[News] Plans for December + Progress (Patreon)

Hello everyone, Corintio here!

Firstly I'd like to thank everyone who is supporting us through these tough times when we need to spend a lot of resources on the prologue. I believe things are taking really good shape and I'm very proud of the work that the team has been doing as well.

We are aware of performance issues, and we suspect that this is caused by the stress the AI is putting on the CPU —an issue carried over from the Legacy version. But don't worry, improving the AI and making the NPC Schedule Manager is already in our roadmap and once we get there, these issues will be solved.

On top of that, in the character art side, we're finishing modelling Ilreth's hairstyle, and since one of the main side-quests of the prologue will require Kalyskah to wear the Devil's outfit, we are making some improvements on it, as you can see on the images above.

On the animation side, we're working on new biting animations:

Our programmer has successfully transferred the game to Unreal 5. Now, our focus is on fine-tuning to ensure everything functions smoothly. We'll also use the new tools to enhance our map further. During this downtime, the plan for the December release is to incorporate voice acting into the quests we recently implemented. Additionally, we may add one or two more quests with mature content to balance the overall experience, as currently, the Massage scene and Brooke's speech are the only NSFW cutscene interactions.

While we cannot provide a specific release date for the Unreal 5 version, as it depends on the results of our testing, our Royal Blood tier and above supporters can expect that they will have the opportunity to access a playable build as soon as it's available. Their feedback will be invaluable in refining the game before a more stable Unreal 5 release to Vampire-Tier patrons. In the meantime, we will continue to release monthly quests for the Unreal 4 version to our vampire-tier patrons.

Thank you very much for your support and we'll keep you posted about more progress we make!
