Fortnightly Progress - 5th September (Patreon)

It is now September somehow and I'm really not okay with that. 

I'm planning to do the next Direction Polling next week sometime depending on how the rest of the update goes. 

• No Haven

Got the update out and first hotfix out, or at least part of it. Definitely a couple of issues left with the new accompanying content and Ritual Casting especially. For now I think I can leave it for the finishing off hotfix. 

That is specifically the assignments and the special unique. All the assignments are underway, and I'm currently working on finishing the actual implementation in game for them. 

What I mainly want to talk about this round is the new unique as she is easily going to be the most complex one so far in the game and at this point is mostly done. This wisp prophetess has an truckload of potential effects she can provide with her prophecies. There's also some other dialogues which might have hints for future contents while others will be total nonsense (or will they?), along with maybe providing some insights into some names that might be familiar. She also has commissioned art generously provided by a patron.   

She'll also have some specific encounters based on one of the events which will have content for both dom and sub players. 

• The No Haven Conversion

Had to happen sometime, but a not so positive update for once. While being able to do such big chunks at once was great, don't get me wrong, and way, way better than what I did with WR. It does though mean that any regular expression mistakes which are far, far to easy to do means I've definitely lost at least some content and broke others that will need to be hunted down and fixed which is going to be entertaining. 

Leaving that aside I am making decent headway through the conditions. 37,217 done and only 12,402 of them to go! Yes, really. So very glad I'm not doing this all manually like I did with WR. 

Theoretically once they're done I can actually make a start on importing all of this work into Twine. 

• Commissions

The next commission poll will be up tomorrow if all goes to plan. 

Doing an update on these again like I did last time: 

May+June - Cheerleaders: All done, and kreen is definitely best girl. Assignment will be part of the next update and I'm looking forward to see what you make of the very long intro. 

July - Hidden Temple: Was a bit of a delay due to Windows 10 update being a dick to the artist. Thankfully they're back to making good progress. I really like the setup of the way it's laid out and it's had some base colours to work out the lighting which is looking really neat. 

July+August -  Deep Mountains Slave Caravan, Watchtower, and Fake Herald of Paradise: As expected they did indeed win the poll. 

I've reached out to artists for all of them. Did try someone new for the Deep Mountains Slave Caravan, but they turned me down. I'm trying someone else new for that one now. Watchtower the artist I asked has just got back from holiday so call that one a maybe for now. 

However the Fake Herald of Paradise not just has a artist, but it's all fully confirmed. Might even see some colours by the weekend which is a lovely quick turnaround. Seen the lines of the harpy and it's been good progress nailing the exact build I want to go with for this setting for the lower half as well as the top. 

Bonus Commission - Oozes: Fully confirmed and I'm still in the artist's queue. 

Bonus Commission - Discord Assignment: Fully confirmed and based on the quoted timeline I should be seeing some progress on this before the next one of these. 

Bonus Commission - Halt Human Caravan: First part is done which I just love. Holding it for general posting as the second part is still in progress. Did though post a preview on the discord and I've had some good feedback from it. 

I think this might be far the most commissions I've had going on at once which is at both very cool and also kinda hairy. There's another one I'm not ready to talk about and there's some potential a previous artist is keen to do some extras for me. Though they are super busy so when or if that happens is another matter entirely. 

• Picarto

All of these will be at the usual time of 22:30 BST outside of the odd occasional one where I need to catch up and so start an hour earlier or change the planned day. 

Last Sunday was especially good and resulted in a meme that's ended up being one of the most popular things on the twitter.
