What To Expect
Softly, Opulent » Devlog
Rewrite: First and foremost, I’m going to be rewriting Softly, Opulent. I have much improved in the time since that first demo dropped, and I’m going to rewrite it to show it. Along with the rewrite, some things in the story will be tweaked:
- Characters: Some characters are going through a rework. I had an idea for their stories that’s changing now. The ROs will be tweaked just a bit too—but don't worry, they’ll keep those basic traits that they have already.
- Magic System: This won’t be a drastic change with what I have in the demo. But there is some mention of Dalia having magic in chapter one. It’s very brief, but I’m taking it away. There is also an option in the intro post to learn magic but that’s not going to be an option anymore. Magic will still exist in the world, but be much more restricted and only a few select characters will use it. That’s because all magic comes with a price, in the words of Rumpelstiltskin and all that.
- Rating: The story is going to be 18+ now. It’s not a really big change, but the reasons for this is simple: there will be sexually explicit content and more in this rewrite, while the plan was only suggestive content before.
- Redesign: The itch.io page will be going through an update, and so will the intro post here on tumbler. I will make an updated intro post with the updated info soon. More importantly, the UI of the story itself is going through a rework too.
- Pronouns: I want the MC to be more grounded in the world. Gender roles will be more prominent. There will be a transgender option now, but pronouns will remain roughly the same. Ignore this rest of this bit on tumblr.
- A. Ignore this bit on tumblr.
I think I’ve covered roughly everything. I know this is a lot to take in and I hope it isn’t a deal breaker for some people. The foundation of the story will remain the same.
As for my last question: would everyone rather me finish the rewrite of what’s available so far in the demo and post the update, or would everyone rather wait for me to release completed chapter two with it instead? There's a poll on my tumblr!

Sounds great, I'm very excited!
Awesome ( ◜‿◝ )
Sounds great. I look forward to the new version and more.
That sounds awesome! Looking forward to seeing what new changes you’ll make! = )
i think you should post rewritten ch1 when you're done. It's bc I'm selfish and wanna see it sooner 😂 I'm the type of person who doesn't care if it takes years between chapter updates, any content is great!
Take your time and welcome back. We're all glad to hear from you again and I hope you're doing well.
In my opinion, I think it would be better to wait until you finish the first chapter. (Excuse my poor English; it's not my native language.)
