Good afternoon,

a new month has just started and I'm already in the middle of working on Tia's content. Time to give you a short recap over the past days and and outline for what I've planned this month.

The past days I've one the one hand completed the bonus scene for Arianna + fixed some bugs. After that I started to work on some texture improvement for Katherin and Tia and began working on a new map.

With Arianna's scene now done I'm moving forward to finally do Tia's update. The focus for this will be on the conflict between Tia and her father. But also how her mother Katherin reacts to the plans her daughter has. The MC is put in between and has to decide which side to support.
This also means that this update won't be centered around Rumah as some of you might have expected.
I plan to expand the territory to the north and add a mountain area where the tribe of Tia's father lives. I want to fully implement this quest, which means it will likely take longer than just this month to do so. But as always I won't leave you without an update this month, so as soon as I have something playable ready you will get access.

There is also the bonus scene for Emily/Frisha/Mira. Currently I plan on implementing it after the first part of Tia's update. But I have to see how timeconsuming all of this is...It's not that easy to plan this far ahead at the beginning of the month so I will keep you updated over the coming weeks.

I will continue a bit further and work on some more images, after that it's time to get some rest over the weekend. Next week I'll then finish the new map/implement it and start working on some new animations. Depending on how quick I'm done with that I will also start with some writing.

For now, thank you all for joining in this month!
I wish you a nice weekend!

Good afternoon,

finally weekend or at least almost! Time to get the past week summed up.

The release Monday night was a big relief for me. I've been working the whole month very strictly to get the quest for Lyvia completed and it's always a good feeling when all graphics and pictures that were prepared earlier click together and you can actually see everything working. Well...almost working, there have been some bugs that thanks to your help have been sorted out by now. Just yesterday I released another hotfix in case you didn't notice already.
Tuesday was then all about fixing and updating the walkthrough.

On Wednesday I finally had time to start working on Arianna's bonus scene. I began with working on new textures for Arianna. and continued with new sprites and dialogue images. Yesterday I then started working on new animations for the scene.
In the end I made 7 + transititions. These of course now also have to be edited and then put into the game which is what I'm currently working on.
I hope I get them all completed by the evening so that I can then do the dialogue writing on Monday.
The release of the bonus scene is also planned on Monday...It will probably get late again but I hope I manage to complete it then. If for some reason it takes longer I will let you know in a comment here and on Discord.

Because it took much longer than originally planned to get 0.5.2.0 done, the work on Tia's update has now been delayed. At the beginning of this month I had hoped that this last week of the month would already be focussed on Tia. But in the end It was more important to me to get the quest around the Raven to a conclusion so that Lyvia doesn't have to be on the poll again for said quest while also adding in something new in terms of gameplay mechanics. The work on the mercenary system took definitly longer than I anticipated which is the main reason the update took so long to make.

Anyway, when the bonus scene is done I will directly begin with Tia's content. More about that on the coming Friday when hopefully the first maps are already done.

For now I wish you all a nice weekend!

Hello everyone,

this week was a lot better than the last.
I finished the 0.5.1.9 update on monday, Tuesday was then all about fixing and updating the walkthrough.

Wednesday I've then continued to work on the story. The focus is now on a forest exploration which you can on the one hand send your mercs to or/and participate yourself in. This is something I'm still working on. I also made a small update to the merc overview to make it easier to see where which troops are located.

The goal for the coming week is now to implement both of the new maps I've been working on and to write the final part for the quest. I will also add 1-2 animations to this final part of the update which also need to be made first.
So not sure if all of that is possible until next Friday...I don't want to raise false hopes so the best solution for now is to leave it open and inform you then on my progress.

When 0.5.2.0 is then finally done I want to add the postponed scene for Arianna finding Rumah. This isn't that much of a complex scene so I hope I can finish it in under a week.

And then we get to Tia's final update where I want to conclude her storyline. Some might be happy, others sad about it. But I think it's time to complete this finally.
This of course doesn't mean Tia won't get anymore content afterwards (I plan to make a pregnancy update for her) but I think she already got more attention than any other woman in the game. So to give her some pause after this is appropriate as I see it.

I will also start a new content poll this month. Probably right after the 0.5.2.0 update is done. As I've said before in a comment and also on discord I want to have from now on one option on the content poll that continues the main story. Because of that Sophie will be available there as an option to vote for.

That's all news for now. I'll continue to work for a few more hours.

Thank you all for joining this month!
I hope you'll have a relaxing weekend!

Good day everyone,

over the past week I've continued the work on Lyvia's update.
After finishing the animations for the party at the camp and implementing it I looked into the interaction with Lyvia at her tent (since after the party Lyvia will take you there) and thought about how to expand it. This lead to reworking the reverse ride animation (I've thought about leaving it as it was, but it looked odd when you switched positions) and the addition of 3 new animations for the tent.

After that was done I continued with the mercenary mechaninc and completed the part which will let you upgrade your mercs to tier 3. After that I've been working on the part where the MC gets to train with Lyvia to learn how to wield a sword.

While this took already a big portion of the week I also worked on 2 new maps for the story and added dialogue for the upcoming conflict with the Raven. I'm not going to spoil the story here of course, just want to tell you that my work on it continued.

This of course brings me now to the estimated release date of 0.5.2.0. First question is probably: Is it possible to get it done until next Friday? To which I must answer: probably not. A week sounds like a lot of time, but I've learned my lesson how quickly it passes by. And with everything that is left to be added it's not possible to complete it by then. But since I want to give you another release this month I will release an update on the coming Friday with everything that is finished by then (0.5.1.9).
The final part in which the full quest can then be completed will be released early next month as soon as it's done.

That said, I'm now back to working.
I wish you all a nice weekend!
