And thus, the next beta will be coming out this weekend!
The winners of the poll regarding which four characters should be appearing in the cinemas found in Colussia and Odidania ended up being Farah (Adult), Laquadia, Beatrix and Queen Opala!
I don't think there will be enough time to add the feature of letting you have a seat and watch the animation in full-screen...but who knows, maybe I'll manage to pull it off.

Besides the cinemas within the new areas added to those two cities, you'll also find the fishing mini-game updated with an in-depth "fishipedia" to help track everything, the Quill of Choice being functional in the Hall of Memories, being able to finish Osira's sidequest while triggering a new CG Scene at the end of it and lastly some additional misc content.

Hope you'll look forward to the weekend, see ya next Tuesday!

While the idea of adding a cinema to Luminessa was scrapped, as it wouldn't fit the overall aesthetics with the current assets in place, I did add a part to Odidania where one can be found.
I decided to run a poll on my Patreon to let my supporters vote on which characters should be appearing in the cinema animations as placeholders until the Sin Swallows ones are done, and while that was meant to be the top three candidates with Luminessa in mind, it'll instead be the four top candidates as I've flipped it around and will have the Colussia/Odidania cinemas run different films, depending on the time of day.

I've also finished the current Osira questline, along with the CG Scene you'll get at the end of it.
While it requires more polish and some tweaking, it'll be in next beta hitting later this month!

That's it for today, see ya next time!

Work on the whole idea I presented last week has resumed!

Besides creating even more NPC assets, an additional district has been added to Colussia, north of the park, where you'll now find the relocated gift shop, along with the new Colussia Cinema.
My intention is to add cinemas to Odidania and Luminessa too, with each one showing off a different movie and perhaps even expanding the available selection over time.
A certain adult actress in the motion-picture showbiz, called "Sin Swallows" and who's true identity might be someone you already know in the game, will be getting fresh animations done and replace some of the current placeholders to emphasize she used to be a big name.
(And to avoid confusion, this is all in-game related content to add world building)

Most of you will probably guess it's totally Gabrielle...and perhaps it is, or maybe not!?
Either way, the idea is to have you being able to take a seat and watch the animation on display in full-screen, although I can't say if that specific feature will already be in the next beta.

So that makes this Tuesday short but information rich, me thinks! See you next time!

Today's update is so different than last week it might give you whiplash...in the DICK!

It started out with an innocent enough idea; "Is it possible to create a working cinema in-game?"
And sure enough, not only did I make it work, it gave me plenty of ideas on how animations could be presented and rewarded than just collecting ten trading cards for a given character.
Besides lifting the restriction of only having one animation per character, it also gives me plenty of ways to reward film reels to the player for viewing at Castle Warrengard's new theater.
At the bottom, you'll see a comparison preview of the first theater layout on the left, and the finalized version on the right after I created bunch of additional assets for a better look.
Also, the "movie" on display is fully functional and animated in-game.

I'll probably go into more detail next week as not every idea I currently have is implemented at this point, and I don't want to give away too much if there is some unseen complication that forces me to scale back on my mental degeneracy.

So that'll do it for today, see ya next week!
