Absolute masterpiece!
I've been following you since the first Slave Lord game, watching the interesting story of Slave Lords of The Galaxy unfold with each episode, and finally this. The visual is definitely a huge improvement. The background is beautiful and the character is stunning. Even the buttons look fancy. While the story is equally compelling. Keep up the great work and good luck with episode 2!
BTW I've also come up with some more practical reason for our Dark Lord to spare Justice & Elf queen apart from simply "being merciful".
For Justice perhaps our DL decided to keep her virginity so he can study on this holy protection and be used against kingdom in the future?
For Elf queen perhaps our DL could spare Elven kingdom in exchange for monthly tribute, like what he did to the southern village? Don't kill the chicken if it can lay eggs everyday.
All hail Dark Lord and his infinite wisdom! Long may he reign!
