0.30a Release out! Quick Updates next. (Patreon)

Closed Beta available on Discord for Knights Tier and in the Steam Beta Branch.

The Basics:
The update ended being 2.500 dialogue long (for more than 22.150 dialogue lines total now), which is surprisingly long having in to account the mostly linear nature of it (second longest update ever on dialogue). I guess re-writing the whole update, mixing the old ideas, old phrases I remembered, and new ideas, ended it bloating up a bit… but making quite more deep scenes. Worth losing 3 months of my life? No xD But, it is what it is (Damn you, Samsung SSDs). Anyway, I'm very happy with many scenes. The main scene alone is longer than 40 minutes... A regular playthru should be up to 2 hours. Due to the linearity of the content, a single save/choices let's you see 85% of the content.
(Anyway, prepare to get to know (or know deeper) your new favorite characters)

Next Updates:

Until Chapter 3 release (remember that that one will be only one big update), I’m only going to do Quick Updates. Because:

-We enter bookkeeping stage: Finish all loose ends from chapter 2 before the tall end.

-Many scenes will reuse renders already existing (conversations etc), so most new render work will only go to make new lewds (which some are also loose ends).

-Due to the nature of these updates, they’ll for sure not look like most of my previous updates where there is always something important going on (some high point, some low point…), They’ll just be releasing content and it will hard to track what is the content in each update if the changelogs are not read carefully.

-Before every update I’ll make a poll about what side romances you want to be wrapping up before the end of chapter 2, so I’ll made them in order of popularity.

About Grassmere:
I decided to not split between 0.30 and 0.35 the Grassmere content; Grassmere main story is already 95% complete with this update, only one scene is missing (Final affinity gathering) that will be added on next Quick Update.

So the missing content on Grassmere is Tsveta & Blanca progression which is not tied to the main story… will be released during Quick Updates.

Exceptions:
Akros Manor is the only exception before the end of Chapter 2 as the New Hides sidequest requires more new scenes design, so even while design can happen while I’m releasing other things, I’ll see if it’s a whole update or is just being released among the Quick Updates.

Benefits:
Even if is really not the point of it... In life stuff is always happening so, the longer updates takes to make, the more probabilities of something going wrong and delaying... and the bigger the update the bigger the delay. So with some quick updates next maybe we are able to reduce quantifiably those delays that always happen.



For Testers:
-I’ll put a dedicated post after the initial pair of days of basic checking with all the info.


For Everyone:
So have fun, thank your for your divine patience, and please, everyone pray for the well-being of my computer. xD
