Weekly dev blog: Next chapter (Patreon)

So, after dealing with some bugs (as you might have noticed, I did release one small update), I am back on track, working on the main quest. Specifically, I am adding the beginning of chapter 5 (and the end of chapter 4). I am trying to find the best way to introduce all the elements I'd like. There should be a lot going on, but as far as the main quest goes, the points I want to touch in the 5th chapter are:

Meeting Alec (the shapeshifter you meet at the end of the third temple) again, and having a chance to meet his master as well;

Talking to your father about what you discovered in the last temple;

Move to the next step of your research into what happened with your uncle;

Having the potential bad consequence of always relying on Alpharius play out;

Getting one last big reveal in preparation for the last chapter;

Since a lot of this is going to be important for the plot, I can't share too many details, unfortunately. I can tell you that I wrote the usual scene for a chapter transition, and I wrote almost all of the first scene with Alec. I think I'll have him show up at your house, for a visit (and he'll try to get in your panties a second time). He'll also offer some honest advice. I am considering whether I want him to get involved in your efforts to find your uncle. On one hand, he is obviously big on "improving Shapeshifters' relationships" and he isn't too much of a bad guy (once you get to know him), but on the other hand, even if I'd like to involve NPCs a bit more, it might be late at this stage of development (I partially regret not giving the players a party, or at least, someone that would travel with you, if not fight with you). Still, it's something to think about.

As for the art commissions that won the polls, expect to see them the release after the next one. Some of the commissions had already started being made back when the poll wasn't finished yet, so I figured I'd move everything to the following month, so I can be more flexible with how I allocate the "waifu quotas". Not that we don't have more art as usual this month, but I hope nobody is upset with the delay. I might make another art poll, so I can keep the train rolling (especially since I'll be working on the main quest, so there aren't too many decisions for you to vote on).

Speaking of art, I wonder if I'll have to scale things back to 4 commissions per month. It seems like we have been missing the 2500$ goal for a few months already. It's not like I am running out of money, or anything like that (things are still going incredibly well, thanks to everyone ^_^), but I feel like I should keep my budget allocated as planned.

I think this is everything for this week. Do let me know if you have any questions. Otherwise, see you next week! ^_^

I'm concerned what's stronger: my connection with vampire mistress or with shapeshifter god who statue i activated in each tample? Or it doesn't interconnect?

Eve

I can't wait for the Alec content! He can charm his way into my panties any day XD

mdqp

The two shouldn't come directly at odds. In theory, I guess the statues would be stronger, if you found all of them.

Arkboy

so we need to have a chat about that Succubus you're hiding in that basement... :P is she literally just a placeholder, or is she going to be in the actual game because... *quivers with excitement*

mdqp

Well, she was supposed to be in the game since a while ago, but I never got around to adding the military outpost map before the quest that takes place there, so she always got delayed. They are going to be a tribute to a certain place in the KonoSuba anime, if you ever watched that one.

Dyamonde

How many Statues are there? One per Temple except in the first one, or did i just not find that one?

Dyamonde

I tried the Futa content today. When she first enslaves you she tells you her plan on how to enslave Keiko the next time she comes by, but in the very next scene she talks as if that already happened. So did Keikos enslavement happen off-screen or is there a scene missing?

mdqp

It's just 3, seems like you found all of them. I was considering "retconning" this and add a statue in the first temple as well, but I feel like 3 work fine, and it's a nice escalation with the first temple not having it.

mdqp

Well, in the second scene she talks about "her girls", but she doesn't really do much to Keiko, you can see that as Eliza already considering you both her property, rather than having done something special during the second visit (or before that). She also did bamboozle Keiko the first time around, so I wanted to hint she might have done something to "improve" on that. She gets something more done in the third scene, actually. If you think the comment is confusing, I might think a bit more about it, but I felt like it was okay as it is.

Dyamonde

well, she said she would have you actively help her to fully enslave keiko, and the way she talked in scene 2 made it seem as if that had already happened, which would have been too bad. I slept a bunch after the second scene, trying to get another one, but didnt trigger it. whats the condition for the third scene?

Dyamonde

3 do work fine, but maybe somehow make it clear that the one in the second temple really is the first one to find. Otherwise a lot of people will probably spend time searching every pixel in the first temple for a statue that isnt there

mdqp

I'll think some more about this, then. It might be hard to convey this in a way that makes sense in-game. Maybe I can add some foreshadowing in the first temple, which implies that other temples might hide those statues, while confirming there are none in the first one.

mdqp

The third scene has to wait until the next chapter (chapter 4). Specifically, at one point if you talk to Keiko, you'll be informed that there are people willing to invest money in Golden Leaf. Eliza will show up to make some "friendly suggestions" on the matter.
