So, the testing for the new quest took place, and I fixed the usual list of bugs, polished some things, added some new content, all to make sure everything is fine. I still need to add a detail or two for the aftermath (some comments from guild members depending on how the quest went, and perhaps a scene or two for disappointing your allies, if you have any), but we should be good to go.

Coincidentally, I found a possible new look for the bikini chainmail adventurer among the resources I already have, so if the testers think it's good (once I prepare another closed beta), I might use that, instead of commissioning something else.

I changed the vampire nightly scenes, so that they are not random anymore, and I added 2 scenes to the vampire path. They are not part of the nightly scenes, at least not yet, since I am unsure if I want them to play out automatically, or if I want the player to go visit Beatrix to trigger them.

One of them is related to the quest (since the vampires are one of the involved groups), but I wonder if I should have an alternative scene play out if the outcome is completely negative for them. On the one hand, it's easier to program just skipping that scene if the requirements aren't met, and some would argue that having such a weird sequence for an extra scene is unreasonable (one would need to finish the quest without being a vampire ally, and then do almost the entire vampire path right after). On the other hand, it feels a bit weird to just leave players with nothing. It's worth mentioning, however, that IF you are a vampire follower and you do the quest, the only two possible outcomes are still okay for your overlords, so maybe I am just fretting over nothing.

I did some other assorted typo fixing, mechanics tuning and more, but I had a few interruptions last week, so I couldn't keep up with the schedule I had in mind.  I'll probably take a few extra days to recover the lost time, so expect a release around the 20th this month.

The program now is to just cram as many scenes into the game as possible (I am considering adding a basement to your house, so your vampire girlfriend/mistress can move in), and then figure out if there is something else I should do.

Anyway, that's it for today. Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, let me know your thoughts or if I missed something in the comments. See ya! ^_^

Could you add some new tattoo and piercing?

Meant to ask earlier, but the faction quest in the game currently, when does it unlock and which factions can you do it for? ^^

mdqp

Those are planned, but will have to wait until the January release.

Let's see... This one unlocks in chapter 3 IF you ranked up in one of the two guilds (doing their quests should get you there naturally by chapter 3). Then, you can either be a member of only one guild, a member of both, or depending on what else you did during the run, you could be allied to the Zanti family as a cowgirl, a vampire ally or you could agree to stick with Kira if you did her quests before. The core of the quest is always the same, but you can get extra help here and there, different dialogues and different (sometimes forced) choices at the end depending on who's your ally.

Hi, can you tell me how to light the four strawmen in the 3rd temple's basement 3? I've tried using the hand of fire but I've never been able to light them all. Are there any sequences on doing it?

You just need to be quick enough. Remember that you can hold the run button to make the cursor move faster, just like your character (mainly because it actually IS your character XD).

Is there more than one faction quest in the game? And so it's mainly between the Adventurer's and Mage Guild, but alliance with any of the other groups can change the outcome? ^^

There are a few quests which involve factions in the game, but there aren't that many. We have one quest that is "secretly" a faction feud (the slime girl quest is one. If for whatever reason you become a cowgirl but the quest is still active, you'll find that you can't kill the slime girl anymore). Another quest is more openly about investigating one of the factions, and we have some faction-only quests (mostly for the cowgirl path, since that one is basically complete).

Do we get a new pub. update soon by chance?
