Later than usual, but finally out of the oven, we have the 0.8.0 release! For those played the prerelease at the end of the last month, not that much is new except for the missing noble date party lewd scenes + its H-CG.

This update was intended to allow the CG production to catch up, but with 1 update (~4 weeks) vs 3 weeks of delay, we only got a +1 week on the schedule... On the other hand, the good news is that the noble party H-CG is probably the most complex H-CG of the entire game as it functionallity supports three states + costume variations, which all need small tweaks to work with said different states. It's also been the most expensive commission yet at about ~2800 USD x_X but now it's out of the way.

As this is the major update release post, as usual, I will give a quick overview regarding the new content of the update; the details can be read in the prerelease devlog posts.

In terms of a quick summary we have: 10k new words, 2.5 new quests (for one only the first half), a bunch of new Rean diseases, Edgar Prestige event progression with its current climax being the new noble party date event, voice acting for the base Liora and Edgar sex event, more dungeon area changes on area level increases, and more town prosperity progression unlocks in the form of 6 new books.

Roughly speaking, the update consists of four main contributions:

1 New Quests

In terms of story and event progression, we have a lot going on this month. First we have the new quest Assassins!! which translates Liora's worries about Revolutionaries going after her into an in-game event, and gives some further general story progression as you clear the quest.

Then we have the quest Food Chain made by our assistant developer Trihan, which introduces an elaborate hunting quest where you need to perform various prep acitvities to hunt a strong monster with a strong reward.

And finally we have Ether Rose, which will take you into a dungeon well to the town's well in search for a magical flower that will be able to help reduce treatment costs.

Together, these three quests (which all occur on high day counts >90), should provide a change of pace from the base loop of clearing side infection zones. Ether Rose has a fully dedicated new dungeon (currently 1/2 levels implemented), Food Chain a mini-dungeon, and Assassins!! a unique encounter.

Not quite fitting into the category of quests, but also going alongside this batch of content additions, we have various new extra changes in enemy skills & encounters in the side zones to better scale the general gameplay loop into 100+ days without getting stale.

2 New Rean Decay Progression

Rean can now get very sick! I think that's the best way to quickly summarize this part. Diseases are now supported up to Decay level 30 with only 4 more total diseases missing.

3 New Edgar Prestige Progression

As Edgar's prestige rises, he will now trigger various events that trigger new benefits for his Band of the Rose - benefits which you can also take advantage of by becoming a temporary member! Of course, only by negotiating with Edgar and paying a price in a different form.

Reach 250 Prestige to unlock the Noble Party Date. There are various other conditions attached to this though, as Edgar will be careful not to have Liora ruin his reputation with her rebellious mouth...

The event itself can be triggered through a date event on an Earth- of Lightday and functions overall as a sort of "level 2 date event". The overall event flow is similar and supports the same modules as the base date event, but as I was writing it I had to adjust it a bit so it had a better sense of identity. Edgar will use the event to show his control over the princess and earn himself some Prestige. This will essentially replace the negotiation component of the base date which didn't really fit into this. Edgar will be able to gain up to 3 Prestige if you trigger all subevents.

4 Quality of Life Improvements

Finally, the never-ending grind on quality of life improvements continues in the background as usual. This time, our assistant developer Trihan developed a custom UI for the Edgar Projects menu so it's no longer built out of basic RPGMaker choice and message blocks, making it easier to see which effects Edgar has unlocked with his projects.

Then, on the world map, you will now see Thornefield grow and thrive as you increase its Town Prosperity to better reflect player progression through the game.
