supposed to be land owners, a much bigger pop limit would give us way more space (pun intended) to collect a waifu of each race and maybe some special ones with good trait.

Speaking of which... the current room upgrade system using higher tier material makes sense form a game design perspective, but not really an in story reason. Why can we only make more rooms with magical materials to increase pop limit when people has been building more living spaces with common wood, stones, or even mud through out history?

Pretty sure you don't want to fully gut the current room upgrade system for something new. But maybe something to consider if there'll be a Strive 3. Maybe allow us to build more rooms with basic materials, but using higher grade material gives bonus similar to the current crafting system. Or maybe having room upgrade (that gives bonus) with higher grade materials.

The room number limit is there foremostly to keep game from going into a crawl from all potential calculations especially on weaker pcs. Otherwise both resource costs and number of rooms can be easily adjusted by modding.

I am aware there are ways to increase the current room limit. Heck, even without considering modding, I can save edit to give me more rooms simply by giving me a higher number on room's upgrade level than what's normally allowed.

That being said, I still think a much higher upgrade limit is better as a vanilla inbuild system even if performance is a concern. Because people with a weaker computer would realize not to upgrade it too many times, or keep a smaller pop once they hit a performance threshold, but it allows people with more powerful hardware to keep more characters.

Will there maube be a Craftsmen Spc? Or would that tecnically fall under service? I ask because for whatever reason, i'm only getting average quality gear, and was wondering if their was a way to increase your chances of making better quality gear.


Edit: I don't know if it was a bug or not so i'm putting this here where I made this suggestion. So, after loading and reloading multiple times and still only getting average crafted gear, I completely turned the game off than restarted it. After that, I started to get a variety of quality gear again, and not just average. I make this note that prior, I had started a game, then made another new start of the game, so that may be tied to it.
