Version 0.18 Released! (Patreon)

Sorry the delay was even longer than expected. I thought I was smart to do spell checking ahead of time to prepare for the release, but I didn’t think to start checking in-game eventing and such until a few days before release, at which point I realized that not only did I have more events than usual (a lot of smaller events this time around), but they also had a lot more eventing with characters moving around and emoting than usual, so it took a lot more time than expected. And of course, I started to feel a bit under the weather yesterday, just to make things that much more exciting. Since last month had two less days than normal, I’m going to pretend this is only a day late, in which case, good job me!

The final word count is around 19 000, I have about 4 000 more words worth of content already written, but it’s for an explorable alley map for Elmgar that I want to add, so I don’t want to put them in until there’s enough scenes to warrant exploring the area, and none of it is spellchecked or evented, ect. Other things of note, I finally got around to testing out some sex scene sfx, like I said I would a few months ago. Right now, it’s just for Beatrice’s first fingering scene, but let me know how it sounds. I think it’s still a bit too quiet compared to the music, though I’ve upped the volume several times already.

Also, I changed the U.I., as shown in a recent poll. I’m pretty sure right now it’s just bronze, unless I set up the thing that makes it switch at a certain level of femininity, and then forgot I did that. I’ll probably patch that in in a day or two here. I have the patreon exclusive cheat item discussed last month mostly set up, but I haven’t tested it out yet, so that will also be patched in shortly as well.

Also, you will probably notice that there are no longer an “anime” and “rendered” version of the game. Unfortunately, due to health issues, the rendered artist is no longer able to work on the project, and as the anime version currently has a quite a few CG’s and the rendered version doesn’t really have any other than a few nude versions of characters, I figured it didn’t really make sense to offer the rendered version of the game, when it is lacking so much content. I don’t plan to find another artist working with rendered artwork at this time.

There are three reasons I began doing the rendered image pack to begin with. First, the artist approached me through my discussion page on TfGamesSite, so I knew the artist had an active interest in my game and would likely be similarly invested in the artwork being as good as it could be. Second, the prices they offered were extremely affordable, and third, they were really enjoyable to work with, willing to put up with any and all changes I requested as I tweaked the characters to my liking. I suspect finding an artist of similarly high quality would cut into the artwork budget quite a bit, so I believe it’s better to focus on the anime image pack going forward, but as always, I’m happy to hear your thoughts on this change going forward.

Phew, well, I think that’s all I wanted to say for now. I’ll update the walkthrough soon, but for now I need to take a break. Thank you once again for all of your support, I hope you enjoy the new update!
