Fortnightly Progress - 6th February (Patreon)

•  No Haven

Right approaching being done!  Bit behind schedule, but I don't think a week is too bad as it should be done by sometime over the weekend. Usual caveats about unseen potential disasters of course. 

Normally post a preview of the patch notes in the proceeding fortnightly but due to feedback from a non-patron I'm going to try something different. Instead I'm going to use the public teaser text on the update posts themselves to provide a link to the twitter where I'll also post them as a twitlonger along with including them with the update as usual so both patrons and non-patrons  can see what's in them when they're done. 

Highlights of this one are talking to slavers improvements which has a required an absolute fuckton (technical term) of text as each role has needed ten sections each to inform what you know already about them, and then another ten sections each with you finding out. There's also Spritual Leader which needed even more to account for those with specific beliefs, those with any beliefs, and those without. Quite a few of them with various asides and observations. There's also going to be new Hypnotic functionality as part of this. 

Other than that there's Ponygirl Training which will work effectively as its own thing and also Advanced Endurance Training. 

There's also two new assignments where the Arrogance storyline branches off in a new direction. Then there's a new Marshlands encampment with a new character to get to know who can unlock a new assignment which can teach new traits.

• The No Haven Conversion

All of the 300+ pauses are done and now it's onto connecting up the menu passages which I'd forgotten were a thing when I did the last one of these. This is going to be even longer looks like though somewhat less repetititive. While I'm doing these there's also the loop passages to sort out. 

After this it might at last be time to stick everything in twine which is kinda scary. So that's a thing, and how that goes should answer a lot of questions in regard to when you actually get to give this conversion a go. 

Work continues on the Wednesday streams which are reducing as of this month to two hours each.

• Commissions

September+October - Encampment: Even more progress! Seen solid lines on the Neko and Succubus parts. Artist has said that they're aiming for end of February for this to be done.  

November+December - To Hunt a Paladin: Entirely on schedule as I've seen the first two sketches of the first half. Dig what the artist is doing with it as the pally looks really dynamic even at this stage. 

January - Raid Human Village: The one that won was the Marlsune gonnna bounce. Already sorted this one which is lovely. Artist really digs the concept and refferences which is usually promising. They reckon late February/Early March.

Bonus Commission: New race one has gone quiet over the last two weeks so hopefully will see something on this one soon. 

Managed by Me Patron Funded Commissions: Both of these got done and I'm really happy with how they came out. Possibly going to have some more of these in the upcomming months. 

Off chance I get the update out tomorrow then the Janurary+February poll will be up Saturday. Far more likely it'll be the other way round. 

• The Discord

Had a really generous offer this month on there for patrons on the discord where they're giving away their February assignment tier reward to whoever comes up with the best pitch to them. 

This was done last year, and now they're offering it again over this month. You can find more details in the Game Suggestions channel.

Last one of these from last year by the way would have been included this update, but it felt a bit off doing two assignments in one update using the QAYL commission (even if only as a placeholder for now as while I do like that comm there's such a thing as too much of a good thing) so you'll see what that one was in the next update after this one.

As always I hope that was worth the read, and thanks again for your support!
