A few more steps to go (Patreon)

I'm close to getting the first part of this release done.

On monday I've finished my work on the implementation of sending Ayita/Hiba over to the orcs. This was a bit more time consuming then I first thought since I had to make sure that they don't suddenly return home (Hiba for example shouldn't be able to wake the MC in his hut if she isn't there) + all other events of them returning home and so on.

After that was done I had to think about how to increase the area of Rumah... Which brought me back to the original design concept behind the tribe mechanics in Rumah.
Back then I really wanted to have a bit more depth behind the planning system. But of course I didn't have enough time when I did the first iteration (where you plan for the orc attack) So in the end I put all these ideas aside and instead you could talk to Umin to build all the defenses.
This time I didn't want to make the same cut again. So I've worked on a tribe managemant screen... Which of course took a lot of time to make.. Similar to the mercenary management but further advanced. On Lyvia's next update I want to do something similar for the mercenary management.

The system if far from perfect. But I think for now it will do. I might do some backtracking in the future to enable it for the defense buildings so that you can build them over the new screen instead of talking to Umin.
I'm still working on it at the moment... But of course I know that many of you are mostly interested in some new scenes. So today I've also started to work on the second half of the Tia/Raaisha scene which was still incomplete in the last update.
So right now I'm doing some last renders and then I put all of that into the game and add some dialogue to it.

It's short after 1pm right now. I can't really say how long all of this will take. Hopefully I get it done until tonight, but if not I will continue to work on it tomorrow morning until it's done.

Then I have a really though scedule for next week ahead of me... With everything I've planned I can't say for sure that I will make it until the planned deadline of the 23rd. That doesn't mean that I won't try. But since Christmas fell on a weekend this year I can continue the monday afterwards if necessary.

Enough talk, time to get back to work!
I wish you all a nice weekend!
