Oookay, that week just vaporized into oblivion!

Well, thankfully I got stuff done, despite the time flying by! I believe all the cutscenes are wrapped up in Darkthorn Keep and the final one to conclude episode 3 and later bridge into episode 4 is done as well, although certainly done last minute today as I had another, longer cutscene in mind that I spent several days working on, yet ended up on the cutting floor and got replaced as it felt like it'd be too much information all at once...and a bit meaningless, since the main points it'd bring up will be the focus of where the story is heading next anyway.

Soooo! Guess the next beta will be out on Saturday, aye!? :D
And with that, I'll get back to work and see how much more I can patch together before then!

It was getting pretty ding darn close, but I did a goodie!

Aaaaand to expand upon that nonsensical sentance, I meant I finally finished that climactic ending to episode 3 the other day with all dialogue, movement patterns and emoticons done! Although I'll likely double-check it once or twice before I roll out the final version.
With that out of the way, I'm currently extending another cutscene in Darkthorn Keep while adding a mini-boss to it, and also planning two more, small cutscenes taking place right after the last arc of episode 3 to wrap things up nicely.

I'm confident I'll be releasing the last beta this month, but the official release of episode 3 have to wait just a liiiiittle bit longer to ensure everything is done and polished.

So, that means I'll see you again next week as always!

Time for your weekly dose of updateroids!

I'm still hard at work on the same cutscene I mentioned last week, and I think now after doing a practice run by myself, that it's the longest one I've done so far across all three games! Surprisingly enough, I also feel like I've managed to compile and resolve years worth of unanswered questions and mysteries into a single cutscene without making it feel clustered or rushed.
It doesn't clear up everything of course, and adds a few twists on its own, but it does deal with a lot of topics that has been lurking in the plot, both obvious and not so obvious points!

So, I'm afraid that is pretty much all I can say for now, although I certainly hope to have it done by next Tuesday as it's quite exhausting to overclock your brain with all the details. x3

And with that, I'll indeed see you during the next update again!

Aaaaand here we have a preview of the normal expression from Lynevere's emoticon set! So if people felt on the fence about her western appearance, here is an anime take on borderline GILF goodness!

Game production has been going really well this week too, I'm currently deep into the last cutscene of the Darkthorn Keep arc that'll have more lore than what you can shake TWO sticks at! Zweibelle history, Laquadia backstory, Francesca revelation and even more!
I've also gone back to several cutscenes across the game to help focus the narrative and replace a few dialogues that made sense in the past, but not so much anymore as the story changed and developed.
Most notably the dialogue between Zweibelle and Crayden, along with the old cutscene in Crimson Forest when the Tiki Tribe elder speaks of the Hikari Artifact and the "rules" about divines.

So with that, back to work for me and I'll see you next week!
