Strive Progress update (Patreon)

Hello everyone! I'm here to provide some information on what's been going on behind the curtain. The latest update has been adding some new content, part of which wasn't fully implemented, but wasn't completely disabled either, so you might've experienced some weird occurrences. Sadly, some irregular bugs have been appearing for us, such as repeatable and skipped events, which aren't very easy to track down, but we are doing our best.

In next update we are going to polish new class system further: multiple classes will receive situational stat bonuses to them (i.e. extra fire damage), making them more distinct for the elemental skills they've lost. Some elemental skills will also be rebalanced. My current idea behind it is to give an option to get almost any element for any character, with some classes having more exclusive skills.

We've started working on the next story arc implementations (transitioning from text to code) which will be focused around elven forests and beastkin tribe. Not to spoil much, it will be less politically and more religiously and spiritually driven than the first arc. It will have a couple or more new recruitable characters and scenes. Besides that, we'll be rounding up Aire-Anna's new sidequests (will have a couple new scenes in them). We actually have some more completed scenes/illustrations and characters, but aren't exactly in the spot to release them story wise. Maybe we'll find some other workaround for it.

 So far our plans for current and future content are:

• Marriage sidequest (exists in the game but being further polished)
• A couple new Daisy post sidequest options and scenes (implemented)
• Aire-Anna scenes and Aire's sidequest
• New lengthy Story arc 
• New recruitable character from the story arc 
• New sidequest recruitable character 

My main concern currently is travelling time for the elven forest locations as we aren't quite ready to redo the travelling system. More likely we'll be cutting down on waiting time in arc 1 quests so you won't have to wait around for next event too long. 

Overall, I feel that we gonna need some time to finish on the new arc as it is planning to be quite lengthy. With this I want to repeat that I appreciate your patience and support. I don't really want to release the next arc only half way in, which means it's likely going to take considerably more time. Thank you for your attention and see you next month.
