Dev Diary 29.01.24 and new Astolfo Artwork :) (Patreon)

Hey there :)
Christmas Holidays have ended. And version 5.0 with Rudy and Sylvie got quite many new followers 🥰

What's next?

At first, I gonna upload version 5.1. Don't expect too much from it. Just some minor bug fixes, balance tweaks, some quality of life updates.
Look for a new version at the end of the week, Friday or Saturday :)

Ah, and I'm finally releasing an early NSFW version. So basically all the censored artworks become uncensored. Why "early"? Because the amount of such artworks isn't so great, and all the action cards won't be redrawn into NSFW versions this time.
I'm a bit afraid to upload NSFW version on my main patreon, so I gonna upload it on another patreon with a minimal price for now. Instructions will be given with a version 5.1=)

And some great news! 🤩
Now I have experience, people and POWER to make an interesting battle system with actual card mechanics.
Yeah, I know I know. I have changed battle mechanics several time and it's still bad.
BUTT this time it's gonna be better, tell you.

Main features:
- old Stat points (sub, int, fit, att) became Mana of 4 types. You need Mana to play Cards.
- HP and all the old stuff is removed. Now you just need to stack enough Power to beat your opponent.
- player got a lot of different Statistics like Arousal, Obedience, Hangover, Feminity, Chastity Cage Size, Cum Addiction, etc. We call them Statuses.
- all the cards have negative and positive impact on player's Stats. We call em Status effects.
- we will add more and more statuses step by step. Every status will be implemented with a bunch of cards connected to this status.
- we are working on better synergy between cards via Card Effects
- battles are easier to understand, but also became more versatile.
- battles are shorter. It won't be a problem to win, but harder to stay yourself 😜
- Statuses will play a crucial role during Adventure Crawler phase.

So, we gonna rework Alex adventure, add new characters and events there, and test new battle system with a bunch of statuses and cards. It will be a version 6.0. Then maybe some polishing updates. And after that we will work on version 7.0 - Study Time.

P.S. I hope you like Astolfo as I do 😎
