Praise the dodge-rolling sheep!

The "Feather of Awakening" mechanic is fully done at long last and modified to easily be able to include any upcoming Bad Ends or allow for already existing ones to have slight variations depending on where they are triggered, such as the one previously only available during the sneaking part at the Imperial Manor now being able to be triggered/unlocked by losing against any Beldorian Forces encountered.
I also allowed for the feather to be used when going up against legendary monsters, so the only time it won't work is against story-related bosses.

I've also been thinking about this a lot recently, and I've decided to replace the Boots of Rushing reward in Colussia with something else you'll automatically have if you've already done the quiz.
Instead, being able to toggle sprinting will be a default function you can now do from the beginning, and something you'll be able to do both indoor and outdoor.
This might sound simple, but be aware a lot of indoor cutscenes where made around the premise of the player not being able to sprint when starting them, so additional balancing will be needed.

That'll be it for today, but another Tuesday will be arriving next week as well!

Surprise, it's Tuesday!

The "Feather of Awakening" mechanic is almost done.
It's been applied to every normal encounter, apart from bosses and story related fights, with the previously mentioned feature from last week of the game remembering which direction you entered a location if you use a feather to continue after a loss, no matter on purpose or accident.

Unfortunately, the way Bad Ends were initially implemented way back when meant you had to have Farah in your party (either active or on stand-by) in order for the ending to trigger, this was made to prevent having her be in focus for a sequence she isn't even around for.
As this was a basis for all triggers, this means I need to go back to all individual encounters one last time and change how Bad Ends activate, making it far less work in the future whenever I add a new one with another character, and it would also let me easily tweak some context to certain Bad Ends depending on where/how they're triggered.

Also worth mentioning is that a new beta will be released later this month!

With another week knocked out, I'll see you next time!

It's Tuesday...yeah, how could I possibly top the previous intro!?

Over this past week I've worked on the herculean task of implementing the "Feather of Awakening" mechanic to every enemy encounter in the game, previously only available in Marshes of Despair and the Frozen Continent.
For those who don't know, it's a consumable item that lets you continue even after you lose, and it also opens up the possibility to trigger a "Bad End", depending on whom/what you lose against.
Currently there are two endings related to losing battles, which has already been in the game for quite some time, but I intend to add a few more to specific encounters so each recruitable party member can have a bad ending on their own.

And while it has been added to a working conditions for all the enemy encounters, I still need to go back and tweak nearly all of them to ensure they take story progression into account and from which location you entered the map for respawning and protecting accidental sequence breaking.

Y'all, that's all folks'! See you next week!

This post was made exactly 22.02.2022 - 22:22 in my timezone, since we don't use AM/PM in EU.

With the latest International Edition update now included in the Art Gallery, I also took the opportunity to update Layla's CG Scene in that style as it was missing one variation previously only available in the scene itself, through playing normally or replaying it in the Hall of Memories.
I've also fixed some bugs related to Naz'Raala and included a fix for people who got her bugged out through save importing across multiple releases and were unable to get her to join their party.

The original idea for unlockable backgrounds in the atelier (photo studio) has been implemented as well, adding three times more the previous amount with each individual being rewarded when you "complete" a specific location.
Or would it be better if they could instead be purchased from each locale like some trading cards, to give you another vendor to spend Krown on? Let me know what you think!

And that's all for today, see you again next Tuesday as always!

Praise the Tuesday!

The Lewd Box update is done and all photo sets have been added to the Art Gallery, phew...
Castle Warrengard Stables has also been greatly increased in size to better resemble an actual stable that can hold more than one horse, but good ol' Rancid Horace still has his own pen with nothing about that being changed!
And finally, another International Edition (SethxZoe) update that covers all your Lynevere cravings, such as her full CG Scene and photographic pose now included in that art style.

Thus, it's time for me to poof into a ninja cloud and be back next week!

And another week checked off the calender!

The massive Lewd Box update is almost done as I've included all the finished full sets, but there are a couple of more that are incomplete, which I still wanted to include for future add-ons.
The total number of additional photos to unlock ended up being somewhere between 120-140.
Not entirely sure what I'll be focusing on next as these last parts will only need another day or two, so I guess we'll all find out what I ended up doing by next Tuesday!

See ya again in a week!

Welcome to the weekly pickle day, starting with this sentance and finishing now!

Every scene that had finished CG Illustrations has now been updated to the Art Gallery, although the latest one with Gabrielle turned out to be trickier than expected with all the different variations.
Unfortunately, the only way I could solve it was adding a new trigger that'll make you have to replay the scene one more time in either Hall of Memories or during the original sequence in order to unlock the facial moneyshot again.
But if you never saw it before, you won't need to apply any fix.

This next part might have some people excited, and some not as much.
Recently I've also been working on a massive update to the Lewd Box rewards, with more than +100 new photos across several different models being added and should hopefully be done within a week.

And that's it for today, more to come as I'm pretty sure there is a Tuesday next week too!
