The Larger Universe
So here at last is the announcement we had hoped to provide earlier: the expansion of the Long Live The Queen universe!
(Yes, I know some people are tired of franchises being called 'universes' but a) we couldn't call the group page just 'Long Live The Queen' because it would create a Steam naming conflict with the game, and b) since we're moving into the future in the stars, it truly is expanding the game universe.)
The initial Steam page with in-development screenshots for the next game in this universe:

For detailed information and further updates, please clickthrough and wishlist/follow that title!
However I will cover a few basic questions about it here:
[h3]Is this definitely the same universe/setting?[/h3]
Yes. Even though we're starting off in a different place and time, anyone who's played the first game will quickly see connections to the original setting, though it will take some exploration to find out more.
[h3]Is this a direct sequel? Does my playthrough carry over?[/h3]
No. This game is far removed in space and time from the original story. Elodie is a distant historical figure only.
[h3]Will I still die a lot?[/h3]
Probably! There are dozens of different characters who are capable of plotting your demise if you upset them and those assassinations can occur at any point, on top of all the story-related ways you can meet your doom.
[h3]Is there real-time 3d space combat?[/h3]
It's not that kind of game. It's still very much LLTQ, but with a bigger map to move around on and more characters to negotiate with. You will still be picking classes, changing outfits, and managing moods.
[h3]What features are new?[/h3]
Too much to cover but to mention a few things - skillcheck bubbles now give an indication of roughly how difficult any test was so that you have an idea of how much you'd need to train to pass it, you can hire advisors to provide certain skills for you if you don't have time to learn them, menu choices have a 'random' option if you can't make up your mind or just want to do a silly see-what-happens playthrough... Beyond that you should really go check out the new game page and ask in the discussions over there!
[h3]When will the game be out?[/h3]
Sorry, I don't have a launch date yet. It is still in development. I am hoping for a kickstarter soon and the beta-test period to begin soon after that and then we'll see. It's not quite playable end-to-end at this point but there's many hours of playable content already.
