"I would rather see a Turkish turban in the midst of the City than the Latin mitre."
What's new?
It's been a while since our last development blog and we've made a lot of progress as The Fall of the Cross development team since then. New musics, new artworks, new dialogues, bug fixes, new menu designs and a lot more! With the help of a coding expert who has greatly benefited our team, we have both better understanded the mechanics of the Ren'Py game engine and introduced a lot of new things that will facilitate user access to our game.
"Bring me his head Theophilos!"
Theophilos Palaiologos was a 15th-century Greek and a cousin of Emperor Constantine XI. He was known for his strong nature, intelligence and distrust of anyone completely. Unfortunately, his devotion to his family often resulted in the Palaiologans using him. The loss of many of his family gave him the instinct to protect his emperor at the cost of his life. Whether or not to use this loyalty is in the hands of the players as always.
GUI and Interface
In our new devlog, we would like to inform you that we have greatly improved our GUI and interface to offer you an eye-catching demo gameplay. Who wouldn't want to see our great lord Jesus Christ all the time? Yeah, we thought so too and set our cursor as a crucified Jesus figure. There is something better, when you hover it at the choices, his body bleeds to remember the pain he has suffered for us.
And at the same time, you can examine the results of your choice with the new notify features we have introduced.
We're focused on enchanting you with our easy-on-the-eyes and medieval-themed color choices. With upcoming updates, our studio will continue to equip The Fall of the Cross with new content.
"I would rather see a Turkish turban in the midst of the City than the Latin mitre."
One of our iconic characters is Loukas Notaras, a very wealthy, connected and popular figure who was the Megaduke of Eastern Rome in 1450. The famous 'I would rather see a Turkish turban in the midst of the City than the Latin mitre.' was his quote. Serving loyally to the Palaiologos dynasty, Notaras was known as the richest man in the Balkans before Constantinople was besieged. He placed the famous spy Mikael Misriin under the emperor's command to serve on behalf of Byzantium. He was known for his hatred and distrust of Catholics. This was probably due to the sacking of Constantinople by the crusaders in the fourth crusade. Although many thought he was a traitor, when the city was besieged, Loukas chose to help the emperor with everything he had instead of fleeing.
Thanks for reading the November Devlog. Enjoy!
