Sword of Wonder .29 Update Free [Adult][Arthurian Fantasy][Male Protagonist]

[Jill Gates]

Sword of Wonder (current version 0.29) is a King Arthur inspired fantasy game set in an alternate Earth. The game play is centered around a series of mini-games and choices, with achievements, random events, non-linear game play and more. The current supporter release has about 2100 images and 15 animations in the latest update alone. The .29 is now free to download, originally released on December 29th for supporters.

What's the plot?
You, the main character, shipwrecked and arrived in the new land of Tropia. On your way through the woods, you stumble across a sword in a stone. A goddess appears to you and suggests that you grab the sword and embrace your destiny. From there, you meet helpful people, fight a bandit and end up meeting the royal family. Only, from the goddess's words, you could become King, if you chose, of Tropia. The goddess doesn't share the fine print that to rule, you may have to overthrow the existing royal family.

Will you choose love or power?

The story and the experience

• Each woman has their own associated events and milestones in game. To pursue relationships with each, manage your time, visit the kitchen and of course, go exploring the world of Tropia.
• Saves from the previous versions have been tested and work, let me know if you experience otherwise & I'll investigate.
• In game, given the various paths you can follow, you may see, "Pending," or "version .29," a few times. That's an indicator that the current scene path or character path you're on with that particular woman only leads to repetitious content at this point. A few times, to make the experience less of a grind, you don't have the option of repeating a scene endlessly and the game will simply skip that scene.

The highest tier supporters can get .29; download the latest free update here on Patreon, also, I'm in need of beta testers. You can get the latetest version free if you agree to send me a detailed write up (what's good, bad, could be better, etc). Drop me a note and I'll send you the links.

Happy Friday!

I've updated the lead post as the latest version of Sword of Wonder is the .23 version, which has nearly twice the content of the older, .21 version. In this game, the play is a bit of an open-ended sandbox, with decisions that impact the time of day four times - morning, afternoon, evening and night. Events of course vary by time of day as well as location and character.

There are a set of events that further the overall story and those are non-linear in appearance as you explore the land of Tropia. Please let me know if you have any feedback, good or bad, and have fun exploring the kingdom.

Hello awesome people!

I just updated the first post with the links to the free .25 version (not as bug fixed & polished as the supporter version, but, still far more content than the .23 version which I previously shared here. I'm working on the .26 version now and there are also links to the beta Android version I created this week in the first post. Future Android versions will release alongside the main updates monthly and will be further optimized as the app install size is too large (a gig) at present for a lot of phones, an optimized webp version with slightly lower quality graphics could be 200 megs, which is more appropriate for a mobile app.

Questions, comments and requests appreciated as I aim to continue making Sword of Wonder my best game ever.

A quick note to say a few things after sharing the broken version that was the latest .25 update - my apologies.

Also, while re-playing to confirm everything was working, I discovered the way I'd coded the Spring series where you kill chickens incorrectly. Say you only talked with her every other day, or once during the first week of in-game play...the variable I used to determine which conversation was the day, not the number of times you'd hung out with Spring.

As a result, depending on which paths you took for any version prior to the .26beta above, with Spring, you could have only seen a small fraction of the overall content in her path, instead of seeing all of it (unless you visited her every single day until that path finished, but, I'm not convinced everybody plays this game the same way). Android has the same issue as I fixed with the .26beta above, so you might want to wait until April's official Android release rather than play that version.

Since the last time I posted about Sword of Wonder here, I've shipped the .27 update (October) and the .28 update (final yesterday, December 7th). .27 is available in Android, the .28 will be ported early next week. Of course, the Android version has lower quality graphics to ensure the download size is reasonable (desktop size = 1.3 gigs for .27, Android .27 port with Webp images is 340 megabytes).

Right now I'm busy planning the .29 update which will be available before the end of the month, and as usual, if you have ideas, suggestions etc feel free to drop me a note as there are more than a few scenes which were originally suggestions by fans of the game.

I'm interested in making the highest quality game possible so if you have time to beta test the .28 version (or the next version), please drop me a note and I'll send you the files as well as the top questions I ask other beta testers to answer about the experience.

The jump from .26 to .28 is a massive increase in quality, after I spent September cleaning up the older files, I discovered that a few hundred images & scenes were in the code and the update, but, they weren't reachable due to various bugs - those have all been fixed.

Thanks for reading and I hope you're holidays will be merry and bright, for those of you like me who celebrate, Merry Christmas!

The .27c Sword of Wonder update is now available for free (and .28 is available to $5 monthly supporters and above, the Nice level).

Compared to the .26 update, this is a massive increase in quality along with content (for example in .28 there are only a few small bugs), where .27c had a major refactor to a lot of scenes and other code changes to ensure you can experience all the content.

Release notes copied and pasted here:

• Compared to the .26 update, .27 has over 200 new images and more than 8 new, never been seen animations
  
  
• * fixed issue where on day 3 couldn't visit Polly's room even if she invited
  
  
• * fixed image with Snow on trail to ensure duplicate images aren't shown
  
  
• * multiple language and dialogue issues fixed
  
  
• * return from lake evening alert screen issue fixed
  
  
• * double descriptive text on odd days fixed when leaving castle
  
  
• * inner monologue about bandits fixed based on correct count when visiting Camelot locked
  
  
• * fixed issue with Uma room invitation for second scene
  
  
• * fixed issue from the .27 version where you kept looping around between armory and bedroom
  
  
• * fixed polly riding clothes lunch (scene wouldn't increment so multiple scenes were not available previously)
  
  
• * fixed issue with fight scenes where they disappeared too early
  
  
• * fix variable for Briley lunch as you might hit limit but not have all the bags...
  
  
• - other spelling, grammar & misc fixes

Dropping a note here to mention that the .29 update was available as of yesterday; here are the release notes:

• Training with Pepper scenes (3 animations)
  
  
• Wendy petitions the royals
  
  
• Flashback scene with Polly and Spring
  
  
• Discovery of a prisoner in the dungeon
  
  
• Autumn helps Polly change clothes
  
  
• The Lady Vivien arrives for dinner
  
  
• Briley visits MC and brings a guest (3 animations)

• Polly lends Vivien some lingerie
  
  
• Polly entertains MC (1 new animation)
  
  
• Spring and Summer escort MC to his quarters (7 animations)
  

In addition, there are bug fixes and other updates in this version as well. The new content should be able to be explored once all the major items have been covered from previous updates, eg, collecting the 3 urns, the 3 bags, and defeating the bandits, as well as training with Pepper, to raise your combat score to at least 10.

Feel free to message me if you want to beta test, have questions, comments or feedback & hope everyone is having a fantastic holiday season.

The .29 update is now free to download. Visit this page to get the latest.

Also if you have played previously, the .30 update will include the first adult scene with Rapunzel in game. Currently rendering images & animations for her scene. The public post I created a week ago details the road map for this year given I expect to wrap up the game in March if all goes well, that will be the final update.
