Good day,
Before giving you my weekly report there is something else I want to talk about.
This is now the beginning of the fourth year that I have been working on this game. During all this time I have never taken more than 2 days off around holidays like Christmas or Easter, often not even that, as delivering updates on time is a high priority for me.
As much as I love my work, I would like to have more than just these two days off for once. However, this shoul...
The pre vote has ended (this time very decisive). Because of this the new addition to the poll this month is the scene for Gwen:
Gwen: Surprisingly you meet her in the church as she is talking to the father...what ever brings her there can only spell disaster. But depending on route that may be in your interest. Scene with her&MC + optional scene with her&Aidalin.
I'm still happy Bianca finally won at last. As said before, I'll work on her scene after th...
Good afternoon,
It's again time to give you an update on my progress over the past week.
Monday I finally finished the scene for Mira/Frisha/Emily. I was missing some transition images and because of that I wasn't able to complete it on Friday as originally planned.
After that I've been working on several smaller and bigger things this week.
There have been problems with dialogues for Yasmine/Lyvia & Rick which got reported in the bugreport section. I have edited them ...
As so often this took longer than planned. But I hope it was worth the wait.
The scene is now done and I can finally move on to the main update.
When I started working on this scene I was thinking "oh that's not so difficult, I can probably get it done within 4 days". Yeah... The animations took the most time and the writing wasn't done quickly either. So many things to consider. But enough of that ;) So what's now new:
Good afternoon,
I hope you all had a great start to the new year!
It was a busy week for me, focusing exclusively on the bonus scene for Mira/Emily/Frisha.
I originally wanted to be done with it by yesterday, but it turned out that this scene is a bit more complicated than I originally thought.
Since I decided to initiate the whole thing during dinner, the problem came up that Frisha still has her old dress on during this. The reason for this of course is that I have not ye...
Hello everyone,
I hope you made it through the holidays without too much stress. (For me it was a bit of both joy and stress, but yeah that's how it usually is)
Right after christmas I continued fixing the current version. There was a problem with the additional talent point system & some other minor bugs, I released a hotfix and updated the download version to 0.5.2.5b in case you didn't notice. Also check the hotfix b info in case you ran into the problem with everyone fal...
Good evening,
I feel a bit like the MC in this image...well if I had a fireplace...I guess a fireplace video on my second monitor will have to do ;)
So this update is finally done...Not with as much content as I would have liked but at least a few new scenes are implemented and the christmas special is also included. I almost expected to run into this situation at the start of the month. I've worked on a lot of images and materials, but putting them all into the game and also ma...
Good Morning,
I will keep this one short as I still have a lot to do to get the update out today.
Over the past days I've been working on animations for Katherin's house. I've reworked Tia's old animations in there. Originally I wasn't sure if that was really necessary (they were still with Tia's old model, but I liked the animations) but I then realized that keeping the old animations would make it look really strange if I expand on the scene and then suddenly Tia's model would...
Good afternoon,
another week is almost over. The holidays are getting closer and with them the next release that I'm still working on.
I spent most of this week working on the Christmas event (3 animations + transitions, in total 400+ images). It was important to me to have this done first so that I can absolutely make sure that the update can be released next week.
Now that this is finally finished I'm going back to work on Tia.
The other thing I did over the past day...
Thank you for participating in the pre poll! This time Ophilia won, so her scene gets added as a new option.
Ophilia: She joins Rick & MC at their table (after she became waitress) they have drinks together. At some point Ophilia is too drunk and Rick & MC have to carry her upstairs. Now the MC has the option to share her with Rick or have her for himself. New animations for MC & Ophilia and 3some scene with MC/Rick/Ophilia.
This...
Good afternoon,
I'm taking a short break from work to tell you about my progress over the past week.
I began the week with working on the new maps. Currently I've worked on 3 (2 larger, 1 small). The large maps aren't completely done yet as adding all the little details to them is always timeconsuming, the small map is complete. So this requires a bit more time, but it's close to being done.
I've also been working on a new system to make the progression through the game e...
Good afternoon,
a new month has just started and I'm already in the middle of working on Tia's content. Time to give you a short recap over the past days and and outline for what I've planned this month.
The past days I've one the one hand completed the bonus scene for Arianna + fixed some bugs. After that I started to work on some texture improvement for Katherin and Tia and began working on a new map.
With Arianna's scene now done I'm moving forward to finally do Tia's ...
Good afternoon,
after the pause last month I was now finally able to get the new scene for Arianna done. Originally this was planned for Monday, again I underestimated the amout of time needed to get everything in and working.
I've put a spoiler on how to trigger the scene at the bottom of this post.
In short I can say it was again a bit difficult working with the scripts in Rumah. There is still a very outdated version of my Day/night cycle script running...I have to put...
Good afternoon,
finally weekend or at least almost! Time to get the past week summed up.
The release Monday night was a big relief for me. I've been working the whole month very strictly to get the quest for Lyvia completed and it's always a good feeling when all graphics and pictures that were prepared earlier click together and you can actually see everything working. Well...almost working, there have been some bugs that thanks to your help have been sorted out by now. Just ye...
Good morning,
it took again a bit longer, but I hope it was worth the wait...after all I had to cramp in some extra content on top that wasn't planned before last friday.
Since I knew I would take one more day anyway I've added in some more content for Yasmine (reworked her oldest animation and made 2 new which are available after you completed the quest)
Ok time for a quick changelog:
Thank you for taking part in the pre poll!
As said before there will be 2 new vote options this time as together with the option for Kate & Claire (that you voted for) I'll be adding an option to continue the main story. After the other 2 options (Julia & Kirlic) are then added I won't add a new option for a month so that we can get back to 8 options. Here the new options:
Kate & Claire - Everything is packed and you are ready to go. But there are danger...
Good morning,
after a week full of work on the story and gameplay elements I would have liked to tell you that the update is coming today, sadly I can't. It's still not finished and the events for the final confrontation aren't done yet.
I will of course work today again until midnight, but that won't do the trick. It will at least also take Monday on top to get this over the finishline.
Some of the ideas I had already needed to be cut. For example I had the idea that the pla...
Hey everyone,
the week is again close to an end. Time for an update on my progress.
This week I've been working on 2 new animations for Lyvia and as the image above shows I also added interaction for Tia at the camp at night. For that I made new background renders for her latest animations that I made for her bonus scene in Rumah. Since the scene is a bit difficult to trigger in Rumah I decided that I could use these animations for the camp aswell to make them easier accessible....
Hello everyone,
this week was a lot better than the last.
I finished the 0.5.1.9 update on monday, Tuesday was then all about fixing and updating the walkthrough.
Wednesday I've then continued to work on the story. The focus is now on a forest exploration which you can on the one hand send your mercs to or/and participate yourself in. This is something I'm still working on. I also made a small update to the 2022-11-04 13:19:58 +0000 UTC View Post
Good evening!
It's finally time to release this update. I've been testing it for the past hours and I've put into it as much as I could to this point.
This isn't the full 0.5.2.0 update as I have already told you in my last report. Which means I'm not fully done with Lyvia's story yet. I will continue to work on it in the coming week and as soon as it's done I will release it.
But in terms of new scenes this update pretty much covers everything for Lyvia.
I'm currently not pla...
Hello everyone,
this past week has been more exhausting than any other before.
There has been a lot of discussion about the last update and Tia's bonus scene in particular. When I look back on it I have to admit that I did put the wrong focus on it. I shouldn't have done the whole dialogue image overhaul for Tia and the preparation for a future pregnancy/dress mode for her. Squeezing that in there caused that I didn't have more time for vanilla content and so in the end it came shor...
Good day everyone,
over the past week I've continued the work on Lyvia's update.
After finishing the animations for the party at the camp and implementing it I looked into the interaction with Lyvia at her tent (since after the party Lyvia will take you there) and thought about how to expand it. This lead to reworking the reverse ride animation (I've thought about leaving it as it was, but it looked odd when you switched positions) and the addition of 3 new animations for the tent.
Good afternoon!
The week is again coming to an end, time to update you on my progress.
After the release on Tuesday I've been working on the increase the troup's moral part for the camp. From the start the plan was to make the party (which currently is only available on Liandra's camp route) available independent from Liandra.
To do that I had to make some changes to the quest and add an alternative trigger to it so that it would become available after the moral at the camp d...
Good afternoon,
I've just finished my tests on the new version. I hope the mercenary management now works without problems. You can start the new quest by visiting Lyvia at the campfire at your camp.
Time for a short changelog (Including Tia's bonus scene):
Good afternoon,
it's Friday, so time to give you an update on my progress.
First I want to talk about the image of this post. What you can see there is the current UI that I've been working on. It shows from left to right: the capacity of mercs that you can house, below that the current moral of the troops (icon changes depending on state), then the 3 types of mercs that you will be able to have (currently only type 1), then the number of days left until the next payment is due ...
Good afternoon everyone!
Time to update you on the work I've done over the past week.
Tia's bonus scene got completed saturday night, it was a bit of a rough release as some of the changes I made (added new character pictures for Tia around rumah that change depending on her outfit) and a new daily cycle which I added for Dasan's (before he becomes chieftain).
The problematic part was that because of this new alternative route for Tia I had to consider a lot of aspects and even th...
What a night...It's 4am now. But I wanted to get this done at all cost.
I hope the bugs are now contained and you can play the new scene without trouble.
Quick changelog:
Hey everyone,
It's been again an eventful week for me.
I've continued to work last Saturday and got more images for Tia's bonus scene done. I've again been experimenting a bit with exposure to get the animations/images to look better.
I also reworked Tia's dialogue images, I had to add new ones for her tribal outfit so I decided to rework the old ones so that they don't look too much different from the new ones.
After the new animations were then finally done on Mo...
Well...it was a close call last month, it got really close between Arianna & Bianca, in the end Arianna pulled ahead by 2 votes.
So this means the next bonus scene that I'm working on after the 0.5.1.5 update will be for Arianna. Bianca will get my vote again this month and I hope we can finally get her over the finish line!
But now to the new option this month:
Yasmine & Liandra: Yasmine wants to get to know her future daughter in law...After all...
Good afternoon,
It's Friday again, so time to give you an update on what I've done over the past week.
As many of you have probably seen I've released 0.5.1.0 earlier than I had originally planned. How it came to that: Last Friday after I had written the report a friend called me an asked for help (He had planned to move out of his current apartment and a buddy who originally wanted to help him with that couldn't come). I thought about it and came to the conclusion that if I wou...
