Star Knightess Aura 0.26.0-prerelease-3 (Patreon)

ITCH | MEGA | ITCH-DELUXE

Today marks Dez. 16th, the last day at my day time job. :) I'm still officially employed until the end of the month currently on paid vacation, and there is one more presentation I'll be giving in mid-January, but the daily work is over now. Thanks once more for everyone to enable this. :)

Now I'm learning about German insurance rules health care/pensions/etc for self-employed people, very fun. :'')

Anyways, let's shift the topic to a more fun subject: This week's gamedev!

This week, I focused on finishing the Rose Seduced By Richard event line. To this end, we have 4 new corruption scenes, 1 of which is a new lewd scene. Watch as Aura's doubts fester and they eventually turn into certainty as she witnesses Richard doing Rose, as has been teased now for... Um.... 1,5 years...? Hahaha, Bad Guys Meetup 1 has been quite a while ago, so for me this is quite a milestone.

Going along with this, we also finally have Alicia lose her "Luciela Candidate" status, which is now transferred to Rose. With this, a major blocker for Alicia's relationship value has disappeared, finally giving her a high relationship value.

Finally, in the last scene we reconnect to the Rose infiltrating the cheerleaders storyline. A certain other mysterious character also has some hints dropped about them. These storylines will be on ice for the next months, though, as I will need to work on the George side of things starting with the new year + we need to commission the Gyaru Rose character art. 

There is also 1 new mental change, implementing one of the [NOT IMPLEMENTED] memory change mental changes that got added last week. This one is necessary to further progress the storyline so Alicia can further gaslight Aura into suspecting Rose.

On the art side, Emubi finished the John Sex H-CG yesterday and I finished all the integration work today. I will mostly likely push back the masturbation H-CG for the Bunny Suit Loving Magister, and prioritize having the new Rose scene illustrated. And then we will go for the two remaining H-CGs for the masturbation scenes. 

As a small preview, after we have finished those, we will have finally taken care of all the "old" H-scenes that had been waiting for an illustration, giving us some space to do some character illustrations. I will most likely in Februrary then commission the final set of appearance changes for Aura. And then soonishly after that the set for Rose. But more on this in the project plan post in Janurary when I update the commissioning plan.

Returning to the more immediate future, next week I will be working on implementing the Rosemond storyline Absurdity had prepared. For those who are new, you can check it out in the writing posts. The theme of the scenes is homewrecking.

Aaaand that's about it. For all changes
