Dev diary - January 2023 progress (Patreon)

Story and "content" progress

The January release includes a bunch of new story scenes, set on days 2, 3, 4 and 5, which should help to explain the whole situation in the game. There's still the intro to finish (we're working on it) before the full explanation is in place, but we'll have to wait for a bit more art for that, first.

The big feature coming up for February is Delia's first ritual scenes! That will mean everyone will have one. Earl tier patrons have been getting to see some art previews of this scene.

Gameplay and technical progress

In the January release we restructured the "rituals" so that you can only use Az'ea until day 5; then you will get a flashback to explain how the maids got to the castle and they will be introduced to the rituals as well.

For February, we're planning to add the ability to set the tax rate each week. We're also going to try to smooth out some of the rough edges in the game from the recent updates.
