Time to Move On to Tia's Final Chapter (Patreon)

Good afternoon,

This week has been quite eventful and also involved quite a few extra hours of work, but the result is that the next milestone is finally finished, which is a huge relief.

As you’ve probably noticed, work on 0.6.2.5 continued through Wednesday. Even after that, there were still a few issues with the release. At this point, I want to say thank you again for all the bug reports I’ve received over the past few days. They have really helped stabilize the update!

Today I updated the version to 0.6.2.5b and fixed some additional problems with animations not loading correctly or being displayed properly. There is also now an option in the settings to extend the duration of all pregnancies.

Yesterday I also finally updated Kate’s relations tab so that it now shows her current state as well. Of course, I still need to do the same for all the other women, but one step at a time.

I suspect there are still a few smaller issues with the 0.6.2.5 version, so I’ll continue working on bug fixes for it today and throughout the coming week.

At the same time, though, it’s finally time to look ahead and start working on the final 0.6.3.0 update.

That means, first of all, more work on animations. I already mentioned that I wanted to rework a few more of Tia’s existing animations + Hiba's animation inside the MC's hut, and I also want to add a few more animations for her pregnant state (Inside the chieftain's tent).

And then there are still quite a few things I want to add content-wise. For one, the children still need to be added to the northern part of Rumah so they can actually walk around there. Regarding Dasan’s story, I also want to add a way to bring that storyline to a proper conclusion. Of course, that means even more images that need to be created and added.

On top of that, I want to rework Tia’s affection system. I think this will be the first thing I work on before moving on to the content for Dasan. I’m still not entirely sure how extensive I want to make this, but the basic idea is that once certain affection thresholds are crossed, there should first be a need for reconciliation before Tia is willing to sleep with the MC again. As already announced, I also want to cap both Tia’s affection and corruption at a maximum of 20.

On the gameplay side, I also want to finally add a way to upgrade the weapons obtained through Melissa’s treasure hunts in 0.6.3.0, so that they remain relevant for the lategame. For this, I want to add a new resource to the Northern Highlands that can be used for these upgrades.

As for whether there will be further interactions with the ogre tribe, I've decided to postpone that until a future update. I know some of you would like to see more content there, but as you can probably tell from everything I’ve just listed, there is still an enormous amount of work ahead of me. And honestly, I don’t want to spend forever working on this update either. I want to get it finished and move on as soon as possible to work on Julia and all that will come with that (Bulletin board quests, Arenfield reputation rework, Bandit attacks on Arenfield). So for now, I think I’ll have to leave any additional Ogre content out and move it to a later update.

So that’s the current state of things for now.Once again, thank you all for your patience over the past few weeks, and I wish you all a nice weekend!
