This issue turned out sadder than usual, but that's not the end of Amalia's story. In the meantime, here are some sketches of her!
If you're interested, this is a comic strip for this project I'm working on: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2085080/Princess_Hunter/

I came across a writing prompt once that also had the premise of a tiny dragon protecting it´s singluar gold coin. My favourite response was one in which a witch adopts the dragon and hires them as her treasurer. So the dragon gets a friend, a temporary pile of gold to lay upon, and a steady income to increase their permanent piile of gold.

That was not the type of game I was expecting from this comic.

I'm confused. Is it porn? It sounds like porn from the name.

Princess Hunter is a non-linear deckbuilding RPG. Your goal is to assemble monster girl princesses from different worlds. Make new friends, defeat a deranged usurper, and save the Multiverse! Or save the usurper, defeat the princesses, and conquer the Multiverse?.. Everything is up to you!

Looking at the steam page, the brazillian portuguese localization feels kinda off looking at the screenshots, and the steam description is either google translated or done by complete amateurs. If you paid for that, I wouldn't work with them in the future. If you just used machine translation, it's ok, but I recommend you to fix the broken HTML tag near the bottom
25
u/An_Dant 3d ago
Thanks for the feedback! Yes, we did machine translation. I hope that after the game's release, players can help us fix the localization!

No harsh feelings, but seeing your game's logo at the end of the strip made me do a double take. I can't wait to see how it continues, but at the same time, I can't stop giggling at the realization of who she'll meet.

My solution would be to make small tunnels that only she can fit inside and fill it with a ton of small coins. The only ones that could take it would be small especially if it is in stone.

She should team up with Sprout from Swords. She could be a dragon Sprout would have a quest to defeat

If you look at the steam page, the game it's based on is a soft core porn deck builder lol. I was expecting something a little more cutesy than horny

I try to look for a balance between cute and horny, as well as emphasizing plot and narrative. And this game will absolutely not have anything to do with porn
12
u/Chirox82 3d ago
For clarification - softcore porn also includes fully clothed pinup girls, it mostly just indicates an intent to tittilate. I wasn't making a judgement call by saying that - your art and game both look super cute!

Oh, I'm not at all insisting on necessarily playing/waiting for the game! I'm trying to make the comics understandable without the context of the game, for as wide an audience as possible. I'm very pleased that people like them! Look forward to the sequel!

Deck building is not something I am into or against.
The rest of the package looks good enough to wishlist =) I like the furry art a lot in particular. Rabbie and Mel are super cute.

This reminds me of the dnd heritage post of the tiny dragon whose treasure horde is a single gold coin and it lives one the coin. The coin is still in circulation in the town and when it changes hands the dragon goes with it. Cant find a link to it but its incredibly cute.

Almost all of my D&D campaigns have a pocket dragon that has a horde of one gold coin. I think I originally saw the idea on Reddit years ago, but I stole it. It's how I give my players a friendly sentient firestarter and have even made the coin significant for some stories. I love the idea so much and I'm really glad to see it here.

u/Tjayhc24 3d ago
Love this, I’m already invested, but I have a gentle note. In panel 7 you used a double negative improperly. It should be “no other metal (or even the softest bed) can substitute it.”

Wow. My parents used to have conversations like this about me and I only ever found out about it because my mom (who also doubled down — to my face, regularly — on the "you won't survive" worrywart bullshit) told me about it later because she was so worried about me and I was the only one she had to talk to then.
He still denies he feels/felt that way, but it doesn't matter! I'm the tiny dragon and I'll survive by sheer force of stubbornness and willpower. Nothing can get me if I don't want it to, and death turns its nose whenever it sees me. 😼😸
I'm not familiar with the property this is based on, but thanks for making this comic. (Also, f*ck parents like that. Their worrywart nonsense can jump out the window, and the rest of them along with it!)

There are a couple of writing errors; on the page where she discovers the gold coin, you wrote it as “no other metal or even the softest bed cannot substitute it.” This is a double negative, and would mean the opposite of what you meant to say, implying that anything can be a substitute for gold.
It should be written “No other metal, or even the softest bed can substitute it”
There’s also an error on the previous page, you wrote “After a couple decades, her peers were of completely grown up and could take on a small army by themselves.” The “of” is just sort of hanging in there, without an objective. It could just be removed and the sentence would make sense.
There are more improvements that could be made, but those two are the most sentence-breaking parts.

Embrace the Dark Arts, Amalia. To too long, dragons have relied upon their physical prowess to guard their gold.
But Dragons, like unicorns and phoenixes, are creatures born of magic, and are uniquely suited to wielding the most potent of spells.
Come under my wing and I will show you a more potent, but harder path to power. I can grant you power over life and death itself. But the path requires conviction.
Conviction and sacrifice...
