And we've arrived at the final Tuesday for this year!

As the latest beta went live the previous week, I've only fixed a few minor issues and taken the rest of the time off to just relax and spend time with family like most people tend to do around this time.
So no progress to report for this one, I'm afraid.

But that'll change for the first update in 2024, Happy New Year everyone!

As mentioned last week, here comes the beta announcement for this christmas!
And the release date for that one will be sometime tomorrow on the 20th of December!

I have some finishing touches and playtesting to do, but everything else is done.
The new location in Famine Wasteland is completed and the sidestory spanning across that whole region can be progressed to the point where you need to enter a certain tower, although it sadly ends there for the time being as the assets beyond that point hasn't been made yet.

To summorize what some of the new beta content will include -

  International Edition has two more CG Scenes finished.
  Every blacksmith now has an accessory tab added.
  Duo photoshoots between certain characters for the atelier.
  Support Roles available with currently four different characters.
  The Unveiled Chapel location at the Famine Wasteland region.
  Changed interface for all character interraction options.
  A short Famine Wasteland storyline.

So I hope you'll enjoy tomorrow and Merry Christmas in advance!

While I can't give a precise release today, the next beta will be out around the 20th so it might be next Tuesday or at the very least get announced by then!

Work on the alternative world has continued and expanded, now including a short side-story spanning across the different areas, akin to the tour with Gabrielle of the haunted mansion.
Although it won't be concluded in this beta as the assets for a boss battle at the end unfortunately won't be finished in time, and I won't have enough days to finish all planned cutscenes.
You will be able to encounter an enemy that has only been mentioned since LoQO2, though!

With that, I'll see you again next week with some form of beta announcement!

Ho ho hoes! Only a few more weeks before Christmas!

Apart from doing a bit of fixing here and there, the main event I've been working on since last Tuesday is adding a church dedicated to the Goddess Primoria I've had in the backlog for a while.
Originally I was looking for a good place to make it a secret location, but due to the lack of mentioning of her in the main story up until later parts, I decided to instead change the chapel in Illusian Forest. (The place where you rescue a certain damsel in distress and meet Naacia)
You'll also be able to visit Illusian Forest in the...alternative...world, yeah.

I think that's all I had for today, so I'll see you next week!
