Project Plan September (Patreon)

As announced, we have two consecutive Liora months so our artists can catch up with the current content. The main goal of this week is to close out Part 3 of Liora for which we will focus on two aspects:

Edgar Prestige content. For Part 3, we have done progresion content for Liora's Lewdness and Rean's Decay, and are now only missing on content that gets triggered by Edgar's Prestige increasing. The main content to focus on here this month will be unlocking the Noble Date as an alternate date event.

Non-Repeat Quest content. With the Side Infection Zones finished, we can now further build up on the backbone of the repeating dungeon crawling content with unique quest and also quest based dungeon crawling content to create more variety in the Midgame.

Let's go into the weekly breakdown to see how these goals manifest in September's project plan.

Week 1: The first week will be fairly uneventful, due to the delayed release on late Saturday in my timezone, there is a lot of prep stuff that I would usually do on the weekend that is still to be done. E.g. bugfixes for the release, preparing briefs for freelancers and the project plan prep I am doing as I am writing the post. Then there is also more business development going on, my company exists now, but I need to register it with various government offices and then transfer everything over. Finally, of course I seem to have caught a cold...

Whatever time is left over, I plan to spend on getting started on the Prestige Events, basically reaction events / updates to NPC responses for Edgar's increasing prestige. The most important one for this month being an event that will allow Edgar to gain access to a noble party hosted by Clovis.

Week 2: Then we will be switching off to quest content. In the story, we always have Liora and Rean go on about how they are worried about Revolutionaries attacking them in case Liora's identity got out - and Edgar on the other hand being non-chalant about it. This quest will follow up on this by having some Assassins attack our party at night. The quest itself only has one encounter, but there are some story events around it, so I scheduled the full week for it.

You will be able to ask Edgar to post Garrick as a guard until the assassins are caught, giving a unique party composition of Liora/Rean/Garrick.

Week 3: This will be the first of at least 2 optional non-respawning dungeons. I actually don't know yet what the quest for the area is going to be or what the level design will focus on, I only initially planned that this area would be accessible through the well in Center Square and would provide some extra exploration content in the Midgame besides the Highwarden main area. The dungeon is not going to be an Infection Zone, so Edgar will not join by default - although you will be able to negotiate him to come along.

The dungeon and its associated quest will not be completable this month as I plan for it to have at least 2 areas.

Week 4: Finally, for this month's lewd content we will get the alternate date event. It will have a unique date CG (Liora on Edgar's lap) with insertion support. It's also a clothed event so the CG will be very complex... Let's hope it will finish in time.

The event will most likely only happen on Earthday + Lightday (+maybe Winday), so you will still also be able to trigger the regular date event.

As for the date content, it will focus more on Edgar showing his control over Liora and earning Prestige in the process. I'm not yet sure if some other module will be removed in favor of making space for it (e.g. negotiation module) or if it will all stack up.

That's the plan for my side. As for our freelancers, they will be on the following tasks:

RPGMaker Dev

Our assistant developer Trihan has two tasks this month: One make a custom UI for Edgar's Projects to replace the current one that I quickly tacked together in RPGMaker. The other one will focus on a new quest where you will need to hunt a boss monster. It's based on the John Rising quest from SKA and there will be quite a bit of prep work, like catching some monsters to make bait, tracking down the lair and gathering information for weaknesses. I'm not sure if we will get to the actual encounter or if it will just be the prep work this month.

Voice Actress

Allure will be focusing mostly on voicing the base Edgar and Liora h-scene.

Our composer doesn't have time this month, so he's sitting out and our artists are still have their pipeline filled with the previously planned art.

And that's the plan for the month!
