0.1.0: The original game

In this version, we have the original game concept, prior to the implementation of SINS. In this version, we used dice mechanics and maps instead of using narration to dictate game play. This version was discarded during testing because we wanted a more unique product.

0.2.0: The implementation of SINS, the adjustment of existing scenarios, and the addition of the arc, Of Service to the Lady.

In this version, we created, tested, and refined a new system for playing the game. We reworked our base scenarios, as well as added a few more. The Peroney Ice Cavern was joined by the Peroney Ice Temple to create the Dragon’s Mountain Scenario Arc. The Or’tel Warehouse was joined by the Or’tel Gardens to create the Or’tel Syndicate Scenario Arc. Also, in this update, Of Service to the Lady, consisting of four scenarios, entered the game.

0.2.1: Addition of the Forgotten Secrets of Sunshire

The Forgotten Secrets of Sunshire, consisting of five new scenarios and narration, brings forth a new challenge to all of the players. Starting with a Tier 3 scenario, the Mayor’s Mansion, the Forgotten Secrets of Sunshrie delves into the creation of one of Dun-I’s most legendary and infamous cities.

0.2.2: Addition of the Front Lines

The invasion of Dun-I from the realm of Loccaris takes center stage in this update. New Players will be able to venture to the front to battle the ferocious demons and otherworldly creatures in four new scenarios.

0.2.3: Addition of the Hunter’s Guild and the Or’tel Warehouse Remastering

The Hunter’s Guild, consisting of several scenarios, enters By Gods and Kings to challenge all players of skill level. Multiple scenarios exist at Tier’s 1 through 4, all providing different and unique challenges for the players. Also, in this update, the Or’tel Warehouse was remastered to create more of an interactive scenario for the players in place of the original gauntlet that was there.

0.2.4: Remake and Remaster of Sunshire Library and the Addition of the Training Grounds

Sunshire Library was remastered to become a Tier 5 scenario from the original Tier 2 that it was originally set to. Now, Sunshire Library is a part of a new arc, the Society of Archaeologists, which will further delve into the secrets and mysteries of Dun-I. Also, the Training Grounds Scenario was created to give new players a tutorial of how SINS and By Gods and Kings works, making it easier for them to pick up and go.

0.3: Addition of the Scenario: Insurrection in Curellis

Insurrection of Curellis takes place prior to the events of the main story and is in the perspective of Ixil. In this scenario, the players will not use their characters, but instead take four existing characters and play through the events of a story. The players will still be able to make decisions and will still interact with the setting, however, no experience points or items are provided.

0.4 Addition of the Scenario: The Murder of Trevelius Rummairs

The Murder of Trevelius Rummairs takes places prior to the events of the main story and is in the perspective of Zirok. In this scenario, the players will not use their characters, but instead take two existing characters and play through the events of a story. The Murder of Trevelius Rummairs is the first scenario put out meant for two characters instead of the usual four or six. The players will still interact with the setting just as in other scenarios, but no experience or other rewards are gained.

0.4.1 Updates to Weapon and Armor Stats, as well as an update to The Or’tel Gardens and the Peroney Ice Temple.

Small update to adjust the physical and magical bonuses on the two-handed weapons and the hybrid armor set. Or’tel Gardens scenario updated to include text that leads to the third installment of the Or’tel Syndicate scenario arc. The Peroney Ice Temple updated to include text that leads to the third installment of the Dragon’s Mountain scenario Arc.

0.4.5 Addition of an Alternative Play Style

Created the Alternative Play Style which can be used instead of the standard SINS (Scribbcrib Interactive Novel System). In this, players can opt to use dice mechanics instead of card mechanics to play the game. A detailed list of changes can be found on the page: http://www.scribbcrib.com/bygodsandkings/alternative-play-style/

0.5.0 The Creation of a Single Player Scenario, as well as the launching of the Single Player Scenario: The Invasion of Tellerefell

Launched the single player scenario, The Invasion of Tellerefell, where the player will be playing as Drusilla Whisperleaf. Created the foundation for Single Player Scenarios within the framework of SINS and By Gods and Kings, shifting the approach from a collaborative experience amongst a group to an individual one.
