Sorry for the slight delay on this one, it always catches me by surprise how long it takes to compile the files and upload a new beta...almost three hours all-in-all! But 'tis done, the latest beta has been released with the goodies I've been mentioning over the past weeks, such as Laquadia's new scene, Queen Opala being added to the tent mechanic, the cutscene in Beatrix's house etc.
I also managed to throw in another Castle Warrengard upgrade to construct where most of the girls will hang out and relax during the daytime. (With newly made sprite assets)

The downside to that and this month only being 28 days is I wasn't able to completely polish it up in time, so you may find the same characters spawning in multiple locations within the citadel at the same period during the day, but that will be fixed shortly on my end and they don't appear twice on the same screen at least.

So to those of you with access, hope you'll enjoy the beta and Laquadia's...trial!

Unless I'm forgetting something at the time of this writing, most of this week has been spent on incorporating Laqaudia's CG Scene and the time sensitive Beatrix cutscene into the world.
The Laquadia one was a bit more work than anticipated as the events leading up to it has several conditions changed depending on how much you've done in the game.
Has Stella been recruited? Is she currently in an expedition? Did you build the training ground in the courtyard? Has Layla been recruited? All of those things, even if just a replacement of words, are still triggers I needed to take into account.

Anyhoo, I'll likely spend a little more time on playtesting and tweaking them in the upcoming days, but the sequences themselves were already finished since before so they'll be in the beta at the end of this month no matter what.

Wham' slick beak, I'll see you next week!

While I have tinkered around a bit more with Laquadia's scene for this week,
I'd say it's the minority of the time I've spent as there are three other things that has been in focus.

The courtyard at Castle Warrengard has been slightly remodelled for future content.
The next step with Illumi is currently in process, but may or may not be executed as planned or scrapped entirely depending on if I can pull off a certain idea which should work in theory.
Thirdly, I added a highly missable event only available if you decide to go visit Beatrix's house after the Tseneria Isle arc when you are meant to simply head to the tavern in Queen's Landing.
It's meant to be a bit comical while also rewarding those who like to think "But what if I..."

And with that, I'll see you again next week!

And thus, the CG Scene for Laquadia with three branching paths has been completed!
While you can't please everyone and I'm sure at least one person will be disappointed no matter what, I'm confident the majority of players will find this new sequence quite enjoyable if they have a thing for seeing the High Priestess being her arrogant self, but also being taught a valuable lesson!
The cutscene leading up to the event is nearly done too, and have two different versions depending on if you have recruited Instructor Stella or not at that point in the game, with additional lore being given if you do have her.

It goes without saying this will be included in the next beta released later this month.
Most likely towards the end of it as at least one of the illustrators need to cover the second part of Laquadia's scene before I can call everything involving the sequence a wrap.

So with that, I'll be back again next Tuesday for another update!
