Main Characters

The Princess of Dealtry(default: Marissa Dealtry)
Image

You've spent your life within the capital as a dutiful and beloved princess. But the threat of war is creeping in on Dealtry's peaceful borders, and if the neighboring country of Bayan can't fight off the invading Batrozian army, then everything you've known might be lost. With this in mind, your parents have arranged for you to marry the Khan to finalize a treaty of resources for protection, and now your new home awaits.


General Logan of Dhie
Image

She doesn't look the friendliest, but as one of Bayan's Seven Generals Logan wastes no time or effort in seeing to your comfort. Something always seems to be troubling her, and she's endlessly apologetic about the Khan's behavior, but perhaps you can break past the space she forces between you and find out why her gaze lingers when you're not looking.


Sophia Loiel
Image

Your loyal retainer and childhood friend, Sophia has left behind everything to travel with you to Bayan. She's always been quick with a joke and quicker with a lance, but her unwavering presence at your side is one of the only reasons you haven't submitted to panic. Still, there's been a shadow in her eyes the past few days, and you've seen the pile of letters in her satchel that have yet to be opened.


Princess Aine Cyrus of Avesta, child to Empress Aine Cailbhin Drau
Image

What a mouthful! Lucky for you, Aine laughs away both title and formalities and takes to being your friend quicker than a duck to water. Despite her elven heritage, she treats everyone as equals(though she isn't beyond a prank or two), and is more than glad to help you navigate the complexities of Bayan's culture. But there's something deeper than the carefree persona she exudes, and you've heard the echoes of a mourning song ringing from high on the castle balconies.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Of all the things for fate to throw at you now, with your wedding bells ringing in the distance...

Just a couple of questions for those who'd like to answer:
1) How do you like the premise of the game? Does this description catch your interest?
2) Which LI interests you the most?

The premise definitely catches my interest! I find diplomatic marriages between royalty fascinating - partially because of how many hours I've spent playing Crusader Kings 2, probably. Logan has a sweet haircut and I tend to like ladies with swords, so I'm most interested in her so far. I'm also a fan of MelowBee's art! Good luck with the project and I look forward to hearing more about it.

Oh, this looks great. I love the concept of diplomatic marriages (admittedly because I spent my youth reading arguably awful romance novels about it) and the characters seem awesome. So far I'm most interested in Logan because I have a deep craving for butch female love interests in these games and she's so handsome. Consequently Sophia is in second place and the dear princess is gonna have to win my heart in-game first.

Thank you for the replies! I'm a huge sucker for arranged/diplomatic marriages as well, hence the premise.

As of the moment, we do not have a development Tumblr. There are a few production goals we want to reach first before creating it.

Hello!

This game is now fully funded and will not have to rely on a kickstarter for release. To celebrate, we've opened a development tumblr at princessdealtry.tumblr.com.

I'll be posting weekly updates and other details there. :D
