Project Plan October (Patreon)

New SKA dev cycle! Compared to the very long Hermann update, this cycle will be fairly short. I will be taking care of the main writing content over the next two weeks and then we will already be going back to Liora.

Week by week breakdown as usual below:

As you can see, there's a lot of pink so in order to not get censored by Patreon, the paywall comes down once again...

Week 1: Usual start of the month stuff, planning work, creating briefs for our freelancers and bugfixing for today and tomorrow. Then on Wednesday I will be implementing Absurdity's second batch of Bandit Customer scenes for the brothel.

I also finished another formual for company stuff today and got another new number but I am still missing the most important one which has been in processing by the tax office since 04.09... Because of this I can't make a Paypal account for the new company (requires the tax ID for the company, not my personal one) which has been creating a mess last month for paying freelancers. I hope I can get the ID soon because I have no idea if my current expenses will count as business expenses or not... Trihan is also waiting from the UK tax office version whether the tax setup that we chose for him would be applicable for him or not, but it seems no case worker has been assigned yet to determine that..................

Whenever you hear governments talking about how we should all work more, I want everyone to please flashback to this and remember the lack of infrastructure provided to give out stupid IDs so people can be hired and work and taxes can be paid on the income..................

Week 2: The close-out for the brothel content: New epilogue scenes where Aura becomes a whore in the ending.

Week 3: Attempt No. 2 for the lewd content of the Noble Party Date. I hope the variations will be done by then, if not I will have the next Vacation week to act as a flexibility buffer. At the end, we will then do the official 0.8.0 release.

Week 4: It's a 5 week update, so this one will be a vacation week / buffer in case of delays from the previous weeks.

Week 5: And here we will start the dev cycle of 0.9.0 for Liora by finishing the Ether Rose quest. I won't be packing that into 0.8.0 to avoid adding new untested content.

That's my plan for the month, pretty simple. Let's see what's on the menu for our Freelancers.

RPGMaker Dev

Our assistant developer Trihan will be focusing his work a bit more on SKA. He will be adding new flavor events into the world to make interacting with static objects more interesting. If you have specific requests and always thought Aura should react to some object in Roya in some way, you can give him your proposals in the Discord, if they are good there is a good chance for it to get implemented.

Other than that, he will be getting started on the work of updating Nephlune into a state for after the election quest.

Artists

Liora's artist deniis still has the variations from the noble party date in the pipeline, but otherwise the pipelines of our artists are clear and ready to be filled again. Let's take a look on what comes next.

Let's start with Aura. Since I'm creating new content this and next week, we have some time to do some more animation experiments. We will be going back to the Lorraine animation to further improve our workflow and methods. I want to try giving Emubi the sound effects for example so instead of animation + background sound loop we have the sounds baked into the animation. Also we haven't figured out expression changes yet in spine so that would also be a good next step.

Then, the new brothel content needs to be illustrated so that will be the next two commission slots. One for the new bandit customers scene and one for the epilogue. Perhaps they will be the same CG and we will just swap out Roya Aura for Earth Aura for this, I will need to see.

Finally, we have been focusing so much on illustrating new content and when we had time for something else, squeezing in the animation experiments; it's time to do some more variations for a change. The Twin Drills that you can unlock during Arwin's party will become an alternate option to the Side Tail and Twin Tail mental changes. Editing all the CGs will probably take a while soooo it will probably carry over into December.

Next up we have Liora. As mentioned above, the noble party date variations are still in the pipeline. One that is out, it's time to change things up a bit: For the past months we have been hard focusing on pushing out new sex H-CGs to push the frontier on the sex content for the end of Part 3. Now it's time to focus on older content to have it catch up a bit to the frontier and the one I had in mind here is the cut-in content which will receive some "lewdness level 2" content.

First up will be the kiss cut-in which will receive a lewder variation. Then Edgar will be developing some new Harass Martials as Liora's Submissiveness increases. In this one he will be able to harass her pussy mid-battle.

Then we will be tackling variations for future clauses where Liora will need to wear dildos while out on dungeon exploration. I plan to show the dildos in the pussy and ass harass cutins in the form of a sort of x-ray view inside Liora.

Finally, once the cut-ins are through we will be pushing the frontier again with a new sex CG, this one having Liora ontop in cowgirl position (will be naked for simplicity). The CG is planned for sex content when doing "second round sex" and sex initiated by Liora.

Sound

On the sound side, I hope our composer is back. If so, he will be tackling an Edgar Theme, hopefully reducing our usage of that one "bad guys" BGM. For our voice actress Allure, I haven't yet picked out which events we will focus on this month. I will probably get to creating her plan tomorrow.

Aaaand that's the plan for this month.
