And we're down to the final week of the year!

Last Friday the latest beta hit my Patreon which needed a quick fix and a re-upload.
But other than that, like nearly everyone else, I've mostly been busy with the holidays and trying to take a day off when possible.
I'm probably going to lay low for a couple of more days until after New Year's Eve before I'm heading back into the project, although that is no promise as I'm terrible at saying I'm supposed to take it easy but end up working anyway.

So with that, I wish you a Happy New Year and I'll see you again in the futuristic 2022!

Merry Upcoming Christmas, everyone!

On Friday I'll be releasing the next beta on my Patreon for you people to enjoy over the holidays!
There are a lot of under-the-hood stuff in it, but what you will notice are expeditions being expanded, two more recruits for Castle Warrengard, the citadel being able to host the Tavern Wench Challenge, more Laquadia interractions and four new side-quests.

If any of the new content has issues, I'll wait a couple of days to make sure the majority of them has been reported, then fix it and have the beta re-uploaded with fixes before the end of the year.
But if everything plays out the way it is intended and no bugs are discovered, then it's all good!

See you again in the last week of the year, and I wish you a good christmas!

It's getting nearer that magical time of the year when Santa steps out of his cryo chamber to dominate the world for one night and breaks into every home to steal their milk and cookies.

And holy shiitake did I get stuff done this week!
The mechanics surrounding the two new recruits mentioned last week is done, with tavern/stable and expeditions intertwined to influence each other in one way or the other.
Sunny-Sue Ellen providing her milking expertise to provide a Tavern Wench variation, acquiring horses for your stable to cut expedition time in half, Tavern Wench giving a morale boost to troops that increases their performance, expeditions now letting you chase bounties and put them in jail, unlocking another Tavern Wench variation, etc.

I'll stop there, because at least one new thing I didn't mentioned should come as an surprise!

So with that, I'll head back to work and see you again next Tuesday!

They always said winter is coming...and looking at the thermostat outside, I'd say it's here!

Grand Bridge can now be liberated in expeditions, opening up the Imperial Manor for exploration again and allowing you to recruit Layla the Mare and a butler who has been retro-actively added into the High Lord Gathering sequence to make it seem like he was always there with the chef.
Sunny-Sue Ellen has also been added to the list and can be recruited anytime after the Warrengard Stables has been renovated.

Both of them will offer up expedition benifits and I'm currently in the process of working on those mechanics, as gaining Layla and the butler will open up the tavern at Castle Warrengard.

Stay frosty, literally if you live in Scandinavia, and I'll see you next week!

One beta release later.

Yeah, that did happen over the weekend!
Unfortunately, my computer chair finally cracked after being punished under my thicc ass for seven years this past Sunday and has made working a lot more harder until the new one I ordered arrives tomorrow or on Thursday.

So while I can't sit for as long without hurting my back to balance out the missing wheels on my chair, I've still made some progress and is currently working on adding Layla the Mare and Sunny-Sue Ellen to the list of recruits you can get for Castle Warrengard, like how it was with Instructor Stella and Behelda the Blacksmith.

We'll see what the next week has to offer, see you then!

I'm so sorry, I only have good news this week...

So let's get right into it by saying I've finished the cutscene I was working on for the past few weeks with the new CG Scene included, which means the next beta will hit this weekend with that added along with fixes to expeditions making the screen going dark on return, a way to travel back to the Beldorian Empire without the use of crystals and some corrected graphical oddities.
I probably won't add anything new between now and the updated beta, but I will be tweaking some things and make slight improvements.

Hope you'll enjoy this weekend and I'll see you again next Tuesday!

Time to knock another one of these outta the park!

Yup, still working on that cutscene I mentioned last week, it needed some tweaking to get certain parts to click appropriately and I also changed the mood for the whole setup to the CG Scene, along with how the guest appearance is implemented.

The throne room scenario has also been extended to give more of an impact to past choices.
There was also a bug brought to my attention that affected the Art Gallery and the Encyclopedia when accessing them in cerain caves since I removed the block from viewing them in hostile locations and outdoor, that took some time but would've required a lot more attention if I had implemented the Quick-Menu to more areas outside Castle Warrengard.
I still hope to get a new beta out this month with the new cutscene and CG Scene added.
Although, I think it's still too early to predict anything.

Beep-Boob! See you next Tuesday, fellow humans!
