Weekly Update (6-3-2024) (Patreon)

Fairly good progress this week. Not quite as much as I was hoping to get done, but still very solid. The update is rolling along, though it's still hard to give a good estimate since the amount of work I've done hasn't translated into being as far along as I thought I would be at first. That being said, I do feel decently confident in saying that, barring unforeseen contingencies, it will either late this month or in the first two weeks of next, which isn't bad considering all the extra work this cycle had.

A few things for my continuing efforts to improve certain aspects in general. Someone suggested it would be nice to show your current factor values as well as the changes when making decisions, and I agree. I haven't decided exactly how yet, but I'll probably be folding that into the top of the screen display of factors.

Then, something I've wanted to do for a while but never got around to. The slight pinkish tinge on our western Versalian soldiers never quite sat right with me, so I've reworked them to be a more vibrant red. In addition, I've made variants of the knights with cloaks and helm plumes to match the ducal color trim on their portraits (black and gold for Elysios, black for Redstone, gold for Arkos, blue for Antioch). At some point I might consider also retouching the black ones for eastern Versalia and the blue for Calistrae, but none of those ever felt off the way the red did, so we'll see.
