soM v0.0.6 – Dev News

Release: 01/02/2026

I spend a lot of time developing the game. Now that the fight engine is ready, I can finally concentrate on adding new content using the existing game modules. Let’s see what to expect in the next update—here are all the news!

New questline: The Seven Sisters (Part I.)

The Seven Sisters will be a very long, multi-chapter questline that serves as the backbone story of the game. Completing its chapters will unlock new questlines, and you will need to finish the entire questline to gain access to the political engine and factions (still under development). The questline will automatically start a few days after you defeat the bandits, thus completing the tutorial questline. Just walk around the slums, living your life, until you… well, get shot!

New battlemap: Office Block

Your decisions during this first chapter will matter. I am working on a new battle map that will have 4 (!) alternative setups for allies and enemies. This time, you will need a different strategy than the one you used in the forest to defeat the bandits: the battle will take place in the streets of the office district, where buildings are impassable terrain for units, forcing you to fight in narrow streets where a single unit can block your entire army.

New units: Police and revolutionaries

Speaking of armies and important decisions, I hope you were more clever than I was and chased away the young thug instead of kicking the policemen. The group on the left seems better to be friends with than the one on the right—although that girl with the dynamite looks pretty cool to have in my army.

New Heroes: Fidelia and Isabel

Taking sides with the police or the revolutionaries means new heroes to interact with, but only one of them can become an ally based on your choice. While fighting for opposing sides, both of these women have dark rumors spreading about them, inciting fear and distrust not only among their foes, but among their friends as well.

I hope you find these developments interesting. I will have one more post before the initial release: the 2026 development plan. Originally scheduled for 12/31/2025, but I may publish it earlier if my schedule allows.
