Planned Features for Chapter 3! (Patreon)

Hello, hello! Now that chapter 2 is behind us it is time to look towards the next chapter in Catherine’s adventures! I’ll try to briefly summarize all that we have planned for the next chapter, and I’ll try to keep spoilers to an absolute minimum but if you are allergic to them, you have been warned!

Let’s start with the more mechanical side of things. In chapter 2 we introduced the tavern job and hinted at the whore job, but despite the tavern having gotten its introduction it was not fully fleshed out yet. In chapter 3 we will implement the job system which will allow Catherine to work at a few different jobs in order to make the money she needs to repay her debt and to buy items.

Alongside that, we will be introducing a few quality of life improvements, we’re still figuring out what form this will take but we will introduce UI elements to show the consequences of each of your choices, things like gaining/losing affection with other characters, attributes, and traits. Plus, we will also show whenever the game checks for something, like if a certain choice was made in the past, or if you have enough affection with a character. This should make the whole system more transparent as well as make it more clear to the player where you might be missing scenes without having to rely on outside information. You will, of course, be able to hide all of that using the settings menu, so if you want to play blindly you certainly will be able to.

One more quality of life improvement will be the addition of a color-coded text box, each character will have a color assigned for them and whenever they speak the text box will change to that color, which should make it easier to distinguish who is speaking at any given moment. Again, that will be an optional feature that you will be able to disable in the settings menu.

Finally, we will be adding the relations tab to Catherine’s house, there you will be able to check the status of your relationship with all of the characters. Alongside that, a few new characters are going to be added to Catherine’s house, allowing you to set their outfits in the wardrobe and to check their stats.

Now for the story, alongside the work mechanics, we will also be expanding the available jobs for Catherine and continuing their story. Besides being able to continue working in the tavern, and dragging Eleanor to work in there too, Catherine will be able to get started in her whore career. Also, due to Catherine’s outstanding performance when she was in the academy, the Headmaster of the Traxiaria will invite her to give classes and work as a private tutor to a particularly troublesome apprentice.

Alongside these work events, Catherine and Eleanor will get started in a new quest, this one happening in the streets of Batria itself. Strange things have been happening recently, people have been going missing, minor nobles were assassinated, and magical items have been stolen from wealthy merchants. No one knows who is behind these events, nor if they are linked or not, but the Imperial Guard is going nowhere in their investigations. Catherine and Eleanor will enlist the help of Briwala and two new characters as they scour the streets of Batria for clues of these mysterious events that continue to happen.

Which leads us to characters! First and foremost, Catherine’s sprites were the first ones Banshee made back when we started this project, and she received a much-needed rework in chapter 2. Eleanor’s sprites were the second ones she made and now it’s her time to receive a rework. This one is not as desperately needed as Catherine’s was but Banshee still wants to make Eleanor look better. Banshee is also making Eleanor a little more in line with her descriptions, which means muscles guys, muscles up the ass!

Besides the rework, we will be introducing 5 new characters! 

First and foremost, Yda. She was originally supposed to have been introduced in chapter 2, but we really overestimated how much work would have to go into introducing her. So, we are adding her now, maybe she has something to do with all those strange things going on around Batria?

Then we have Labashi, a self-proclaimed desert prince, he is a dashing rogue from the desert kingdom of Ummar with a love of dance and magic that allows him limited control over sand. A thief and a lover of women by nature, Labashi is always on the lookout for a challenging prize to claim.

Next, we have Lenna, hailing from the frigid frozen island of Edhelia at the edge of the world, Lenna is an elf brought up in a world of excess and violence. She has since moved past her dark past and put her considerable skills at the service of the Empire. Still, she is quite unlike any agent that the Empire ever employed.

Also making her debut is Seralli, she is a young tiefling on her second year in the Traxiaria. As many in her race do, Seralli developed a strong connection with magic when she was a teenager. Her father, a border prince in Khadan, sent her and her mother to Batria after she burned half of their house down when she lost control of her magic.

And last but not least, we have Weiss! Usually, it would take longer for a newly formed wizard to prove their mastery of a discipline of magic, yet Catherine is already ready for hers. As proof of her mastery over the school of conjuration, Catherine will summon and a bind a familiar to herself, a fluffy albino owl!

And that is it for now, we have a few other things, like outfits and backgrounds planned as well but we will reveal those as we work on them. If you have questions, want to know more, or just want to chat with us, consider joining our discord server, we post cool stuff there sometimes!

We’d also like to thank all of our patrons for your generous support, we worked hard to make chapter 2 better than chapter 1, and we will do the same for chapter 3! Your support really helps us in making ends meet and allows us to continue to focus on expanding the game and making it better. So really, thank you all so very much, it means the world to us! <3

That is it from us for now, please look forward to chapter 3! And, don’t worry we will keep posting our progress and keeping you guys up to date on everything we are doing! 

See you guys next time, and until then.

Big love, the Necro Bunny team!
