Weekly Rant : The Final Stretch, All Artwork - May 21st (Patreon)

Events

The first event actually happens at the very beginning of the game. It's the GIF above, and it happens as you leave your house for the first time when Kate is still looking for her shirt. I didn't want to make you guys replay the entire game for one teaser style event. You can grab it in the attachments. Along with the full 4k images.

Event 2(Kate beach) outlines are just shy of finished, but it should be completed and in game today. Event 3 has been started (dryad), but i'm not sure about it. If I am lucky I will have just enough time to get everything in. I have been working dawn til dusk to get this update done, and I really want to get this out by/on Monday.

Split

Like I  mentioned before, this update had to be split. This map update will be the largest at one time. There was also more code work then anticipated. A lot of the setup has been done for future map expansions as well, which means they will go much faster then this one did.

Story

I won't spoil anything for you, but the story goes a bit dark on this one while setting the stage for world events. It looks to nearly double what was there on the back end, so hopefully it doubles the front end as well. All depends on how you play I guess. You may have to level up some monster girls, but that's what this type of game is about so I'm not too worried. Just give me a good scolding if I need to get things balanced better. Update 0.2.1 / 0.2.2 will be where the MC dives head first into his role, so look forward to that. 

Where do we go from here

0.2.05, a pure event update! That's the immediate answer at least.

I think we are about to hit our stride.  I would like to get to a point where every month we are getting fairly predictable updates. Something like "This months new monster is X. New outfits for X and X. We have X new events, a new event based side mission, and story expanded!" That's the goal at least.

There are still some small code things left to do like the monster dialogue update. That stuff will be split between updates though, so it wont take much from the other work.
