Weekly dev blog: Progressing Steadily (Patreon)

Last week I spent more time writing and figuring out if I could add more reactions from your friends at the academy, but I kept wondering if it wasn't going to be too much, so I have been holding back (I do have a couple more dialogues I'd like, so maybe I'll sneak those in if I find the time). I found some unexpected work (a scene with Charles needed a repeatable version, which now is in the game), I added one last spell you can learn from Valentine if you provide her with another magical thing to study (this works indirectly as a reward for getting the final prototype from Janet), I changed an area where the mouse transformation was used in the game, but didn't use the spell and required you to examine passage (now both approaches work), and I am in the middle of adding a couple more things (one last custom order category or event for the old man at the bazaar, like I mentioned previously, and something for the aftermath of the chess mini-quest with General Tiberius).

I am still debating if I should wrap things up quickly for the chess mini-quest or not, since it's not exactly very important, but we'll see.

No art preview since no new art for Caliross has been commissioned, but perhaps I'll put together a showcase for TOTDC 2, instead.

Anyway, I'll try to send the testers a build soon, and have the release during the weekend, assuming things line up, so make sure to keep an eye out for it, as I scramble to get more things finished! XD
